@Polymarket Military birds fly over my house occasionally also. Where the fuck else are they supposed to fly?

BREAKING: U.S. Army investigating why military helicopters were flying near the house of Kid Rock this past weekend.

@preshwrite @Polymarket Key word training mission. A nothing burger.

@Polymarket United States Army doesn’t usually move without a reason, but investigations like this often turn out to be routine training, navigation errors, or miscommunication rather than anything targeted.

@Polymarket Training missions are how we become the best we can be.

@RobJGonzalezFL @EricTrump @realDonaldTrump @POTUS Compare that to the race riot bunker fortress @BarackObama built.

.@Erictrump, from a proud Miami-Dade resident to another — thank you 🙏🏼 You put together the most impactful Presidential Library of our lifetime — a stunning waterfront landmark for the ages. Leaders like @realDonaldTrump @POTUS come once every 100 years. Miami-Dade County is the perfect home. Absolute honor for our county. Spectacular work, brother! 🇺🇸

@a16z Wtf is that chair about? 🤔🤴🏻

Brian Armstrong prefers to be a wartime CEO: “I used to think that I was better as a peacetime CEO, but I think that's not true. It's actually totally flipped.” “I think it's wartime, all the time.” “And I actually realized that I like wartime.” “I find it very energizing and motivating. It can make you really pissed in certain moments too, but it's actually very energizing. And sometimes when there isn't any conflict or war going on, I get a little bored and tired and I'm just like—it seems like nothing's blowing up right now, and I could use a good crisis.” “I don't want to be doing conflict for conflict's sake. I think that that's just destructive. But if you see something—a clear problem that needs to be solved—something to fight after—if you don't speak up and say something about it, then you're failing as a leader.” “Wartime is great. I love conflict.” @brian_armstrong with @ti_morse on @relentless

@EricTrump @megforflorida @GovRonDeSantis @JamesUthmeierFL TDS contagion on 3,2,1...😱

Palm Beach International Airport is now officially…. “President Donald J. Trump International Airport!” Proud to have played a small role in making this happen. Huge thanks to @megforflorida, @GovRonDeSantis, @JamesUthmeierFL, and the overwhelming majority in the Florida House!

@SpaceX 66 more launches to go before it's retirement time.

Falcon 9’s fleet leader booster completes its 34th launch and landing

@SharpFoxWeb3 @SpaceX 100 + launches or more based on metallurgy test/ inspections. 👍🏻

@SpaceX 34 flights, 34 landings. Back when everyone said reusable rockets were a pipe dream, this one’s now made the trip 34 times. Just wondering — what’s the actual limit?

@xerias_x Ufff. Lol! 🤣💩

I love seeing Japan in my feed 😂🇺🇸🇯🇵

@TFTC21 @CynthiaMLummis Clarity & De Minimis first please.

Senators Cynthia Lummis and Bill Cassidy just introduced the "Mined in America Act." This one is worth paying attention to. The problem it addresses is straightforward. The United States controls roughly 38% of the global Bitcoin hash rate, but the vast majority of the hardware powering it is manufactured in China. As Senator Cassidy put it: "That is not leadership. That is a liability." The bill has four major components. First, it directs the Department of Commerce to create a voluntary certification program for domestic Bitcoin mining facilities. Certified miners would gain access to incentives and be recognized as meeting U.S. standards for energy use, security, and supply chain integrity. Second, the certification program incentivizes a shift away from hardware sourced from foreign adversaries. The goal is to build a domestic mining hardware manufacturing base, reducing dependency on Chinese-made ASICs that currently dominate the market. This is voluntary, not a hard mandate, but certification benefits create a clear incentive to move in that direction. Third, the bill creates a framework for certified miners to sell bitcoin to the U.S. government, potentially with capital gains tax incentives. The exact mechanism and scope of the tax relief are still being defined, but the intent is to create a pipeline for the government to acquire bitcoin for the Strategic Reserve without direct open market purchases. Fourth, the bill would formally codify Trump's executive order establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve within the Treasury. This moves the reserve from an executive action that could be reversed by a future president into legislation that would require an act of Congress to undo. This isn't just a mining bill. It's an industrial policy bill that treats Bitcoin mining as critical infrastructure, a national security bill that addresses hardware supply chain vulnerability, and a monetary policy bill that creates a mechanism to build sovereign Bitcoin reserves. Worth noting, both sponsors are Republicans, though Bitcoin legislation has seen growing cross-party interest. Whether this gains broader support remains to be seen. But the fact that it was introduced while Bitcoin sits roughly 48% below its all-time high says something about the conviction behind it.

@KobeissiLetter I thought crypto was the volatile asset though. Lol.

BREAKING: S&P 500 futures erase all gains and turn red on the day, now down over -100 points from the pre-market high.

@RasterlyRock @OrangePilledca @HHorsley Well, duuuh. There is no second best. Bitcoin.

@OrangePilledca @HHorsley Increasingly, institutional investors view bitcoin as a separate asset than the rest of crypto. - BTC: Hard asset, like digital gold - ETH, SOL, HYPE: Growth equities, like tech stocks OR venture (depends on type of allocator) - COIN, CRCL: Growth equities, like fintech

This is my experience speaking with institutions this year. Financial advisors, endowments, pension funds, etc. are more bullish on crypto the crypto people. Meanwhile adoption (stablecoins, tokenization, prediction markets, DeFi, integration into institutional portfolios, etc.) is accelerating. We’re witnessing one of the rare times in crypto where fundamentals and adoption are ahead of price.

@TFTC21 I know this release isfrom today, thanks. But it's very important to note the date of such a news release in your post.

The U.S. Department of Labor just proposed a rule that would open 401(k) retirement plans to alternative assets, including bitcoin. There are technically no existing restrictions preventing 401(k) plans from including bitcoin. The problem has always been legal risk. Plan fiduciaries, the people responsible for managing retirement investments on behalf of employees, have avoided bitcoin because they feared being sued or challenged for offering volatile or unconventional assets. The proposed rule changes that by creating what the Department calls "process-based safe harbors." If a fiduciary follows the outlined process for evaluating an alternative asset, considering its performance, fees, liquidity, valuation, and complexity, they're legally shielded from liability. That removes the single biggest barrier that has kept bitcoin out of the $11 trillion 401(k) market. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer framed it as delivering on Trump's promise for "a new golden age" by building a retirement system that "better reflects the investment landscape as it exists today." The rule covers more than just bitcoin. Real estate, private equity, and other private-market assets would all fall under the same framework. But the bitcoin angle is the headline for a reason: this is the first time a federal agency has moved to provide explicit legal cover for retirement plan managers who want to offer bitcoin exposure to tens of millions of American workers. The rule is now in a 60-day public comment period before it can be finalized. Put this alongside today's other developments, Morgan Stanley filing for a spot Bitcoin ETF at the lowest fee in the market, the Mined in America Act creating a pipeline for miners to sell bitcoin to the government, and Fannie Mae recognizing bitcoin-backed mortgage products. The infrastructure for bitcoin's integration into the traditional financial system is being built in real time.

@RasterlyRock @HHorsley Yeah, well I'm just about broke, so...

@greg16676935420 Lol. Well duuuh, Greg!

If you’re working on your taxes this week don’t forget to report your income from illegal activities and stolen property

@cb_doge Smug, fucking smirking liberal activist judge.

🚨 BIG WIN for Elon Musk 🚨 A Delaware judge named Kathaleen McCormick just had to step down from ALL of Elon’s court cases. Elon’s lawyers proved she liked a mean LinkedIn post that made fun of him about Twitter deal. Biased judge exposed and gone. Fairness wins big time!
