• $300k to Clay Fuller, who just won the Republican runoff in GA-14
• $850k to Nate Morris, challenging Andy Barr in the Kentucky Senate Republican primary
• $350k to Pete Ricketts, incumbent Nebraska Senator running for re-election

zero interest rate policy (VC firms investing in some of the wildest garbage you can imagine)

I too aspire to have an API limit and for you to either pay me more to keep working, or wait until after I've had a nap

also it will be funny to see if Trump blows off the memecoin event he scheduled for the same day and gives the attendees an NFT consolation prize
