But 33-year-old Los Angeles resident Jaysn Prolifiq—legally known as Glauber Contessoto—told Newsweek he does not regret hanging on to his tokens, even as their value drops again. Financial experts warned others against taking a high-stakes risk like Prolifiq’s. Citing screenshots and video of his investment that Newsweek could not independently verify, the music video producer and artist manager said his $188,000 holding had turned into nearly $2 million of Dogecoin last week....

A hashtag of the same name is currently the second-highest trending term on Twitter as the community rallies online. The Dogecoin subReddit is also active with posts. Broadly, posts on social media appear to be aiming for the coin’s price to hit $0.420 in honor of the date, though many in the community have mentioned the $1 mark. At the time of writing Dogecoin was valued at $0.404. Led Frixman, an AI researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, tweeted: “So it looks like 4/20 is now Doge Day, a time to celebrate the power of the meme....

It also states Dogecoin—a type of cryptocurrency initially launched as a joke—is “fast, cheap, and stable,” though arguably the token has become far less stable in recent days, its price having jumped in value from around $0.07 to over $0.40 last week. It then dropped below the $0.30 mark over the weekend before recovering slightly. It is unclear if any one reason can explain why the petition has been gaining traction in recent weeks....

As a result, the price of the digital token had risen by nearly 30 percent in 24 hours at 7:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday to a price of roughly $0.21, according to price tracking site CoinMarketCap. It brought dogecoin’s market cap—the total value of all dogecoin tokens in circulation—to roughly $28.2 billion. This price is likely to change rapidly. Cryptocurrencies are notorious for their volatile market value, and experts have previously warned Newsweek about the risks associated with trading them....

On Friday, the price of Dogecoin (listed as DOGE on the cryptocurrency market) was at around $0.27, marking a nearly 103 percent rise in the last 24 hours, at the time of reporting. Its value reached as high as just over $0.29 at one point in the same time period, according to CoinMarketCap. Dogecoin’s 24-hour trading volume was at $34,914,098,772.67 on Friday, marking a nearly 99 percent increase in the same timeframe, according to CoinMarketCap, at the time of reporting....

The token’s rise may also have been buoyed by recent tweets by U.S. billionaire Elon Musk, who said he has been working with Dogecoin developers to improve transactions with the currency. Dogecoin was valued at roughly $0.55 at around 2:30 am EDT on Friday morning—a rise of over 24 percent on the day—with a market capitalization of more than $70 billion. This followed a rough week for the token....

Flynn has been widely criticized for the remarks at the “For God & Country Patriot Roundup” in Dallas on Sunday. While taking questions from the audience at the $500-a-head event, one man asked Flynn: “I want to know why what happened in Myanmar can’t happen here?” The question prompted cheers from the crowd. “No reason. I mean, it should happen here,” Flynn said. Speaking to MSNBC, McCaffrey described Flynn’s “dangerous rhetoric” as “harmful” to the country....

Trump’s lawyers filed an emergency request with the Supreme Court last week, urging them to allow special master Raymond Dearie to review the 100 documents recovered at his south Florida residence. The filing was in response to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that allowed the DOJ to continue using the classified documents in a criminal investigation of the former president. Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon had previously ruled that the documents would be off limits pending their review by Dearie....

It’s not, of course, as if Dole were running against a man with a capacity to inspire fear and trembling. But Clinton is the president and brings with him into any real room or even electronic setting the imposing and somewhat intimidating aura of his office. And that’s what Dole the Unscary, Dole trailing the apparent “kick me” sign is up against. You want evidence? Start with the unrelenting assaults, ridicule and contempt dished out all year by his supposed friends and party brethren – without the slightest sign of anxiety about being overheard by Dole or causing him discomfort or displeasure....

Specifically, Miami has been connected to Deshaun Watson. Tagovailoa isn’t letting those rumors get to him. “I hear it. I do hear it. I just don’t listen to it,” Tagovailoa told reporters, per The Palm Beach Post. “I really respect and appreciate [coach Brian Flores’] transparency with where he’s at with that,” Tagovailoa added later when discussing the rumors, per the Miami Herald. “… He sits me down and he tells me what’s going on....

Gailey, previously a head coach with the Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills, was hired as an assistant to Brian Flores in January 2020. It gave Gailey the opportunity to work with former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in his rookie NFL season. The Dolphins missed out on the playoffs thanks to their heavy defeat to the Bills in Week 17, but Flores suggested earlier this week his entire coaching staff would return next year....

Miami was 7-3 heading into the bye week, and Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins were humming. After beating the Texans following the bye, the Dolphins moved to 8-3, riding a five-game winning streak. They looked like legitimate AFC East contenders. Since then, the Dolphins have dropped three straight. First it was a wire-to-wire loss against the 49ers, followed by a close game against the Chargers, then a heart-breaking last-second loss to the Bills that all but clinched the division for Buffalo....

Dominic Taddeo, 64, escaped from federal custody on March 28 after going to an approved medical appointment but failed to return. He had less than a year left on his sentence and was staying in a halfway house that works with inmates for scheduled release, the Democrat and Chronicle reported. Taddeo was recaptured by the U.S. Marshals in Hialeah, Florida, on April 4, according to the Democrat and Chronicle. No further information about his capture was provided....

The CNN anchor gave his take on the defeat of Democratic contender Terry McAuliffe by Republican Glenn Youngkin in the Virginia governor’s race, as well as a narrow victory by Democratic governor Phil Murphy over GOP contender Jack Ciattarelli. Lemon said that the elections “rocked the Democratic party,” noting a Republican sweep in Virginia which included the GOP winning the attorney general and lieutenant governor races, and a gubernatorial vote in New Jersey that Lemon said went “down to the wire....

You can still get to your destination, and you probably have more rights than the average passenger. A lot more. “If your flight is canceled because of an inspection that’s presumably required by the Federal Aviation Administration, your airline may provide for hotels, meals, alternate transportation and forgiveness of cancellation penalties,” says Thomas Dickerson, author of “Travel Law” (Law Journal Press, 2008). But before invoking any of those rights, it’s important to find out if your trip is “go” or not....

The convictions of Susan and James McDougal and Jim Guy Tucker come as no surprise to those following the trial. The eccentric James McDougal had been prosecuted (but acquitted) on similar charges in 1989. David Hale, the chief witness for the prosecution, had been described by Small Business Administration officials as one of the most corrupt operators in the history of the Small Business Investment Corp. program. The real question is: what does this trial say about the president?...

Thus far, I’m going to believe that Ukraine is being honorable, that they’re not trying to draw us into a war with Russia, that they just want to defend their territory and maintain their sovereignty. I also understand the argument in terms of American interests in Ukraine. I think America’s interest as it is in Taiwan and other parts of the world is that we can’t let our competitors get too powerful....

At times, though, Aliev’s ““untraditional’’ style of law enforcement looks a lot like old-fashioned political abuse of power. The tax chief’s wife is Dariga Nazarbayeva, head of Khabar, the state television station. Her father is Nursultan Nazarbayev, the Soviet-era leader who continues to run the country. Early last week he won re-election as president in elections that were widely criticized by international observers. The only credible challenger, former prime minister Akezhan Kazhegeldin, was disqualified for meeting with members of an unregistered political party....

What concerns me here is that Thomas might be opposed because “he does not speak for the majority of blacks.” I am reminded of the time when some NAACP chapters led a campaign against the film “The Color Purple” because it did not “represent the black experience.” The movie was picketed at the box office, blasted in the press and passed over at the Academy Awards largely because some blacks decided this was not an acceptable portrayal of black life....
