Blumenthal: Tether is a crypto company that has a stablecoin known as USDT, and it is the major means of Iran avoiding and evading sanctions. What we’ve also exposed is that Cantor Fitzgerald has a major financial tie. Cantor Fitzgerald was owned by Howard Lutnick. It’s still run by his family.

Can someone please ask DHS why any of their planes need bedrooms?
In her last hours as DHS Secy, Noem's agency bought 5 planes from a donor at markups. In all, DHS gave $900M in contracts to that donor’s companies during her term. One plane had electronic bidets, 2 bedrooms, bar, wine chiller, a manta-ray skin table.

The only problem? She had surgery as an adult, not a minor. And she's from Texas, not Ohio.
