NEWS: In 2019, the Trump DOJ took over New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch — telling the state to stand down and turn over its findings. According to officials and newly unsealed records, the probe soon fizzled after the federal takeover. Link to NYT reporting in reply.

(a) Prohibition. A registered entity shall not list for trading or accept for clearing on or through the registered entity any of the following:

(1) An agreement, contract, transaction, or swap based upon an excluded commodity, as defined in Section 1a(19)(iv) of the Act, that involves, relates to, or references terrorism, assassination, war, gaming, or an activity that is unlawful under any State or Federal law; or

(2) An agreement, contract, transaction, or swap based upon an excluded commodity, as defined in Section 1a(19)(iv) of the Act, which involves, relates to, or references an activity that is similar to an activity enumerated in § 40.11(a)(1) of this part, and that the Commission determines, by rule or regulation, to be contrary to the public interest.

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States. snyder.substack.com/p/why-attack...

We're no more than a few hours away from the next phase of digital propaganda: unverified videos of "liberated people celebrating" will go viral. Many of these videos will later be revealed to have predated the illegal war, or be entirely unrelated to current events Upshot: verify before amplifying

That's the plan, and to the extent the Trump admin even wanted to help (they don't), they illegally dismantled the mechanisms for it, like USAID. It would've served our strategic interests greatly for millions of Iranians to see boxes and crates of vital supplies with U.S. flags on them. Oh well.

Trump takes credit for lower crime rates in Washington, DC after sending federal troops last year. Fact check: Since peaking in 2023, D.C. violent crime fell in 2024, before Trump took office, and has continued to fall at similar rates before and after federal intervention.
