Washington Post readers launched a wave of criticism Friday after the Jeff Bezos-owned publication published a Mother's Day column attributed to Melania Trump.

Titled "Mothers are America's strength," the piece prompted hundreds of comments expressing skepticism about authorship, with readers questioning if President Donald Trump wrote the column instead.

Critics raised concerns about the publication's credibility, given Melania's reported $28 million payment from Bezos for the box office flop "Melania" documentary. Commenters also expressed dissatisfaction with the Trump administration's policies on family support, healthcare, and immigration, while questioning why the Post would platform the piece.

Several readers announced subscription cancellations, citing the column as the final straw following Bezos's ownership and staff layoffs. Readers characterized the piece as lacking substance and being out of touch with American families' realities.

The controversy highlighted broader concerns about the Post's editorial direction under Bezos's ownership.

Kalshi Launches KalshiEco to Boost Prediction Market With Solana and Base

The post Kalshi Launches KalshiEco to Boost Prediction Market With Solana and Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. On Wednesday, Kalshi introduces the KalshiEco hub with the support from Solana and Base to bolster prediction market growth. The initiative would bolster selected builders, traders, and creators with hands-on support, including grant funding, engineering assistance, referral programs, etc.  Kalshi faces legal scrutiny in Massachusetts as the firm is accused of running unlicensed sports betting under the guise of a prediction market. Kalshi, the federally regulated prediction market operator, is expanding its operations into the broader trading and builder community by introducing KalshiEco, a program that the operator is experimenting with to serve developers, traders, and creators trying on-chain and off-chain prediction market projects.

KalshiEco Ecosystem Growth The KalshiEco program is designed such that it establishes feedback between the builders and audiences. Developers are also encouraged to release new applications; creators, on the other hand, promote those tools to a wider audience, which in turn is likely to draw more attention and further development of the project.
