crypto is for criminals and cunts
Jenn@jennburrill.bsky.social · 5h ago18 months of calls for investigations & holding people accountable & they have done nothing to actually do that - seriously the president now has his own Crypto bank to fund "pay to play" while he remains in office How much more corrupt can you get? 🤔
we have a generation of trickle down economics we can look at now, it should just be accepted truth at this point that it doesnt work and the people who implemented it should never work in politics or the financial sector ever again

I thank Connor for reporting. But I do wonder how press pool changed since 2025; the pool is YOUR (aka taxpayer) access to the president. It’s the connection between your questions and his answers.
Also notably, nothing about Hegseth’s purges came up in the 60 Minutes episode. Such as those detailed in today’s excellent @gregjaffe.bsky.social piece. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/14/u...

He really thinks if you run a deficit with another country, that represents a net loss. Sort of like … oh gosh, trying to think of an example here … ok wait, I’ve got a crazy one … it’s like running a casino, but where your expenses exceed your revenues. And then you have to file for bankruptcy.

It’s all identity politics, but since it’s largely white identity politics it’s fine and doesn’t count. It’s not something communist like police shouldn’t be able to get away with murder bsky.app/profile/chri...
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 17h agoThis is going to make me sound old and maybe a little nostalgic but it’s really striking how in the Trump era, no one even pretends to debate about policy anymore.
If you’re wondering why #KSSen might be in play, look no further than this clip of Democrat Adam Hamilton at his Kansas State Fair debate against Roger Marshall yesterday. @hamilton4kansas.bsky.social is quite the effective communicator, offering a Wizard of Oz analogy that everyone can understand.
We've had an attack on the Leipzig airport, and we've had death squads sent by Putin to Britain, to Germany and to other countries. I understand that nobody died this morning in that particular attack on the border, but it could easily have happened." - @radek-sikorski.bsky.social
it's not just disinformation, it's not just spying. We've had arson incidents in Poland, we've had attempts to bring down airlines in Lithuania, we've had an attempt to derail a moving train in Poland - they failed only through their incompetence.
FM Sikorski: "We are meeting on the day when Russia attacked locations right on the border of Poland, which is also the border of the European Union&the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Russia attacked with modernized drones equipped with jet engines& improved guidance components. 📹: hromadske

Rob Sand was at a tailgate with friends and in the stands with the fans, not making poser videos for social media with a Russian paid influencer with a long history of plagiarism and posting lies.
If MAGA wanted a Department of War instead of Defense, why not just call it the Environmental Reaping Agency? Why have the now ironic word "Protection" in the title if they're going to do stuff like this?

It's sad when one of the only voices in the culture still taking a stand against corporate corruption and domination is a mute chaotic cartoon coyote who communicates through limited signs, but it's a hell of a lot better than nothing! LOVED this movie

Democrats should be targeting crypto, as a Republican constituency, with the same zeal that Republicans targeted universities for being liberal-coded. But they won’t, because it might jeopardize the crumbs that industry throws their way.
If Democrats were serious they would go straight for the jugular of the crypto industry as soon as they take power. There’s public policy reasons to do this (name a non-crime use case), but also it cuts off a major artery for Republican support and corruption.
Tomas Hirst@tomashirstecon.bsky.social · yesterdayAnother clear and knowable downstream consequence of letting scammers get rich off crypto was that that money would boomerang back into politics in ways that were highly likely to try to skirt around fundraising laws and distort policy incentives.
