under federal law (31 U.S.C. § 5114(b)), it is illegal to feature the portrait of any living person on United States currency or securities. This restriction, first codified in 1866, was designed to prevent political propaganda, avoid the idolatry of current leaders, and ensure money honors historical contribution
It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.
Jalen Brunson of the @nyknicks is the second player in NBA history to score 45+ points on the road in a title-clinching victory.
The other was Michael Jordan at Utah in 1998.
@PollTracker2024 This is the generous way to frame this. The more honest one is "Do you support paying $1 bn of taxpayer money to build a new ballroom."
The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus.
You want to know what insults Jesus?
Kicking the sick off their healthcare.
Bombing schoolchildren in Iran.
Deporting moms and babies.
Covering up the Epstein files.
