…Since arriving at the White House, #Trump & appointees have curtailed #regulatory #oversight of the industry,
including policies related to #memecoins.
…Despite the cratering prices, Trump has faced few consequences from his ventures, because federal regulators have largely abandoned #crypto enforcement.
…the #SEC announced in February 2025 that it will no longer scrutinize #memecoin deals.
…Nicholas Pinto is among the losers. A frequent #crypto trader who voted for #Trump in 2024, Mr. Pinto said he invested a total of roughly $500,000 in the $TRUMP coin, & has now lost about half that investment.
“He is leveraging the power of being president to launch currencies, when he seems trustworthy in the public’s eye,” Mr. Pinto said in an interview. “It is kind of incredible. It is almost a legal scam.”
boosted#Trump #fearmongering on #IndependenceDay eve
Trump called on Americans to protect the freedoms he thinks the nation's founders envisioned 250 years ago against what he has portrayed as the "communist" threat posed by progressive Democrats, speaking on July 3rd at Mount Rushmore.
"There is now a resurgence of the communist menace in our land, including from newcomers to our country who embrace ideas totally opposed to our way of life & our great success," he said.
The firm’s assessment was calculated this week after #Trump signed an annual financial disclosure showing that he walked away with a $636 million payout on the same #crypto bet, part of a haul of at least $2.2 billion from all of his business ventures in 2025.
The odds were always in his favor. Trump profited whether the price went up or down. He collected returns whenever anyone traded the tokens, as he repeatedly pushed his followers to do, using Truth Social [& the presidency] to promote it.
An up-to-date tally of #Trump followers turned #crypto #investors is in. And for them, the overall results are remarkably bad.
Nearly 1 million people who bought Trump’s #memecoin have lost money through the end of June, according to a report by the #cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen. Their losses total $3.81 billion.
Nearly a Million #Investors Lost a Total of $3.8 Billion on #Trump #Crypto Coin

As #Trump rebrands DC festivities as a "spectacular Trump rally," broadcasters should look elsewhere to celebrate the #UnitedStates’ 250th.
As with so much in DC, Trump took over. His effort to rebrand the Washington, DC, events, provides #media & #news outlets an opportunity to instead look around the rest of the country — so do it.
Ignore the Trump rally.
As an example, PBS will turn to Williamsburg, Virginia, instead of DC.

had to scour #weather apps to find service providers that don’t rely on #NOAA. found a couple that use #Norway’s weather service.
so am putting a call out for #Brasil #Chile #Canada #Mexico #France #Spain #Germany #weather app developers: if you use your countries’ weather services, i beg you to add them to @fdroidorg
and to those governments: PLEASE OPEN YOUR APIs & DON’T GEOBLOCK USERS

"Professor fired over #CharlieKirk post could receive $1.9M in settlement."
https://thehill.com/homenews/education/5948386-professor-fired-over-charlie-kirk-post-could-receive-1-9m-in-settlement
This is just the latest in a series. Universities that disciplined professors for criticizing Charlie Kirk knew or should have known that they were violating those professors' free-speech rights. But they did it to align themselves with the Trump admin, even on the wrong side of the law. Consider these settlements and damage awards to be a cowardice tax.

A little sum up cause what the heck..
#Trump wanted to take over the comission created to celebrate the US 250 bday but failed in that so he setup a shadow company with the name "Freedom 250"
He send out the CEO of that company to rake in funds from other countries to shape America's 250's bday, they mislead donors by making them believe they donated to America's 250 but instead it went to Trump's shadow company Freedom 250
And the fair is now falling apart because of all money grabbing

E. Jean Carroll Beat Trump. Again.
"As Republican politicians cower in fear, abandoning every principle they ever claimed to hold dear out of fear that Trump will use his cult-like hold over his voters to push them out of office, one incredibly brave woman stood up to the man who assaulted her. She did this with full knowledge that he would use every bit of firepower he could muster to destroy her.
And she won."
