Thanks 60 Minutes for covering this story. This is blatant corruption by the Trump administration.
An Emirati investment fund used a Trump-family cryptocurrency in a $2 billion deal. The cryptocurrency had been on the market for five weeks. The Emiratis tell 60 Minutes they chose World Liberty crypto for “business suitability.” cbsn.ws/4r3epvX

On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

In April the Trump administration cut 2 billion from Harvard. “Universities' research makes life better, massively so. Why would you want to cripple it?” Good question.
Alyssa Tapley was 13 when doctors told her she was going to die.
She was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia and had endured a year of failed treatments, including chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, when her doctors said they had run out of options. cbsn.ws/47xc0lB

Potentially lifesaving advances at risk when federal funding to universities is cut, researchers say
Federal research funds are at risk as the White House pushes policy changes at universities. Researchers warn the cuts put breakthroughs in medicine, technology and national defense at risk.

This has become our norm. How far our society has fallen.
Trump in 2023 amplified a video from a QAnon-promoting account that baselessly claimed that Dick Cheney was involved with planning 9/11 (9/11 trutherism is near universal in the QAnon community).

The CDC is now run by political appointees but many scientists are gathering on their own to carry on vital public health initiatives like the importance of vaccinations.
"Riding the escalators down was a bit like entering a concrete bunker. And that felt fitting, given the circumstances." This yearly public health conference feels like a form of resistance now.
