1. Silicon Valley Bank didn't get bailed out. It failed, and was acquired.
2. FDIC didn't do any special favors for SVB bankers, and didn't do it for silicon valley crypto bros. They did it to keep the promise that leads to stability: " When you put money in a US Bank, your deposits are safe."

Most underrated Biden admin mistake was bailing out Silicon Valley Bank.
SVB bet big on low interest rates and lost. Rich tech VCs who put too many eggs in that basket generated a bank run, then called for govt money.
Got their bailout, helped elect Trump, and now reaping rewards from corruption.

Most DCs run the internet and are blocked by our societal inability to do anything at scale.
How about we figure out ways to build clean power at scale and do it fast?

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Didn’t know Weiss was Jewish. Did know she’s doing a Streisand Effect on a story that wouldn’t have made waves and pissing off her entire staff in the process.
What these people are doing to the power of calling out real antisemitism, in an incredibly dangerous time of surging global antisemitism….man, it is just so worrisome

Due process is how you verify people are here illegally.
There’s a (very) strong argument that our process takes too long and is too expensive.
Fix it! Spend the money! Reorganize it!

My family and I, and the entire Japanese American community on the West Coast, were denied due process during our internment in WWII. It is a cherished, critical right for all people within the U.S.’s borders.

Charisma fight is gonna be wild
With the future of the party up for grabs in a Trump-less 2028 primary, Ted Cruz is weighing a second presidential bid.
It could be politically risky for Cruz, putting him on course to collide with Vice President JD Vance. Friction is already brewing. https://wapo.st/4qgKlvI
