Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.

I heard this piece for the first time at a “Bach, Beethoven & Brunch” many, many years ago with my love.
I’ve listened to it countless times since. It will forever bring me directly back to that moment.

This is a Putin plan for Ukraine.
What we need to do is put pressure on Putin to negotiate and we need to continue to support the courageous people of Ukraine.
