The SEC historically fought to protect investors, but now it's retreating in #crypto cases against #Coinbase, #Binance, #Kraken. Why? Industrt spent $200+ million in contributions during the 2024 election to buy enough political influence to get the cases stopped. bettermarkets.org/newsroom/fac...

DC Metro police is still being cagey. But based on their new statement their role in evicting the staff of the US Institute of Peace considerably worse than I'd suspected.
