Tennessee: Chattanooga police say one of their own was involved in a crash on Thursday evening while responding to a call.

It happened at around 2:30pm on Gunbarrel Road near Landress Drive.

A CPD spokesperson says the officer was responding to an emergency call when another driver pulled out in front of her.

The officer was taken to a hospital with minor injuries. Her name has not been released.

The other driver involved, who has not been identified, refused medical attention and said a family member would drive he or she to a hospital.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or, positive thoughts for their recovery. 🙏🏻

President Trump signs an Executive Order establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile 🇺🇸

Margo Martin

Just a few minutes ago, President Trump signed an Executive Order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

The Reserve will be capitalized with Bitcoin owned by the federal government that was forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. This means it will not cost taxpayers a dime.

It is estimated that the U.S. government owns about 200,000 bitcoin; however, there has never been a complete audit. The E.O. directs a full accounting of the federal government’s digital asset holdings.

The U.S. will not sell any bitcoin deposited into the Reserve. It will be kept as a store of value. The Reserve is like a digital Fort Knox for the cryptocurrency often called “digital gold.”

Premature sales of bitcoin have already cost U.S. taxpayers over $17 billion in lost value. Now the federal government will have a strategy to maximize the value of its holdings.

The Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional bitcoin, provided that those strategies have no incremental costs on American taxpayers.

IN ADDITION, the Executive Order establishes a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, consisting of digital assets other than bitcoin forfeited in criminal or civil proceedings.

The government will not acquire additional assets for the Stockpile beyond those obtained through forfeiture proceedings.

The purpose of the Stockpile is responsible stewardship of the government’s digital assets under the Treasury Department.

PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT

President Trump promised to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile. Those promises have been kept.

This Executive Order underscores President Trump’s commitment to making the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.”

I want to thank the President for his leadership and vision in supporting this cutting-edge technology and for his rapid execution in supporting the digital asset industry. His administration is truly moving at “tech speed.”

I also want to thank the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets — especially Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick — for their help and support in getting this done. Finally Bo Hines played a critical role as Executive Director of our Working Group.

ICYMI: Florida - A “low-speed partial derailment” in the Metrorail yard near Medley Wednesday morning led to “minor damage,” officials with Miami-Dade Transit confirmed.

No riders were aboard and the incident isn’t affecting Metrorail service, Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works spokesperson Deborah Souverain said.

It happened at the agency’s yard off Milam Dairy Road.

“A train’s wheels came slightly off track while traveling over a switch, causing minor damage to the rail and a couple of train cars that came in contact,” Souverain said in an email to Local 10 News. “This is not an uncommon occurrence at rail yards across the county, where all trains are stored, cleaned and serviced during overnight hours.”

She added, “DTPW crews are on site working to re-rail the train and assess the situation.”

Your LAPD Rampart Officers, Detectives and Vice served a search warrant right across from Mac Arthur Park.  Over $300K in stolen property recovered.  Code 4. Suspect in custody.  Propery from @cvspharmacy @Walgreens @tjmaxx @Target and more!  So much that a @uhaul truck was required to transport all the recovered property!
