Krugman, who has made no secret of his contempt for cryptocurrencies (or for Trump and Trumpism), argues their rise is inextricably linked with the Trump administration's raft of friendly policies and actions toward crypto investors and exchanges. That includes calling for the creation of a government Bitcoin reserve, as well as signing an executive order in August to allow U.S. citizens to invest retirement savings in cryptocurrency, as well as other alternative assets.

At the top of the page, the text reads: Misleading. Biased. Exposed. The feature names the Boston Globe, CBS News and the Independent as media offenders of the week, accusing them of inaccurately portraying Trump's remarks about six Democratic lawmakers who released of video encouraging military members to not follow illegal orders. The controversy arose after Trump accused Democrats of seditious behavior, punishable by death on social media. He also reposted a statement including the words: hang them.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a longtime Trump ally who recently split with the president, made headlines last week by announcing her plans to resign in January. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a Trump critic, told Axios he nearly resigned over the Trump administration's 28-point peace plan for the Russia-Ukraine war. "I have made the decision, after conversations with my beautiful bride and my girls over the Thanksgiving holiday, to focus on my family and return home after this Congress," Nehls said in a statement.

Trump still favors a negotiated exit for Maduro and plans to speak privately with the Venezuelan dictator, a U.S.-branded "narcoterrorist" with a Justice Department bounty on his head. But Trump - whom a U.S. official described as the administration's biggest hawk on this issue - also has authorized CIA covert operations inside Venezuela and reserved the option to order land strikes at any time.

SW: Yuri, Yuri, here's what I would do. My recommendation. YU: Yes, please. SW: I would make the call and just reiterate that you congratulate the president on this achievement, that you supported it, you supported it, that you respect that he is a man of peace and you're just, you're really glad to have seen it happen. So I would say that. I think from that it's going to be a really good call.

I hope the visit of President Zelensky will take place as soon as possible, because ... it will be help President Trump to continue his historical mission to end this war. Because [Trump] can say: 'Look, this is confirmed and agreed, our position with the Ukrainians. We support it, and we continue now to speak with the Russians.'

I don't want to hear any politicians call each other fascists, authoritarians, wannabe-dictators, communists none of that kind of rhetoric anymore. It's all dead, because if you call someone that, and then turn around and say, But I'm willing to work with them, it looks hypocritical. And there is no such thing as working with uh fascists. That's not how fascism works. Fascism isn't a normal political disagreement.

The Republican Party is increasingly at war with itself, which doesn't bode well for its effort to prevent another election-day wipeout like it experienced earlier this month in off-year elections in New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia and California. Republicans ostensibly won the government shutdown fight, but they did so by blocking an extension of broadly popular tax credits under the Affordable Care Act. Millions of Americans now face spiking health care premiums, and the president's party is splintered over how to respond.

Although they did not specify which orders might be illegal, Trump has come under fire for sending the US military into American cities for poorly defined reasons, including amid peaceful protests against a massive and aggressive deportation campaign. Seditious behavior, punishable by death! Trump responded in a post on Truth Social. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be arrested and put on trial. He also reposted a message from another user reading: Hang them George Washington would!
