While there's no federal revenge porn law, spreading Hunter Biden dic pics on the Internet, including on Twitter, would appear to be criminal under various state revenge porn laws. To the extent that Elon Musk appears to be encouraging and facilitating it, he may also have some liability, although I'm not optimistic about Musk being held accountable.

University of Washington study finds that the number of Americans carrying a handgun almost doubled from 2015-19, from 3 million to six million.

When Donald Trump ran for President, in 2016, he portrayed himself as a successful businessman who would use his business acumen in running the government. He also bucked tradition by refusing to release his tax returns.
From the Trump Organization's ongoing criminal tax fraud trial, we now know that from 2009-18 he reported losses every year -- nearly $700 million in 2009 alone.
