Pete Hegseth’s Crypto History Does the defense secretary have unclaimed earnings from a firm he formerly advised?

For at least four years, Pete Hegseth’s association with the crypto firm INX was public, but at some point it seems to have been obscured. In 2019, he was listed on INX’s website as one of the company’s advisory board members. By November 2022, INX had removed the list of advisory board members.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities. In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account. These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

TRUMP: If there is a shutdown, it’d be a tremendously negative mark on the President. He’s the one who has to get people together.

How to Use Signal Encrypted Messaging The best end-to-end encrypted messaging app has a host of security features. Here are the ones you should care about.

The same qualities that made Schumer a beloved local politician and a historically popular statewide politician in New York—where he maintained strong relationships with colleagues and was sure to visit all 62 New York counties each year—have worked against him as a party leader in a time when he needs to make tough decisions that won’t make everyone happy. “Schumer’s overriding quality as a leader is, he doesn’t like being criticized,” a senior Senate aide says. When asked if Schumer has done anything since March to show any improvement in his ability to strategize and communicate better in Trump 2.0, this source took a beat. “Um, no.”

"Schumer's overriding quality as a leader is, he doesn't like being criticized."

Republicans have shut down the government.

Why? They’re hell-bent on taking health care away from millions of people.

Democrats are here and ready to find solutions. We just need the GOP to join us.

Meet the Montreal Mayor Who Declared War on SUVs Oversized vehicles are devouring street parking spaces in the Canadian city. So one borough’s mayor is fighting back with bigger fees for hefty trucks and SUVs.

“Expanding the average car length from 5 meters (16.4 ft) to 5.5 meters (18 ft) decreases street parking spots by 9.3%, while an additional expansion to 6m (19.7 ft) causes a further loss of 7%…the growing share of larger vehicles has caused many on-street parking spots to effectively disappear.”

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.
