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.

MAINE: 7 ICE agents against one “squeaky clean” corrections recruit.
The sheriff said, “They all took off leaving his car with the windows down, the lights on, unsecured and unoccupied. Folks, that’s bush league policing.”

The feds slapped all kinds of labels on Chicago's Juan Espinoza Martinez when they arrested him last fall. They called him "depraved" and a "thug."
But Thursday, a jury called him "not guilty."

They will do anything to promote a false narrative.

A previous version of the image, also posted by an official government account, showed her looking forward calmly.
