Edwin G. Oswald: Ronald Reagan would not be welcome in today’s GOP
How did Ronald Reagan’s Republican Party become former President Donald Trump’s? Though Reagan was the first MAGA president (he ran for the White House in 1980 on the slogan “Let’s Make America Great Again”), he wouldn't be welcomed in today’s Republican Party. For Reagan, immigration was a unique cornerstone of American vitality and renewal, and it was central to his own origin myth. Unlike Reagan, today’s GOP has used immigration to divide Americans and to make immigrants the scapegoats for a range of domestic ills, including income inequality. Impatient with the slow-grinding nature of the post-war containment policy, Reagan turned his foreign policy on a redefinition of America’s stance toward the Soviet Union.

Bitcoin briefly rises to record high over $70,000
Bitcoin briefly rallied to a record high on Friday in volatile trading, as crypto mania continued to sweep through the investment community. The leading cryptocurrency topped the $70,000 mark for the first time, boosted by investor demand for new US spot exchange-traded crypto products and expectations for global interest rates to fall. It rose to as high as $70,105 before quickly dropping, and was last trading at $68,317.72. Billions of dollars have flowed into ETFs in the past few weeks, and the market is getting extra support from an outlook that includes an upgrade to the ethereum blockchain platform, home to the second-largest cryptocurrency ether, and a bitcoin "halving" event, which slows the flow of bitcoin minting, in April.
