There's a reason Donnie is bullish on crypto.
More good coverage on crypto fraud in the NYT this morning. Note the phrase "at least $28 billion". It is undoubtedly A LOT more than $28 billion because the technology is so perfectly designed to be untraceable AND this doesn't include all kinds of fraud. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/t...

Crypto ATMs are almost perfectly designed to facilitate financial crime from the most vulnerable Americans. Be very suspicious of anyone who asks you to make a deposit into one; they are designed to make it impossible for you to get it back. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/t...

One of my constituents, who’s lived in the US since he was 4 years old, was kidnapped by ICE and is now missing.
He was at a gas station in South Holland when ICE agents detained him, disconnecting his phone call to his fiance.
ICE needs to be held accountable for their Gestapo tactics.

My plea to Charlotte and the rest of the country is simple: get ready.
Because when ICE or CBP shows up, fear will spread fast. But courage can spread faster.

Still waiting on the injury reports on the officers. I expect:
"Jones sprained his wrist as he threw a protester to the ground."
"Smith was hit by another officer's billy club and suffered a concussion."

The only records your tariffs smashed are how much more people are paying for everyday goods.
And not sure which golden toilet you pulled that 25% number out of—you just added $3.4 TRILLION to the deficit with the Big Ugly Bill.

Why are news shows interviewing newscasters?
Hayes: It’s weird that everyone just stopped applying those two things to the situation we’re in now, where they elected who also is on an accelerated aging schedule. I mean, his nickname for Joe Biden was “Sleepy Joe.” He literally fell asleep at a White House event the other day.

Lean Cuisines make some very tasty meals. I find that one or two of them can serve quite adequately as appetizers as you're waiting for the chicken wings and meat lovers pizza to arrive. 😋

Today there is no avoiding the phrase "the dog who didn't bark."
The phrase originates from the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of Silver Blaze" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes notes out how odd a certain dog's silence is. In the end, it's key to solving the crime.

Why is it "always" (not always, but frequently) organic stuff that gets pulled for food poisoning?
ByHeart previously recalled two batches of formula after the disease was found in babies who consumed the product.
