Trump's inaccurate comments on affordability at State of the Union alarm his inner circle
Financial Times columnist Ed Luce identified a problematic moment from Trump's State of the Union address that will concern his White House team as poll numbers decline. Appearing on "Morning Joe," Luce agreed the speech was boring but highlighted Trump's dismissive treatment of affordability as damaging. Luce criticized Trump for treating the word as if Democrats invented it and the issue wasn't serious. He suggested Trump's campaign manager Susie Wiles and others were "gnashing their teeth" watching the address, which was supposed to position Republicans as serious on affordability for the midterms. Instead, Trump told Americans prices are falling and claimed drug prices dropped 100 percent, meaning they're now zero. Luce concluded that while audiences have grown accustomed to Trump's lies, the sheer volume and absurdity have become tedious rather than persuasive.

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s (ETH) Future Plans – Here’s What’s Planned
The post Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s (ETH) Future Plans – Here’s What’s Planned appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin presented the network’s new roadmap, which includes its short-, medium-, and long-term goals, at the Developer Conference held in Japan today. Scalability, cross-layer compatibility, privacy, and security were the prominent topics in Buterin’s speech. Buterin stated that the short-term focus will be on increasing gas limits on the Ethereum mainnet (L1). He said that tools such as block-level access lists, ZK-EVMs, gas price restructuring, and slot optimization will be used in this context. The goal is to maintain the network’s decentralization while increasing scalability. The medium-term goal is to enable trustless asset transfers between Layer-2 (L2) networks and achieve faster transaction finality. In this context, “Stage 2 Rollup” solutions, proof-of-conduct combinations, and optimizations for reading data from L1 are on the agenda. Furthermore, network optimizations such as shortening slot times, fast finality protocols, and erasure coding are planned to improve user experience and security. Buterin emphasized that privacy is a priority for both the short and medium term. Zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, anonymous pools, encrypted voting, and scrambling network solutions are highlighted to protect the privacy of users’ on-chain payments, voting, DeFi transactions, and account changes. Furthermore, secure execution environments, secret query techniques, and the ability to conceal fraudulent requests and data access patterns are also targeted when reading data from the chain. Buterin’s long-term vision highlights a minimalist, secure, and simple Ethereum. This roadmap includes resistance to the risks posed by quantum computers, securing the protocol with mathematical methods (formal verification), and transitioning to ideal cryptographic solutions. Buterin stated that these strategic steps will transform Ethereum into a more scalable, user-friendly, and secure infrastructure. With the strengthening of L2 networks, more users will be able to use Ethereum with less trust assumptions. The ultimate goal is for Ethereum to become a reliable foundational infrastructure for global…
