Blumenthal: Tether is a crypto company that has a stablecoin known as USDT, and it is the major means of Iran avoiding and evading sanctions. What we’ve also exposed is that Cantor Fitzgerald has a major financial tie. Cantor Fitzgerald was owned by Howard Lutnick. It’s still run by his family.

This is now a standard part of Trump's campaign stump, a direct threat to voters: if you elect Democrats, I won't send you FEMA money, and I may take away your Medicare and Medicaid, too. These transcripts will be useful for litigation to follow.

Federal immigration goons use their vehicles to confront a crowd of demonstrators protesting ICE in Tacoma, in what eyewitnesses say was an attempt by the suspected Feds to intimidate them. You can see the crowd stand their ground, and the goons drive off.

There are eerie parallels between what’s happening in Irkutsk and what happened in Wuhan in early 2020. Doctors claiming the government was hiding the extent of the spread. Masks being mandated. Schools being closed. Pay attention. Listen to independent journalists & locals:

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.
nytimes.com
National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress (Gift Article)
The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

The Buffalo Bills - singlehandedly healing international rifts.
Buffalo,
we could hear you singing from here.
At your home opener, many of you stood up and sang O Canada. What a moment.
Us Canadians sang along, from the stadium, in sports bars, and on couches across the country.
Then you put it on billboards across Southern Ontario. We're still singing it, you said. We be lieved you.
Well, we want to return the feeling.
On Saturday, October 3rd, the sky over Niagara Falls will go red, white and blue in Buffalo Bills colours.
You're invited. Come across the bridge, find a spot along the river and soak it all in. We'll be right there with you.
We've shared this river a long time. We share the view, the mist, a lot of family, and even more Bills games. Thanks for being a neighbour.
