Don Trump startled shipping companies and foreign governments earlier this week by announcing that the US would be charging a 20% toll for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Don had publicly embraced the idea of a tolled future for the Strait, a proposal he had previously sought China’s help to prevent.

The Heritage Foundation gang of parasites which runs the show — Buskirk, Mercer, Adelson, Lutnick, and the Thiel/Ellison/Winklevoss/Epstein cryptoscum; with the Kushner/Mnuchin/Bessent/Epstein hedgefund hoodlums) — and which installed the sneering orange puppet is always about profit and advantage, always at the expense of people and security. Always.

i would say that the rich use the bigots to get in power and stay in power, and the bigots use the rich to abuse minorities

the transaction is:

1. i, the #bigot, don't mind being robbed, as long as you abuse minorities

2. i, the #plutocrat, don't mind abusing minorities, as long as i keep my rent seeking parasite existence

the plutocrat-bigot political axis is real

The right to strike is constitutionally protected — a new Senate report is looking for a workaround

https://theconversation.com/the-right-to-strike-is-constitutionally-protected-a-new-senate-report-is-looking-for-a-workaround-286014

A Senate committee is recommending a permanent tribunal that could ban strikes in federally regulated industries. The proposal would gut constitutional protections workers won in court.

"An up-to-date tally of Trump followers turned crypto investors is in. And for them, the overall results are remarkably bad.

Nearly 1 million people who bought President Trump’s memecoin have lost money through the end of June, according to a report by the cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen. Their losses total $3.81 billion.

The analytics firm’s assessment was calculated this week after Mr. Trump signed an annual financial disclosure showing that he walked away with a $636 million payout on the same crypto bet, part of a haul of at least $2.2 billion from all of his business ventures in 2025.
(...)

Most crypto transactions are publicly visible, recorded on a digital ledger called the blockchain. That allows analysts to trace purchases of digital coins from individual crypto accounts, known as wallets. Nansen’s data shows that, as of the end of June, 988,905 buyers of the $TRUMP memecoin have lost money, representing roughly two out of every three buyers.

Cumulatively, these 988,905 wallets have lost a total of $3.81 billion, including buyers who have held on to their stash and recorded paper losses, according to Nansen. The coin was trading at $1.76 as of Friday, down 97 percent from its peak price of $75.35."

“President Donald Trump’s most recent financial disclosure reveals that he earned more than $1.4 billion in income from his cryptocurrency businesses alone last year. These crypto-related ventures account for more than half of the $2.2 billion in income Trump reported overall, through an unprecedented self-enrichment scheme that has made him and members of his family fabulously wealthy while investors who bought into his projects have lost money hand over fist. Forbes most recently estimated Trump’s personal net worth at $6.5 billion, a staggering increase from his estimated $2.3 billion valuation as a private citizen in 2024.

The bulk of the crypto windfall came from Trump’s two primary crypto ventures. He brought in $635 million thanks to a licensing agreement with “Celebration Coins” — likely an erroneous reference to Celebration Cards LLC, one of the firms in the web of companies responsible for the $TRUMP memecoins. Another $529 million came via sales of World Liberty Financial’s $WLFI token, whose buyers are not named in the disclosure but include crypto billionaire Justin Sun.

The filing also reports more than $260 million from equity sales in Stablecoin Holdco LLC and WLF Holdco LLC, both entities in the World Liberty Financial tangle of companies.”
