A pull request for the Bitcoin Knots fork introduces Lua-based heuristics to score and reject spam in OP_RETURN transactions, countering techniques like Ordiknots that evade current filters. Proponents, including Knots maintainer Luke Dashjr, argue it helps preserve Bitcoin as a monetary network by addressing non-financial data payloads. Bitcoin Core contributor Peter Todd criticizes the proposal as enabling subjective censorship and potential centralization, similar to OFAC compliance issues. This development highlights the ongoing policy divide between Bitcoin Core's relaxed OP_RETURN limits and Knots' stricter spam controls, with Knots adoption at 15-20% of nodes.

Key Takeaway

Bitcoin Knots developers unveil Lua scripting to filter out evolving OP_RETURN spam tactics, but prominent voices warn it risks centralizing Bitcoin's node policies.

On June 21, 2025, federal agents arrested 48-year-old Narciso Barranco outside a Santa Ana IHOP while he worked as a landscaper; video showed a chase and scuffle, though no charges were filed and he has no criminal history. The judge's recent ruling terminated proceedings, allowing him to pursue legal status through Parole in Place as the father of three U.S. Marines. In a related case, ICE arrested Diana Butnarciuc, wife of Marine veteran Patrick Baja, mid-green card interview in Las Vegas this week despite her legal entry, tax payments, and two U.S. citizen children—her prior asylum denial from 2018 prompted the detention.

Key Takeaway

Narciso Barranco hugged his Marine sons in relief after an immigration judge shut down his deportation case, ending months of uncertainty for the landscaper detained last summer.

At the Jewish Federations of North America's General Assembly in Washington, D.C., Senator Ted Cruz argued that the $3.8 billion in annual military aid to Israel targets shared enemies like Hamas and Hezbollah, saving U.S. lives and costs while benefiting American defense firms.

Cruz warned of declining support for Israel among young Republicans influenced by social media, citing GOP tensions between traditional hawks and an isolationist 'America First' wave.

Senator Ted Cruz slammed U.S. aid to Israel as a mere 'pittance' that delivers priceless intelligence and security gains for America.
