@PeteHegseth Resign you fool

So, let’s me get this straight. The Atlantic released the so-called “war plans” and those “plans” include: No names. No targets. No locations. No units. No routes. No sources. No methods. And no classified information. Those are some really shitty war plans. This only proves one thing: Jeff Goldberg has never seen a war plan or an “attack plan” (as he now calls it). Not even close. As I type this, my team and I are traveling the INDOPACOM region, meeting w/ Commanders (the guys who make REAL “war plans”) and talking to troops. We will continue to do our job, while the media does what it does best: peddle hoaxes.

@elonmusk Why is there such thing as a “liberal” judge in the first place. Aren’t they supposed to be apolitical?

Good question

@Marilynrules1 @EdKrassen @Brando_G2 Hmmm this sounds alot like a tax

@EdKrassen @Brando_G2 Actually, if both US and Canada apply tariffs on imports, the governments keeps the tariff money and the people pay more for goods and services. Thus the US and Canadian governments will get lots of money. The people will be poorer but maybe the govts could pay off their debts.

BREAKING: Trump is imposing a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico starting Feb 1. Canada supplies the U.S. with key goods like maple syrup, lumber, aluminum, oil, and paper products, while Mexico is a major source of fresh produce, dairy, cars, and medicines. The result? Expect higher prices at the grocery store, gas pump, and hardware store. Cars, appliances, and even homes will cost more as building materials like lumber and aluminum skyrocket. Tariffs don’t punish other countries—they hit American consumers the hardest. Families will pay more for essentials while inflation is already a concern. This reckless move will hurt your wallet, not theirs.

@GaryGensler @SECGov Smell you later Gary!

What do the vast US capital markets have to do with you? And what role does @SECGov play in making sure they work best for you? Let's break it down in this very last Office Hours video:

@AronCotard Ey Ron-B, it’s good to hear your voice

@prestonjbyrne The same way orange groves can be a security in one transaction and not in another. The same way bitcoin can be a security in one transaction and not in another. What part don’t you understand of Howey?

...this decision raises more questions than it answers. How can a thing be a security in one transaction, but not in another? UK legal doctrine evolving to answer this (the "Third Thing" concept). In US, it has not; hopefully Congress will get involved and clear things up soon.

The Ripple summary judgment is obviously not the last word on the issue; if Ripple Labs accepts the limited win here (which they won't) they're still turbo f***ed because they've got multi-billions of dollars in institutional sales that they're on the hook for.

@freddyriz @freddyriz Pretty sure the only made up test was the “Hinman test”

“rejected Ripple’s made-up test” *translation* “We are extremely butt hurt at the moment. Falling back on name calling makes the pain easier to handle at the moment.”

@cryptowar_ @WhaleWire What’s your arbitrage strategy?

@WhaleWire Finally It happened! Printing money 🖨️👍

@elonmusk @wholemars How about powering your starship with e-methane?

@wholemars California has pushed hydrogen for a long time. Makes no sense.

Our state is run by morons

@EleanorTerrett Here in Bavaria we are about to start a 4 day weekend celebrating Corpus Christie. You’re just in the wrong place ;)

I just told my Uber driver to “have a nice weekend”. 😑 What is it with me and living two days into the future?

@Belisarius2020 What do you mean support the price but not increase it?

Further, the SEC in its SJ motion asserts that Ripple has taken several measures to support the price of XRP not increase it. The SEC doesn’t say whether these measures worked /5

It was surprising to me that the SEC’s own expert conceded that since mid-2018 onwards that Bitcoin and Ethereum price movement can explain as much as 90% of XRP’s price movement./1

@ALAMarkets @Leerzeit No he was selling them in the open market on bitstamp, you can check the transactions leaving the tacostand wallet

@Leerzeit Could he have been selling the contents of his wallet to the government or a bank ( J P Morgan ) under a deal with the SEC ?

Did you know that the SEC not only did not charge Jed McCaleb, but actively fought and asked the court to prevent Discovery against Jed McCaleb? The guy has sold more XRP than all the charged parties combined and the SEC is protecting private citizen McCaleb and his company?

@kimbal Glad @elonmusk finally recognizes the need for green hydrogen and (hopefully) liquid e-fuels for deep decarbonization of hard to abate sectors

A sustainable energy future is achievable and we *will* achieve it in our lifetime 🤠

@CherryEmpress21 @attorneyjeremy1 @bobbyrobby20222 @IOHK_Charles If there were to be a settlement, would it need to be approved at one of these meetings?

@attorneyjeremy1 @bobbyrobby20222 @IOHK_Charles Ah the good ol’ Sunshine Act meetings that regularly occur 😏

Let's see if the rumors I heard are right about the XRP resolution. Might have some egg on my face

@JoelKatz @JohnEDeaton1 @Bitboy_Crypto @atozy I hope those 2 empty seats were for @attorneyjeremy1 and @JohnEDeaton1 !

@JohnEDeaton1 @Bitboy_Crypto @atozy I had this terrible nightmare last night. A busload of lawyers went off a cliff. Oh, I almost forgot to explain why it was a nightmare. Two seats were empty.

So, about the @Bitboy_Crypto / @atozy lawsuit: It looks like everyone is doing the right thing now. And as I suspected, it seems Ben was mislead by his lawyers who *definitely* should have known better. Yay for happy endings.

@sammyblade Dude I just tried to call you but don’t think I have your new number… and I suck at Twitter but I have news! Just accepted a job offer to move to Germany! Erlangen (Nuremberg) or Frankfurt - call me!

@sammyblade The Jimmy - Saul - Gene arc has got to be one of the best in history

@JohnEDeaton1 Still no

Can anyone visit deatonlawfirm.com?

My website just crashed for some reason.

@HPSupport @Wendigoon8 Wow I’ll never buy a HP again

@Wendigoon8 Hi there, since you’re a part of Instant Ink, if there is a payment issue, Instant Ink cartridges will not work but you can use your printer with regular store cartridges. This works exactly like a postpaid mobile connection. 1/2

Our HP printer hasn’t been working for a month and every manner of troubleshooting, resets, changing ink cartridges, didn’t seem to work. After calling HP, they said the debit card on file had expired so they manually disabled our printer. In unrelated news, I’m now radicalized
