Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his.

It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.

I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock

America’s allies should be deeply concerned about Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing, Tom Nichols writes in The Atlantic Daily. “America’s enemies, meanwhile, are almost certainly laughing in amazement at their unexpected good fortune.”
