"If Jeffrey Epstein's core businesses were money laundering and blackmail, a pseudonymous currency that operates outside the banking system would be very attractive," @benmckenzie.bsky.social says of Epstein's investments in the early stages of cryptocurrency. Follow on Apple: bit.ly/4e9HvG7
"Every crash is really about one thing. It's about credit, it's about debt, too much debt in the system," says @andrewrsorkin.bsky.social, author of "Too Big to Fail" and "1929." "That is the match that lights the fire of every financial crisis." Follow on Apple: bit.ly/484tjuy
In "1929," Andrew Ross Sorkin confronts false narratives about the Depression, including negative perceptions of Herbert Hoover driven by Democratic operatives that began before the stock market crashed. "It actually has a demonstrable impact on the dim view that people have of Hoover's role."
Yale Law School Prof. @oonahathaway.bsky.social said in Feb. the Supreme Court has become "extremely partisan in a way that we haven't seen... in my lifetime." "Big question is, are they going to apply the same limitations to President Trump that they applied to President Biden?" bit.ly/4vdQmN0
"We don't have civility in our public discourse and we must work to restore it," says Justice Anthony Kennedy. "The incivility that we see in our public life generally is creeping too much into the Court's opinions." TONIGHT 8:30 pm ET @PBS.org listings: to.pbs.org/39hI6Tf
“There's,,, all sorts of new products that are going to be put in the market," says "1929" author @andrewrsorkin.bsky.social. “We're now going to take companies that have no disclosure rules and we're going to allow them effectively to be in the public markets without the same rules.”
The War Powers Resolution requires congressional approval to wage war, but “presidents have all sorts of ways of manipulating it,” says Philip Wallach. “Presidents of both parties have found if they initiate short actions, there's very little that Congress can do to really second guess them.”
Health care policy expert Lanhee Chen proposes Individual Health Accounts, but he recognizes “it's not for everybody at this point.” “Health savings accounts as they exist now are predominantly a vehicle for middle, upper-middle income, higher income folks to save for their health care expenses.”
Fmr. Defense Sec. Jim Mattis and Ryan Holiday discuss the value of understanding history in the military. “The idea of learning by trial and error is both arrogant and reckless,” says Holiday. “We turn to the past because the people in the past lived through situations like we're in right now.”
"Legislators see themselves first and foremost as team players for their parties," says Philip Wallach. "They don't see their job as placing limits on the president," says @oonahathaway.bsky.social. "They see their job as enabling him." TONIGHT 8:30 pm ET @pbs.org listings: to.pbs.org/39hI6Tf

Memorial Day began as Decoration Day, founded to honor those who died to end slavery. It is an inherently abolitionist, antifascist holiday. Not just to mourn what is lost, but to remind us that human beings deserve freedom, and our neighbors are worth fighting for. www.noiceinthecup.us

I’ll recall the Harbor Bridge fondly. The times I crossed as a child, riding w/my daddy to his job beneath. A spectacular view once my eyes topped the window’s edge, fear of its height subsided. Praying as my 1st 4-cyl car inched to peak & flood of relief it did. A gateway to family, friends, & fun.

I don't care what you think about BE or Hasan, so don't bother telling me. The larger point BE is making here is the problem with liberal Zionism, however: it can condemn Netanyahu, say the right things about Gaza, and still fail to treat the Israeli war industry as fundamentally disqualifying.

PREACH! Long overdue for the Animation Age Ghetto to be ended and for the Academy to respect artistry for artistry's sake irrespective of medium. They give Oscars to films that are 90% CGI over green screen but reject CG Animation.
Nothing says "stable admin" like Melania dropping an Epstein statement while we’re debating war crimes. It’s a very “smert” PR move: using old ghosts to mask the new body bags. The "dead cat" strategy is working overtime today. Pedo or war criminal? Or both?
