People paid $500 in June for the Trump mobile phone, and the phone is still nowhere to be found. Guess it’s on the same truck as his healthcare plan.

Doesn’t matter, Agent Krasnov won’t fight for Taiwan, it’s not as HAWT as invading Venezuela

Elderly beekeeper, 84, loses main source of income after neighbor has 20 hives taken from property. Loss ranges from $8K-$16K per harvest. But why?

More info: a comparison of the 2023 and 2025 policies removes these examples as "prohibited" and discusses more generally "potentially divisive" symbols. So the WaPo article is factual, but they may still be prohibited by other regs.
I will quote and link the Newsweek article in the comments.

Big CG is now saying the WaPo report was false and “These symbols have been and remain prohibited in the Coast Guard per policy. Any display, use or promotion of such symbols [...] will be thoroughly investigated & severely punished.”

BUT the original indictment w/ the pencilled-in amendment is not the operative charging document in the case.
The operative indictment is the second one, which the grand jury did not vote on.
What’s more, the amendment to the original indictment was not made in the presence of the grand jury.

Lindsey Halligan's confession that she didn't re-present the indictment to the grand jury creates problems even beyond the fact that that likely means there's no indictment.
Count 2 of the existing indictment relies on the count grand jurors rejected.

This week, "mental health advocate" Chris Aldana posted a tweet defending his sexual "encounter" (as a 22yo teacher) with a 16yo as "consensual." Yet on his website he says it was "deeply inappropriate", "wrong" and that he took full responsibility for "the harm I caused". So, which is it? #SexAbuse
