Reuters examined four Trump family crypto ventures and found a common template: The Trumps risked little up front, hyped the ventures and raked in money--all while many buyers lost big when prices later tanked https://t.co/i9nPKaMH2c @specialreports

[Reuters @Reuters]

Risking little of their own money, the US president and his sons have added at least $2.3 billion to the family fortune from their main crypto ventures, while the investors they've wooed have taken a $2.3 billion hit, Reuters found https://t.co/hS9VyCD0vE @specialreports

@thismachiavelli @PolitlcsUK Not “Labour”: Burnham. The reasons given for his not being cleared to stand for G&D were that it was too risky & expensive: Labour could end up losing both an important mayoralty & by-election (& expensive to run campaigns for both). AB’s put his own ambitions above ethg, as ever

[Annie Jones @annie_peg]

@Rea_lAmeerah @PolitlcsUK It’s not Labour tho, is it? It’s Burnham, who has his own personal (readily changeable) brand. The Times says Burnham offered a peerage & plum ministerial job *if* he becomes PM for a stand-down so he could run. Absolute mockery on so many levels from both Simons and Burnham.

[Annie Jones @annie_peg]

@dearbrit_ian @PolitlcsUK The Times reckons Burnham’s used the “persuasion” tactic of offering a seat in the Lords with a ministerial role. Hardly the noble sacrifice Simon’s is claiming if true.

A free, impartial and *honest* media is vital for democracy. With a leading “reporter” peddling slanderous lies on a major news channel like @SkyNewsBreak what hope do we have of fighting mis/disinformation?

Have a word @lisanandy!

@AndyBurnhamGM Maybe you should unpin this now you’ve just blatantly put naked self-interest & ambition before “place”? You stood & were elected to serve as GM mayor for 4 years, but proved you’d happily bunk off as soon as sthg potentially bigger & better (for you) came along. “New” politics!

[Annie Jones @annie_peg]

@patrickkmaguire Surely the easiest justification from our weak, unpopular PM would’ve been that Burnham stood for election as GM mayor pledging to serve a 4-year term, so he’d be betraying GM voters if he resigned early to become an MP, with example of -ive reaction to Bozo abandoning London?

Trump has profited $1.4 BILLION since becoming president. Each green dot is = to the median U.S. household income.

Anyone having second thoughts about paying through the nose to go to the @FIFAWorldCup in the #USA this summer?
Not the best advert by a host nation…

@ChrisMurphyCT Or… she knows they won’t but this makes it look as tho she at least tried to deescalate. Riots continue til the administration claims the need to invoke the Insurrection Act… No voter database necessary after all bc no more elections (as Trump promised at pre-election rallies)?

[Annie Jones @annie_peg]

@ReichlinMelnick #Trump gave plenty of clues during his election campaign (eg people wouldn’t need to vote ever again) about his intentions.
Watch this blow up enough to “force” the intro of the Insurrection Act… and then no Midterms… or voting, period.
He has no limits but his own morality etc

[Brett Meiselas @BMeiselas]

Europe, it pains me to say this, but now's the time to pull out all the stops. Boycott the World Cup. Shift economic relations from the U.S. to other nations. Forge a path forward without us. This is not a moment to be complacent.

@Number10cat It also feels as though there are way more bots on X than there ever were on Twitter. But I guess they’re OK when they align with the owner’s views…
