Just a reminder.

Every American who recognizes the sacrifices of this nation's armed forces should be screaming at the top of their lungs over this disgusting and racist act.

The Strategic Crypto Swindle A bitcoin reserve would be a government-backed grift.

“Committing the government to buying crypto would essentially institutionalize [the Trump] administration’s accumulating conflicts of interest.”

Trump’s Most Inexplicable Decision Yet The tariffs are real, and they are spectacularly foolish
