BREAKING — Disgraced former Vice President Mike Pence and his top aides Olivia Troye and Marc Short are in serious legal trouble after being criminally implicated in the classified documents espionage case involving John Bolton. Pence is accused of being the main White House leaker during Trump’s first term, using his staff to leak top secret information he thought would hurt Trump to the mainstream media, which now has them all facing potential Espionage Act violations. The Fly was right all along — there were rats and moles deep inside President Trump’s inner circle the whole time. This is more proof the swamp never stopped trying to destroy Trump from within. @AmericaPulseNew Drop a comment if you want to see Pence and his cronies go to prison for their treasonous crimes and repost this everywhere so every American sees what really happened. #PenceTreason# #DeepStateExposed# #TrumpWasRight# #MAGA# #AmericaFirst# #Trump#

Andddd we’re back at it! Starting off the South American leg of The Eras Tour in Argentina = best decision possible. I can’t even express my gratitude to the Buenos Aires crowds. I’d never been to Argentina before and they gave us the most electric, magical memories. Thanks to the amazing fans whose show was postponed Friday for coming back Sunday and blowing us away with your passion and excitement. See you next weekend, Rio!! 💋🩵🔜 📷: @marceloendelli / @GettyImages

The CLARITY Act nearly died Thursday morning. Negotiations between Republicans and Democrats collapsed Wednesday night after talks stalled over changes to the BRCA, which protects noncustodial software developers from money transmitter prosecution. Thursday morning, the five pro-crypto Democrats met in Warner's office to strategize. "Members were still hashing it out as late as 10:29 a.m." The hearing started at 10:30. The deal came together in the ante room right after Warren's opening statement. Senators Tillis, Lummis, Alsobrooks, and Gallego struck a last-minute compromise while GOP aides handwrote draft amendments and rushed printed materials to members in real time. One staffer called it "chaotic and unprecedented." The compromise removed BRCA-referencing language from Section 301, which DeFi advocates say could weaken developer protections. Other revisions authorized banks to engage in digital asset activities, banned insider trading on ancillary assets, and preserved state consumer protection laws. The bill passed 15-9. Both Democratic yes votes made clear their support doesn't carry to the floor. Gallego: "My vote here does not guarantee a vote on the floor." The bill now gets merged with the Senate Agriculture Committee text before a full Senate vote.
