New: Trump called crypto "thin air." Last year, he reported $1.4 billion in income from it. Buyers of his crypto? They're an estimated $4.7 billion underwater. I made an 8-bit game out of it— 📈 Play as Trump: you cannot lose money. 📉 Play as an investor: you cannot win.

Winning the presidency is a heck of a tax strategy. The IRS has previously taken issue with charitable deductions Trump pursued after giving up development rights on golf courses. Now he's president, with the power to appoint those who might otherwise scrutinize him.

Horrific #thread on corruption.

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

I think we should go all in on this. Put the Super Bowl on a Wednesday morning. I’m sick of watching sports on my own time. Championships should play by World Cup/Olympics rules: Unless you’re performing surgery, they preempt work.

And then he stiffed them!

Meta suspended @nokingscoalition.bsky.social’s account for over an hour during one of the largest protests in U.S. history. Democratic AGs are demanding answers.

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Phone banking earlier today at a bench by the Green Line reminded me of the parody poem "Oh the Places You Will Phone Bank" I started writing:

10 years ago today, Trump’s DC hotel opened. It taught him people will pay a sitting president, and there will be no repercussions. Want to understand the second term’s corruption? Start with the hotel:

NWSL Championship ads are up at Metro Center

XX|XY are listed sponsors of the anti-trans sex verification initiative in Washington. The @thornsfc.com organization fucked up so badly letting these loud and proud bigots cross state lines to promote their own hateful agenda. #BAONPDX ballotpedia.org/Washington_I...

Emily Murphy ... man she was an underrated villain of Trump I

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

“Parliament had turned over its constitutional authority to Hitler and thereby committed suicide, though its body lingered on in an embalmed state.” Shirer, William L. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (p. 331)

A federal judge. Where we are as a country.

Thinking a lot about 2019 when a House committee subpoenaed Trump Hotel DC financial statements from GSA, the GSA chief did not comply—and there were no consequences. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

IF you do it on an unprecedented scale & have an army of lawyers.

Ignoring copyright law pays quite well! 🤑 Ownership stakes of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei are worth $13.6 billion. 🤑 President and chairperson Daniela Amodei's (Dario's sister) shares are worth $13.7 billion. estimates via Matt Durot for @forbes.com

For the “don’t impeach because ‘28 crowd”

That's a staggering amount--and so far, it has been raking in enough cash to be able to pay for its data center leases and GPUs. Whether it can keep doing so as it massively scales up its buildout remains to be seen.

Anthropic filed its much-anticipated S-1 filing today. I dug into the numbers for @forbes.com, and it reveals some $1 trillion in spending over the next two decades on AI compute and data centers. www.forbes.com/sites/giacom...

yahoo, indeed

🚨 Trump Media CEO (inadvertently) acknowledges the inherent conflict of a US president's involvement with a publicly traded company—

“Last Ditch, a Bar Whose Mask Policy Tore It Apart, Will Close” 🎁🔗 Mark Arsenault for @nytimes.com

Worth a quick read, then a longer one. @whipkclark.bsky.social I hope you're paying attention.

in conclusion holy shit I’ve been doing this for 10 years

Ramaswamy’s ad aimed to enforce the stigma against rape victims that positions them as objects of suspicion and disgust at worst, patronizing pity at best. The Acton campaign now has to pitch a rape victim as something audiences aren’t used to imagining them being: competent, capable, and dignified.

See what Trump has accomplished since— namely making $1.4 billion off crypto last year, while buyers are down an estimated $4.8 billion. Play "'Thin Air,' Real Money"

My report on the hotel opening—for Fox News of all places: (We were all so young!) And this quote aged beautifully— “'Today's a metaphor for what we can accomplish in this country,' Trump said."

Also— 💰️ $8,000: the room rate for Jan 6, 2021. And Trump got it. Hotel manager claimed they set room service records that week. 💰️ $415: the average room rate at downtown D.C. luxury hotels on Jan. 6

Some hotel-related numbers:— 💰️ 33: Foreign govt's with representatives spotted at the hotel 💰️ 29: Members of Trump’s cabinet spotted at the hotel (out of 38) 💰️ 36: Senators spotted at the hotel or whose campaigns spent money there (all GOP except Manchin)

Pretty grim footnote to West's career that he ended up serving the richest man in the world's successful attempt to restore white nationalism to the US government.

This emoluments lawsuit includes a citation to an article I wrote at @forbes.com —

I still remember how José Andrés battled to not have his restaurant there. Still a strong example of standing up to Trump (and has continued to) that far too few others replicated.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Powerus, drone company partly owned by Don Jr. and Eric Trump, hired Leah Lunger as chief accounting officer. As Red Cat CFO, she certified a 10-K that shareholders allege misled. Their 2025 suit says she made ~$5M selling stock while price was inflated. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
