In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Pam Bondi dated Tuesday, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed requested an investigation by December 1 into World Liberty Financial's compliance with anti-money laundering rules, sanctions, and governance. The demand stems from a September report by Accountable.US alleging the project sold $WLFI governance tokens to wallets linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group, a Russian sanctions-evasion stablecoin, Iran's NoBitex exchange, and the sanctioned mixer Tornado Cash. DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.

A February 19 post claimed the couple is expecting their first child together, drawing over 21,000 likes, memes about their ages—Perry at 41, Trudeau at 53—and jokes from users like psychologist Gad Saad. Fact-checks confirm no evidence supports the pregnancy; the photo is real from Perry's vacation, but the caption is unverified rumor. Their relationship went public late last year with snaps from Tokyo and holidays, and sources say it's grown more serious since Trudeau stepped down as prime minister in 2025. Both have kids from prior marriages—Perry's daughter Daisy, 5, and Trudeau's three children—and they've stayed quiet amid the buzz.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

A cozy skiing selfie of Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau lit up feeds with wild baby rumors. But no announcements from either mean it's all just fun speculation.

On the New Statesman podcast, Dominic Sandbrook argued that 1950s and 1960s politicians like Harold Macmillan gained empathy from evening reads of 19th-century fiction, such as Trollope, unlike today's screen-filled nights. He suggested this 'hinterland' produced better leaders amid a shrill political landscape, a view echoed by Aaron Bastani and Michael Gove. Critics pointed to era flaws like the Suez Crisis and Soviet spies, questioning if reading alone ensured strong governance. The clip revives calls for leaders with depth beyond briefs.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Imagine prime ministers unwinding with Anthony Trollope novels instead of policy briefs or social media. Historian Dominic Sandbrook misses that era's reflective leaders.
