The Weekly Spill (In Shorts)
Welcome to The Weekly Spill—Silicon Bay Partners’ regularly scheduled download of thoughts, takes, and the occasional side-eye at the world as it actually is (not just as it’s pitched in a deck). Each week, we sift through the noise across current events, politics, startups, and financial markets to bring you what matters—and what’s just pretending to.
We aim to keep things light, even when the topics aren’t. That means a bit of satire where it’s earned, a bit of skepticism where it’s called for, and a commitment to staying grounded in facts even when opinions sneak in through the side door. We won’t always be non-judgmental—but we will always try to be clear-eyed.
Think of this as your informed, occasionally irreverent briefing for the week ahead. Read it for insight, stay for perspective, and feel free to disagree—that’s o.k. too. Fair warning: Sometimes we spill more than once a week!

Days after he trolled former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama with a racist mock-up of them boarding a graffiti-laden Air Force One, Trump had to switch aircraft because his pet plane wasn’t up to security snuff. Evidentially, flying coach on Spirit is safer.
Mo’ Money
Mike Johnson says lawmakers’ $174K+ salaries haven’t kept up with inflation and that they need stock trading to take care of their families. He’s forgetting about the benefits—a 54 day paid vacation during the 2025 government shutdown. American taxpayers have taken amazing care of lawmakers’ families. Besides, many of them have a side hustle—grifting.
