With Trump pardoning Changpeng Zhao and accusing the Biden administration of persecuting him because it hated cryptocurrency, here's a reminder of what the IRS's cybercrime investigators dug up on CZ and Binance. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

President Trump is demolishing the East Wing to make room for a ballroom. His administration says he's continuing a presidential legacy of White House renovations, but this is the biggest in decades.

The entire East Wing of the White House has now been demolished. No transparency. No public comment period. No congressional review. Just gone in a matter of days…like our democracy.
Trump Has Completely Demolished The White House East Wing
The two-story structure of drawing rooms and offices, including a walkway to the White House itself, has been turned into rubble.

📌As a one-time resident of Maine, vet, longtime liberal and lover of America, I am flabbergasted the tone-deaf leaders in the Democratic Party have done it again by choosing a 78-year-old to run against Susan Collins next year —especially when we deserve so much better.

Why do Democrats seem intent on picking yet another old, run-of-the-Mills candidate when they can have something better?

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.
We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.

Why would the DOJ scrub the fact that right-wing extremism is the #1 domestic terror threat in America?
Why not acknowledge and confront it?
Also why haven't they released the Epstein Files?
Also why did Ghislaine Maxwell get a sweetheart deal transfer?
These problems won't go away.

The administration’s attack on the National Museum of African American History and Culture is an attack on truth itself. Erasing Black history is how oppression survives.

Exaggerating crime to “save” a city is a classic fascist play.
Mussolini did it.
Hitler did it.
Pinochet did it.
Now Trump’s doing it in D.C. — and the people who actually live there aren’t buying it.

"The couple’s portfolio reportedly rose in value by about 77.5 percent in 2024."
Anyone who knows anything about the stock market knows a 77.5% annual portfolio return is a bonkers, eyebrow-raising figure. Susan Collins's opposition to a trading ban makes it look even more suspicious. #MEpolitics
