MAGA Senator stuns with 'totally crazy' answer about Trump's goals in Iran

A MAGA Senator left two analysts stunned on Sunday after he gave a "totally crazy" answer about President Donald Trump's goals in Iran.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) joined NBC News' Kristen Welker on Sunday to discuss the Trump administration's decision to join Israel in striking multiple sites around Iran on early Saturday morning. During the conversation, Graham seemed to suggest that the administration had no goals in mind.

But there was one comment Graham made that caught Sam Stein, managing editor of The Bulwark, and Will Saletan, a writer for the outlet, off guard.

Welker asked Graham if the U.S. had picked out a new leader for the country, as it did in Venezuela after U.S. forces captured dictator Nicolás Maduro. Graham said he had "talked to the Crown Prince" about his "ideas for transition," referring to Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, who reportedly helped push Trump to strike Iran in the first place.

They reacted to Graham's comments on Sunday night.

"That was a weird one," Stein said. "Are we giving the Saudis a veto here? What's going on?"

"That was totally crazy!" Saletan said, adding that it seemed to contradict Graham's previous point about the people of Iran picking their next leader.

Saletan also pointed out that Graham seemed to suggest that Iranians would accept the Saudis telling them who should run their country, which he said is "insane."

"He can't be that stupid, can he?" Saletan said.

Aave V4 roadmap signals end of multichain sprawl

Aave V4 roadmap signals end of multichain sprawl

The post Aave V4 roadmap signals end of multichain sprawl appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave Labs has released its official launch roadmap for V4, laying out the final steps ahead of the major upgrade’s Q4 mainnet launch.  Alongside new architectural and security improvements, the roadmap introduces a fundamental shift in how user balances are tracked and highlights a strategic pullback from economically underperforming deployments across layer-2 and alternative layer-1 networks. The V4 release moves away from aTokens’ rebasing-style mechanics toward ERC-4626-style share accounting, a change that promises cleaner integrations, easier tax treatment, and better compatibility with downstream DeFi infrastructure.  In a recent technical development update, Aave Labs confirmed that “tokenization is to remain optional and built using ERC 4626 vaults,” and that internal accounting will eliminate the use of exchange rates or scaled balances. The goal is to “further improve the overall reliability of the protocol.” ERC-4626 is a widely adopted Ethereum standard that expresses user deposits as shares of a vault rather than balances that grow over time. In Aave V3, aTokens accrue interest by increasing a user’s balance directly — behavior that resembles rebasing tokens and often confuses integrations and portfolio accounting tools.  By contrast, ERC-4626 tracks yield through a rising price-per-share metric, leaving token balances unchanged. The result is more predictable behavior for integrators, auditors and tax software, as well as a clearer cost basis for users. The roadmap also outlines a series of release milestones, including a formal codebase publication, a public testnet launch with a redesigned interface, and the completion of a multi-layered security review involving formal verification and manual audits. Aave Labs said the roadmap reflects the protocol’s “final stages of review, testing, and deployment,” and that additional documentation and launch preparation materials will be released in the coming weeks. But the most pointed strategic shift comes not from the codebase, but from Aave’s own governance forums. “Aave…
