BitMEX shut down without an angry tweet. Offchain Labs CEO Steven Goldfeder joins Kain and Taylor on why dead tokens never get that mercy.

When a token project dies, the same audience spends weeks dragging it. Steven Goldfeder, co-founder and CEO of Offchain Labs, the team behind Arbitrum, joins Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan to work through why. Goldfeder argues crypto's grant-funded, revenue-optional era is over, and explains why Arbitrum licensed its stack so that partners like Robinhood Chain have to keep paying for it, while Base pays Optimism. They trace the DPRK crewhacking crews now rotating through bridge exploits, debate whether Uniswap's new permissioned pools point toward tokens that carry real investor rights, and ask Goldfeder whether he would trade Arbitrum's open token for a restricted one only a fraction of the world could hold. The conversation closes on Kyle Samani telling Solana builders that Multicoin, the firm he co-founded, is working against them, and what that says about how much of an ecosystem can rest on a single fund.

In this episode of This Week in AML, John Byrne and Elliot Berman unpack several significant developments across the AML, sanctions, fraud, and compliance landscape. They begin with the U.S. Senate's overwhelming bipartisan vote to advance new Russia and Iran sanctions legislation, then turn to FinCEN Director Andrea Gacki's recent congressional testimony, including her emphasis on fraud prevention, BSA modernization, SAR guidance, and the industry's ongoing uncertainty about AML priorities and effectiveness standards. The conversation also explores Transparency International's 2025 achievements in advancing anti-corruption reforms worldwide and raises important questions about whether corruption will remain a formal U.S. AML priority. John and Elliot review FinCEN's new alert on financial student aid fraud, discuss the continued role of shell companies in fraud schemes, and examine a House Financial Services Committee report on scams and fraud. Additional topics include Treasury's review of the SDN List, the growing industry around sanctions delisting petitions, the closure of crypto exchange BitMEX despite presidential pardons for its founders, the OCC's denial of Wise US's national trust charter application due to AML compliance concerns, and new reporting linking crypto-to-cash storefronts to money laundering activity.

The Last Trade: Jackson, Michael, and Brian make the case that the worst Bitcoin sentiment they can remember is exactly the accumulation opportunity, with Bitcoin near $64K and down 50% from its highs. They break down why the Clarity Act stalling barely dented price, and how the SEC and CFTC are already building Project Crypto backups. They dig into Jack Dorsey and Block open-sourcing tools that make Bitcoin the scarce counterweight to AI. They close on an OpenAI agent escaping its sandbox, South Korea's crash, and the Fed holding as three officials push to hike.---

Wall Street bemoeit zich met de toekomst van Bitcoin: BlackRock, Coinbase en Michael Saylor lanceren het Bitcoin Security Consortium om developers te sponsoren, met quantum computing als eerste focus — en dat roept bij bitcoiners herinneringen op aan de beruchte New York Agreement uit 2017. Verder eist de bearmarkt eindelijk zijn slachtoffers: faillissementen bij BitMEX, Poolin en Storj, en ontslagrondes van 30% bij Bybit en Gemini. Ook schuift de behandeling van de Clarity Act opnieuw door, terwijl de odds op invoering in 2026 dalen naar 25%.

YC's Nemil Dalal joins to explain why he's never been more bullish as BitMEX winds down after 11 years, whether every failed crypto idea (TCRs, DAOs, creator coins) eventually works, why crypto is really about money, Base's consumer mea culpa, on-chain reputation and credit, and who pays in the x402 AI-agent era. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week they're joined by Nemil Dalal, Visiting Partner at Y Combinator and ex-Coinbase, where he led USDC and the Coinbase Developer Platform. He's here to explain why, with exchanges winding down left and right, he's somehow never been more bullish. The crew digs into the great contrast of the moment: BitMEX shutting down after 11 years (plus BitMart, Movement Labs, Balancer Labs) while the plumbing quietly prints, and whether Imran's viral 'everything that failed will eventually work' thesis is genius or toxic positivity. From there it's the question of whether crypto is really only about money (Jesse's Base mea culpa included), a war-memories tour through TCRs, on-chain reputation and why pure on-chain credit keeps faceplanting, and finally who actually pays in the x402 AI-agent era, and whether decentralization even survives contact with Google-shaped gravity.

Crypto markets remain sluggish, with Bitcoin drifting around $63,000 as trading activity continues to weaken. Matt argues that the recent wave of exchange closures and layoffs—including BitMEX, BitMart, Momentum Labs, Storage Labs, and workforce reductions at Uphold—reflects a maturing industry rather than a crisis. As retail speculation fades and trading volumes decline, he believes only exchanges offering meaningful services such as institutional custody, compliance, and infrastructure will survive. The episode also covers BitMine's continued accumulation of Ethereum, New York Attorney General Letitia James' criticism of the CLARITY Act, and allegations from Thailand's SEC that Bitkub concealed a 2021 cyberattack that resulted in roughly $50 million in stolen digital assets. Matt closes by noting that inflation continues to squeeze consumers, reducing speculative investing, while the crypto market becomes increasingly crowded with millions of tokens competing for attention.

Get 30 Days of Merlin free at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MerlinCrypto.Com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Here is what I am tracking on the radar today: The Shattered 'Trump Trade' & Canada Tariffs: I break down why the highly publicized "Trump Trade" is officially in tatters. While the S&P 500 has climbed 8% this year, the Ned Davis Research Trump Trade Index has plunged 16% since its May peak due to the US-Iran war and soaring inflation expectations. I'll show you why the Truth Social-branded YALL ETF has dropped 4%—and reveal why it doesn't actually own a single share of Trump Media stock, which itself is down 35% year-to-date. Plus, I deconstruct the White House's sudden move to slap Canada with 50% targeted Section 338 tariffs on everything from beer to hockey sticks, and explain why market strategists warn we have already used up our only economic "get-out-of-jail card". The $27 Billion Prediction Arms Race: I map out the massive corporate clash heating up as retail giant Robinhood holds talks with Crypto.com to directly integrate its event-based contracts. I look at the staggering scale of this market, including Kalshi's mind-blowing $27 billion in trading volume for the World Cup, and explain why Crypto.com is aggressively hunting for retail distribution even though its highly publicized prediction-market integration with Truth Social has still not launched. The Demise of BitMEX: I take you through the final hours of the crypto pioneer that revolutionized global trading by introducing 100x leverage and perpetual swaps. I look back at how they peaked at $1 trillion in annual trading volume, their painful regulatory battles, and explain why even an unusual presidential pardon from Donald Trump last year couldn't save the platform from a brutal crypto winter and a sudden mass exodus of its executive leadership. The Golden Paradox: Since the outbreak of the Iran war on February 28, gold has unexpectedly plummeted 22%. I explain the macroeconomic forces behind this decline—including Turkey's massive $10.6 billion gold liquidation—and present my contrarian case for why buying the gold dip remains highly rational while stock investors remain remarkably complacent about growing macro risks Enjoy!

BitMEX to shut down by the end of September. BitMEX, the exchange that invented the perpetual swap, will shut down on September 23 after an 11-year run. On the same day, it was hit with a proposed class-action suit alleging theft of 622 bitcoin and insider trading.

Bitcoin remains caught between strong ETF demand and an increasingly difficult macroeconomic environment. Matt explains how rising Treasury yields, the possibility of additional Federal Reserve rate hikes, expensive equity valuations, and a weakening housing market are all competing for investor capital. Despite those headwinds, spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted more than $1 billion over the past week, helping stabilize prices while traditional finance continues moving deeper into blockchain through tokenized Treasury settlement and ongoing debate over the CLARITY Act. The episode also covers BitMEX's planned shutdown after 11 years, a series of cross-chain exploits that drained more than $35 million, the formation of a Bitcoin Security Consortium to prepare for future quantum computing risks, and Alphabet's decision to significantly increase AI infrastructure spending. Matt closes by arguing that while ETF inflows are providing support, Bitcoin still faces stiff competition from safer, yield-producing assets until the broader macroeconomic picture improves.

An AI-to-crypto capital rotation describes the shifting of institutional and retail investment funds between artificial intelligence assets and digital currencies. Key dynamics include massive capital flows into AI infrastructure and upcoming tech IPOs competing with crypto liquidity, alongside debates on whether a cooling AI market redirects funds back into Bitcoin and altcoins. ~This Episode is Sponsored by OKX~ Trade RLUSD/XRP on OKX + claim the new user offer!

Arthur Hayes from Consensus Miami. BitMEX co-founder and Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes took the Consensus Miami mainstage to make a provocative case: crypto regulation is irrelevant to Bitcoin's price performance. Hayes argues that fiat liquidity, not legislation, is the only variable that matters. He breaks down how money printing drove Bitcoin's historic gains, why the CLARITY Act won't move the needle, and where he thinks the crypto community should actually focus its political energy. - Timecodes: 0:00 - Why Arthur Hayes Doesn't Care About Crypto Regulation 02:09 - Bitcoin's Value Proposition: Technology + Fiat Liquidity 04:50 - Obama, QE, and the Birth of Bitcoin 7:48 - Janet Yellen's Reverse Repo and the 200% Bitcoin Rally08:50 - Transformation in Trump's Rhetoric Around Bitcoin 11:12 - Why Regulation Is Irrelevant to Bitcoin's Price 12:10 - The Fed Balance Sheet vs. Bitcoin: The Only Chart That Matters13:16 - The Case for Supporting Open Source Developers

AOBPrime Time reminder (FTF + Week 3)Vegas coming upNEWSRoman Storm Acquittal?? - The RageRule 29 hearing in SDNY. Retrial dates floated: Oct, Nov, Jan 2027.Gov theory: running Tornado Cash was criminal, but mixers aren't illegal and it wasn't criminal at inception. Failla: so when did liability start?Gov collapsed UI and protocol. Claimed Tornado Cash itself transferred funds — user wallets as "instrumentalities."Only 15% of volume was illicit across the charged period.Failla to prosecutor: "I might argue you were doing better before you started talking."BIP-361 - LinkNew proposal from Jameson Lopp and others (submitted 14 April) to protect Bitcoin from future quantum computers.Quantum computers could one day crack the cryptography Bitcoin uses today (ECDSA/Schnorr). BIP-361 forces everyone to move to new quantum-safe address types before that happens.Two phases: first, you can't send to old-style addresses. Five years later, old-style coins can't be spent at all. If you haven't moved your coins by then, they're frozen.Controversial because it means coins that don't migrate get effectively confiscated — including Satoshi's ~1M BTC and anything on lost seeds. Breaks Bitcoin's "your coins are yours forever" promise.BitMEX pushed back with a "wait and see" alternative: only freeze coins if quantum is actually proven to exist.Foundation angle: if you hold your own keys, you just migrate when new address types ship. The people at risk are exchange users, lost-seed holders, and very old wallets.Bitcoin Depot Hacked - 50.9 BTC ($3.7M) Stolen - Bitcoin Magazine / SecurityWeekPublished: Breach detected March 23, disclosed April 8-9, 2026Bitcoin Depot, the largest crypto ATM operator in the US (9,000+ machines, 47 states), lost 50.9 BTC after attackers gained control of credentials for digital asset settlement accounts. Customer data was not affected. SEC disclosure filed April 8.Talking points: Centralised custodians are honeypots. One set of credentials = nearly $4M gone. The 16-day gap between detection and disclosure is worth noting. Compare with self-custody where there is no single point of failure.Kraken Insider Extortion - Support Staff Recruited by Criminal Groups - CoinDeskPublished: April 13, 2026A criminal group is extorting Kraken after two insider incidents where support staff inappropriately accessed data from ~2,000 client accounts. No funds were at risk. Kraken warned of coordinated insider recruitment campaigns targeting crypto, gaming, and telecom firms.Talking points: Your exchange account is only as secure as the lowest-paid support worker with access to your data. This is organised, coordinated insider recruitment across multiple industries. Self-custody eliminates this counterparty risk entirely.

De discussie over Tether laait opnieuw op. Het stablecoinbedrijf ligt periodiek onder een vergrootglas en deze week is dat niet anders. De zorgen gaan zoals vaker over de samenstelling van de reserves, het ontbreken van een volledige audit en de vraag hoe robuust het bedrijf werkelijk is bij een forse daling van de markt. Tegelijkertijd verdient Tether meer dan ooit. De rente-inkomsten op de Amerikaanse staatsobligaties die het bedrijf aanhoudt zorgen voor recordwinsten, wat het bedrijf gebruikt om een groeiende positie in bitcoin en ook goud op te bouwen. Toch blijven de vragen terugkeren. De reserves bestaan grotendeels uit kortlopende staatsobligaties, maar er zitten ook meer risicovolle onderdelen in, zoals de eerdergenoemde goud- en bitcoinposities en bepaalde leningen. Critici wijzen op dat laatste als zwak punt. Arthur Hayes, voormalig CEO van BitMex, stelde dat Tether bij een stevige drawdown “theoretisch insolvent” zou kunnen zijn. De vraag is dan hoe groot dat risico werkelijk is en wat het betekent voor gewone gebruikers. Want zelfs als zo’n scenario optreedt, is het nog maar de vraag in hoeverre die gevolgen direct bij het brede publiek terechtkomen. Daarmee hangt de grootste onbekende nog altijd boven de markt: het ontbreken van een volwaardige, onafhankelijke audit van de balans. Al jaren belooft Tether meer transparantie, maar zover is het nog niet. Dat blijft een factor in het systeemrisico van USDT, zeker omdat de munt zo’n grote rol speelt in de wereldwijde cryptomarkt. Ondertussen groeit het bedrijf door en worden de bitcoinreserves steeds verder uitgebreid. De vraag is hoe dit zich ontwikkelt als Tether zijn eigen macht vergroot en wat dat betekent voor de markt waarin het opereert. Op de markt zelf was het ook onrustig. De koers liep de hele week rustig op, maar zakte zondagavond plotseling hard weg tot onder de 84.000 dollar. Ook komt de vraag voorbij of MicroStrategy, het bedrijf van Michael Saylor, een risico begint te vormen nu het aandeel slecht presteert terwijl het miljarden aan bitcoin bezit. En er is de grotere vraag of we het inmiddels bearmarkt mogen noemen, of dat die conclusie nog te vroeg is. Tot slot speelt er opnieuw een discussie over banken en cryptodiensten. De term ‘Operation Choke Point 3.0’ duikt steeds vaker op, verwijzend naar eerdere periodes waarin bedrijven de toegang tot betalingsdiensten verloren. Recente incidenten, zoals het debanken van Strike of het stopzetten van de Dolphin Card van Samson Mow, doen de vraag rijzen of hier sprake is van een patroon. Sommige analyses wijzen niet op complotten, maar op banken die vooral concurrentie willen afremmen. Wat dat betekent voor gebruikers en voor de bredere machtsstrijd in het financiële systeem komt uitgebreid aan bod. Co-hosts zijn Bert en Peter Slagter.

Bitcoin has dropped about 19% from its record high as the government shutdown saps $700 billion from markets, but analysts see a major rally ahead when liquidity returns. BitMEX analysts expect a strong relief rally when the shutdown ends and hundreds of billions are injected back into markets, suggesting Bitcoin's 4-year cycle isn't finished yet.~This episode is sponsored by BTCC~BTCC 10% Deposit Bonus! ➜ https://bit.ly/PBNBTCC00:00 intro00:08 Sponsor: BTCC00:44 Crypto Crashing!01:05 Government Shutdown Over This Week02:13 Manipulation?03:02 SNAP Benefits Held Hostage03:25 Scott Bessent on Healthcare Plan04:05 Data Blackout04:59 Supreme Court v.

Crypto has spent years obsessing over tokens, airdrops, and speculation. But what about the unsexy businesses actually making money? Arthur Hayes and Adam Schlegel join Laura Shin to talk about Maelstrom's $250M private equity fund targeting crypto's most profitable, yet overlooked, companies, $50M revenue businesses with 50% margins that VCs can't touch and exchanges won't pay cash for. But while everyone frames this as just another fund, Hayes and Schlegel argue it's actually the missing piece in crypto's maturation: a cash buyer for founders who've done their time and want out without four-year earnouts.  Plus: Why Asian crypto companies with monster margins get ignored by Western capital.

Is this the beginning of the biggest crypto bull run ever?Arthur Hayes, legendary BitMEX co-founder and CIO of Maelstrom, joins the show to break down why he believes we're heading into a multi-year, liquidity-fueled supercycle unlike anything we've seen before.He explains what really caused last week's wipeout, why most traders still don't understand leverage risk, and how global central banks are restarting the money printer.~~~~~

In this exclusive conversation, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, and Allan Marshall, CEO of Upexi, break down the rise and fall of Bitcoin treasury companies, why only a few will survive, and how fiat liquidity — not halving cycles — truly drives Bitcoin's future. They reveal how government money printing, the debasement trade, and passive inflows could push Bitcoin toward $1 million, while mismanaged treasuries implode under leverage. A must-watch for anyone who wants to understand the real macro forces shaping crypto's next supercycle.

Ralph welcomes Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, whose group has filed eight lawsuits that have significantly slowed the Trump/Musk cabal's attempt to dismantle the government. Then, our resident Constitutional scholar Bruce Fein reports on Public Interest Law Day at Harvard Law School and how important it is for law schools in general to step up to meet this constitutional crisis. Plus, Ralph answers listener questions!Robert Weissman is a staunch public interest advocate and activist, as well as an expert on a wide variety of issues ranging from corporate accountability and government transparency, to trade and globalization, to economic and regulatory policy. As the President of Public Citizen, he has spearheaded the effort to loosen the chokehold corporations and the wealthy have over our democracy.The efforts in the courts are really vital to stem the illegal, unconstitutional actions of the administration, but also to show that there's a way to fight back. In these early days and months of the administration, there's been a sense that Trump is inevitable and unstoppable. And the actions in the courts, I think, have been really critical to illustrating that that's not true.Robert WeissmanIt's open season for the polluters. And of course, they're also promoting in a variety of ways a rush towards climate catastrophe by undoing the positive measures that have come recently from the Biden administration to deal with the climate crisis.Robert WeissmanIf you pull back all the enforcement rules, and you say we're not going to enforce the rules that are left over, corporations get the message.

It's a real puzzle…because they have tenure, they have status, they have wealth, and they have the ability to defend themselves because they're skilled lawyers.Ralph NaderNews 4/2/251. Our top stories this week are on the topic of corporate crime. First, the American Prospect reports that the Trump administration is seeking to reverse a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau case against Townstone, a mortgage brokerage firm that blatantly discouraged potential Black borrowers. According to the Prospect, Townstone's owners Barry Sturner and David Hochberg vigorously promoted their firm though “personal-finance call-in infomercials,” on Chicago's WGN radio station. During these infomercials, which generated 90 percent of Townstone's business, Sturner and Hochberg “characterized the South Side of Chicago as a ‘war zone,' downtown Chicago as a ‘jungle' that turned on Friday and Saturday into ‘hoodlum weekend,'” and so on. As the Prospect notes, if Sturner and Hochberg were simply airing these views that would be perfectly legal, however unsavory. Instead, this program is “an informercial, which generates 90 percent of the brokerage's leads, which the brokerage pays WGN to air, presumably punctuated at regular intervals by some phrase along the lines of ‘an equal housing lender.'” Therefore, this rhetoric was determined to have violated the Fair Housing Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and the Community Reinvestment Act. The remarkable thing about this case is that it was brought by the Trump administration's CFPB between 2017 and 2020. Townstone eventually settled the case for a little over $100,000. Yet, just last week, the Trump administration 2.0 returned the money to Townstone posting “a long press release about how ‘abusive' and ‘unjust' the whole case had been.” This episode highlights just how much more extreme the new Trump administration is, even compared to the old one.2. Another outrageous case of corporate criminal leniency comes to us from Rick Claypool, a corporate crime expert at Public Citizen. For background, CNBC reports that Trump has “pardoned three co-founders of the BitMEX global cryptocurrency exchange, as well as…a former high-ranking employee.” As this piece explains, the co-founders received criminal sentences of probation…and were ordered to pay civil fines totaling $30 million,” after “Prosecutors accused the men of effectively operating BitMEX as a ‘money laundering platform' …[and] ‘a sham.'” But Trump went beyond pardoning the corporate criminals involved. As Claypool noted, “the crypto corporation pled guilty and was sentenced in January to two years' probation,” leading Claypool to wonder whether Trump would pardon the corporation itself. His question was answered on March 29th when Law360 reported that yes, Trump pardoned the business entity. This is the logical endpoint of regarding corporations as people. Not only will individual crooks be let off the hook, the whole crooked enterprise will come out unscathed.3. New evidence confirms the redistribution of wealth from working people to the capitalist class. A February 2025 RAND Corporation study titled “Measuring the Income Gap from 1975 to 2023” finds that, “the bottom 90 percent of workers would have earned $3.9 trillion more with..more even growth rates [since 1975],” resulting in a “cumulative amount of $79 trillion.” This study extends prior estimates by factoring in “inflation, growth in inequality, and a longer time frame.” And even more recently, an April 2025 article in the Journal of Political Economy, titled “How the Wealth Was Won: Factor Shares as Market Fundamentals,” finds that “40% of [the increase in real per capita value of corporate equity, which grew at an annual rate of 7.2% between 1989 and 2017]…was attributable to a reallocation of rewards to shareholders in a decelerating economy, primarily at the expense of labor compensation.” This study estimates “Economic growth accounted for just 25% of the increase,” and compares this period to the preceding era, “1952–88, [which] experienced only one-third as much growth in market equity, but economic growth accounted for more than 100% of it.” Taken together, these studies starkly illustrate an American economic machine built to make the rich even richer and the poor ever poorer.4. On the other end of the criminal penalty spectrum, the Department of Justice announced on Tuesday that they will seek the death penalty for alleged UnitedHealthcare assassin Luigi Mangione, the BBC reports. The first Trump administration saw the resumption of the federal death penalty after a 16-year hiatus; the Biden administration then issued a new moratorium and commuted the sentences of most federal death row prisoners. Since returning to power, Trump has aggressively pursued federal executions once again.5. In more positive legal news, NBC reports French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was found guilty Monday of embezzling over €3 million of European Union funds. The National Rally party leader was sentenced to four years in prison (with two on house arrest and two suspended), a €100,000 fine, and a ban on holding political office for five years – making her ineligible for the 2027 French presidential election, which polls showed her leading. Her party will, for the time being, be led by her protégé 29-year-old Jordan Bardella. It is unclear if he will enjoy the same popularity Ms. Le Pen held. She announced that she plans to appeal the verdict, but will remain ineligible for public office unless and until she wins that case.6. In more international news, British police last week executed a shocking raid on a congregation of the Quakers. The Guardian reports, “More than 20 uniformed police, some equipped with Tasers, forced their way into the Westminster meeting house…[and] seized attenders' phones and laptops.” In a statement, Paul Parker, the recording clerk for Quakers in Britain, said “No one has been arrested in a Quaker meeting house in living memory… This aggressive violation of our place of worship and the forceful removal of young people holding a protest group meeting clearly shows what happens when a society criminalises protest.” The stated charge is the absurd “conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.” A report on the incident in Church Times adds a statement from Oliver Robertson, head of witness and worship for Quakers in Britain, who said “This raid is not an isolated incident. It reflects a growing trend of excessive policing under new laws brought in by the previous government, which are now being enforced by the current administration.” Even former Tory minister Jacob Rees-Mogg, criticized the raid, stating “There has long been a tradition in this country…that religious spaces should not be invaded by the forces of law and order unless absolutely necessary.”7. Of course, the outrageous use of lawfare on Israel's behalf continues in the halls of Congress as well. In a letter, Congressmen Jim Jordan, Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, and Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Brian Mast – famous for his role as an American volunteer for the IDF – have announced their intention to investigate activist groups critical of the Israeli government – within Israel. According to the Jerusalem Post, these NGOs are being investigated to, “ascertain whether funding they allegedly received from the Biden administration was utilized for the judicial reform protests in 2023.” These groups include the Movement for Quality Government in Israel and Blue and White Future, among others.8. The government's use of brute force to muzzle criticism of Israel continues to rock academia. At Harvard, the Crimson reports 82 of Harvard Law School's 118 active professors have signed a letter which “accused the federal government of exacting retribution on lawyers and law firms for representing clients and causes opposed by President Donald Trump…described Trump's threats as a danger to the rule of law…[and] condemned the government for intimidating individuals based on their past public statements and threatening international students with deportation over ‘lawful speech and political activism.'” The letter reads, in part, “we share a conviction that our Constitution, including its First Amendment, was designed to make dissent and debate possible without fear of government punishment. Neither a law school nor a society can properly function amidst such fear.” This letter stands in stark contrast to the recent statement by Harvard President Alan Garber, in which he pledged to “engage” with the federal government's demands in order to protect the university's $9 billion in federal funding.9. Last week, we reported on the “lynching” of Hamdan Ballal, the Palestinian co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land – and how the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences dithered before ultimately releasing a milquetoast statement decrying violence against “artists for their work or their viewpoints,” with no mention of Palestine or even Ballal's name. This caused so much uproar among Academy members that nearly 900 of them signed a letter “denouncing the Academy's silence,” per Variety. The letter and full list of signatories can be found here. Shamed, the Academy leadership was forced to issue a follow-up statement expressing their “regret that we failed to directly acknowledge Mr. Ballal and the film by name.” This statement continues “We sincerely apologize to Mr. Ballal…We abhor the suppression of free speech under any circumstances.”10. Finally, speaking of shame, the Hill reports that the shame of Congressional Republicans is giving Democrats a golden opportunity. According to this piece, “House Democrats are ramping up their aggressive strategy of conducting town halls in Republican-held districts, vying to exploit the GOP's advised moratorium on the events to make inroads with frustrated voters, pick up battleground seats, and flip control of the House in next year's midterms.” One Democrat, Bernie Sanders' 2020 campaign co-chair Ro Khanna, has held three town halls in Republican-held districts, whose main takeaway was “People are mad.” Republicans who have bucked the GOP leadership and held town halls anyway, such as Wyoming Rep. Harriet Hageman and Indiana congresswoman Victoria Spartz have found themselves looking down the barrel of constituents furious at the conduct of the administration in general and DOGE in particular. This, combined with the upset Democratic victories in recent special elections, has the GOP on a defensive backfoot for the first time in months. Could we be looking at the beginning of a Democratic tea party? Only time will tell.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
