The DOJ settled with Live Nation for $280 million against $25 billion in revenue. That's 1.1 percent. The first issue of The Pressure Trail follows the math.

Image of a quote by Judge Zahid N. Quraishi from a U.S. District Court transcript: "I won't believe it until you testify. That is what has happened to the credibility of your office. Generations of Assistant U.S. Attorneys had built the goodwill of that office for your generation to destroy it within a year."
When the "goodwill" of an institution is spent by its current stewards, is it possible for future generations to pay back that deficit, or is the loss of credibility an inheritance they can never fully recover?
Play stupid war games, win stupid prizes.
My case studies for the coming week will be focused on local fraud right here in the Boston area.
We always forget, myself included, about the shady happenings that are right in our own backyards.
"Hey! Can anyone find our pilots? Please?”

One thing is certain, America is gonna get annihilated when faced against the Chinese and Russian militaries. They can barely keep Iran contained and controlled.
So much for getting a head start on this weekend's batch writing 😮💨 Not feeling great 🤒🤧
Was there a single sentence in that speech suggesting that we care what happens to the Iranian people?
This war is going to inflame at least a generation of hatred against the United States.
The red and green lines are the worst. I could bike faster than the green line sometimes.
My favorite type of April 1 bit is when people just imagine creating a better country, you know like as a joke
Now, if we had a younger generation at the helm, maybe we could improve as a country.
Instead, the past two presidents have been 78 years old... 78... years old... going on 9 years of being controlled by this gerontocracy.
America can't function because it's being run by geriatric psychopaths.
Yes please! I can't wait to dive into the information.
One year into his second term, Trump has installed political appointees across the federal government.
Join us April 8 for a walkthrough from our reporters on navigating our database of appointees’ financial disclosures & potential conflicts of interest.

Interesting, I'll have to research this more and maybe write another case study or article on the dangers of prediction markets again.
Very high def detailed nearly full moon against a hazy fading to black night sky
storms moving away but it's clear here and by god my hands were steady tonight

I think it's time that the USA has it's financial hegemony taken away since they no longer use it responsibly.
One country controlling the entire global financial system has always been a disaster waiting to happen.
There’s already a date onboard for a general strike
May 1st, National Strike

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
Bright full moon centered in a dark night sky, surrounded by a soft glowing halo and thin colored smoky clouds
Evening.
If Biden delivered such a rambling, slurring performance, people would solemnly demand that he resign and never run for office again
Well, at least we know that even the appearance of separate, co-equal, branches isn't worth maintaining anymore.
Having the executive branch physically hovering over the judicial branch is... disturbing.
It's been 66 days since agents killed Alex Pretti.
DHS has body-cam footage.
They haven't released it.
66 days and counting.

Good morning, moon.
The WSJ is a right leaning news outlet so... not surprising that they're sane washing the god awful speech.
The "Pink Moon" refers to the early spring bloom of the wildflower known as creeping phlox or moss phlox, which is also known as "moss pink" and is native to eastern North America. Other names for the full Pink Moon around the world include the Sprouting Grass Moon and Egg Moon indicating the start of spring. The full Fish Moon refers to when shad fish came upstream to spawn and Breaking Ice Moon highlights the arrival of warmer weather.

It's wild that the Iranian government has more credibility and legitimacy than the current American administration.
The Iranian president called his country’s actions in the ongoing war a “measured response grounded in legitimate self-defense.”
That was terrible speech in every conceivable way.
