xAI/Grok’s $230 billion valuation makes more sense if it can raise the dead

Suspect people taking this balance sheet shrinkage thing too literally. Warsh will try to reduce it a bit over time, but mostly virtue signalling. Will be part of virtue signalling package, incl. fewer press conferences, scrapping dotplots, anti "woke" drive, less speeches etc

Trump negotiators don’t approach Russia-Ukraine talks as “if we can get Russia to stop attacking, then there will be peace.” They approach it as “if we can get Ukraine to surrender, then we can make a lot of money.”

Cancun Ted over here argued that “partisanship is inherent and permissible in the districting process” in an amicus brief he filed with the Supreme Court in the Texas redistricting case last September. www.cornyn.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care. Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year. She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again. Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

One of the more maddening ai bubble weeks crested by headlines that just say “Jensen Huang says actually the buildout is sustainable.” What’s he gonna say? “Nah dude Blackwell will never pay for itself sorry lol” www.cnbc.com/2026/02/06/n...

"What you did was racist." "Well ... you're fat." Kind of proves the level of people we're dealing with.

Not only is he our President, but he is officially competing for Team USA at the Olympics. One can only imagine how many gold medals he will bring home. Truly the greatest athlete God has ever created.

I held this post up to the light.

Here we go. The grift is unreal.

NEW VIDEO: Federal Agent in Coon Rapids: ‘The more people that you lose in Minnesota, you then lose a voting right to stay blue.’ Two observers talk with this agent who mentions “blue state media” and “voting rights.” Recorded at 4 p.m. on February 4.

we continue to have dispersion on a single stock//industry level. but more and more it seems, broader markets seem to be moving in tandem. maybe that’s just nature when vol spikes as everything comes down. but it does worry me a bit about the eventual accident that will come

J.D. Vance was booed so badly at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony that even the announcers commented on it. “There is the Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha—OOP, those are not… uh… those are a lot of boos for him. Whistling, jeering, some applause.”

No Nazis Allowed

You'd figure a drug site created by a party full of old guys would have a prostate med like Tamsulosin (Flomax), but you'd be wrong. This whole thing is a scam. Instead I recommend @costplusdrugs.com, Mark Cuban's RX company which has over 6000 meds. www.costplusdrugs.com

Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.

He really did say that. Here's the Instagram video where he says it directly to the camera: www.instagram.com/reels/DUbeoy...

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer. (I didn’t take the video, the dog’s person did)

Trump's FBI raid in Georgia is potential model for getting search warrant to seize 2026 ballot boxes, says @rickhasen.bsky.social. "Once those ballots are out of control of election officials we’ve lost chain of custody." On the pod Rick illuminatingly explains all: newrepublic.com/article/2062...
