Republican Senator Dave McCormick bought up to $50,000 personally, and $100,000 through spouse, of the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, $BITB, on 02/26/2025. A week later, Trump announces the US crypto reserve. Unusual.

This. Everyone keeps saying Russia gained the most from Friday’s Oval Office spat—but the real power shift is toward Beijing. China remains the only nation that has advanced a tangible roadmap toward peace since the war began. Watch as they take the gauntlet in future negotiations.

President Trump’s understanding of power is arguably more in line with China’s vision of the world than any US president since the establishment of the UN in the wake of World War II. That shift is putting Chinese President Xi Jinping ahead in the global battle of ideas.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

On 2/14, US VP Vance dismissed concerns over Romanian election interference,“If your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn’t very strong to begin with.” This narrative presented in Munich is far from reality.

The Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate in Romania, Calin Georgescu has been arrested. Authorities raided him like the crook he is and found at least $10 million in cash and tickets to Moscow. He may have also bumped his head a little bit too.

Eric Adams and the Trump DOJ swear there was no deal. But in a little-noticed letter, his lawyers promise the mayor's full cooperation on "remov[ing] undocumented immigrants" — as long as there's no case hanging over this head. NEW from me at @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is a high-stakes gamble with seemingly little planning regarding the goals and proper execution. One has to wonder: does the risk outweigh the potential rewards? How exactly does the President plan to dismantle these attacks without appearing weak on the global stage to real adversaries?

The report is damning, but what stands out most is that Rep. Gaetz was allegedly procuring marijuana from his Capitol Hill office. It raises the question: was Rep. Gaetz ever under the influence while on the floor of Congress?

BREAKING—the report is out—"there is substantial evidence that Rep Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress”. www.cbsnews.com/news/matt-ga...

After more than a decade of civil war the regime of Bashar al-Assad has fallen. It will be interesting to see how Russia responds to maintain strategic ports in eastern Syria.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad boarded a plane and left Damascus for an unknown destination on Sunday, two senior army officers told Reuters, as rebels said they had entered the capital with no sign of army deployments reut.rs/3ORxDTn

This example perfectly illustrates the growing wealth inequality that is tearing apart the fabric of America.
