Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found. Much of that cash came from foreign sources.

How Jack Smith’s strongest case against Donald Trump collapsed Seeking to get the classified documents case to a jury before the 2024 election, the special counsel made a fateful decision that some in his office saw as a misstep.

I'll save you a click, the "fateful" decision was bringing charges in Florida where they got unlucky with Judge Aileen Cannon.

Promo for a coming book about DoJ and the Trump prosecutions still interesting. Gift link 🎁

Make a voting plan and get it in! Waiting to the last minute just gives the universe a chance to derail you.

Caucus leaders shouldn't have to do all the press if they're not the best at it. I suspect being from NYC raises their profile and accessibility to media but.

There are many Republican-coded benefits of health including productivity, competitiveness, military readiness, business overhead.

What's Oz gonna do? Cut Medicaid funds and increase bureaucracy. Require political correctness review of what research he hasn't slashed. Not pay the bills, apparently.

Sounds like trying to find ways to cast doubt on results. California's voting has been up to 90% absentee ballots (mail, drop box, etc) in recent elections.

Btw I only see 5 CA counties in the doj announcement, but your article mentions seven.

And here's the root cause, the baseline belief that underlies all of what Trump does: he thinks, with complete certainty, that holding a public office means that the holder owns the things that office involves. The White House, and its various walls, is his to do with as he pleases, instead of a publicly owned building over which he has been granted temporary stewardship. The same is true of the military β€” "my generals," and so on β€” and every other trapping of governance that he understands at a poorer level than your average third grader. That sense of ownership underlies the blatant corruption at the heart of his presidency, and explains why, as 24 hours of shock and criticism spread after the photos of the White House demolition aired, he simply doubled down, and unleashed the wrecking crews on yet more pieces of American history. It's all his, you see; he can destroy what he wants.

Surely there were follow up questions with Mr. Goldman or any of them. Musk walks, quacks, and builds his chatbot like a Nazi. He's richer than God and trying to use it to turn the USA and other countries to his liking.

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.
