Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.
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.

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago.
She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media.
All charges against her have been dropped.
In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.

If you'd rather bigots hold trans people's lives hostage instead of trans people hold the comfort of bigots hostage, well OK, that's your calculus, you get to make your choices in democracy—but own your choice. Admit it. Stand on your business. Go curry the favor of bigots and own the results.

I made a joke about the metaphors being heavy-handed yesterday, but this somehow encapsulates everything. The president is wrecking a structure he does not understand and does not appreciate and does not value to build something ugly and self-serving in its place.
BREAKING: The entire East Wing of the White House will be demolished “within days,” according to two Trump administration officials, a significant expansion of President Trump's original stated plan.
