The Trump family stablecoin surged to 7th largest in the world because of a shady crypto deal with the United Arab Emirates—a foreign government that will give them a crazy amount of money. The Senate shouldn’t pass a crypto bill this week to facilitate this kind of corruption.

What an ingrate move to denigrate the only state that gave him the space and freedom to innovate. None of these tech bros could have done what they did anywhere else but in tolerant and inclusive places like California or Washington www.thedailybeast.com//zuckerberg-...

The gift of Pittsburgh. I am passing it along. www.pittsburghmagazine.com/pittsburgh-i...

Have a big philosophy of international law paper almost done but have not looked at it since August. Would like to get it out in the Feb 25 submission window for US law reviews. Hope I don't go back to it and question everything all over again. Haven't sent anything to law reviews in a long time

All the best in the new week. We finish teaching right before Thanksgiving. I hope your exam situation is light this term.
