Bitcoiner solutions to quantum computing threats are apt. But I don't hear input from quantum researchers, and the community seems to just assume the inevitability of the standard narrative, which is dripping with dubious claims and marketing hype from those invested in the worst technologies

Voting rights groups sue Georgia for refusing to release voter purge records Without full access to the records, plaintiffs say they cannot determine whether eligible voters were wrongly removed.

🚨BREAKING: Pro-voting groups sued Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) for refusing to turn over key records related to his office’s sweeping 2025 voter roll purge β€” a purge that canceled nearly 471,000 registrations, about 6% of the state’s voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Virginia Giuffre was recruited at Mar a Lago at 16. Epstein was a member. Melania lived there. Hillary Clinton never set foot in an Epstein property and sat for 6 hours under oath. Melania lived where a child was trafficked and has never been asked a single question. That's not oversight.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Compromising their flagship product by delegating product design to Hegseth is dangerous. Anthropic guardrails differentiate it in the marketplace which they are dominating. Public safety considerations are critical when many depend on AI for life advice, dangerous tasks etc. Let Hegseth use Grok!

Massie goes full beast mode today.

Gets on the house floor, shreds the DOJ and starts naming names from the Epstein files.

CIA withdraws nearly 20 intelligence reports, citing bias The unusual CIA move to review and retract intelligence reports flagged β€œbias” in hot-button issues such as white nationalism, LGBTQ activism and family planning.

Part of the argument for withdrawing the reports is that they were a waste of agency resources.

This is an impossible argument to refute when the agency's budget is secret.

Could the resources for the reports have been better spent? Maybe. But the CIA should have to prove it.

Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the β€œemergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

In honor of DHS spokesliar Tricia McLaughlin's resignation, let's revisit how her husband's company won a $220 million no-bid contract to run a stupid propaganda campaign featuring her boss, Kristi Noem, bashing immigrants while sitting on a horse in front of Mt. Rushmore.

The Epstein money trail leads straight to 45*!

45* sent FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE (4725) wire transfers to Jeffrey Epstein.

They totaled over $1.1 billion. 😱

Pam Bondi is the product of a diseased system.

A system that is so corrupt and beholden to the wealthy class, it cannot hold them accountable no matter what they do, even if it’s raping little girls on private islands.

This is why the oligarchs got behind Trump. To reside safely above the law.

White House is hosting a β€œChampion of Coal” event today, where Trump will outline plans to redirect Pentagon funding to support coal-fired power plants.

He is also set to receive an award from the Washington Coal Club, as part of broader efforts to expand coal use and roll back climate regulations.

I've seen far worse moments in Bitcoin's history.

The collapse of Mt.Gox and FTX, Bcash civil war, China FUD, mining deal spiral FUD, other crypto assets attacking Bitcoin's narrative, etc.
But I still believe. I still believe that Bitcoin is the solution to trust in the financial system.

Ed Martin ran DOJ's "Weaponization Working Group." He illegally leaked grand jury material about Schiff and Letitia James. Lied about it. Emails proved it.
Consequence: reassignment. He's still the Pardon Attorney. The investigator was the crime.

The lead concentration in hair samples before and after the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency. It has steadily plummeted since the 1960s.

A small study found that exposure to leadβ€”a dangerous heavy metalβ€”has fallen by a factor of more than 100 since the 1960s.

However, the researchers warn that all the gains in lead exposure could be reversed if pollution policies change. bit.ly/4ryhLH2

The six senators’ demands come shortly after a nonpartisan watchdog group asked for an investigation into Blanche, alleging that his orders violated the law because they benefited the crypto industry broadly, including his own investments.
