As I’ve been saying: “Hackers loot record-breaking $1.4 billion from Cryptocurrency Exchange!” Crypto is a con game! Never trade US dollars for crypto!

If you look closely, you’ll notice I’ve been wearing the same shirt on all my national appearances. This is not because I am a slovenly gamer (even though that’s what I am), it’s a very deliberate decision. This is the shirt.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Trump's Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, was accused in a 20-page letter to the FEC of working with Russian Intelligence Services in 2018. What's the breaking point, America? It is only a matter of time before the Russian flag is raised over our country.

Elon and other unvetted Trump enablers shouldn't have access to the entire nation's personal and financial data. Can my Republican colleagues acknowledge that? We're forcing a vote to block that access. Let's see where they land.

This is happening, right now. The great "arribada" (arrival) of mother Olive Ridley sea turtles on the Odisha coast, where they dig sand-nests & lay their eggs, driven by ancient instinct. Heart-lifting, magnificent, moving: part of a geography of hope. 🎞️ by Bivash Pandav via my friend Yuvan Aves.
