Crypto users keep hearing that America is becoming more crypto-friendly. But try moving serious money from Coinbase into a traditional bank account and see how friendly the system really feels. One of my clients transferred $1 million from Coinbase into a Citibank account. Citi rejected the transfer. Then they closed the entire account. Not a small account either. There was around $5 million sitting there. The bank mailed him a check for $5 million. Through the mail. - No discussion. - No warning. - No “let’s clear this up.” - Just goodbye. This is the part people miss about crypto debanking. Even if your activity is legal, banks may still treat crypto-related transfers as high risk. And if the compliance burden is too expensive, some banks would rather drop the customer than deal with the paperwork. So when politicians talk about ending debanking, that is a good start. But it does not solve the bigger issue. As long as crypto is treated like suspicious activity by default, crypto users are still not fully inside the financial system. They are tolerated. Until they become inconvenient. So here’s the question: If a bank can close your account for receiving money from Coinbase, do crypto users actually have financial freedom?

Hey @TDCJ , this is how your employees talk about murdered white kids like Austin Metcalf. I expect her to be fired! @KenPaxtonTX

Mass immigration is a war crime and the people responsible should be treated accordingly

Too many women in government are destroying this country

I haven’t chimed in on the whole video saga yet because I find the entire thing absurd. But since this community note is 100% factually wrong and is now impacting how Grok answers legitimate questions, it needs to be corrected. 1. This entire debate only exists because a handful of bad-faith actors have spent months trying to attack Erika, destroy the organization her husband built, and divide the movement. Most, if not all, of these people attacked Charlie when he was alive, and they found a new target since Charlie is now off-limits. You can rebut lies with all the facts you want, but they don't care, and they won't stop. Next, it's a chin mole is missing, next it's AI, etc. etc. 2. There is a pattern continually playing out and people need to see it for what it is. They launch a conspiracy theory, they say it's the smoking gun, it falls apart, a new theory appears, and the cycle repeats. Meanwhile, the people making these claims have no obligation whatsoever to prove them. They and their followers condemn the accused as guilty and demand a response to clear their name. The accused is then expected to respond, defend themselves, produce documents, provide explanations, and somehow prove a negative. But the response is never sufficient because the response was never the objective. Goalposts move instantly. The answer was too defensive, too dismissive, or they find some irrelevant tidbit to pick apart and the cycle repeats. It's a sucker's game. 3. I find the video largely irrelevant. Boards do not determine succession based on whether someone can produce a random clip. Boards evaluate leadership, governance, organizational continuity, and the wishes of the founder. In this case, Charlie hand-picked the board, communicated his wishes to them, to me personally on three or four occasions, to Erika, to Don Jr. (who has gone on the record), to pastors, friends, and colleagues. That board voted unanimously to make Erika CEO. That should be the end of story. 4. Yes, Charlie was asked about this once when a camera was on him and he said exactly what he always did: Erika would take over should something God-forbid happen and that she would do a great job. 5. This did not happen at ActCon 2023 in West Palm as @CommunityNotes wrongly says. He said this in Aspen in 2025 at Investors. ActCon was a large convention with a massive blue stage and thousands of attendees. Investors was a small hotel ballroom with a few hundred attendees and a white and red backdrop. I was at both. 6. The "Building the Machine" claim is also wrong. In 2023, the theme of ActCon was "We are doing the work to save America." When we titled CK's opening speech for a podcast episode, we just came up with a random title "Building the Machine" that Charlie liked. Charlie was from Chicago and always talked about the Democrat Machine. He wanted a machine built for the right. It was just an episode title but over time it became something Charlie said more and more. So, in 2025, after Trump won the election, Charlie wanted to expand the Chase the Vote "machine" that proved so effective, so he made the theme for Investors 2025 "Building the Machine." 7. I think Community Notes has been a force for good and I fully support its purpose and mission, but for whatever reason, it’s been weaponized in this case to spread disinformation. Hopefully whatever went wrong here will be corrected both on this note, and in the future. Images of the two very different events attached. Blue backdrop is ActCon 2023, while the white and red is Investors 2025. cc: @nikitabier

Reminder that just on May 27th Gavin Newsom signed California SB 73 into law which prohibits law enforcement and federal agencies from accessing voter rolls, investigating polling places and election workers, and verifying mail in ballots, among other ways of validating elections

This is absurd. Once a ballot is received in Florida it is immediately logged as received. Once the election ends at 7pm on election night, we know how many ballots have been cast. Once you know the total number of ballots it closes off avenues for cheating.

Had Trump endorsed Cornyn then Paxton still would have won by a lot. That’s why Trump did not endorse Cornyn.

Please. If you have become liberal, or always were, just say so. This “I am a lifelong Republican now voting for a radical leftist” act is tiresome performative nonsense.

WOW! I FOUND IT! After scouring the Internet, I found a video of Senator Bill Cassidy saying, “I voted to convict President Trump because he is guilty.” Send this to everyone you know in Louisiana, so they can vote BEFORE 8 p.m.!

Open borders wasn't some accident-- The Biden admin did it on purpose. They went as far as to sue Texas to stop us from building fences on our own border. And if Democrats take back power, they will do it again until every American city becomes completely unrecognizable.

Respectfully, didn’t we used to just hang traitors?

All she did was speak publicly one time to go from 65% to 16%

Beyond pathetic, @MagicJohnson. Los Angeles is in terrible shape and you want Karen Bass to be re-elected because she’s your friend?! What a selfish move.

Nithya Raman was born in India, became a US citizen at age 22, and moved to LA in 2013. Why in the world would she think she should be the mayor of LA? Spencer Pratt was born and raised in LA, lived there his whole life, and he is a complete LA native and expert.

I'm so sick of doing business with subcons, man. Every transaction is painful. The can't speak intelligible English, you cannot just buy something without having to fend off an attempt to upsell, they never take no for an answer, they rarely actually know anything useful about the service they're providing or the product they're selling. Every single interaction becomes a tortuous maze of anxiety and frustration. The worst part about it is that it makes us, of necessity, into jerks, because the only way to manage these people is by being an asshole. You have to assume incompetence and deceptiveness, and go in prepared to argue with and browbeat them. You can't be nice to them, because they'll take advantage of that. This is not good for us. We strongly prefer to be polite, because our social instincts are calibrated for honesty and competence. Dealing with low-trust imbeciles all day brutalizes the white soul.

Did you know that you can request a 👉REFUND👈 if you donated to Senator Cornyn? Since the NRSC & SLF are spending tens of millions of dollars on Cornyn, he doesn’t need your $. Request a refund here: ⬇️ (All they had to do was pass the SAVE America Act 🦇)

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

Here’s who supplies Minocqua Brewing company their malt for their beers. Time to ramp up the pressure on Kirk even more. Does Briess Malt & Ingredients company know who they are supplying their malt to? Are they in favor of Minocqua Brewing company giving away free beer upon the assassination of President Trump using their malt to make those very beers?
