Trump is trying to deregulate crypto as his personal businesses get more involved in the industry.
He also just gutted the DOJ team that investigates crypto fraud.
This may be one of most overt conflicts of interest in presidential history and it's hardly a blip on the news.

Think about how much of an entitled prick you’d have to be to think calling other human beings “peasants” when you’re the Vice President is an ok thing to do.
The world’s worst diplomat strikes again.
Also: we don’t borrow money from them. That is nonsense.

This administration will go to any length to ensure the American public has zero transparency. Now, senior Justice Department officials are invoking executive privilege to block a dismissed lawyer from testifying before Congress — all in an effort to intimidate whistleblowers and suppress the truth.

A GOP-controlled state appeals court ruled last week that over 65,000 lawful votes cast in North Carolina's Supreme Court race can be thrown out — potentially handing the race to the Republican candidate.
This is what stealing an election actually looks like.

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

There's something weird happening where The Discourse about the tariffs is about how Trump is trying to return us to 1950's and 1960's, the manufacturing heyday of America, but he's not! He' been very very explicit about this. He wants to return us to the 1890's. That's a different project!
