Opened a Trump account for my three kids a few weeks ago. I had only put a few bucks in it to see how they were investing it. I opened the app today to this gift from Michael and Susan Dell in all 3 accounts. I have no idea who you are, but thank you so much from me and my kids

YC batch overview (which is a good summary of early stage in general right now): -agent everything or “everythings agent” -barbell of round dynamics, either party round with angels and small feeler checks from big funds or the most outrageous round ever at seed (one co raised 20M on 100M post) -solo founders with revenue and no plans to hire more people even with more cash -companies are global from the start -founders are so young VCs couldnt plan happy hours bc no alcohol Shout out to the handful of “traditional b2b saas companies”, dont give up!

Peace agreements guarantee security.
The major headline in Israel this AM is Jordan’s Air Force intercepting drones in its airspace en route to Israel, especially remarkable for generation of Israelis who remembers sheltering from attacks from Jordan. The takeaway: diplomatic deals are vital for stability

Gaza is a society that has become disgustingly toxified by Islamic fundamentalism and a culture of cruelty. Ordinary Palestinians took part in the murder of Jews. Ordinary Palestinians spat at raped women. Ordinary Palestinians robbed massacred teenagers. Ordinary Palestinians support the murder of gays and subjugation of women. And here Palestinians get their phones out to excitedly film the execution of another Palestinian at the hands of Hamas. Large sections of the Muslim world have also become toxified by Islamic fundamentalism. Those who support Hamas have become as toxic as Nazis. Those wicked, sneering cruel Islamist fanatics who will attack this tweet in the comments for speaking the truth - for calling out their rapist friends Hamas. The Islamic fundamentalist rape gang Hamas have turned Gaza into sociopathic society full of murderers and murderer wannabes. No one would want them as their neighbours. Arab countries certainly don’t. To all you simple, brain dead, rape and murder supporting religious fanatics - we are not scared of Islamist pussies. You need numbers because you are pussies. You need to act in a mob because you are pussies. You need to hunt in a pack because what you believe is an ideology of pussies. You are feral bullying scumbags who are the enemies of enlightenment and civilisation. You are theocratic barbarians who would bring the world back into the dark age. You are the most stupid people on planet earth. You offer nothing of value to anyone.

GOP & @realDonaldTrump aren’t only shutting down the government tonight, they’re allowing the Violence Against Women Act to expire and leaving survivors of domestic violence & sexual assault without critical, lifesaving resources. Shameful.

Rep. Diane Black on tax reform. At 6:40-OMG-see an in depth discussion of the nuances of carried interest taxation. This woman is writing tax law and she completely lacks understanding of the issue. The journalists were far too polite. A blithering idiot? cnb.cx/2zDH9F3
