The AI shake-out is coming. Which AI unicorns do you think will make it and which ones you think will collapse when the bubble bursts. I say Anthropic survives, CoreWeave dies, OpenAI mortally and morally wounded, Nvidia bounces back. But there will be a lot of pain before we know. Thoughts?

Here's how you know we're in a bubble: at a tech conference flash poll in San Francisco, tech bros ranked AI unicorns Perplexity and OpenAI as most likely to collapse. Yet they bet on them anyway. They're investing in a shared belief, ignoring math. When belief breaks, everything breaks.

Big tech keeps announcing circular AI deals to distract us from what's really happening: major players with real information are cashing out. Peter Thiel dumped $100M in Nvidia. Michael Burry, who called 2008, is shorting it. If you're still holding heavy AI, cash out now. The bubble will pop.

These women are so righteous and brave. Completely unafraid of Trump. Inspiring...

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: "To the President of the United States of America, I want to send a clear message to you…I can't help to be skeptical of what [your] agenda is…I am traumatized. I am not stupid. You have put us through so much stress…It's not right."

Journalists will salivated at the celebrity names in the Epstein files. But remember Virginia Roberts Giuffre killed herself. Hundreds of women still carrying trauma. The story isn't the scandal. It's the years of silence and cover up. Don't gloat or gossip. Rejoice in justice served.

I misjudged Marjorie Taylor Greene. She demanded the Epstein files release while Trump resisted. Is it payback? Probably. Post-MAGA opportunism? Likely. But also seeking justice for sexual abuse. I don't need purity to respect when someone does the right thing. It's reevaluation but not admiration.

Everyone's bracing for the Epstein files to be a partisan weapon. It won't be. The predation was bipartisan. The protection systems were bipartisan. The wealth that enabled it didn't check party registration. We need accountability that's about power and abuse, not red team versus blue team.

Most Americans looking for work or paying bills already know we're in a recession. It's the financial press and the billionaires they worship that mask this. Markets are wobbling and when that reality becomes undeniable tnex year, the recession will be the ONLY issue in 2026 that matters.

The 2026 midterm strategy should be clear: recruit candidates like Spanberger and Sherrill who run on kitchen table issues and economic justice. Candidates like this will win purple districts because they focus on haves versus have-nots, not purity litmus tests. That's how to take back the House.

This month's election results have me optimistic about 2026 midterms. I want to support organizations laser-focused on winnable swing districts where economic populists can prevail. What groups are doing the most effective work in competitive races right now? Share in the comments or repost.

The smart money is already heading for exits. 54% of global fund managers say AI stocks are bubbles. Michael Burry, the guy who predicted the 2008 crash is shorting AI stocks. In the next few months, a fraction of companies will survive. But most of Silicon Valley is pure hype right now.

What's Altman actually selling with those infrastructure deals? Sora 2 - a tool that wastes electricity and water to create viral garbage and synthetic porn. This is the "revolutionary AI" he's embedding into the American economy. It's fraud on an industrial scale.

Keep watch: Talent exodus at OpenAI while Altman makes massive bets. $1.4 trillion in infrastructure deals. $20 billion in actual revenue. This isn't confidence in a product - it's a race to become too embedded in the economy to let it collapse. When it does, our economy goes down with it.

AI could be about curing disease and new forms of energy. Instead Silicon Valley is giving us tools that generate suicidal ideation, text smut, artificial porn, and Sora 2 videos that waste water and heat the planet. When this bubble pops, people will remember which side that each company was on.

Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft, AMD, Oracle - the AI darlings are all bleeding this week. Silicon Valley created a religion that eliminating human workers was somehow virtuous. The cultural backlash will be bigger than the financial one. So buckle up for 2026. The reckoning is upon us.

On paper, nothing could be further apart than Zohran Mamdani and Abigail Spanberger. But they both won because they understand the Democrats future isn’t moving left OR right - it’s moving left AND right. Reestablishing the big tent the only way out. Tuesday may just be the beginning.

It’s no mystery why energy was the fault line in Virginia. Spanberger won because voters are done giving AI companies carte blanche to build data centers while average Virginians watch their energy costs spike. This is what pushing back on AI economics looks like at the ballot box.

Billy Joel’s Glass Houses is the first LP I ever bought age 10. As a pianist myself, he had profound impact on what I know about music, melody, theory, bravado and activism. Quite simply, BJ is a legend. His catalogue is one for the ages. #BillyJoel

BREAKING: Billy Joel cancels his upcoming concerts after being diagnosed with a brain disorder.

Rest in peace, Gerry Connolly, who faithfully served his constituents and my family for our two decades in Northern Virginia. A man of the people, by the people, for the people. #RIP

(2/2) I told him I like South Americans and everyone because we are a nation of immigrants. My family is from Ireland, Mexico and Africa. I told him high school sucks, keep studying because opportunity awaits him. I said right now America is dark now but it always finds the light. He left smiling.

(1/2) On my moonlighting Uber shift last night, I drove a Bolivian teen home from soccer. Here for a year with three siblings supported by a single mother working legally, he asked in broken English, “Why do Americans not like people from South America? People at my high school make fun of me.”
