Politico: “Over 10 weeks since inauguration and nearly a month after Merrick Garland was sworn in as attorney general, the president has yet to fill several critical Justice Department posts, including the assistant attorney generals for the criminal, national security, civil and antitrust divisions, along with a solicitor general. In comparison, Barack Obama had nominated people for all of those positions by his third day in office.” “Justice Department insiders along with people familiar with the situation say the delay is partly the result of a delicate stand-off between Garland and the White House over who they want in the positions.” Garland holds more sway than other Cabinet officials since the White House really doesn’t want to be seen as pressuring the new Attorney General.

    “Hours before a federal law banning TikTok from the United States was set to take effect, the social media app went dark, and U. S. users could no longer access videos on the platform.

  • Trump’s Latest, and Most Questionable, Crypto Launch, Explained
    Mother Jones, Saturday - 01/18/2025 - 04:45 PM

    On Friday night, just days before his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump took to X to celebrate…the launch of his new meme coin. “It’s time to celebrate everything we stand for,” he wrote, “WINNING!” It’s a move that, at least on paper, seemed to inflate Trump’s personal wealth by billions ahead of ushering in the most crypto-friendly administration in history. With this launch, Trump joins the ranks of celebrities like Iggy Azalea, Caitlyn Jenner, and more recently, Haliey Welch, better known as the “Hawk Tuah” girl, all of whom have launched their own meme coins in the last year.

    “The incoming Trump administration wants regime change in Venezuela, where dictator Nicolás Maduro stole his election, jailed a rival and this month even threatened to invade the U. S. territory of Puerto Rico,” Axios reports. “Venezuela under Maduro has been a massive problem for Latin America and the U. S.
