JUST IN: Jay Clayton is officially the 9th Director of National Intelligence.
Senate confirmed him 51-47
Same Jay Clayton who, as SEC Chair, launched the massive lawsuit against @Ripple that lit the crypto world on fire.
From Wall Street regulator to SDNY U.S. Attorney… and now running America’s entire intelligence apparatus.
Crypto Twitter is about to have a field day.
What do you think — perfect pick or polarizing as hell? 👇
CVS threatened to close 134 pharmacies in Tennessee if a new bill passes that will prohibit any company from owning a pharmacy and pharmacy benefits manager at the same time
“The bill is aimed at separating financial control over drug pricing from the pharmacies that ultimately dispense medications. It separates financial control from patient care decision making”
CVS would rather pull out of an entire state than stop robbing Americans
"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces.
But I see everything.
Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments.
One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?"
"6:15," he said, confused.
"Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it."
He blinked. "You... you can do that?"
"I can now," I said.
Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?"
"Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing."
He cried. Right there in the parking lot.
Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic.
But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!"
"Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel."
He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us."
The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over."
Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it.
But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note,
"Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends"
People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket.
I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece."
So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones.
Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees.
It's not glamorous. But it's everything."
Let this story reach more hearts....

#XRP - It is #XRP Without Mentioning it:
I’m not trying to clickbait you, but listen closely to what he says about speed, innovation, and replacing the old with the new. He talks about transparency, recovery, and protecting against inflation, too.
Watch the video and see for yourself which asset meets all these points!

So here we are.
Incitement to violence LIVE.
Straight out of the horse’s mouth.This is why Chuck Schumer is scared to death.
No one listens to him.
No one listens to Hakeem.
.@AOC holds ALL the power.
She’s coming after Chuck’s job. She’s coming to sit in the Oval.
She’s coming to create more radicals just like her.
Incitement to violence live.
Listen in:
There are consequences to taking away people’s healthcare.
There are consequences to fighting against LGBTQ rights.
Consequences!
There are consequences to ripping apart, beautiful, law, abiding, undocumented people from their country.
Consequences to taking away people’s healthcare.
Consequences!
There are consequences to taking away people’s rights to choose.
Consequences!
There are consequences to taking away a living wage.
Consequences!
Who are the extremists in the audience —listening to this rant and absorbing every word she’s saying? The “fascist” bullet engravers. Are they tuning in?
You don’t hear the media talking about that.
You don’t hear of anyone arresting AOC for helping illegal aliens circumvent ICE deportations or for speeches that incite violence.
No one mentions Hitler here.
And yet, this is an impassioned and dangerous speech by a radical in the making —and the audience is lapping it up.
