more for groceries, more for health More for health care, more for utilities, more for housing, all thanks to Trump's chaotic tariffs and one big beautiful bill. And now his war with Iran is putting American troops in harm's way and further driving up the cost of nearly everything here at home. Second, in your testimony, you said it's perfectly fine for elected officials to state their views on interest rates.But that is not what Donald Trump is doing. The president has repeatedly and illegally attempted to ...

Let's talk a little bit about what you expect from your next Fed president. There had been a lot of expectations. You've been very clear about wanting lower rates, but with the situation in Iran right now with higher oil prices, most people tell us that that's going to have to wait.The market itself is not anticipating lower rates or any rate cuts until at least the second half of this year. There's only a 41% chance or something of that according to the market itself. Will you be disappointed if your new F ...

And I want to understand the determination for that.There's a view by some that it's political, but more importantly, at the same time that this is happening, reportedly, the NSA and other parts of the government are using Claude, which of course is the the large language model of Anthropic, and how you square that. Well, Anthropic is a group of ve ...

So, the reason that everything is more expensive is because we're running out. It's because oil is bad. It's because oil is going to destroy the environment.This is not sustainable. So, we need to reduce your oil consumption and we need you to switch to forms of energy that are essentially pre-civilized, pre-industrialized, that are dependent on the weather, you know, wind and solar, and that are unreliable, and that leave you at the mercy of nature.

When teams started building MCP servers, they did what everyone does: cherry-picked important endpoints for their product, wrote some tool definitions and shipped a separate service that covered a small fraction of their API. This was driven by a fundamental context limit of the end users' agent. And tools use a bunch of context just to describe themselves. MCP ...
