Corruption 101—happening in real time:

Binance helped the Trump family's stablecoin market capitalization go from $127 million to over $2.1 billion.

Then, Trump gave Binance's founder, Changpeng Zhao, the pardon he paid for and the company promoted Trump's crypto a week later.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) actually told the press that Democrats would be the ones hurt most by losing SNAP.

To be fair, since he lives in Florida instead of the state he represents, maybe he doesn’t realize 752,000 Alabamians rely on SNAP—14.6% of the state’s population.

ICE is struggling to hire officers — even after lowering its standards. DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers — but it's not getting nearly enough applicants.

It looks like most Americans simply don’t want to be ICE thugs.
