Looks like Trump’s new “steel plant” in IA, announced to shore up support in midterms from people his policies have crushed, where he said construction has already begun, is nowhere close to happening and contingent on Iowans giving tax breaks & incentives to a company in India.

From J6 insurrection to Schmitt's humiliation, a straight line

The latter covered up the former to confuse understanding of Trump's treason.

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

This is the dodgiest and most-desperate thing I’ve seen in the bubble so far. Amazon selling their chips to a group of investors and leasing them back - an off balance sheet arrangement done in plain sight. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. And they’ll probably buy more!

Amazon is seeking to offload about $8bn of advanced Nvidia chips to external investors through a new vehicle aimed at strengthening its balance sheet, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Seattle-based cloud giant has held talks with investors in recent weeks to gauge interest in the deal, which would allow the company to spin off thousands of Grace Blackwell chips it is deploying in data centres across the US into a special-purpose vehicle.
Amazon will then lease the advanced AI chips back from the SPV, which would tap outside investors through debt issuance. By unloading the expensive semiconductors to investors, the company could adopt a more asset-light approach to its balance sheet.

Scathing from Judge Edelman: Given his first indictment, the notion that the grand jury process would protect David Hearn from another "meritless, politically driven prosecution" is nothing short of "facetious."

Given the process that led to the Indictment in this case, Mr. Hearn and the public
cannot view the promise that a future grand jury would protect him against a meritless,
politically driven prosecution at some point in the future as anything short of facetious ‘The government indicted Mr. Hearn at a near-record pace, with the grand jury voting on the charge less than two weeks after his arrest. At the time the Indictment was returned, some of the government's own initial conclusions as to the origins of the damage to the Reflecting Pool’s liner were equivocal at bes
