As Trump's family businesses invest heavily in crypto...
-He's instructing the government to ease up on regulating the industry
-His SEC is dropping major lawsuits against crypto companies
-His DOJ terminated a team focused on crypto crimes.

Just heard Bill Kristol, former chief of staff for Dan Quayle, say he thinks ICE should be defunded and that the entire DHS should probably be disbanded, which puts him to the left of maybe the majority of elected Democrats. Truly wild times we’re living in.

While Mike Lee and Steve Daines' Senate Natural Resources Committee amendment to the budget reconciliation package mandates the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of public land, what most people miss is that it also authorizes the sale of 258 million acres. That's 40 percent of all public land:

There has never been an American golden age. The 1950s? Great economy but Jim Crow was still in place. Women were still property of their husbands. The era of the Robber Barons? Genocide of Native Americans? America has always been a work in progress, moving forward in fits and starts. Until now.

There’s no difference between watching CNN today and watching CNN a few years ago. Trump’s goons will be goose stepping through DC and CNN’s chyrons will still be wondering whether Biden is in the throes of cognitive decline. Good work— finger on the pulse, guys!

Guns are the leading cause of death for children in America.

Bezos and Zuckerberg's million dollar payments to Trump, Joe & Mika going down to MAL to kiss the ring, CNN making Trump appendage Scott Jennings the face of its coverage, and now ABC handing Trump $15 million for a hugely winnable defamation case. Is all of legacy media going to kowtow to Trump?

Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.
