Good Morning DC,
The jury has reached a verdict regarding Johnny Depp’s defamation suit against Amber Heard. Depp has won his multimillion-dollar legal case, and former wife Amber Heard will have to pay him $15 million in damages. He will pay her only $2 million in compensatory damages and none for punitive ones.
How will Heard pay Depp? She does not have that-kind-of-money. If the new chapter for Depp has “finally begun“, he should just write off $15 million and move on.
“A civilized divorce is a contradiction in terms” isn’t it?

DIGITAL ASSETS
“I would really like to see some policy on stablecoins first. The industry can decide if they want to be approved or not. I don’t care. But the whole idea that Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) and Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) both contemplated — a 30 day audit, and that underlying assets don’t have a duration of more than 12 months—that would be a good outcome,” Kevin O’Leary says in an exclusive interview with The Pavlovic Today.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS
President Biden has reversed his stance and agreed to supply Ukraine with rockets with a range of nearly 50 miles.
Russia is not happy and Moscow has accused Biden of adding fuel to the fire.
PM Boris Johnson wants President Biden to approve the UK’s intention to supply Ukraine with the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) capable of striking targets 50 miles away.
The UK government is looking into a legal way to seize billions of pounds in frozen oligarch assets to rebuild Ukraine. Liz Truss, the foreign secretary, is leading the way.
PM Boris Johnson is losing his influence in the Conservative party. As more Conservative Members of the Parliament want PM Boris Johnson to face a no-confidence vote, Johnson’s allies keep labeling them as “narcissists.” According to Jacob Rees-Mogg, Johnson is “a great leader, and the country’s lucky to have him.”
