This is terrifying. Have the US Congress and Justice System really no means to stop this flagrant breach of good governance?
A struggling technology company that has ties to China and relies on TikTok made an unusual announcement this week. It had secured funding to buy as much as $300 million of $TRUMP, the so-called memecoin marketed by President Trump.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

Genuinely amazing that Trump has devised a tariff regime that exempts phones manufactured in China but hammers anyone assembling electronics in the USA using parts made in China.
Cannot *wait* to see how his boosters explain that decision as genius.

Utterly appalling.
Five ambulances, a fire truck and a UN vehicle were struck one by one.
The bodies of the first responders were then ditched in a mass grave.
A war crime. Without anything close to the appropriate level of global outrage.

Seriously, if you worry that upholding the law might be politically bad for the 'optics‘, and could give a boost to the people you want nowhere near power, you have already given up on the principles you claim to be defending.

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?
