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.

Mac Donald's February 24 post argued the Ferguson effect—where post-2014 protests led police to ease proactive work, spiking homicides in black communities—remains real and ignored by media.

Critics dispute the link to protests, citing other factors like economics, while recent 2024-2025 drops in crime add nuance to the ongoing discussion on policing and reporting.

On Saturday, the United States and Israel conducted joint airstrikes dubbed Operation Epic Fury and Roaring Lion, hitting sites near Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's compound in Tehran, plus Isfahan, Shiraz, Tabriz, and more, to neutralize Iran's nuclear and missile threats after failed talks. Trump addressed the nation, calling them major combat operations, while Netanyahu praised the effort against a terrorist regime; Reza Pahlavi, son of Iran's last shah, labeled it a humanitarian intervention and called for uprisings. Iran retaliated with missiles and drones at Israel and U.S. bases across the Gulf, causing limited casualties, as reactions split from joy among some Iranians to international condemnations and partisan divides in the U.S.

The clip, shared on Friday, gathers moments from May to December 2021 where President Biden, Vice President Harris, Press Secretary Psaki, and Treasury Secretary Yellen downplayed rising costs, often citing Federal Reserve views. Inflation climbed from 1.4 percent when Biden took office to a 40-year peak of 9.1 percent in June 2022, fueled by supply chain issues, strong demand, energy shocks, and stimulus spending. While some blame administration policies like the American Rescue Plan, others note global pressures, with prices now steady near the Fed's 2 percent target by late 2025 after rate hikes brought it down from the peak.
