Rostin Behnam
The Revolving Door Project reports that the head of the Commodities
Future Trading Commission, Rostin Behnam, is considering resigning

Crime to desecrate religious texts
Denmark is passing a law to privilege religion by making it a crime
to burn, cut or dirty a religious scripture.

Netanyahu
*Biden’s rhetoric toward the Netanyahu government is toughening. But
critics say his words aren’t backed up by the threat of action.*
