If you're making the trip out to Vegas for #DICE this year, I'll be around the Aria talking about AA/AAA engineering team augmentation, external/co-development and where to find the best pizza in Las Vegas. Hit me up friends 🍕🍹🎰

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

New tariff just dropped. Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June. (Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).
