Crypto transaction volume linked to CSAM addresses rose 130% between 2022 and 2024, per TRM Labs research. TRM will be at the ICMEC Australia Symposium 2026 on October 22 in Sydney, where public and private sectors come together to disrupt child exploitation. 🔗 More details:

Today, I witnessed the announcement of the Dubai Future Regulations Team, established under the supervision of Dubai Future Foundation and the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai, with the participation of 25 government entities. The team will work to advance Dubai’s legislative framework, strengthen its global competitiveness, attract talent, and ensure its readiness for emerging economic sectors and new business models. Dubai is leading the race among global cities to develop future-ready legislation. We want legislative innovation to become an integrated institutional practice, driven by collaboration between the public and private sectors, as we build a global model for legislative readiness that responds to rapid technological advances and strengthens economic competitiveness.

Today’s launch event for @CarnegieMellon Miami campus made possible by the investment of $3B from Ken Griffin was a shining moment for our state and country. What stood out, was the intentionality of CMU Pres. Jahanian’s team in reaching out to such a broad range of Miami stakeholders from all of the local universities, MDC/FIU/UM + electeds + community and private sectors groups. I spoke with students & faculty members like Dr. Jignesh Patel and also research scientists who all want to work collaboratively with our community in addressing the grand challenges we know that face our region and world. It came full circle when I saw one of my son @nabs_labs, closest friends who is a Freshman at the CMU Griffin School of Computer Science. Seeing a Miami kid back at home for this announcement was a harbinger of the impact and opportunity that will come from an R1 Research juggernaut setting up a campus in our Miami. The idea that a Miami kid like that and so many others could soon build/thrive and grow our ecosystem arising from this catalytic event is a sign of how much uplift is possible in our future.

At @Ford, we care a lot about the Essential Economy, which is the workers who build, fix, and maintain the physical world around us. These skilled trades are the backbone of American manufacturing and we need solutions for closing the skills gap, and providing the education and resources that will power the productivity and growth of the #EssentialEconomy#. Across industries and public and private sectors, we all need to work together. That's why this summer, Larry Fink from @BlackRock, Ruth Porat from Alphabet Inc. & @Google, Linda Hubbard from @Carhartt, and I launched the Alliance for America's Skilled Trades. Among other goals, we wanted to build a shared, trusted foundation of data on the state of skilled trades across America. So today, in partnership with Jobs for the Future (JFF) and The Burning Glass Institute, we’re officially publishing — The State of America's Skilled Trades: A National Report. Take a look: The report examines the forces shaping supply and demand across occupations and regions, to show where workforce systems are working well, where they're under strain, and where focused action can make the biggest difference. Alongside the report, we're launching America's Skilled Trades Dashboard — a first-of-its-kind interactive tool that makes the data accessible in one place. It breaks down the data by occupation and state, making it easy to explore local labor market conditions, identify where the need is greatest, and compare progress across regions. The dashboard is available at We also set out to grow this movement. Today, we're welcoming 14 new partners - @ATT, Barton Malow, @blackstone, @CintasCorp, @DEWALTtough, Dycom, @Hersheys, @ManpowerGroup, @Meta, @Microsoft, @MilwaukeeTool, @nvidia, @Verizon and @Waymo. Each has already stepped up individually. Now we're stepping up together. You can read more about today’s news here: #FordAccelerate# #Accelerate2026# #SkilledTrades#

SCMP: "Policymakers from China’s top economic planner and the nation’s finance ministry have accelerated the roll‑out of supporting measures while ramping up backing for private‑sector entities, after weaker-than-expected economic data highlighted the urgency for further policy stimulus." I suspect that policy measures to boost consumption will barely have any effect over the rest of 2026 as they are still mostly focused on expanding the supply side rather than boosting household income. This suggests to me that much of heavy lifting will be done through even more investment, probably in infrastructure.
