Bitcoin sitting on its biggest two-day gain since March 2, 2025, +11.1% since Tuesday. The 2025 move was on the US crypto reserve announcement, this time it's a Trump meeting with the industry and optimism around the Clarity Act which is awaiting Senate approval (haven't followed its prognosis tbh)

Would love to get a whole series of these. “Donald Trump aide Natalie Harp encouraged Trump to use antisemitism as a pretext to destroy universities.”

perfect synopsis of modern Republicanism

“.. It’s bonkers that a defense secretary would involve his wife .. sharing details of an impending military operation, and face zero consequences,” said John Ullyot, who left the Pentagon .. after three months working under Mr. Hegseth ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/08/19/s...

This reports WH sources saying that Natalie Harp eventually “received the clearance,” but it doesn’t ever say that she actually cleared the background check www.ms.now/news/trump-a...

Trump aide Natalie Harp worked at the White House without security clearance for a year

The close aide to the president, known to filter much of the information reaching the commander-in-chief, ultimately relented in recent months after pressure from White House staff.

This is Jose Mejia Hernandez. He is 4'11, 125 pounds. It wasn’t until today — more than a week since he was first hospitalized, that he finally received an MRI. He has been shuffled around. His attorney told me "We waited in the hospital for four hours today.”

Brandi Buchman@brandibuchman.bsky.social · 18h ago

NEW: Why ICE agents were chasing him is unclear — Mejia Hernandez did not have a removal order at the time of the alleged assault. "We think this is just a case of a brown man caught walking down the street," his attorney told me. More inside for @huffpost www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-de...

ICE agent testifies about how he targeted people: "They're not doing nothing bad. They're just hanging." Q: "Where?" ICE: "Street, store, gas station, anywhere..." Q: "What do they look like?" ICE: "Hispanic males." Can't go anywhere as a Hispanic man in ICE's America.

DHS secretly spied on anti-ICE protestors—extensive and likely illegal under 1A, as @gregsargent.bsky.social shows. That’s quite bad. And the regime used up limited capacity chasing conspiracy theories that result in no charges and failing to cow protestors. That’s good. Both. Such are the times.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · yesterday

Trump's covert surveillance of anti-ICE protesters is much worse than we thought. I dug into this and found that DHS agents secretly spied on over a dozen meetings of left-leaning groups, all protected by First Amendment. The details are unnerving. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2144...
