Iran kills 7 American soldiers after being attacked by the United States without justification and is a "barbaric and terrorist" regime.

The United States kills 150 Iranian school girls for no reason and is on the side of goodness and right.

Yeah, right, Lindsey, you lying drunk.

Trump's DOJ just gave a slap-on-the-wrist settlement to LiveNation/Ticketmaster.

The deal doesn't break up the ticket monopoly, and comes after its lobbyists boasted about getting the DOJ's antitrust chief fired last month.

Trump's promise to fix a rigged economic system was always baloney.

- the real estate industry is, like any industry, self interested

- most people in the industry are financially motivated to see demand rise, and so will say things with that lens

- for most of 2023-2025, people in the industry were like "it's gonna get better any day!"

so let's pump the brakes

"Jews don't belong in American society."

Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.

But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

As a result, stablecoins have grown to $300 billion in market value from roughly $20 billion in 2020. The Federal Reserve estimates they could be worth $3 trillion in five years.

Because stablecoins use Treasuries as the primary collateral to create this cashlike safety, cryptocurrencies have effectively flooded into the Treasury market, the central artery of the U.S.-led global financial network. Stablecoin-issuing companies, like Circle and Tether, now hold more Treasury debt than major U.S. government creditors like Saudi Arabia and South Korea.

Some experts fear that the next crypto crash could cascade into major losses for the highly sensitive short-term U.S. debt markets in which Treasuries predominate. The open question for regulators, bankers and the Trump administration is whether the growing centrality of the coins carries more upside or downside risks.
