The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

New on Elizabeth Holmes' partner Billy Evans’ blood testing startup: its former CTO and a key inventor on its patents, has left. Somebody who spoke with Billy says he refers to the company as “Theranos 2.0”, a label the company has rejected. forbes.com/sites/annatong/20…

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate-- then were told to lay off. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Brett Adcock is one of humanoid robotics’ biggest hype men. @Figure_robot is valued at $39B; @Forbes says he's worth $23.4B. Nearly two years ago, he said he saw a path to 100,000 robots across two customers in four years. How far has Figure gotten? Our profile 🤖: forbes.com/sites/annatong/20…

NEW: Last fall, executives at TikTok slashed the number of violations for which a TikTok advertiser could be immediately banned by more than half, from 37 down to 13, according to policy documents and four TikTok sources. That opened the floodgates to a surge in scams.

All seven Databricks co-founders began our journey together at UC Berkeley. We started the company in a room in Soda Hall, moved to a small office on Addison Street, and spent our first few years in Berkeley before eventually heading to SF. Two of our co-founders are still on the faculty.
Today we announced Databricks Field at California Memorial Stadium, our first collegiate athletics sponsorship.
Berkeley shaped everything about how this company thinks, and this is our way of investing in the next generation of students and builders who'll do their best work on that campus.
Go Bears!

New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes. propub.li/4yLLwaF

So much to unpack in this (excellent) @nymag story about sorority rush and GLP-1s. You could probably write an entire graduate thesis about mothers and daughters and body image based on these two paragraphs. thecut.com/article/sorority-…

Donald Trump is obsessed with the hot dogs at one of his golf courses. So obsessed that he orders one for everyone around him, including his Secret Service detail.
Then, according to a former employee, the club bills the Secret Service for the hot dogs.

An Abu Dhabi sheikh last year backed a secret $500M investment in World Liberty Financial via an entity called Aryam.
The sheikh is also a major investor behind the new bank World Liberty is planning to launch, via an entity called StringZ that owns 49% of the bank's holding company.
The new venture marks an expansion of the business relationship between the Trump-backed crypto company and a foreign government official.

Despite reports to the contrary, @Forbes still ranks @elonmusk as the richest person in the world. But @larryellison is nearly $100B richer this AM and nipping at Musk's heels. It's not just Oracle's soaring stock Ellison has to thank reports @_pheebini:

First Hawley (who doesn’t own stock) explains why this bill is so important.
“86% of Americans say members of Congress should not be able to buy and sell shares of stock.”
“We’ve seen the former speaker of the house make millions of dollars of profits.”
“We’ve seen members of both parties, I’m sad to say, be investigated for their stock trades.”
“And the reason for all of this is, that quite frankly, members of this body are privy to information that the normal person just is not.”

From @bradlander campaign:
While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing and we are monitoring the situation closely.
