Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.
Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.

With important peace talks underway in Europe, the Trump admin sent the Army Secretary to represent the Pentagon since they can t trust unserious Hegseth not to embarrass them with his daily dipshittery. So they kept him home to threaten Mark Kelly with a court martial.

Tyson is one of just a few companies that controls the entire meat market.
Just last month, it paid $85M to settle charges it illegally conspired with other meatpackers to raise pork prices.
Corporate monopolies are great for executives and a raw deal for everyone else.

Tyson CEO Donnie King made $22.7 million last year.
The week before Thanksgiving, he told 3,200 workers in Lexington, Nebraska that they're losing their jobs.

Another Trump promise with much hype and fanfare when it was announced as a "HUGE WIN" for farmers that didn't happen. Incidentally, we made concessions to the Chinese for this "deal." bsky.app/profile/atru...
CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.

The best diplomats in this country and the world, brought to us by good ol’ Trumpian meritocracy. So glad that woke has been vanquished.
So, to recap, Ukraine and Europe understand that America has effectively endorsed a 28-point plan to force Kyiv to capitulate, set a Thursday deadline to accept it, and threatened to cut off all aid.
Now Marco Rubio says it's all wrong, that's not the plan, there's no deadline and no threat.
