Around midnight, Senate Banking Committee Republicans unveiled new crypto legislation. Among other flaws, it will turbocharge the massive conflict of interests posed by Donald Trump and his family's crypto ventures. No bill should move through the Banking Committee without real ethics guardrails.

Zohran says NYC has erased a $12 billion budget deficit in part by taxing the rich

Yesterday a few of us friends gathered at a local park in Murfreesboro to cast some bamboo rods.

Two weeks ago we had a gathering at Townsend, Tn. and the GSMNP. Lots of Bamboo fly rods, classics and new.

Teddy Roosevelt got shot in the chest and finished a 90-minute speech. Reagan got shot and joked, "Honey, I forgot to duck." Truman survived an attack and kept his Arlington schedule. None of them blamed their critics. None of them built a ballroom. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
