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.

Leavitt's February 24 remark, made more than 13 months after Trump's January 20, 2025 inauguration, prompted widespread online pushback over the timeline, with critics calling it a gaffe and tying ongoing high prices to Trump's tariffs. Defenders said it referred to lingering Biden-era policies like inflation from 2021-2024 and regulatory burdens. The clip highlighted partisan divides on affordability, a top voter issue, as inflation sits at 2.4% but grocery, housing, and energy costs stay elevated amid policy shifts like tariffs averaging 13% by late 2025.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

During a Fox News interview, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump would address the 'affordability crisis that Joe Biden created one year ago'—just hours before his State of the Union.

Syria's Interior Ministry confirmed a large breakout last month after Syrian Democratic Forces withdrew ahead of government arrival on January 20, finding 138 breaches in the perimeter fence and far fewer than the reported 23,500 residents. The SDF countered by accusing Damascus factions of attacks that forced their exit, claiming government forces then released families under ministry watch. U.S. Central Command saw no escapes beforehand, while estimates put those who fled at 15,000 to 20,000, now scattering across the region as the now-nearly-empty camp highlights tensions in post-Assad Syria.

A YouGov survey of over 1,000 U.S. adults from February 10-13 revealed 50% support for D.C. statehood and 48% for Puerto Rico, compared to just 27% for Greenland and 24% for Canada. Partisan splits stand out: Democrats strongly favor D.C. and Puerto Rico but oppose the others, while Republicans lean against D.C. and Puerto Rico yet show more openness to Greenland. The findings highlight ongoing debates over representation for tax-paying areas without full congressional votes, amid hurdles like stalled bills and Republican control of Congress.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Imagine paying federal taxes without a voting senator—that's the daily reality for D.C. residents, and a new poll finds most Americans want to change it for them and Puerto Rico.
