The full CBS interview with Trump about the pardon of Binance's Changpeng Zhao is shocking. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/read-full-transcript-norah-odonnell-60-minutes-interview-with-president-trump/

"Why did you pardon him?" "I have no idea who he is. I was told that he was a victim ... They sent him to jail and they really set him up. That's my opinion. I was told about it."

NORAH O'DONNELL: Looked at this, the government at the time said that C.Z. had caused "significant harm to U.S. national security", essentially by allowing terrorist groups like Hamas to move millions of dollars around. Why did you pardon him? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Okay, are you ready? I don't know who he is. I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that. And I heard it was a Biden witch hunt. And what I wanna do is see crypto, 'cause if we don't do it it's gonna go to China, it's gonna go to-- this is no different to me than AI. My sons are involved in crypto much more than I-- me. I-- I know very little about it, other than one thing. It's a huge industry. And if we're not gonna be the head of it, China, Japan, or someplace else is. So I am behind it 100%. This man was, in my opinion, from what I was told, this is, you know, a four-month sentence. But this man was treated really badly by the Biden administration. And he was given a jail term. He's highly respected. He's a very successful guy. They sent him to jail and they really set him up. That's my opinion. I was told about it. I said, "Eh, it may look bad if I do it. I have to do the right thing." I don't know the man at all. I don't think I ever met him. Maybe I did. Or, you know, somebody shook my hand or something. But I don't think I ever met him. I have no idea who he is. I was told that he was a v

The Boston Tea Party was about one person having unilateral power to impose tariffs (duties). The US was formed out of an opposition to this power and the US Constitution has specific language about it. It'd be quite a thing if the US Supreme Court undoes this founding principle. You might call that counterrevolutionary.

You need to be anti fascist.

Hating Trump isn't the same thing. That's little better than just blue maga.

Fascism is the problem, and it isn't going to just disappear when Trump is gone.

"In her book [Technofascism Survival Guide], [former cybersecurity professor Kim Crawley] claims that Silicon Valley’s fascist origins began with Stanford University eugencists in the 19th century, which continued through the explosion of the computer technology industry, and exists today in the form of Gen AI, law enforcement using the internet, phones, and smart devices for mass surveillance, and tech billionaires like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos being featured at Donald Trump’s second inauguration."

House Oversight Democrats have published a Web3 is Going Great-style “Trump Family Digital Grift” counter
https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/trump-family-corruption-tracker

This goes with their recent staff report, “Professionalized Corruption: How Donald Trump is abusing power and accepting digital kickbacks from foreign and criminal interests to cash in on the presidency like never before”

https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/imo/media/doc/12026cryptoreport.pdf

(The report cites my writing on Trump’s USD1 stablecoin, published here: https://www.citationneeded.news/issue-83/#trump-business-interests)

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics

Trump Family Digital Grift Profits $2,255,399,364.28
Total Trump Family Digital Grift Wealth $8,712,974,364.28
Trump Family Digital Grift Profits from Foreign Interests $437,004,026.96

While Americans struggle to buy groceries and pay rent, Donald Trump is making his family richer through digital grift schemes— collecting profits through digital wallets and granting pardons to the highest bidders.

While Trump and his family are using the White House to make billions, we are tracking every cent. As of January 2026, our Committee’s analysis shows that these schemes have contributed to an estimated $2.25 billion in realized profits for Trump from foreign payments, corrupt oligarchs, and others.

This total rises to as much as $9.7 billion when the value of Trump’s digital assets is factored in, with as much as $436 million coming from foreign interests. President Trump should be serving the American people—not his own pockets.

It's what they do, and the Media just 'both sides' it like a Government lying about the death squads is just normal politics.

Walz calls Homeland Security narrative of shooting 'lies'
Gov. Tim Walz criticized the narrative put out by the federal government about the
shooting.
“Thank God we have video,” Walz said. “Because according to DHS, these seven
heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them, or something.”
“It’s nonsense, and it’s lies,” Walz said. “This needs to be the event that says,
‘enough.”

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!

Slowly and deliberately. Originally published June 17, 2021

“ there is something far more sinister about these bills.

The real threat is that these bills are quietly setting Republicans up to steal the 2024 Presidential election after failing in 2020. There are steps being taken at all levels of government to make this a reality.”

Has anyone noticed that trump speaks with some features of the #Iowan accent? I don't think it's the accent exactly, more the cadence or enunciation maybe? I noticed this when listening to interviewees at the Iowa state fair.

I then discovered that the Iowan accent is considered the most friendly and wondered if he'd adopted this way of speaking purposefully. Fake like his tan, hair, height, weight etc.

Would love to get some opinions.

BDS is working:

Report: increasing boycotts see Israeli agricultural exports facing collapse.

Orders from Europe & Asia are drying up.

Major sectors—particularly tech & investment—are also suffering.

Consumer spending, too, has plummeted.

Economists warn the crisis may signal a longer-term unravelling of Israel’s global economic integration.

Due to the nature of my work, whether I show up for work today or not in solidarity with Minnesota changes almost nothing, but it does give me an avenue to say something so here's my email auto-reply.

"Organizations in Minnesota have called for a day of solidarity on January 30th to highlight what's happening there. As a show of support for the people of Minnesota and people everywhere risking their lives and livelihoods to defend my rights as an American, I'm offline today.

I hope those of you who are able are doing the same and if you'd like to take it a step further, here are some organizations I'm supporting who are delivering mutual aid, legal help, and press coverage you can donate to.

Trump offered to unfreeze funding for NYC tunnel (money that was already appropriated by Congress)

IF Dulles airport and train New York Penn train station are renamed after him...

🤔
So it's not just extortion, but super petty extortion.

"Raising the Flag" by Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Nick Anderson.

"There’s a particular kind of decision that doesn’t just change the law. It rewrites the story we tell ourselves about the country. The Supreme Court’s latest ruling on the Voting Rights Act is one of those decisions.

The court’s conservative majority didn’t simply narrow a statute. It made a far more sweeping claim: that the conditions that justified the law no longer exist."

Trump announced today that his new global tariffs are 15% after yesterday's Supreme Court ruling finding his broad IEEPA tariffs illegal.

He wants to keep his mob-boss strong-arming leverage!
