Wait, Bitcoin was used for criming? I’m shocked I tell you. Shocked!

“The seizure on Monday marked a first-of-its-kind effort by the Justice Department to hijack a cybercriminal group’s profits through a hack of its Bitcoin wallet.” Huge props to Joe Biden and Merrick Garland’s DOJ!https://t.co/WItWZxEI9V

Here's a perfect example of the confusion. Why do you need a court order if you have the password to their wallet? The reverse is also true. If the bitcoin was transferred to a custodial wallet, you dont need the password (keys). https://t.co/BnXqqrWnlX

Meanwhile…
Let's drop the euphemism that Rs are showing "fealty to the big lie." This is about ditching any obligation to abide by *future* outcomes. An alarming NYT report captures the truth. Following @perrybaconjr, I argue GOP candidates must be hounded on this:https://t.co/6T20hfcIvq

Now PA too? It's high time for our Justice Department to put an end to this destructive propaganda which harms our democracy. The DOJ sent a warning letter to AZ on violating federal law. Why isn't Garland doing more to end this nonsense?! https://t.co/KROhAsjS9U

Never-before-heard audio shows how Rudy Giuliani relentlessly pressured and coaxed the Ukrainian government in 2019 to investigate baseless conspiracies about Joe Biden.

Just thinking about how after this photo ran Wall Street Journal columnists spent more time criticizing me for not smiling enough than asking Manchin precisely what areas of “common ground” he had in mind when he stood up for the GOP.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 7, 2021
Turns out voter suppression was one of them! https://t.co/hiMeVNKtss
The circular nature of this argument is exactly what happened in Impeachment 1.0: though a minority, the GOP opposed impeachment *because* they made it a partisan issue. Manchin is allowing the GOP to dictate legislation by uniformly opposing legislation — for whatever reason. https://t.co/E29HdttnHW

Agreed. Put the burden on Manchin and Sinema: "Time to call Manchin’s bluff" https://t.co/vKFp9MfDyz

G7 PRESSURE ON JOHNSON
The G7 is a huge opportunity for Boris Johnson to relaunch Global Britain. The fortunate coincidence that it comes months ahead of COP means the UK can assume a leadership position on climate change — something we are good at and is high up global agenda https://t.co/HZYF6Cmgt1

Throughout this sorry #Brexit process, we’ve been able to rely on @POTUS to play a proactive role on the #Protocol & the legal responsibilities the UK Govt had to it and the #GFA https://t.co/k3rWKWZcCE

'This week’s planned G7 chat on Northern Ireland between the US president, Joe Biden, and British prime minister, Boris Johnson, can be brief. Biden should tell Johnson to stop being an idiot and honour the protocol.'https://t.co/Nhd6IYaJLX

SO, it turns out that the UK Government were totallly aware they were throwing their promises to the DUP down the drain. And the only people surprised? The DUP https://t.co/t18qZYd8oV

In what should have been his honeymoon as leader, Edwin Poots is presiding over chaos in the DUP. Poots finds himself leader of a disputatious and shrinking party. The level of acrimony is remarkable – and in some sections of the DUP perhaps unfixable.https://t.co/KZOMbVd9qG

Amazon's profit margins are sub 10 per cent – which means it falls outside the G7 threshold on the new global corporate tax rate.

But Amazon's cloud computing division has big margins. So the G7 and OECD are planning a special measure to tax that instead https://t.co/p1Y1IqlJRI
