SCOOP from @h-lev.bsky.social + @dfriedman.bsky.social:
In 2023, Bill Pulte's charity donated $65K to a nonprofit called One World Love LLC. But records show One World Love is tied to a law firm that represented Trump in his efforts to prove election fraud and avoid paying damages after January 6.
Tresasury Sec Scott Bessent just told the House Financial Services Committee that there will be a Super Bowl ad this weekend for the new Trump accounts for babies. Who is paying for that pricey commercial?

I talked to @jasonfurman.bsky.social about the Trump admin's decision to launch a first-in-history criminal inquiry into Fed chair Jay Powellβand what happened in other countries when leaders compromised central bank independence. (Tl;dr it wasn't good!) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The administration is freezing $10B in child care and anti-poverty funding in five statesβputting care for hundreds of thousands of working-class families at risk.
Cuts or delays this large will strain providers, disrupt quality care for children, and could force working parents out of their jobs.
YES. Thayer Street businesses need our $ right now and East Side Pockets is the absolute GOAT. My go-to order is a gyro-falafel combo wrap! Also low-key the best waffle fries in Providence.

The longer that the Brown shooter goes un-caught, the more room there will be for the spread of conspiracy theories, misinformation, AI junk, and all manner of racist/xenophobic speculation.
This worries me. And we're already seeing it.

Why does it matter that Pulte promoted $ZACK to his 3 million followers on X? As one expert told @h-lev.bsky.social, "The only people who make money are the people who usually get in before the coin is even launched.β

With news that there is no suspect in custody for the Brown shooting, Providence isn't just a grieving city. It's an *anxious and scared* grieving city.
A dreadful time.
And all of this is magnified for folks at/affiliated with Brown U.
Proud of the BDH journalists serving the mission under tough and tragic circumstances.
