OBAMA: He pulled out of the JCPOA, starts this war—Seven months later, six months after they declared victory, how's that war going?
Our allies and our bases have been attacked. Americans have been killed. Hundreds of Americans have been wounded. We have run down our stock of missiles. And Iran now has veto power over the strait of hormuz, where oil goes through to the world market.
This is the reason why the price of oil is up. Nobody disputes that. This is the reason the price of diesel is up. This is the reason why the price of just about everything is up.
Meanwhile, you got the defense secretary who's squarely focused on important matters: the jawlines and testosterone levels of our troops.
These are not serious people. And the problem is you end up having to pay the price for their lack of seriousness.

Emotional. Figma Agent is out of beta today!
We're officially at the starting line :)
This has been a labour of love for the last two years, from a small experiment, “could we train a model to work on the canvas?”, to a whirlwind of sweating every eval behind every capability, every interaction, every form factor, and every opportunity to make the pieces of Figma work together more intelligently.
I’m really excited about what this workflow unlocks as it permeates more of Figma: search, design, build, edit, animate, synthesize, iterate… all in the place your work, and where your team already explores together.
Very proud of our team. Moving this quickly to tie so much of Figma together while developing entirely new capabilities, through astronomical changes in the AI landscape, takes a lot of resilience, imagination and craft. So it's special to finally see it in everyone’s hands.
There’s so much more we want to push from here.
You’ll start seeing more of our experiments around latency, capabilities and form factor come through. Right now, this feels like a pretty great step toward scaling your craft and creativity while staying in flow.
Try it on its own or use it alongside third-party agents.
Ask it to make tools, animations, shaders, design systems, variations on designs and flows; document your work, prep files, write skills, bring in connectors… 🥵 I could go on.
But tbh I’m much more excited to see where you take it.

Finally, I’ve spent unspeakable amounts of time crafting this in the past couple years alongside @studio_few

This was one of those projects the team & I were fiending for since I joined @figma. There's always been this fundamental tension between an infinite canvas, touch, and a phone screen size -- but we believe it should be as easy as navigating the photos app on your phone
Lots of other little wins here too like exporting assets to your phone and sharing links to an exact frame! Check out the app when you get a chance: figma.com/downloads/

Test early and test often can by tough when you don't have on-demand access to real users.
Here's how you can test every step of the way using pretend people with real personalities and an agent that's a real collaborator without leaving Figma.

Needed better duotone options in figma today, so I shipped it. Crazy how easy that was. figma.com/community/plugin/1…

The Dodgers just acquired arguably the best pitcher in baseball for prospects they acquired in deals where they sent away Michael Busch…. and Matt Beaty
If you think they acquired Tarik Skubal because they have money shut the hell up

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.
The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.
Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.
The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.
Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.
The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.
The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.
This is your tax money.
It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.
We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.
Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.
