“Republicans who have tried to walk a careful line with President Donald Trump are having a rough stretch in primary season. Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy and Texas Sen. John Cornyn both lost to Trump-backed challengers despite years of attempting, in different ways, to accommodate the president politically. But accommodation is rarely enough with Trump. Republican senators hoping selective loyalty will protect them should pay attention to what happened to Cassidy and Cornyn: If Trump decides you are insufficiently loyal, you are replaceable no matter how often you vote with him. Republican senators deciding whether and when to break with Trump should take that lesson seriously. The time to do it is when you still hold power, not once you’ve become a lame duck. The former requires courage. The latter does not.” (05/28/26)

“The companies that once competed primarily on mining outcomes are increasingly being judged by a broader set of capabilities: infrastructure control, power access, cooling capacity and the ability to serve demand beyond Bitcoin alone. In other words, Bitcoin mining is evolving from a pure commodity hash business into a broader energy-backed compute infrastructure industry.” (05/28/26)

“Media outlets are filled with stories about how AI is taking all the jobs. There are also plenty of stories telling us that soaring deficits and rising debt are going to bankrupt the government. These problems are 180-degree opposites, sort of like saying that someone is seriously overweight, but needs to put on a few pounds. Either can be true, but they can’t both possibly be true. There is zero recognition of this fact in elite intellectual circles. To make the logic clearer, the AI taking all the jobs story is one of abundance. … The out-of-control debt and deficit story is one of scarcity.” (05/28/26)
