I recently sat down with @PJVogt to chat about North Korea’s undercover U.S. workforce.
I’ve been a fan of Search Engine and Reply All for years, so being a part of an episode was a real treat.
If you have some spare time, give it a listen!

SCOOP: While Bo Hines was leading the White House’s push to pass the Genius Act, Tether—the company with the most at stake in the bill—was steering millions of dollars to a company he co-owned.
Right after the bill passed, Tether hired him as its U.S. chief.

It's almost impressive that the Knicks just provided the greatest New York sports memory ever and James Dolan will still be forever reviled
The Knicks' assistant coaches did not receive their championship rings during Tuesday's ceremony, despite being handed ring boxes, according to league sources.
Many longtime employees at Madison Square Garden will not receive rings at all, per team sources.
Those employees got their hopes up in late September, when they were sent a fake championship ring offer as part of a phishing test.

Walked into the office to see this--what an honor. So proud that “The Business of Babies” earned a Gerald Loeb Award honorable mention. I played a small part, but getting to work alongside @ByKLong , @BenFoldy, @DanaMattioli, @EmilyGlazer, @sara_randazzo, @AmyDMarcus @csstewart @johnjcook was the real prize. This team is gold. Congrats to all the @WSJ winners! 🎉

In August, Trump announced the “BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!”
But is it?
The text of the accord — which grants the U.S. sweeping access to Venezuela’s oil reserves — has been one of DC’s most sought-after secrets.
ProPublica got to see a copy. 🧵

Someone impersonated a WSJ lawyer and had X take down this thread for violating copyright.
It’s now back online.
ICYMI: @BoHines’s company earned millions from @Tether as he led the White House’s crypto agenda.

New: In early 2025, the FBI embarked on a major bribery investigation involving some of the most powerful men in Washington: Sen. Lindsey Graham, Rep. Jim Clyburn, and Rep. Joe Wilson. Then Trump purged the FBI and DOJ, leaving no one to carry out the investigation. It’s dead. 🧵

We’re back with our second story about how Trump’s purge of the FBI killed a sweeping bribery probe in D.C.
This time, we take you to South Carolina, where two powerful politicians escaped scrutiny:
Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. James Clyburn.

Last year the FBI opened what could have been an explosive corruption investigation.
Agents were looking at potential bribery of some of the most powerful people in DC, including Lindsey Graham & Jim Clyburn.
Then Trump purged the FBI & it was shut down propublica.org/article/navat…
