The Trump Media & Technology Group, which controls the social media platform, on Tuesday announced it would partner with Crypto.com to introduce “Truth Predict”, which would allow users “to react instantly to developments in major current events”.  Crypto.com previously donated $11mn to Trump causes. Earlier this year the Securities and Exchange Commission closed an investigation into the company, and on Friday, it announced that it applied for a US bank charter. In August, TMTG also signed a multibillion-dollar deal to buy Cronos, the tokens issued by Crypto.com, which sent their price soaring. “For too long, global elites have closely controlled these markets — with Truth Predict, we’re democratising information and empowering everyday Americans to harness the wisdom of the crowd, turning free speech into actionable foresight,” said Devin Nunes, TMTG’s head.

Excuse me? So the company the President currently owns is teaming up with a cryptocurrency company to create a prediction market, which will take bets... on things the President himself has quite a lot of control over?

Gosh, I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

This was done to the White House, a federal property, by a man who wanted protesters who spray painted a wall arrested for "destruction of federal property."

Murphy: "Trump is refusing to negotiate because he likes the fact the govt is closed, bc he thinks he can exercise King-like powers. He can pay the employees who are loyal to him. This is a leader who is trying to transition our govt from a democracy to something much closer to a totalitarian state"

That AZ lawsuit to force Grijalva's swearing in looks stronger by the day.

The basic argument: AZ is entitled to be represented for the entire two year term the Constitution sets forth. No one has the right to shorten it.

Especially when her swearing affects the votes to challenge Speaker's power.

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

Every one of THESE PEOPLE ARE TRAITORS

The people in Arizona’s 7th congressional district have been without representation in Congress for over 7 months.

Mike Johnson continues to deny them representation because their duly elected representative has pledged to sign the petition to release the Epstein files.

The Trump Administration is an assembly of koolaid drinking trolls who can’t see how insane they are. Problem is the press corps actively covers this up and Democrats are too cowardly to beat on it like a drum.
