The WH is increasingly acknowledging it must strike a deal with Dems on ethics to get its crypto bill passed, I’m told.
The issue has been elevated to senior officials — but not yet Trump himself.
“We’re at relatively early stages,” one official told me. https://t.co/LYguTpfWnd
Epstein survivor: “I was r*ped three times a day and I wasn’t the only girl. It was a conveyor belt of abuse.”
Congress is actively protecting the monsters behind this.
The entire system needs to be destroyed.
Don't stop talking about the Epstein files.
Don't stop talking about the Epstein files.
BREAKING: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche just admitted the DOJ excluded images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from today’s Epstein files release.
Let that sink in.
The government is acknowledging graphic evidence exists and chose to withhold it, while redacting names tied to Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful associates, including Donald Trump.
Wolfers: This is the most interventionist government of my lifetime. It’s the least conservative government of my lifetime. When you are the richest country in the world, maybe you are not the ones who should be tearing down your existing institutions. That’s usually what countries that are lagging behind try to do. But that’s exactly what this president is doing.
This won’t show up in next quarter’s GDP. What it will show up as, a decade from now, is companies that were never founded. Entrepreneurs who couldn’t afford to go to business school. Immigrants with great ideas who stayed in their home countries instead. Whatever the next generation’s Google or OpenAI is, it may not be invented—or it may not happen on our soil.
We’ll never see that absence directly. But our kids will feel it. They’ll feel it as lost opportunities: businesses never started, jobs that never existed, technologies never developed, and ways of creating a greener, safer, more prosperous future that simply aren’t possible.
Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.
My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.
Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.
If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.
@Pawzazzle That’s exactly how we rescued our doggie 15-years ago after it was being kicked away as a tiny puppy. She’s had a great life and is still going strong.
This is Richard Smith of the South Durham Hunt and he thinks it’s ok to hit a horse over the head. Make this ‘man’ famous.

A subsidized Western Union stablecoin launch shouldn’t shake anyone’s conviction in $XRP.
It’ll be multichain anyway, not just on Solana $SOL.
If you still think XRP needs the “global bridge asset” narrative to succeed, that’s where my conviction disappeared. Even Solana feels the need to take digs at XRP. They wouldn’t do that if they were truly confident.
I’m still extremely bullish on XRP, just tired of explaining that Ripple isn’t replacing the Fed, XRP isn’t being pegged to gold, and it’s not hitting $500 by EOY.
The great thing about the accounts saying these things is it’s always a win-win. Move the date. Shift the narrative.
If something happens, it’s “confirmation.” If it doesn’t, it’s “manipulation” or “the switch hasn’t flipped yet.”
The bad thing is they create a cult like army of uneducated groupthink.
You can be bullish on XRP because there’s plenty to be bullish on without taking the blue pill.
