Dogecoin surges 30% to a record above 50 cents as speculative crypto trading continues

Dogecoin , the cryptocurrency based off a viral dog meme from nearly a decade ago, surged 30% on Tuesday to set a new record high at more than 50 cents per coin. The cryptocurrency was trading at about 54 cents, according to data from Coin Metrics.

THE WOMAN ALEX PRETTI TRIED TO SAVE FINALLY BREAKS SILENCE — HER SHOCKING REVELATION COULD SHAKE THE INVESTIGATION In the chaotic moments before Alex Pretti was fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis earlier this month, another American was directly involved — a woman he was reportedly trying to assist when the deadly encounter unfolded. Video and eyewitness accounts from the incident show Pretti moving toward her after she was shoved to the ground by immigration officers during an operation. Now, that woman has stepped forward with a startling account. According to sworn affidavits and witness testimony filed in court , she says Pretti was not advancing on agents with a weapon , as federal authorities initially claimed, but instead was attempting to help her after she had been knocked down. Her statement — included in legal filings challenging the official narrative — paints a dramatically different picture of the moments leading...
