Empty Spaces: A Poem about Clutter, Love, and Loss

My dog knew it right away.
She was inside your car
surrounded by boxes, bags, papers,
clothes, and more boxes. A fortress
of clutter, material, and belongings.
So tight, she felt scared, and whined.
The walls were closing, clawing, and tightening
phantom hands around our throats.

We were broken before we knew we were.
The cardboard was the beacon, the blazing fire-eye
Sauron-spying over the darkness of our apartment,
highlighting the labyrinth of clutter and memory.
Its corridors meant to distract, occupy,
and prevent us from knowing
we were suffocated, buried by each
corrugated wall, with its shipping label mortar.

Books, movies, TVs, games, video games,
computers, posters, notebooks,
pencils, pens, toys,
artwork, clothes, and furniture.
We stuffed that one-bedroom apartment to the brim.
They were just abandoned cities
always hoping for Avalon, but still,
it was simply a repeating Atlantis

We tried, we did,
crammed together like an Indiana Jones trap
with squares instead of spikes and poison darts.
No matter how many foundations we laid
it was always a sandcastle
with empty love refusing to stand.
We should have just admitted

they were never strong enough.

A New Report On Revolving Door Corruption that Helps Make Sense of the Latest Twin Metals Lobbying Disclosures

Lobbying activity for the Twin Metals copper and nickel mine on the edge of the Boundary Waters increased dramatically in the second quarter of 2026.

The new lobbying disclosure is here. In Q1 2026, the Bernhardt Group reported Twin Metals income of $120,000; in Q2, $220,000. Bernhardt lobbied both houses of Congress and multiple executive branch agencies on “mine leasing issues” on behalf of the Chilean company that owns Twin Metals.

I would also direct your attention to this excellent Public Citizen report by Alan Zibel and Jesse Coleman on David Bernhardt and revolving door corruption. The report was published in June, so it does not take into account the latest disclosures. But the points it makes about revolving door corruption provide important context for understanding these documents.

Since its launch just one year ago, Bernhardt’s firm has recorded $8.8 million in revenue from 53 clients in just three completed quarters of lobbying — a classic example of how Washington, D.C.’s revolving door blurs the lines between corporate interests and government. Bernhardt Group reported nearly $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2026, putting the lobbying firm on pace for $11 million in revenue this year. The “revolving door” is a system in which corporations and other wealthy interests develop close relationships with government officials through the movement of key individuals back and forth between the private and public sectors.

Zibel and Coleman also detail closed-door meetings at Interior in September and November of 2025 with Bernhardt Group lobbyist William McGrath and Twin Metals executives.

More broadly, the report makes the case that David Bernhardt is now operating as a “Shadow Secretary” of the Interior, while the actual cabinet Secretary, Doug Burgum, goes on television to defend Trump’s war in Iran, or to pretend he’s never heard of batteries, or to talk about the reflecting pool and other Trump vanity projects.

If you want to make sense of what the administration is doing on the Twin Metals front, or of the actual dirty work that’s getting done behind the scenes of the embarrassing, outrageous, and infuriating spectacle of the second Trump administration, this is a must read.

Some of my books are old friends. Clearing off an office file cabinet, I found one of them, since replaced. I probably bought it at Adamene's Book Fair, the used-book store in Somerville, NJ, whose stamp remains almost as clear as the publisher's print. I lived there for my first year or two of grad school, 1975-1976. Naturally, the paperback is disintegrating. A dear friend gave me a newer used copy some years back, knowing how much I like these stories. Still, I couldn't discard it. The stories may not describe terribly sensible people; the pages themselves, though, are quite unglued.
But it's still readable! I feel toward it somewhat the way I feel about the t-shirts embroidered by a safety organization for which I volunteered over 25-some years. When the tees become unwearable, will I toss them, or throw them in the rag bag? I think I'm sane enough to do so. Books, though, I find much harder to toss in a recycle bin. (I do realize tyhis will be the fate of most of my professional library after I die.)

Good Days Bad Days: A Novel

An Incomplete Look at Cantor Fitzgerald’s Rigetti Trades and Some Reconsideration of the Commerce-Cantor Connection 

Right around the time Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was taking a 10 percent equity stake in Intel for the US government, Cantor Fitzgerald —the firm Lutnick ran for 34 years, and which is now run by his sons — was building an enormous position in the chipmaker. That much is clear from the SEC filings I discussed in a previous post on Trump’s Intel trades. 

From the quarterly reports filed with the SEC, it’s impossible to say whether Cantor built its position before the government announced the Intel deal, or in response to it. That remains an open question and a key one. It would also be helpful to know whether this was an isolated incident, a mere coincidence, or part of a pattern. Are there other Cantor trades of public companies in which the government has taken a stake that work like Intel? Are there other trades that point to a Cantor-Commerce connection?  

In this post I want to give a little more shape to this question by looking briefly at Cantor’s trades of another technology company in the government’s growing equity portfolio: Rigetti Computing. 

Rigetti is one of nine deals, all with quantum computing companies, that the Department of Commerce announced in May. (Tad De Haven has put together a useful list.) A government award of up to $100 million requires that over the next three years Rigetti meet certain milestones on its roadmap toward “quantum advantage.” The terms of the award allow the Department of Commerce to take an equity stake in Rigetti “consistent with the total amount of the funding,” and with shares priced at a 15 percent discount from closing price on the date of the award. (On 20 May 2026, the day before the award was announced, RGTI closed just below $17 per share.).

That’s the deal in a nutshell.  Now let’s turn to the SEC filings that detail Cantor’s trade. 

At first glance, the position that Cantor Fitzgerald LP took in Rigetti Computing looks something like the protective collar position the firm took in Intel. After an options-heavy, hedged entry in Q3 2025 – 2.1 million long shares protected by 2.4 million at-the-money puts – Cantor adopts a position in Q4 that looks something like a long straddle, with calls and puts basically balanced. That would allow the firm to respond to some big market moving event they anticipated; or it could just reflect the balance of inventory Cantor needed to facilitate client bets, as Q3’s quantum hype devolved into Q4’s uncertainty. 

As Rigetti’s share price steadily decayed in Q1 2026, down as low as $12.90 just before the quarter’s end, Cantor drastically cut its Rigetti position by about 80 percent, from a notional $112 to $24 million. So it looks as if the firm was a) revising its thesis and winding down its Rigetti book well before the late May 2026 announcement of the $100 million award or, more likely, b) all along Cantor had been running a broker-dealer facilitated trade, and cut inventory as the initial quantum hype wore off and investors exited RGTI. 

In other words, Cantor did not hang around for the Commerce announcement party (which wasn’t a complete blowout and didn’t last all that long, but it was a party all the same: shares of RGTI rose 30 percent on the 21 May news).

The picture is incomplete. SEC filings for Q2 2026, due in mid-August, will tell us more. Did Cantor reverse course and rebuild its position in Q2 2026 in anticipation of the Commerce announcement? That would be a telling move, and it’s certainly possible, but that doesn’t look like the path they were taking. The filings we already have suggest that the firm (sensibly) decreased its exposure – derisked – as the share price fell and the horizon stayed cloudy, or reduced inventory as it managed client demand. 

The timing and scale of Cantor’s RGTI entry might still give pause. The firm went from zero holdings in the first half of 2025 to a massive position in Q3. That’s the sort of aggressive, confident move that Cantor made when it increased its Intel holdings 50X in a single quarter, as Lutnick and Commerce attorney Dave Shapiro strong-armed the company. What’s more, Cantor built its hoard and hedge position in Rigetti before the end of Q3 2025, and at least three weeks before the Wall Street Journal reported, on 23 October 2025, that Commerce was talking with Rigetti and other quantum computing companies about taking an equity stake in return for a government award, as they had done with Intel in August. 

That may raise eyebrows. But the timing of Cantor’s entry alone doesn’t indicate that they had knowledge of the Commerce-Rigetti talks or establish a Cantor-Commerce connection. Investors were piling into Rigetti and other quantum computing companies at the time. On September 18th, the Air Force Research Laboratory awarded Rigetti a contract; on September 19, 2025, there was news that the administration was considering an overhaul of the national quantum computing strategy: “speculation that the Trump administration could soon unveil new U.S. quantum technology initiatives also could be fueling the rally.” Online hype (like this video and this one, both cued to the mark) described a “combination of speculative and institutional buying” that was most likely driven by a mix of sound observation and FOMO. 

Cantor Fitzgerald LP could have just been acting on public information, or not even making a directional bet on Rigetti at all, just countering moves by clients, subsidiaries, and other entities.

In the absence of any other evidence and without the 13F filing for Q2 2026, it is reasonable to conclude that that’s probably what went down. My best guess is that Cantor’s Rigetti position reflects the evolving bid-ask spread. Cantor didn’t even need a Rigetti thesis, they just needed to answer investors who wanted in on or wanted out of quantum computing. (And maybe the same could be said about the firm’s Intel position; we just don’t know.) 

None of this is dispositive, of course, but it argues against a Cantor-Commerce connection or back channel in this particular instance. It does not assuage legitimate concerns about how the Intel deal went down, from the mob-style, arm-twisting extortion of the company to the Intel trades reported on Trump’s 278-T disclosure, which Liz Oyer reads as “a roadmap to the ways he is personally profiting from the powers of the presidency.” It does introduce more uncertainty into my reading of the public record and it makes me wary of drawing hasty conclusions about these trades from highly-sanitized SEC filings.

De Haven thinks corruption is inevitable when the government takes equity stakes in public companies. He may be right about that; I just don’t see proof of it in these filings. There are, however, still plenty of other places to look for evidence of corruption involving Lutnick and sons, from Kazakhstan to Oklahoma. One can only hope that Senator Van Hollen and others with investigative powers and resources will continue to look into the many ways “official Commerce Department business has intersected with Cantor Fitzgerald’s financial interests during [Lutnick’s] tenure.”

I plan to revisit the Rigetti trades in mid August, after Cantor files its Q2 13F. In the meantime, if there are things I’ve missed or places where I’ve gone astray, let me know.

#AudioMo 15 (4m 53s audio) leaving hoarding behind

"When a multi-pack runs out, what a sad time it is," I wrote decades ago. Now I would state it exactly opposite, that it's a happy time to use up unnecessary excess. I'm running against the current these days. I do not want to shop at warehouse stores and make my home a mini warehouse of bulk purchases. I want the freedom to buy what i need and carry nothing extra. It requires fighting hard-wired dysfunctions.

Cantor Fitzgerald Built an Enormous Position in Intel While Howard Lutnick Negotiated the Government’s 10 Percent Stake (And Trump Got Some, Too)

Trump bought Intel shares on six separate occasions in March of 2026, just before Intel’s market-moving announcement on 1 April that it had repurchased Apollo Global’s 49 percent share in an Irish joint venture, known as the Ireland SCIP. This much is clear from the timeline of Trump’s Intel trades I put together earlier this week. (Read that post for background.) In the short space of a month, Trump’s March trades nearly tripled in value.

Other trades disclosed on Trump’s 278-T are getting more attention in the press. But I believe these Intel trades merit attention as well. First, because they are evidence of corruption and general problems in government ethics; second, because they raise questions about Intel governance and the 10 percent stake the Trump administration extorted in August of 2025; and third, because as a longtime Intel shareholder, I am concerned that government extortion, the capitulation of Intel leadership, and, finally, political insider trading all compound risk. 

One big question is whether Trump made his Intel trades knowing that Apollo Global and Intel had already reached an agreement on the Ireland SCIP repurchase, that an announcement of the buyback was coming, and when it was coming. My answer right now is, it sure looks that way. 

A few people close to the Trump administration or in regular contact with Trump would have to have known about the Ireland SCIP transaction in advance. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan. Mark Rowan of Apollo Global, a Trump donor and confidant. And Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick. Three billionaires. All three of these oligarchs – or, to be fair, none of them – could have given Trump a heads up on the Intel-Apollo deal.

For the moment, let’s focus on Howard Lutnick. His daily proximity to the president, loose lips, and disgraceful public conduct make Lutnick a likely source, but there’s a case to be made that goes well beyond that.

Upon becoming Secretary of Commerce, Lutnick entered into an ethics agreement on 21 January 2025. That agreement required Lutnick to divest from his management role at Cantor Fitzgerald LP, the investment firm he owned and controlled for three decades, and recuse from matters that affected the firm’s financial interests.

To meet the obligations of this agreement, Howard Lutnick sold the firm to a set of trusts set up for his children. The sale agreement was signed on 16 May 2025, just days before the deadline set by his January ethics agreement. Lutnick’s son, Brandon, took over as Cantor CEO. Another son, Kyle, became Executive Vice Chairman.

This all sounds like an episode of Succession, but it’s also when things get interesting. SEC filings show that under the new leadership of the Lutnick sons, Cantor Fitzgerald LP built an enormous position in Intel right around the time that their father, Secretary Howard Lutnick, was negotiating the US government’s stake in the company. 

From public data alone, it is impossible for me to say whether they did so before or after (or both before and after) news of the government’s stake was made public. That would be a critical piece of information.

For now, I’ll confine myself to this breakdown, showing how the Cantor Fitzgerald position evolved from Q2 2025 to Q1 2026. It’s based on Cantor Fitzgerald LP 13F forms submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. (If you can’t read the table as is, this link should take you to a full screen-size version.)

At the end of Q2 2025, Cantor Fitzgerald LP held $2 million worth of Intel stock. For a Wall Street titan, this is a negligible position.

By the end of the next quarter, Q3 2025, things have changed dramatically. Cantor Fitzgerald now holds nearly $100 million worth of Intel stock.

Let’s review the timeline. At the start of August, Trump calls for Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan to resign. Tan hurries to Washington DC, and meets with Lutnick at the White House on 11 August. About a week later, on 19 August, Howard Lutnick is on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street touting the idea of the US government converting CHIPS Act grants to an equity stake in the company. The deal closes three days later, on 22 August. About a month later, more good news: on 18 September, Nvidia announces an investment of $5 billion in Intel.

Meanwhile, Cantor Fitzgerald LP is building what looks like a protective collar position, or what I think of as hoard and hedge. In the third quarter of 2025, as Lutnick twists Tan’s arm and then secures the US government’s stake, the firm goes from 89,483 to 1,826,197 long shares. That’s the sort of move you make on good information. And they simultaneously hedge that $59.3 million bet with $40.3 million at-the-money puts, to protect against any sudden drops. This way, the firm can manage risk as events unfold. 

The total value of Cantor’s position climbs in a single quarter from $2 million to $99 million. To express that another way, in Q3 2025, Cantor Fitzgerald LP increase their Intel holdings by 50X.

In the next quarter, Q4 2025, the position peaks. Cantor Fitzgerald LP increase their Intel holdings to 2.5 million long shares and balance those with at-the-money puts of 2 million shares. Long shares and puts are at near parity. And it’s only now, in October of 2025, that the divestiture agreement signed back in May — Howard Lutnick’s sale of Cantor Fitzgerald to his children’s trusts — actually closes.

As Lutnick’s November 278-T disclosure indicates, the divestiture was “consummated on October 6, 2025 following regulatory approvals.” It appears the Secretary of Commerce was still technically the owner of Cantor Fitzgerald LP while he negotiated the government stake in Intel and as Cantor built its protective collar position in Intel.

The Nvidia deal finalizes at the very end of Q4 2025, on Boxing Day. Over the next quarter, Q1 2026, the share price moves into the 40s. The firm prunes back its overall position and starts to unwind the hedge, with a long investment of $69 million and puts valued at around $35 million.

What happened next remains to be seen, when Cantor files its Q2 2026 13F, due in mid-August. The eight-month arc of this trade describes a well-executed entry, hold, and partial exit just before the news of the Ireland SCIP buyback drops on 1 April – which sends Intel stock on its way to new highs. 

Trump looks like a piker by comparison, but he still gets to wet his beak. It looks like he’s brought in for a piece of the action when it’s clear the Cantor Fitzgerald strategy is about to pay off and pay off big.
