Torres: It demonstrates that Trump is not pro-crypto, he’s not pro-blockchain—he’s not even pro-Web3. I doubt he could define any of those terms. He is simply pro-Trump. The only ideology Trump has is himself. His presidency exists to enrich him and his family, and crypto is just a means to that end

The sledgehammer approach is madness. America is not a company you can strip for parts.
A tweet from Rep. Jason Crow. The tweet includes a photo of Rep. Jason Crow and text that reads: "Americans are going to die because of Trump's cuts to the National Institutes of Health research. There's a way to reform government and improve efficiency - but taking a hammer to life-saving Alzheimers, ALS, and cancer research is not it."
Below the tweet, there is an image of a news broadcast from MSNBC titled "PROBATIONARY PURGE" with the following text: "NOTICE GIVEN AT: Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Education, U.S. Forest Service, Energy Department, Office of Personnel Management, Small Business Administration, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, General Services Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Nuclear Security Administration." The broadcast is part of "TRUMP'S FIRST 100 DAYS" with the headline "FIRINGS OF FEDERAL WORKERS EXPANDS TO MORE AGENCIES."

Enforcing discrimination and hate through economic coercion. Despicable.
Screenshot of a tweet from 'No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen' stating that Trump issued an executive order defunding public schools that accommodate transgender students. The tweet claims teachers will be banned from using a transgender student's desired name or pronouns, with budgets at risk of being defunded if they do not comply. The image includes a photo of Donald Trump sitting in a suit with his hand on his chin, next to an empty classroom with desks and chairs.

Screenshot of a tweet from 'DataRepublican (small r)' claiming that an $83 million grant was allocated for STD prevention in Gaza, referencing a misspelling in the award grant ('INGAZA'). Below the tweet, a 'Readers added context' note clarifies that the grant is actually for AIDS/HIV prevention in Mozambique, not Gaza. The description refers to services in 'Gaza and Inhambane,' which are neighboring provinces in Mozambique, and provides links to relevant sources.
