.Scott Jennings on Arizona Democrat Senator Mark Kelly leaking sensitive information about the U.S. missile stockpile to CBS’s Margaret Brennan... “Well, I’m glad we have an admission of what’s going on here. Mark Kelly’s partisan interests are what’s most important. This man is a United States senator. He’s getting classified briefings from the Pentagon. And then he goes on television and tells our enemies around the world in great specificity, which weapon systems are depleted, which need to be restocked. Setting aside the legal issues, which — I’m with Molly, I’m not a lawyer either, and I don’t know what the future of that holds. Did he ever stop to ask himself what is in the best interest of the United States of America, and not just my own political future? Because it’s obvious that he did not. A sitting senator going on television and telegraphing to our enemies and our threats around the world what we may or may not have. It’s extraordinarily irresponsible, but let’s not let that get in the way of a presidential campaign.” “Well, I mean, it’s already out in the open when Kelly goes on television.” “I think everybody heard it. It was on.” “So the options here would be to ignore it or to lie about it?” “Look, look — I mean, look, Mark Kelly went on television and said, I got a classified briefing and here’s what I was told.” “Look, this all started because a senator received classified information and chose to disclose it for the good of his own partisan interests, not for the good of the country. I don’t know that there’s any other blame to be laid here.”

NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell: “Is there a risk with you describing her as a deranged leftist, talking about very specific facts of these events when an investigation is just beginning? Are you preempting a thorough investigation by drawing such conclusions? And have you received any information beyond the videos we’ve seen publicly about this individual, her specific acts that has informed your point of view?” Vice President JD Vance JD Vance: “Well, first of all, the Department of Justice is going to investigate this. The Department of Homeland Security is already investigating this. But the simple fact is, what you see is what you get. In this case, you have a woman who is trying to obstruct a legitimate law enforcement operation. Nobody debates that. You have a woman who aimed her car at a law enforcement officer and pressed on the accelerator. Nobody debates that. I can believe that her death is a tragedy, while also recognizing that it’s a tragedy of her own making and a tragedy of the far left who has marshaled an entire movement, a lunatic fringe against our law enforcement officers. I think what is clearly happening here, and it’s going to keep on happening unless the Democrats wake up and say, you know what? You don’t have to agree with our immigration policies. You don’t have to agree with what the President or the Vice President believe about immigration enforcement. But why don’t you take this to the ballot box? Why don’t you vote? Why don’t you organize? Instead, what some of them are doing, what some of them are doing, is encouraging people to get violent with our law enforcement officials. It’s disgraceful. And it’s got to stop.”

It actually makes sense to remove Lilepo when you need a goal, especially when you contextualise his output properly. Here is my argument📝 ■ You don't need a goal from Lilepo. You need a goal from the team, and Lilepo is focusing on himself more than the team. He has 2 league goals and 1 assist in 14 games, with 4 goals in the CAFCC. But the deeper issue is efficiency: ■ In the league, his 2 goals came from 56 shots. That’s 1 goal every 28 shots❌️ ■ A scoring frequency of 520 minutes per goal❌️ For a regular starter in an attack that already struggles with conversion, that’s a serious problem. Something our coaches are paying less attention to hence they keep arguing with journalists instead of fixing this problem with proper selection and tactics. Using Lilepo as an inverted winger from the right with obvious instructions to shoot on sight💔 Now compare that to Silva, who scores every 92 minutes and is leading in this area in the entire league. A player who deserves the minutes we are giving to Lilepo. Yes, everyone misses chances, but efficiency matters. The difference between 92 minutes and 520 minutes is not small. It’s massive. The issue isn’t just missed chances. It’s decision-making. Lilepo shoots from low percentage areas, often ignoring teammates in better positions. I don't know how many times I've touched on this in previous games. Some misses are understandable, but others are just unnecessary. That’s what makes it costly. High shot volume with low conversion kills attacking rhythm. It kills the spirit of other players. Ends up giving the opposition confidence to claw their way back into games we should comfortably win. And here’s the bigger point. Players with better scoring frequency don’t get the same consistent minutes as Lilepo. They get judged with misses from 1 game. So, the attack remains blunt because inefficiency is being rewarded with game time. If a player averages a goal every 520 minutes, takes 28 shots per goal, and continues to start while more efficient players sit, then yes, benching him becomes a logical football decision. If Lilepo chose teammates in good positions with at least 50% of the 56 shots he wasted, the team would have had better odds in getting goals like we saw with his 2nd cross yesterday assisting our only goal. Because right now, his overall contribution suggests he’s not making the attack better. And when you need a goal, you prioritise efficiency, not just volume.

I woke up today excited. I’m outside of Poltava, and I feel amazing. My 50 km mark today is on the other side of Poltava, out of the city, which means Poltava is 100% doable. And I cannot explain how excited I am to see stores. To know that, for at least one day, I’ll have easy access to water. To know that every kilometer is taking me closer to Kharkiv Oblast, and closer to the end of this journey. We are now just $562 away from our $50,000 goal. That feels incredible. We’ve had a lot of losses over the course of this journey, and you are making it possible for us to replace some of that equipment. In the nonprofit world, we call this “earmarked” money. Every single dollar of that $50,000 already has a purpose. I have a list of equipment that needs to be replaced, things my soldiers need, and things we have lost along the way. And I have another list. A list of names that keeps growing while I walk this walk. The names of boys who didn’t get to see me finish this story. Boys who have now been added to the long list of soldiers I walk in honour of. That is the part of this journey that is much harder to put into words. Every kilometer brings me closer to the finish, but not everyone who was there when I started is still here to see me reach it. So I keep walking for them, too. Please keep helping my boys. And if you can’t donate, please like, comment, and share. It genuinely makes a difference. Poltava is only the beginning of this story. If you stay with me, there is so much more I need to show you. There are incredible moments ahead. There are heartbreaking ones too. There are people I want you to meet, places I need you to see, and stories that deserve to be told. We’re getting closer. Help me honour the ones who didn’t get to see the end. And please help me take care of my soldiers. #Support93 #SupportUkraine

👤: So, after finishing your music show promotions, how did it feel? 🦚: Oh, the generation gap is huge now. The age difference between us and the newer idols is basically like the gap between parents and their children, so it’s honestly very embarrassing. Even when they come over to greet us, we just awkwardly say, “Oh, hello! You’re the best, you’re the best!” and then run away. 👤: You’ve reached the age where you finally understand why your senior artists acted that way back then. 🦚: Exactly. There’s a girl group in our company called Hearts2Hearts, and one of the members, Ina, has a mother who’s the same age as us. 🐤: That’s right. Even if people called us fathers, it wouldn’t be strange anymore. 👤: There are a lot of moments like that these days, aren’t there? 🐤: Yeah, and the gap just keeps getting bigger. The parents of trainees nowadays were born in the ’90s. 👤: Oh my… that’s a big deal. 🐤: Coming here and talking about things like this… the aging of the entertainment industry really is a serious issue. 👤: And there’s no retirement or welfare system for it. 🐤: Exactly. I feel like Super Junior has raised the average age of idols quite a bit, so I’d like to sincerely apologize for that. 👤: It’s okay. You’re still doing great. 🦚: These days we get a lot of encouragement like, “Keep going! Stay strong!” 👤: It feels like everyone is cheering you on, saying, “Wow, they’re really working hard.” 🦚: Yeah, that’s exactly how they are. 👤: Do you still have fans who actively support you? 🐤: Oh, of course! 👤: Really? 🐤: They always say, “Don’t let our oppas get discouraged,” and they come to support us too. 👤: That’s truly precious. 🐤: It really is. Each one of those fans feels like a hundred people. We’re growing older together now. 🦚: Longtime fans are different. These days, fans use LED signs instead of handmade placards. So when we see people still holding handmade signs… 👤: They made them themselves! 🦚: That’s how you know they’re longtime fans, and they’re incredibly precious to Super Junior. 🐤: Actually, at our recent fansign, our fans are getting older too, so many of them aren’t familiar with buying tickets online. A lot of them told me, “Oppa, I couldn’t come because I didn’t know how to book the tickets.” 👤: So after being a veteran group for so long, you launched a brand new subunit and spent your first week promoting as rookies. How did that happen? 🐤: We had just finished our 20th anniversary concert tour, and for the encore concerts we wanted to do something different. We wanted to perform as subunits, but Heechul didn’t have one. He said, “Then I just won’t participate.” But I couldn’t let him sit out, so I told him, “Let’s do something together.” Then Shindong heard us and said, “Then you two should just form a unit together!” And that’s how our subunit was created. 👤: What was your relationship like? Were you always close? 🐤: No, we weren’t. 👤: Because you didn’t really understand each other back then? 🐤: As everyone knows from the “Great Incheon Incident” about ten years ago, we had a huge fight at Incheon Munhak Stadium. 👤: It was complete chaos! 🐤: It really was! But as we got older, we gradually started understanding each other better. 👤: Right, you probably don’t even have the energy to fight anymore. Did you enjoy working together as a duo? 🦚: I absolutely loved it! And Leeteuk gave me a lot of authority and freedom to lead. 👤: So who’s the leader of the unit? 🐤: Heechul. 🦒: Really?! 🦚: Yep, I’m the leader now. 🐤: Even for our appearance on The Seasons, Heechul personally arranged everything, contacted the program, and handled all the scheduling himself. 👤: Well, why wouldn’t he? He’s the best at those kinds of things. 🦚: That’s why I really wanted to appear on The Seasons. Since my older brother Si Kyung is the host here, I wanted to show him a brighter, more confident side of myself.

$ABCL CEO Carl Hansen explains the net negative overall value creation in biotech and how AbCellera plans to beat it: “I really think it can be beat because there’s a lot of mistakes that get made in where you allocate capital.” “If you’re a biotech and you start a company on a drug, and you go public and have a drug, and now the data is looking not that great, you just keep running that drug. … Because if you quit that drug, the company is done.” “So, because you’re so concentrated on one thing, you end up having blinders. It’s like a cult of a molecule. And even a real, practical, capital access problem that makes you continue to move things forward” ______________________________________ “Another problem is that many of the drugs that get started, get started by people who don’t understand the competitive or commercial landscape and have no intent of ever actually manufacturing it. … Because they know someone else is going to buy it. So then their framework is not ‘Am I making a drug that’s going to make a difference for people?’ The framework is ‘Can I make something that I think someone will take off my hands?’ And that happens a lot.” “There are many acquisitions where a big pharma company spends $10B, $20B, and it’s a complete bust. So really no value is generated for patients but someone was able to get a good exit on that because they anticipated what someone would want. And a lot of decision making gets done like that”. _______________________________________ “I’m not saying that we have this all solved. But what we’re trying to do is create a framework where we are able to take many bets so that we don’t fall in love with anything, or we don’t have to fall in love with anything. … And then always hold up very explicitly what we know and what we don’t know along the dimensions that matter. The dimensions that matter are - Will it work? That’s a science. - When it gets where will people care? - Is it differentiated? - Does it solve a big problem? In order to get it there, is there a path with our resources and expertise that would allow us to see it through?” “When you start to hold things up like that, you start to see where the mistakes are, where the uncertainties are, and you can be more rational in deciding ‘We’re going to run it to here because we get to flip the card and if the card goes the wrong way we’re going to kill it because we’ve got something else behind it.’” “I do think that if done right, and if you can pick the right opportunities, the success rate can be well higher than an order of magnitude better. … And there are examples of this… companies I’ve mentioned, you know, Regeneron, their success rate is at least 10x the industry in bringing programs forward and getting them approved. … So it’s… you can do it better that way”

choi hyunsuk 2026 september photo diary 📸 #최현석 🦔 hi! this is treasure’s choi hyunsuk! 🦔 chuseok has already passed and there’s not much left in 2026. today, so today, through the september photo diary, i will share my daily photo and the behind the scene story the comes with it to teumes! 🦔 the photo i would like to show teumes is none other than these 7 shirts right here! there are probably lots of you who have seen this already. all 7 of these are tshirts that i made. i think i started working on them around august, and they’re kind of like clothes that i wear on normal days! you know how i used the world ‘SLAY’ a lot ever since [NEW WAV] album promotions, right!? so i tried to make various things based on ‘SLAY’ and ‘7CHILL’! it has lots of bits of all of the brands or artist MD that i like. for example, for artists, there’s playboi carti, nine vicious, homixide gang, etc. and then there are also brands like hba, vlone, and things like old givenchy archive. and just like ken carson and destroy lonely, who made logos inspired by those older heavy metal band logos, i also took some inspiration and made mine as well! i kind of just made a variety of them as i intended to wear them for daily use, so i made a lot of them this time! 🦔 another episode on these clothes is that, these days, i always make sure that the length of my longsleeves, sleeveless or shortsleeves is at 55cm, you know!? i did all of those that way too! 🦔 i had fun putting in all sorts of things that i like in it so im quite attached, but among these, my favourite is ‘7CHILL MADE TO SLAY’! but tbh the most famous one among them right now is the ‘20267CHILL’. i went to BIGBANG sunbaenim’s concert wearing that one not so long ago, and the video of me playing so hard that time got so much attention so i think i got a bit more attached to that tshirt these days. 🦔 i actually have been wanting to show these to you, but just as the word suggests, they’re just daily regular clothes so i didn’t feel like i necessarily should go like “wahh i made these!~” but i just took this opportunity right now to show it to our teumes. being able to talk like this even if it was short, about me designing clothes or about fashion was really fun! 🦔 looking at 2026, there’s not much left to it isn’t it? there’s only a bit much left. i hope treasure and teumes can wrap up this year with a very ‘MADE TO SLAY’ year just like these tshirts. 🦔 let’s keep running really coolly until the end! bye 👋🏼

Yesterday, a Polish-American-Russian-Moldovan-Belarusian prisoner exchange took place - an analysis by Ukrainian expert Vadym Denysenko. "In this exchange, the US and Russia have diametrically opposed goals. But Moscow appears to have made concessions to Washington, guided by the main principle of communicating with Trump: don't quarrel and stall for time. 1. Formally, this is a 5-for-5 exchange involving seven countries. But when it comes to the key figures, there is one "main" figure for the Poles and two for Moscow. 2. The exchange of the Polish-Belarusian activist Poczobut for the Russian archaeologist Butyagin, who was conducting excavations in Crimea, and for the high-ranking Moldovan security official Bălan, who was spying for Russia, is a complex combination that was pulled off primarily thanks to the US efforts. The Poles are already thanking the Americans. But this exchange would have been impossible without the Russians, who in this particular case have goals directly opposed to those of the Americans. 3. The US goal, aside from a humanitarian one, appears to be a continuation of its idea to enter the Belarusian potash market (which Moscow categorically opposes). Belarus can export fertilizers only through four countries: Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, and Poland. It appears the US is beginning a game to unblock the Polish border, and in the future, possibly the Lithuanian border as well. I emphasize, they are beginning a game. Because neither Washington, nor Warsaw, nor Vilnius has much trust in Lukashenko. And before attempting to play a more serious game, they are trying a small victories tactic. 4. Moscow fully understands the US strategy and therefore agreed to this game, securing two symbolic victories in return: Bălan and Butyagin. The Poles also got what they wanted: Poczobut was personally met by Tusk. At the same time, the Russians are making sure that the potash negotiations do not go beyond the exchange of political prisoners and do not shift to the economic dimension without their knowledge. 5. As for Lukashenko, he simply could not refuse this exchange under pressure from Moscow and Washington. However, all of Lukashenko's previous actions show that he fears a rapprochement with Trump and believes he needs to stall as much as possible and make steps toward rapprochement with Washington more complicated (flirtation with North Korea is a vivid example of this). 6. Simply put, Lukashenko fears Putin more than Trump, and so he will try to stall for as long as possible to keep Americans out of his potash market. He will agree to this only when it becomes part of Russia's game as well. And this could happen when (or rather, if) Russia and Washington expand the scope of negotiations to include Belarus as well. 7. Many people here have started saying that this exchange is virtually a defeat for Ukraine. That is definitely not the case. Ukraine has neither won nor lost anything here. We are just observers. Should we already be getting worked up over this exchange and the game the US is playing in general? For now, definitely not. We are still a long way from the Polish border being reopened. But the game has already begun. And we need to clearly define for ourselves where our place is in this future game, especially given that the Belarusian factor could come into play in the Ukraine-Russia-US negotiations."

The Fastest Growing Quant Repo On GitHub: Build Your Own Army Of Autonomous AI Trading Agents getting your hands on the fastest growing trading repository on github is like finding the keys to a vault that never stops printing. most people think they need a math degree to build these things but i am going to show you how a kid from a bedroom can build an empire of autonomous agents the repo was private for months while i perfected the internal logic and now it is back for anyone who wants to stop getting liquidated. you have to wonder why someone would give away the exact code that runs their entire trading business for free but the answer is simpler than you might think i believe code is the great equalizer and if we all have the tools we can finally beat the institutions at their own game. once you realize that the institutions are just using better code than you then the path forward becomes very clear the core of this system is an army of specialized ai agents that handle every single aspect of a professional trading desk. we have a strategy agent that executes the main logic while the risk agent sits over its shoulder to make sure you never lose more than you planned most traders think one bot is enough but the real secret to 2026 trading is having an entire team of ai agents that talk to each other. what happens when your sentiment agent sees a crash coming but your strategy agent is still trying to go long is where most people get wrecked that is exactly where the focus agent and the compliance agent come in to keep the whole system from blowing up your account. by separating these duties into different files you create a system that is robust enough to handle the wildest market conditions imaginable i have been testing every major model from claude to deepseek to see which one actually understands the nuances of the crypto markets. grock is the newest addition to the models folder because the performance we are seeing is finally starting to match the hype you might be wondering how you can possibly manage all these files if you have never written a line of python in your life. there is a specific way to use these models that allows you to vibe code your way to a functional trading desk without a computer science degree if you can copy a folder structure and follow a basic readme then you already have everything you need to start building. the barrier to entry has officially been destroyed by ai and now the only thing left is your willingness to iterate everything lives inside the src folder because organization is the difference between a bot that prints and a bot that crashes. the models folder is where we swap out the brains of the operation whenever a newer and faster llm hits the market to keep us ahead of the curve there is a hidden danger in just copying code without understanding the underlying risk agent logic. if you do not understand how the base agent connects to the exchange then you are just one api error away from a zero balance or a failed execution checking the env example and setting up your keys correctly is the first step to making sure your agents actually have the power to execute. this setup phase is the foundation that everything else is built upon so you cannot afford to be lazy here we have specific agents for every niche including whale watching and sentiment analysis to give you an edge that manual traders can never have. the listing arbitrage agent and the funding agent are there to capture those small inefficiencies that add up over time these agents are not just pieces of code they are employees that never sleep and never let their emotions get in the way of a trade. i spent hundreds of thousands on developers before i realized i could just build these systems myself with the help of ai code is the only thing that does not panic when the market starts dropping or get greedy when things are going up. once you automate your first strategy and see it execute without you being there you will finally understand what true freedom looks like i challenge you to pull this code and start building your own agents because the infrastructure is already there for you to use. you do not need to be a pro coder to start but you do need to be a builder who is ready to ship and iterate every single day the world is changing fast and the people who embrace autonomous trading agents are the ones who will be left standing when the dust settles. i will keep updating the github and shipping new features because the mission is to make sure every trader has the chance to automate their success if you want to join this revolution then go ahead and star the repo so you can follow along as we build out the future of finance. we are just getting started and the agents are only going to get smarter and more efficient from here on out

Our first reactor? Sean Hunt and I built it from Home Depot parts in three weeks. Rented a lab behind Dallas Love Field, had to rip out the ceiling panels to fit it. That machine started a multibillion-dollar company. People keep trying to throw it away. It still works. A year earlier I was 26, doing my MD/PhD, studying how pancreatic cancer hides from the immune system using chemistry. The mechanism? Cancer cells were producing hydrogen peroxide to blind immune cells. But the enzyme doing it? It was more efficient than anything in industrial chemistry. Cancer was outperforming a $6 trillion industry. A few months later, I was at a poker game in med school. Got seated next to Sean, an MIT chemical engineering PhD. He was studying hydrogen peroxide production at massive industrial scales. I told him his approach was techno-economically insane. Traditional chemical engineering: heat, pressure, heterogeneous catalysis. The whole industry operates at 20% yield and considers that acceptable. I'd just watched cancer cells hit 90%+. I was a cancer biologist. He was a chemical engineer. What if we married our two worlds? Six months later we pitched enzyme-based chemical production at MIT's 100K. We lost, taking second place for $10,000. I thought: "Either this works or I go be a doctor." So we drove Sean's Subaru to Home Depot and bought the biggest PVC pipe that we could find. They cut it so it would fit in the trunk. Three weeks later we had a leaking prototype, held together with zip ties, producing chemicals at 4x the industry average yield. That prototype made us the peroxide kings of Dallas. Two float spa owners saw our MIT pitch and shared it in their Facebook group. Suddenly we were supplying an entire niche we didn't know existed. We spent the next months driving around Houston, hand-delivering product. Made $10,000 a month from that PVC reactor. We had profitably miniaturized the chemicals industry. Same thing Nucor did for steel: decentralized production. That was 2016. Today: - Bioforges in Houston, Texas - Shipped 150M lbs of chemicals last year - DoD contracts for critical chemical precursors - Shipping container reactors deploying internationally - DOE Loan Programs Office funding (same program that backed Tesla) - Almost $1 billion raised from Founders Fund, Blackrock, Temasek, GIC, Baillie Gifford People have no idea how huge the chemical industry is. One of our customers: An 80-person water treatment company in rural America, quietly doing $250M annual revenue, with $150M spent just on chemicals. And there are thousands more like them. This is why it's a $6T market. And the supply chains are fragile. America has zero domestic TNT production until 2028. We import dozens of critical chemicals needed for semiconductor manufacturing. COVID and tariffs made it obvious: We don't make the chemicals we need to make the things we need. Much is learned in the making of things. You can read all the papers, draft business plans, theorize. But you don't know if it works until you're tearing out ceiling panels to fit a reactor and hand-delivering product to float spas at 6 AM. The gap between theoretically possible and actually manufacturable is where companies live or die. I keep finding that the hardest problems in one industry have already been solved in another, or by nature. Cancer biology solved industrial chemistry for us. Nucor proved the business model. Materials science is what unlocks Kardashev. Energy abundance needs materials breakthroughs. Defense needs domestic supply chains. AI scaling needs physical infrastructure. Physical bottlenecks determine whether we can actually build the future we're betting on. It all comes back to atoms. Here I share what I learn: the cross-industry connections, the weird market dynamics, the supply chain vulnerabilities nobody's talking about, and the (sometimes) boring technology that makes it happen. If you're building in the world of atoms, I want to hear from you. You can just do things.

🚨🛸👽 Alien Craft and Bodies - How Confident? 👽🛸🚨 "Confidence is high. Repeat: confidence is high." ~The Sherminator Grusch/Kelly Part 1 - Video and Transcript "As somebody who was in very high positions of trust over the years, I can assure you that that...the U.S. government has engaged in a crash retrieval and reverse engineering operation of non-human crafts and recovering the biologics as well. I take that assessment very seriously" ~Grusch (I'll do my best to finish all three parts tonight) ~ Biggest Takeaway How did Grusch see evidence of alleged non-human craft and bodies and how confident is he that this is legit? Grusch: "I came in as a skeptical eye, having briefed to a lot of U.S. programs. And I was thinking, oh, I'll figure out what this is. This might be some kind of U.S. program, some prosaic natural phenomenon, some kind of adversarial program, some strategic technical surprise. "Eventually, as I started pulsing my networks, digging into archives where, we'll just say, certain programs forgot to fully clean out safe drawers, and finding both audio-visual documentation. And then interviewing over 40 people all the way up to, I'll just say, the cabinet level over the course of four years. So a combination of oral testimony, audio-visual evidence and documentation. I became convinced, at a high-confidence level that the U.S. has engaged in a crash retrieval and reverse engineering operation of - like the trailer you just played, said - non-human crafts and recovering, you know, the biologics as well. "And I say high-confidence, as somebody who's written assessments for the President of the United States. I take that assessment very seriously, and that confidence level very seriously. But as somebody who was in very high positions of trust over the years, I can assure you that that is an accurate statement. That the U.S. government, its private partners, allies and adversaries, do have programs, doing this exact thing." ~~~ Megyn Kelly: "It's the age-old question that has fascinated humans for centuries and continues to: are we alone in the universe, or even on our own planet? My next guest says, not only are UFOs - or now they're called UAPs - Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. That's hard to remember, but UAPs - real, but the government has allegedly been aware of them for decades and running a disinformation campaign to make you feel like an idiot if you believe reports about them. "David Grusch is a former US Air Force Intelligence Officer and senior intelligence official. He was his agency's co-lead in UAP investigation and quote 'transmedium object analysis' and was reporting to the Pentagon's UAP Task Force as well. In 2023, Grusch filed a whistleblower complaint asserting that the United States has been operating a quote, 'multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program,' meaning we're taking what we find - vehicles - and trying to figure out how they operated. And that Congress has been kept in the dark about large portions of the program. He later testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee, drawing national attention when he made this claim here. Watch." ~Video from the 2023 Oversight Committee Hearing~ Rep. Nancy Mace: "If you believe we have crashed craft, stated earlier, do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft?" David Grusch: "As I've stated publicly already in my NewsNation interview, biologics came with some of these recoveries, yeah." Mace: "Were they, I guess, human or non-human biologics?" Grusch: "Non-human, and that was the assessment of people with direct knowledge on the program I talked to that are currently still on the program." ~ Kelly: "So, he's alleging that we have crafts and we have non-human biologics from those crafts, and that the American people are being kept in the dark about it. And he is not alone. He is not alone. Now, Pentagon officials have publicly denied that there's any verified evidence of non-human intelligence or secret programs of this kind. They've been denying it for 80 years. But now, a new documentary called 'The Age of Disclosure' is taking center stage. It's extraordinary, examining decades of this alleged secrecy, and they have everyone in this film. "The film features interviews with 34 former and current government officials, including Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and Representative Anna Paulina Luna, who claim the U.S. has long been concealing evidence of non-human intelligence and UAPs. Here's a part of the trailer." Begin Excerpt from "The Age of Disclosure" Tim Gallaudet: "Humanity is not the only intelligence in the Universe." Dr. Eric Davis: "Humanity is not the only intelligent species." Brett Feddersen: "We are absolutely not alone." Karl Nell: "Non-human intelligence exists." Jim Semivan: "UAPs are real ,they're here, and they're not human." Jay Stratton: "I have seen with my own eyes, non-human craft and non-human beings." Senator Mike Rounds: "This is so secret, very, very few people in our entire government have been allowed access to it." Secretary Marco Rubio: "Even presidents have been operating on a need-to-know basis, but that begins to ramp out of control." Kirsten Gillibrand: "It's not acceptable to have secret parts of government that no one ever sees." Rep. Tim Burchett Press Office: "You better be careful about a government that doesn't trust its people, because there's no telling what they'll pull on ya." ~End AoD Excerpt~ Kelly: "It's extraordinary. Let's get into it. David joins me now. David, thank you so much for your service and for being here." Grusch: "Thanks. Mellon. Um, excuse me (laughs). Thanks, Megan. Thank you for having me on." Kelly: "(laughs) No worries. This is like a crazy story and a stunning story and disturbing. And I have to tell you, I've always been sort of open minded to this issue, but more skeptical. And I my skepticism is gone, having watched 'The Age of Disclosure.'" (Until we hear from a firsthand witness who says they worked hands-on what they feel was a non-human craft, in the alleged Legacy crash retrieval and reverse engineering program, I think it's smart to retain some skepticism.) Kelly: "['The Age of Disclosure' is] incredibly well done, and they've got everybody. I mean, all of the like, astrophysicists and extremely-well-educated, and accomplished, scientists - who have been investigating this from the start. Well, not the start, because it was 80 years ago, but in recent decades - on camera, on the record, saying as much as they can. "And the director of the film (Dan Farah) has been making the rounds saying, the only reason he was able to get so many people to participate is because they felt there was safety in numbers and that they couldn't either fire everyone, or worse. Because a lot of these guys, these are distinguished guys, served in the Air Force like yourself, or served at the Pentagon, served all over the armed forces. A lot of these guys are actually worried not just about their careers getting killed, but about them themselves getting killed. I mean, set it up for us on the stakes of the number of people who went on camera and actually started saying as much as they could without violating classified restrictions." Grusch: "Certainly, that's a real fear, and we can certainly get into that. 'Age of Disclosure' was, you know, a project I didn't fully participate in, however, I do applaud the effort in these individuals for at least coming forward and speaking. And like you, I was a very skeptical person. I was certainly open to the topic. I was interested in space and science in a very precocious way, as a child. I ended up studying physics and the Air Force gave me a full-ride scholarship. And I was always, obviously, open to the topic, but I was in positions of high trust in the government at the most extreme levels, having walked the halls of the West Wing, personally handled the presidential daily intelligence brief and had some of the same broad accesses that the President and his cabinet has had over the years, even as a young man across multiple administrations "I figured - when I was eventually brought into this topic, working for the UAP Task Force - oh, I would know this exists. Somebody would have slipped and said something to me. At the time, I was briefed to over 90% out of all black programs in the Department of Defense and also the Intelligence Community, and I had an arrogant opinion of the topic. I was certainly open to the idea, but I figured I haven't seen any evidence and I would have been briefed into those kind of things, because I had a need-to-know at the time. So I came into it very similar to you, but open minded." Kelly: "And then, what specifically were you assigned to where you started to see actual evidence that we've been researching this for 80 years, that we do have crafts recovered, that we have, quote, 'biologics' recovered, which include some sort of other being. And what was your reaction when you started to learn this?" Grusch: "Yeah, I was very skeptical. I was in my military capacity, I had a parallel-civilian-intelligence career as well. But in my military-reserve capacity, I was the backup Intelligence Director for the National Reconnaissance Offices operation center. I briefed the NRO director. That's where I handled the PDB" Kelly: "Presidential Daily Brief." Grusch: "And I handled, essentially, all sensitive activities and all that stuff. And so, the UAP Task Force was looking for a representative from that organization. I came in as a skeptical eye, having briefed to a lot of U.S. programs. And I was thinking, oh, I'll figure out what this is. This might be some kind of U.S. program, some prosaic natural phenomenon, some kind of adversarial program, some strategic technical surprise. "But eventually, as I started pulsing my networks, digging into archives where, we'll just say, certain programs forgot to fully clean out safe drawers, and finding both audio visual documentation. And then interviewing over 40 people all the way up to, I'll just say, the cabinet level over the course of four years. So a combination of oral testimony, audio-visual evidence and documentation. I became convinced, at a high-confidence level that the U.S. has engaged in a crash retrieval and reverse engineering operation of - like the trailer you just played, said - non-human crafts and recovering, you know, the biologics as well. "And I say high-confidence, as somebody who's written assessments for the President of the United States. I take that assessment very seriously, and that confidence level very seriously. But as somebody who was in very high positions of trust over the years, I can assure you that that is an accurate statement. That the U.S. government, its private partners, allies and adversaries, do have programs, doing this exact thing." Kelly: "Many in our audience may know you, David, you've been kind of really celebrated [by] people for coming out as a whistleblower and calling attention the fact that our government's been hiding this from us. And even when told to disclose what they know to investigators and to the public or to the oversight seers they haven't. There's a deeper program called The Legacy program that has really...seems to have been trying to hide the most shocking pieces of what we know from even the UAP Task Force."

CLARITY Act Intel 🚨 Don't let a 76-Day Political Fight SHAKE you out of a 250-YEAR FINANCIAL SHIFT $XRP, $XLM, $HBAR, and other American-made digital asset investors, listen closely to Congressman Bryan Steil, Chair of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Digital Assets. This is the part of the CLARITY Act conversation I think people are missing. Everyone is staring at one vote. Bryan Steil is talking about the financial system that is being built underneath it. That is a completely different time horizon. The headlines right now are naturally focused on whether CLARITY can move through the Senate. September 15 matters. The Senate procedural vote matters. The political negotiations matter. But Steil’s bigger argument is that people are making a mistake if they assume: “If Washington struggles with CLARITY today, blockchain finance somehow stops tomorrow.” It does not. That is what caught me. He is looking at this as a technology transition, not a weekly trading narrative. The political fight is temporary. The infrastructure being built is not. And that is exactly why I keep coming back to $XRP, $XLM and $HBAR. Not because Congress created some official “Made in America” basket. It did not. The stronger fact is that all three already have deep U.S. roots, all three are being built around actual financial infrastructure, and all three are already explicitly named in the current U.S. digital-commodity framework. That changes how I look at this entire moment. For years the question around crypto in America was: Will regulators even allow this industry to exist? Now the conversation is turning into: How do we bring this technology into the financial system? That is a massive difference. And Steil’s word for it is perfect: plumbing. People hear “financial plumbing” and think it sounds boring. I hear it and think: That is where the real money eventually moves. Clearing is plumbing. Settlement is plumbing. Collateral is plumbing. Liquidity is plumbing. Custody is plumbing. Bank deposits are plumbing. Tokenization is plumbing. FX is plumbing. Prime brokerage is plumbing. The consumer sees the payment. The institution sees the infrastructure underneath. And that is exactly where these networks are starting to show up. Take $XRP. Ripple in 2026 is not simply trying to convince a bank to send one payment using XRP. Look at the stack being assembled: payments, RLUSD, custody, treasury, prime brokerage, liquidity, tokenization, credit. That is financial infrastructure. Ripple Prime clears more than $3 trillion annually across markets and serves 300+ institutional customers. That is not a retail crypto app. That is institutional machinery. Ripple Prime touches digital assets, FX, fixed-income repo, exchange-traded derivatives and OTC swaps. Then Ripple raised $275 million in investment-grade senior notes to expand its U.S. operation. That tells me Ripple is building for the part of finance institutions actually depend on. And XRP is not sitting outside that strategy. Ripple’s institutional roadmap puts XRP across payments, liquidity and credit markets. That bridge-liquidity role is what I keep coming back to. Because imagine where finance is heading. -RLUSD. -Other dollar stablecoins. -Euro stablecoins. -Peso stablecoins. -Tokenized bank deposits. -Tokenized funds. -Government debt. -Private credit. Different digital forms of money. More assets do not remove the liquidity problem. They multiply it. Someone still has to connect all those pools of value. XRPL can route between tokenized assets. And when XRP provides the better liquidity path, XRP can become the intermediary. Think about the difference between that and retail speculation. A company does not need to wake up and say: “We are bullish on XRP today.” Its software can simply determine: USD token → XRP → MXN token is the better route. The company receives what it wants. The recipient receives what they want. XRP was used because the infrastructure chose it. That is a much more powerful long-term thesis to me. Then you have RLUSD, with approximately $2.396 billion circulating against about $2.518 billion in reserves in the context you provided. Stable digital dollars on one side. Native bridge liquidity through XRP on the other. That is not XRP being replaced. That is the XRP ecosystem becoming more complete. Now move to $XLM. Stellar may be the easiest example of what Steil means by invisible plumbing. The average person does not care which network their bank is using. They care that the money gets there. The institution cares that the system is fast, compliant and integrated with existing operations. And that is already happening. U.S. Bank completed a cross-border pilot using its own USBDC stablecoin on Stellar between North America and Europe. Read that again. A U.S. bank. Its own dollar-backed digital money. Moving across Stellar. And it was not separated from the bank’s existing infrastructure. The pilot connected into finance, risk, compliance and operations. It tested minting. -Payment. -Redemption. -Freezing. -Clawback. Then U.S. Bank and the Stellar Development Foundation started evaluating liquidity management, collateral mobility and cross-border treasury applications. That is the financial plumbing Steil is talking about. It is already being installed. And if Washington needs longer to finish a bill, U.S. Bank does not suddenly forget what it just tested. The technology does not disappear. The institutional learning does not disappear. The infrastructure work does not disappear. Then add DTCC. DTCC oversees more than $114 trillion across U.S. capital markets under the figures in the context. DTC’s Tokenization Service plans to connect eligible DTC-custodied assets with Stellar beginning in the first half of 2027. That means the future can look much less like: “crypto replaces Wall Street” and much more like: Wall Street starts using blockchain underneath parts of its existing machinery. That distinction matters enormously. Treasuries do not need to stop being Treasuries. Funds do not need to stop being funds. Banks do not need to stop being banks. The rails can change underneath them. And XLM remains native to Stellar. Transaction fees use XLM. Account reserves use XLM. Ledger state uses XLM. Smart-contract resources use XLM. The user may never see any of that. They see dollars. A fund. A transfer. A bank account. The network sees Stellar. That is what real infrastructure adoption looks like. Then look at $HBAR. Hedera’s story is different again, but it fits Steil’s argument almost perfectly. Wyoming’s FRNT stable token is live on Hedera. A U.S. state is already using public blockchain infrastructure for digital money. That does not vanish because Congress has a difficult week. Then you have Archax, putting institutional assets on Hedera. Real-time streaming cash flows for tokenized securities. USDC distributions directly to investor wallets. More than 100 tokenized assets and $300M+ in tokenized value in the Hedera case study cited in the context. Then RedSwan. More than $5 billion in tokenized commercial real estate according to Hedera’s case study. And RedSwan helped develop Hedera’s Asset Tokenization Studio. Again, this is not a promise that one day Hedera may find a real-world use case. The infrastructure is already serving government digital money, tokenized securities, real estate and institutional settlement. Then Hedera built the software around it. Stablecoin Studio for regulated digital money. Asset Tokenization Studio for compliant securities. HashSphere for institutions that need private environments while maintaining connectivity toward the broader Hedera ecosystem. And HBAR has a direct role underneath the public network. Every public Hedera service uses HBAR-denominated fees. HBAR also helps secure consensus through proof of stake. So the HBAR thesis is not: “$5B of property means $5B of HBAR gets bought.” The better thesis is: more assets, more issuers, more transfers, more settlement, more compliance operations, more data, more financial activity, more network usage, with HBAR underneath the public network. That is infrastructure. Now put all three together. $XRP. $XLM. $HBAR. Different architectures. Different institutions. Different strengths. But the direction overlaps. Payments. Stablecoins. Tokenized assets. Bank money. FX. Settlement. Institutional liquidity. And all three are already named as digital commodities under the current U.S. framework. That is why I refuse to think about this market only through the lens of one CLARITY vote. September 15 can absolutely matter to market sentiment. But Steil is giving investors a much more valuable way to think. Zoom out. America is deciding whether it wants to lead the technology transition under clear rules. It is not deciding whether the technology gets invented. That horse has already left the barn. The White House has already directed regulators toward integrating digital assets and innovative technology into traditional financial services and payments. Banks are already experimenting. Tokenized securities already exist. Government digital money already exists. Institutional prime brokerage already exists. Stablecoins are already measured in billions. Real estate is already being tokenized. DTCC is already preparing blockchain connectivity. That is why I think the biggest mistake people can make here is confusing: political delay with technological reversal. They are not the same thing. And this is where I think people holding $XRP, $XLM and $HBAR have to know exactly what they own. You are not simply betting on the Senate liking crypto next week. You are looking at networks and ecosystems already being positioned inside a financial system that is becoming increasingly digital. If CLARITY moves quickly, that can accelerate the transition. If Washington takes longer, the infrastructure does not go back into the box. It keeps developing. That is essentially Steil’s point. This is bigger than one election. Bigger than one bill. Bigger than one market candle. The United States is looking at what its financial system could become over the next generation. Bryan Steil literally framed this around 250 years of American financial innovation. That is the time horizon I want to remember when the timeline gets noisy. Because while everyone argues about the next few days: Ripple is building institutional liquidity infrastructure. Stellar is connecting bank money and traditional securities. Hedera is connecting government digital money and regulated tokenized assets. And the federal government already recognizes XRP, XLM and HBAR as digital commodities. That is why my long-term conviction does not disappear because Washington gets messy. The political fight is temporary. The financial rails are already being laid. If those rails eventually carry the next generation of global money, I want exposure to the assets sitting underneath them before that future becomes obvious to everyone. The financial rails are being rebuilt right in front of us. Who else sees it?

✨ I spent the last 48 hours making GPT-4 read the entire Solana validator codebase and write documentation, so doesn't have to. Introducing — an AI-powered chatbot trained on nothing but code that can answer deep technical questions. How it works 👇 But first... A huge shoutout to , Zahid Khawaja, and Sean. Their hard work made prototyping this thing a breeze. Without further ado... Devs like to write code, not documentation. Tribal knowledge is lost when devs move on to other projects, leaving future devs to sort through mountains of code and figure out not just how it works, but why it works that way. This is all about to change. GPT-4's ability to write code is stunning. It seems to understand something fundamental about writing software that previous models just didn't. This comprehension of the principles that drive the design behind a complex system carries over into its ability to document existing codebases in a truly impressive way. With the enlarged context window(s), it's now feasible to feed GPT-4 entire files of code and ask it to write documentation about how the code works. Taking this as a starting point, the process looks something like this: 1. Download repo. 2. Depth-first traversal of repo contents, ignoring things like package-lock and binary files. 3. For each file, feed to GPT-4 and ask it to write documentation in markdown. 4. Save the output in a separate location as [outputRoot]/[inputFilepath][inputFilename].md 5. For each folder, we ask GPT-4 to write a summary of the folder, taking the newly generated documentation for all files in the folder and the summaries from each of its subfolders as context. Write this to the filesystem as markdown. Now we have a filesystem that matches the structure of the input repo, but all files in the tree are markdown documentation of the corresponding code file. From here, we: 1. Load markdown documents into LangChain. 2. Embed all documents via OpenAI embeddings. 3. Store embeddings in Pinecone. When a user sends a query: 1. Embed query. 2. Find k-nearest markdown files. 3. Feed to GPT-4 with a prompt asking to answer the query based on k-nearest markdown documents provided. The craziest part of all this? GPT-4 actually wrote ~30% of the code. The results are pretty good for 2 days of work. There is certainly room for improvement. Some items that are top of mind: 1. TolyGPT will occasionally hallucinate answers. It is especially bad with links to external sources, like GitHub. The base model seems to know a bit about Solana already, and sometimes this creeps in. Fine-tuning the prompt can solve some of this. 2. Context selection is difficult in a codebase this large. For example, sometimes it will pull in details about the Solana SDK when asked about transaction processing. The SDK files can seem relevant depending on the phrasing of the question. It may be worth breaking the documentation into subsystems to limit this. 3. Not all files fit into the 32k token window. As of now, there are 23 (out of ~1,100) files that cannot be documented in their entirety. Some of these files are very important to how Solana works. Final thoughts: 1. GPT-4 is super powerful, and we're going to see a ton of tools that supercharge the entire software development lifecycle. This is not 12 months away. For the people that can afford it, these tools are here now. And they're only getting better. Act accordingly. 2. The price of inference has to come down for this to go mainstream. I spent about $300 prototyping this project, and the final crawl cost about the same. The high cost of GPT-4 will push developers to other, cheaper alternatives with similar performance. This is coming very soon. If you have a large software project and you're interested in something like this for your codebase, fill out this form and we'll be in touch this week. Or just DM me :)
