#Trump officials have directed staff at #NationalParks to review all items in gift shops for *anti-American* content, according to an internal directive reviewed by The Washington Post.

#cryptocurrency industry, which had long been viewed with suspicion by lawmakers in Washington, on the brink of a major policy breakthrough.

The *GENIUS Act*, followed an aggressive lobbying campaign aimed at transforming cryptocurrency’s image from #scandal-plagued experiment to *legitimate* financial sector.

#TulsiGabbard left no doubt when she testified to #Congress about Iran’s #nuclear program earlier this year.
#Iran was not building a nuclear weapon, the national #intelligence director testified, & its supreme leader had not reauthorized the dormant program even though it had enriched uranium to higher levels.

But #Trump dismissed the intelligence assessment…
“I don’t care what she said,” Trump told reporters. In his view, Iran was “very close” to having a #NuclearBomb.
