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.

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.

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.

California tops the list with 34 such cities, Texas has 33, and Florida 25, while Pennsylvania trails with only Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Allentown. The differences come down to state laws on incorporation and annexation: Southern states like Texas and Florida encouraged growth through easy expansions and new cities to grab tax bases, while Pennsylvania's rules keep cities compact and prevent sprawl. People noted that these legal boundaries don't always match everyday urban life, where metro areas like Houston's 7 million residents spread across many independent municipalities.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

A simple map shading states by their count of cities over 100,000 residents has people rethinking what makes a city 'big' in America.

The footage from September 18, 2008, shows Sanders labeling corporate-backed free trade a right-wing ideology that lets companies close American plants, fire workers with solid wages and benefits, and reopen in places like China for tariff-free imports. It gained traction on Friday amid the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling that Trump exceeded his authority under a 1977 emergency law for broad reciprocal tariffs, invalidating many but sparing some on China. Replies highlight perceived Democratic hypocrisy, while Sanders has consistently opposed deals like NAFTA and backed targeted tariffs on low-wage nations—drawing a line at Trump's blanket approach, which he says raises consumer prices and skips Congress.
