The Coinbase-backed "Stand With Crypto" advocacy group has declared Illinois Senate candidate Juliana Stratton to be "strongly against crypto" solely because she made a statement criticizing the $5.5 million the crypto industry had already spent to oppose her
Well, well, well... web searches for 'Epstein Files' have significantly fallen over the ten days since the US & Israel launched their attack on Iran.
Of course, only a cynic would regard this as an intended outcome from the Tangerine Tyrant's willingness to go to war.... I mean why would anyone think that?

Here we have a reporter making it very clear that Israel is an apartheid state:

There is a clear attempt the use the fog of war to deny US culpability for the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school bombing (which killed many children), with the Tangerine Tyrant claiming it was a miss-fired Iranian missile.... however, nowadays our lack of reliance of 'official' information has led to a clear set of evidence that refutes the US claim & emphasises that it was a US munition that hit the school in Minab.
Looks like a war crime from here!

Today begins the 2-weeks of spring calendar chaos created by George W. Bush and perpetuated by every US president unwilling to end daylight saving time.

Fascinating comment on AI regulation from Elissa Slotkin of all people, who received $10 million — the second-most support — from crypto PACs in 2024.

The Tangerine Tyrant may be being advised that sending in troops to Iran ('boots on the ground') will be welcomed by a population wanting salvation.... but experience tells us:
the advisors saying this are unlikely to actually know (and indeed may have reasons of their own for wanting US troops in the country);
the population may not universally welcome a US invasion, especially when we look at a century or more of US-Iran relations.
Things could be about to get even worse!

As the Tangerine Tyrant announces an alliance of South American countries (excluding Mexico, Brazil & Columbia) to facilitate more direct involvement by the US military across the continent to attack drug cartels & their networks, as well as continuing to threaten some sort of intervention in Cuba.... I think its fair to say that anyone who took Trump at his word that he would be avoiding foreign wars & would be a Peace President might rightly feel (at the least) misled!
The Clash of Hypocrisies: As Washington abandons any pretense of a just global order, citizens around the world will continue to demand one.
"The mask of international cooperation supported a hypocritical system in which powerful nations routinely broke the rules. Yet these same nations needed to justify their violations through moral acrobatics that, paradoxically, reinforced the system’s values"
