Owners and proponents of crypto have a direct incentive to create chaos and dysfunction. Think Silicon Valley Bank, but the entire economy. They have now bought themselves into positions of great power. Hard to see how it ends well.

The lies are endless. Pardoning Zhao helped boost the Trump family crypto business. Everything is a grift.
He literally never says anything that displays intelligence or an understanding of complex issues.

Trump has lost touch with reality — and his "Gatsby" party proves it!

X, Grok, Musk cannot be trusted to provide reliable, accurate information. British government and MPs should not be on the platform.
I know this won't surprise anyone here but Musk's reprogrammed artificial intelligence is spreading misinformation about yesterday's attack on a train

They are creating a private intelligence angency tasked with tracking down their own neighbors.
“Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.”

Or ICE could just fund the Klan directly.
ICE Plans Cash Rewards for Private Bounty Hunters to Locate and Track Immigrants
Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate — and paid cash bonuses for performance.

Jimenez works at a food pantry feeding the unhoused and other vulnerable communities, father to 3 children.

He now has a bullet in his shoulder for simply stopping to warn Trump's masked thugs about children in the neighborhood.

He is being charged with "assault on a peace officer."

🧵Trump's masked thugs shot a 24-year-old US citizen last Thurs in Ontario, Calif.

He had just left his home and saw a bunch of ICE agents surrounding a car.

He stopped and simply told them, "Hey, there's a bunch of kids about to be across the street because they're going to school."
In Chicago, a 68 year old resident of the Old Irving Park neighborhood was planning to run today. He was beat up by Border Patrol agents in his own driveway last week. Taken to ICE in Broadview, then the FBI. He's suing. He's a white, US citizen.

It's so deeply unserious.
The House Oversight Committee has issued a 93-page report on Biden’s use of the autopen, a fairly standard practice among U.S. presidents, and called on the DOJ to investigate.

This is the longest full shutdown in U.S. history, and this is what House Republicans are up to. trib.al/OGVwGsH

The Trump Administration is basically claiming the right to kill anyone anywhere for any reason or for no reason, with no evidence provided or accountability to Congress or the American people.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Ongoing. Sheriff's officers, state troopers and NIPAS continue pushing the small remaining group of protesters away from the detention center.

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..
This is exactly why there is a 25th Amendment.
Looks like a Chicago Metra stop.
Ya got a flat tire......DEI.
In Evanston and Albany Park earlier. Understand the copters are near Pilsen now. Stay safe!
Astounding levels of aggression against obviously nonthreatening nonviolent protestors and bystanders. Border Patrol and ICE are so fundamentally broken as institutions.
Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

JD Vance drew a broad backlash this week after he said that he hoped that his wife, Usha Vance, who is of Indian heritage and was raised in a Hindu family, would eventually convert to his own Catholic faith.
