“@potus’s executive order on crypto is a watershed moment. It paves the way for thoughtful national crypto regulation that will allow builders to build onshore and ensure that the US remains a leader in crypto—creating greater independence, choice, and opportunity for all,” Bitcoin investor and co-founder of Gemini, a cryptocurrency trading application Cameron Winklevoss wrote on Twitter. On Wednesday, Biden signed the executive order which in addition to calling on the nation’s central bank to explore options for constructing it’s own cryptocurrency, seeks to protect investors and companies from risks associated with investing in digital currencies....

Biden has sought to portray many of these criticisms as naïve and dismissive of the realities of serving as a U.S. senator in the company of segregationists. In a recent interview with NPR, the son of Delaware cast similar aspersions on critics of his foreign policy record, apparently ignoring his own public comments in the wake of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. He told the public radio network he thought his “record has been good” on foreign policy, defending his decision in 2002 to vote for the use of military force in Iraq, part of then-President George W....

“You’re dealing every day with Vladimir Putin, and look at what he’s done to these people. What does it make you think?” a reporter asked Biden in Warsaw in an exchange recorded by Agence France-Presse. “He’s a butcher,” Biden responded. Biden’s remarks come days after the U.S. formally accused Russia of committing war crimes during its invasion of Ukraine. The president has previously condemned Putin over the war and has labeled him a war criminal....

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki indicated during a press conference earlier today that Trump should be “more vocal about the safety and efficacy” of the vaccine. “We’d support that,” she said, adding that “every other living president has participated in public campaigns.” “They did not need an engraved invitation to do so. He may decide he should do that. If so, great. But there are a lot of different ways to engage to reach out to ensure that people of a range of political support and backing know the vaccine is safe and effective,” she added....

Biden addressed the massive storm whose remnants have gone on to pound the Northeast with massive flooding. “My message to everyone affected is, we’re all in this together, and the nation is here to help,” Biden said Thursday. Biden will travel to Louisiana on Friday to survey damage in New Orleans and other areas that were hit hard when slammed ashore Sunday. Specific details about the president’s trip, including what areas he will tour or whom he will meet with, are forthcoming, according to the White House....

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5BLgycbUog There are still a lot of questions surrounding Sony’s upcoming PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. The biggest question pertains to which characters will occupy the game’s final roster, and the developers at SuperBot Entertainment eased the tension mildly by confirming two characters that’ll be joining the frantic fisticuffs. The first character confirmed was none other that Uncharted’s Nathan Drake — a character that many assumed would be included since the very beginning....

Not even Brooks Koepka can explain why he plays some of his best golf at the biggest events. The PGA Championship not only was his third major, he won two of the three majors he played this year and three of his last six. And it goes deeper than that. He has finished among the top 15 in 12 of the last majors he has played, dating to a tie for fourth in his U....

Less likely to make headlines is a trend Big Labor’s cheerleaders wish to ignore: the significant increase in efforts by workers seeking to remove long-entrenched unions from their workplaces. Employees across the country have submitted a wave of petitions to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), asking the federal agency to schedule votes to remove unpopular unions, a process known as “decertification.” In fact, according to the NLRB’s own data on petitions for elections to either install or remove a union, a unionized private-sector worker is more than twice as likely to be involved in a decertification effort as a similar nonunion worker is to be involved in efforts to unionize his or her employer....

The biggest takeaway from the card is Serena Deeb’s return to AEW. The former WWE Superstar last wrestled for AEW on a Dynamite episode on September 2nd against Thunder Rosa. Chris Jericho had also recently confirmed her AEW signing, and she would be looking to officially begin her stint in the company with a win over Kilynn King. Eddie Kingston’s singles match against Brian Pillman Jr. also looks like a great offering on paper....

Campaign advisers for Biden have targeted traditionally Republican states like Georgia, hoping to persuade voters to vote Democratic. Overall, Biden’s campaign is expected to hire 600 more organizers by the end of June to assist the campaign. Biden’s lead over Trump in the Civiqs poll is slight. 48 percent of Georgians polled would vote for Biden if the election were held today. Trump is only one percentage point behind at 47 percent....

Biden promised to take steps to repair the broken relationship, lift sanctions and create a viable path back to the deal. I never thought he would be the perfect president, but I hoped he would do his best to alleviate the pain our community endured under the Trump administration. Biden’s policies and actions as president, aside from ending the Muslim ban, have failed to make any progress toward these promises and the Iranian American community is paying the price, literally....

Republicans and Democrats had not been able to come to an agreement over details of a fifth coronavirus relief bill, causing discussions to stall for weeks. Democrats had been pushing a bill that would have cost roughly $2 trillion. Republicans wanted a bill with a smaller price range, somewhere around $500 billion. On Tuesday, a compromise bill was introduced by lawmakers from both sides of the aisle for approximately $900 billion....

The president’s Build Back Better agenda seeks funding to expand public housing, childcare, healthcare and eldercare as well as initiatives to fight climate change. “These bills are not about left versus right, or about moderate versus progressive or anything that pits one American against another,” Biden said during his Wednesday speech in Scranton, Pennsylvania. “These bills are about competitiveness versus complacency, about expanding opportunity versus having an opportunity denied,” he continued....

Biden’s Tuesday speech before Congress comes amid a tumultuous time for the U.S. At home, Americans have begun losing faith in Biden’s ability to lead as the price of gas and consumer goods soar. Facing low approval numbers, Biden used his address to paint a picture of a brighter future and shied away from two major priorities of the Democratic Party—passing voting rights legislation and the Capitol riot inquiry....

Biden’s speech was met by applause from workers Sunday night. First, here was Biden’s video message. “I have long said America wasn’t built by Wall Street, it was built by the middle class. And unions built the middle class,” the president said. “Unions put power in the hands of the workers. They level the playing field. They give you a stronger voice for your health, your safety, higher wages, protections from racial discrimination and sexual harassment....
