Crypto drives people crazy. Not only this story, but the Jontay Porter descent into gambling and expulsion from the NBA also driven by crypto 'investments.'

His raise is literally the budget of a movie. They gave him the budget of a movie for being so good at not releasing movies.

For all the depictions of Trump as some kind of man of vigor, it’s easy to forget that he spent pretty much every morning of his presidency lazing around in bed, watching cable news and tweeting angrily about it. I’m not kidding, you could follow it in real time.

Wow. The NY AG takes issue with the $175 mln collateral Trump has put down, arguing the account is still under his control and he could therefore withdraw the funds or swap out cash for stocks, for ex. And the AG also casts doubt over Knight's financial capacity. 'The Court…

NEW: SCOTUS Justices’ billionaire benefactors have an oft-overlooked means of peddling influence: amicus briefs.

In this week's Hack Watch, we share a new resource we hope journalists reporting on the Court will use: SupremeTransparency.org. therevolvingdoorproject.org/new-website-ta…

Three for four!

Don Snoreleone at it again. I’m actually curious wtf is going on here. Remember “executive time?” Is this some old rich guy shit, where he just hasn’t had to function before 11am in years or something? Or maybe off his meds?

Yes

We painted Romney as the out-of-touch vulture capitalist he was in 2012, and it worked. It'll be even easier this time. We just need to bust out the flamethrower and incinerate these clowns.

Dems at all levels. I beseech thee. For the love of Taylor Swift and all else that is holy. Please run on this, not on how much you hate immigrants and like Trump. Please.

Get the man behind this a $56 billion bonus!

It’s darkly funny to me that a pincer movement of MAGAns and leftists mock liberals for claiming the GOP works hand in glove with Russia, and then multiple conservative Republican dissenters are like “no it’s true, we’re lousy with Russian influence.”

Both my mother and aunt went to Barnard back when Columbia wouldn't allow women to attend. Despite that context... Both wildly surprising and deeply disappointing.

And as always, actual cancel culture is almost always right wing. See also Florida state government, USC, etc...

As a Columbia University alum and current adjunct lecturer, it's horrifying to see the university admin send in a police force (with a known record of brutality) to arrest students peacefully demonstrating.

If I were an Ivy League president I would simply not sic riot police on scores of nonviolent student protesters in a bid to impress Elise Stefanik. Elise Stefanik will never be impressed. Have some dignity.

I wish law enforcement responded to the Jan 6 insurrectionists the way they responded to peaceful protestors at Columbia University. But obviously the latter is a much worse threat to national security so it makes sense.
