James Comer spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying and failing to prove that there was a policy connection between Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014 and his VP dad. But Comer won’t spend a day or a dollar investigating this.

BONUS RULING: Judge Thomas Johnston, a George W. Bush appoiintee in West Virginia, used a recent ruling to warn of the dangers of defying due process for immigrants because of what it could also mean for Americans. It's worth a read.

Between its own wallets and its users’ accounts, Binance holds approximately 87% of all USD1 in circulation—roughly $4.7 billion of the $5.4 billion total supply.

That's the highest concentration at any third-party exchange among the top 10 stablecoins by market cap.

It's not even close.

Trump's Treasury Dept. dropped its case against Binance last year—just days after it first listed USD1.

Trump later pardoned Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao.

I find the apathy about Trump’s wholesale corruption - by US and overseas institutions- among the most perturbing indicators about our current era.

My favorite part of that “Don’t Be A Panican” press release the White House issued yesterday is this sentence “These wins aren’t happening by accident—they come after President Trump lodged the most productive first year of a presidential term in modern history—and aren’t happening by accident.”

It will surprise y’all to hear that there are no “Muslims taking over the state” and there is no “sharia law” in Texas that threatens anyone.

This is genuinely disgusting.
