I'm shocked that there hasn't been major media coverage of this yet.
Last month, I posted a report on a suspicious trade I noticed from a U.S. Senator.
Senator Tommy Tuberville bought stock in a company called Humacyte.
It has now risen 154% since then.
Humacyte is a small biotech company that makes implantable human tissue.
They have been testing their technology in Ukraine, treating combat injuries.
Tuberville sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Tuberville has claimed that his portfolio is managed by advisors.
However, we see active trading of millions of dollars in stocks that he directly oversees.
He's traded millions of dollars in commodities futures, while sitting on the Senate Subcommittee on Commodities.
Tuberville has been one of the most outspoken opponents to legislation banning congressional stock trading.
With trades like this it's easy to see a possible reason why.

On the heyblackrock.com webinar yesterday, I asked @BlackRock to answer some tough questions on governance. Their silence is deafening.
In a historic event, Saba Capital @boazweinstein hosted a open webinar outlining their activist campaign against 10 Blackrock Closed End funds which can be found @ heyblackrock.com. Preceding the event, @BlackRock announced dividend increases across 7 funds, two muni funds raised their dividends between 15-40%, and the other 5 (equity & balanced funds) by 95-125%, primarily through increased Return of Capital. Saba has filed 13Ds for all 10 today

Often times the best way to get perspective is to put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
I just watched Screams Before Silence, a doc with before untold rape victim, witness, and investigator testimony from October 7th.
The @Columbia, @Harvard, @MIT and other student protestors should be able to relate to the victims as the women interviewed are the same age and probably have shared similar life experiences, like the Nova music festival, up until October 7th.
If you are going to call for a global intifada and/or describe the events of Oct. 7th as ‘resistance,’ you owe it to yourself (and to the victims) to understand what you are talking about.
To the protestors:
While you a camping out, take 54 minutes to listen to the victims and then pretend it happened to you, your sister or your closest friend.
Now consider that 130 or more hostages are still being held, are suffering untold horrors, and among them remain 14 or so women.
What if happened to you?
Screams Before Silence:

Thread from 1.5 years ago on ERC-4337. Still very relevant today, important to understand why it works and how the different parts of the ERC flow directly from the problems that it solves.
The big really valuable and necessary thing that ERC-4337 provides for account abstraction is a *decentralized fee market* for user operations going into smart contract wallets.

New filing: 7RCC Spot Bitcoin & Carbon Credit Futures ETF…
Holds 80% bitcoin & 20% carbon credit futures.
Was only a matter of time before we got an “ESG” bitcoin ETF.
We’re gonna see all types of permutations on spot bitcoin ETFs.
