@GovBobFerguson Now provide them the same level of security at their homes that you get as governor.

I just signed a historic bill. In Washington state, law enforcement officers, including ICE, are now prohibited from wearing masks.

Updated NCAA policy allows competition in women's sports based on birth certificate. In many states people can change their sex on their birth certificate. In days! And it isn't shown as "changed." Why is the @NCAA so committed to unfairness for female athletes?

.@CashApp did you remove the option to pick the funding source when paying bitcoin invoices? When I pay a @spark invoice it pulls directly from my bitcoin balance instead of cash (I'd love to have it default from cash). cc @milessuter

US national debt surpassed $39T just five months after hitting $38T👀

It floats !!! @Mariners new ferry boat!

Paging @GovBobFerguson

@primal_app @Justinmoon Does the new wallet return a pre image has so it can be used with bitcoin-connect.com? Cc @getAlby

@milessuter Will new merchants appear on the BTC map by default?

@milessuter So glad to hear it will be default on vs opt-in.

Next month there’s a whole lot more of exactly this coming. Stay tuned.

BREAKING: SQUARE TO AUTO-ENABLE BITCOIN PAYMENTS FOR MILLIONS OF SELLERS Square will auto-enable Bitcoin payments for all eligible sellers starting March 30, 2026, according to an updated Terms of Service notice sent to users. The change means millions of businesses using Square could soon begin accepting Bitcoin by default, rather than opting in manually. The rollout is part of Block’s broader push to integrate Bitcoin payments across its ecosystem, leveraging the Lightning Network for fast, low-cost transactions. Sellers will still have the option to disable the feature or automatically convert Bitcoin to USD at the point of sale. With Square powering millions of merchants globally, this marks a major step toward making Bitcoin a standard payment method in everyday commerce.

Three years ago, on a Tuesday in March, I was preparing with my youngest son to watch USA vs Japan in the final of the World Baseball Classic. We never watched the game. I was in the kitchen making coffee when a flurry of calls started coming in -- with the news that my middle son had been struck by a vehicle while he was working. Tears and desperate prayers followed as we waited for an update. Then the call from my oldest son an agonizing 45 minutes later with the choked words "he's gone"; then Pastor Redlin's calming voice that took the phone and said: "Matt. I'm with Joash. Jadon is with Jesus." Suddenly, baseball didn't matter; coffee didn't matter; nor any of the other things I enjoy in this life. At that time (and now), the only thing that mattered is Jesus Christ -- His saving work on the cross and his resurrection defeating sin and death -- and that my son IS SAFE in Him.

@rosejn @mattyglesias @EggerDC That was a quote from @AOC. Being factually accurate is important. She was rightfully mocked for the statement.

@austinvach @mattyglesias @EggerDC As there should be no? I am curious where do you find being factually incorrect but morally right is a good thing?

Remarkable thing about Paul Ehrlich is not just how wrong he was but that we was totally unphased and unchastened by his wrongness, just a total epistemic disaster zone — a pattern of conduct that is unfortunately shared by many prominent people from different schools of thought.

@EconDerek @mattyglesias Me to the NYT…

@mattyglesias love the NYT calling his predictions "premature"

@LizWolfeReason What a beautiful baby. I'm sorry for your loss 💔

I miss him.

@FintechKristen This is slick. No more "do you have CashApp, PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle?" Well done.

Getting paid shouldn't require someone download an app. We've rolled out Universal Paylinks to 100% of customers. Send a link to anyone, and get paid back with Apple/Google Pay. No Cash App needed. Your network now includes everyone. LFG.

I don't typically wade into politics, it's not my thing, but I do think war is something that deserves to be treated with the weight it carries. That's not a partisan statement, it's a human one. I don't believe our founding fathers would have approved of treating war and death like a video game. ❤️
