@SeanParnellASW @PeteHegseth Well, when they spelled defense defence, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see it as bullshit
English

This allegation is entirely false and fabricated. Neither Secretary Hegseth nor any of his representatives approached BlackRock about any such investment. This is yet another baseless, dishonest smear designed to mislead the public.
We demand an immediate retraction.
Secretary Hegseth and the Department of War remain unwavering in their commitment to the highest standards of ethics and strict adherence to all applicable laws and regulations.

@citrini Oh yes please. Superconductor Technologies SCON 1999-2000 mooned to over $100 for about fifteen minutes. I had sold a few days before after playing the $3-4 spread for months.
Wireless antenna enhancement was their gig at the time.

@GlobalMacroZen So much of America has never had any connection to the land. First Peoples, most of them, understand this.

@volcaholic1 Wait a minute. You're saying you can use stored solar power at night? 😅🤣😂

@Lex_Jurgen @BlakeCousins @CitizenCohn @WIRED 30% federal tax credit would knock that down to $1500. Many municipalities have additional incentives.

@BlakeCousins @CitizenCohn @WIRED When I got my EV, that was my first call. I got four quotes to upgrade the panel and wiring, all for $2K+, which didn't make sense as a premium. I spoke to several other friends who told me the same. So we all charge externally.

BYD just unveiled an electric car that can charge from 10 to 70 percent in five minutes, and all the way in nine
More proof that EVs are going to dominate the future, just a question of how long it takes — and who will build them

@ClutchYadi @biancoresearch Actually the majority of US citizenry does care. A rogue president and cabinet whose goal is to enrich themselves doesn’t.

@biancoresearch The U.S. has made it pretty clear it doesn’t care about violations of international law

The only reason I do not allow my children to play in the middle of the highway is the cars speeding at 70 MPH. Otherwise, the highway is open as a playground.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth states that the Strait of Hormuz is “open for transit” and the only thing preventing that is continued drone and missile attacks by Iran.

@onechancefreedm You are the most cogent person on my feed. Really appreciate your writing style and thoughtfulness.

Awake in a World That Cannot See Itself
One of the hardest things to accept is that the world runs on managed perception far more than most people realize. The deeper you go, the more you see how much of what passes for reality is filtered through institutions, incentives, fear, habit, and narrative. People are constantly being guided toward certain conclusions, certain emotions, and certain priorities, often without ever noticing how much of their worldview was shaped for them. That does not mean everything is fake. It means very little arrives untouched. Most people are not seeing the world as it is. They are seeing it through layers that were built long before they ever thought to question them.
What makes this even harder is that everyone wakes up to that fact at a different pace. Some never question the surface because life has given them no reason to. Some feel that something is wrong but cannot yet explain it. Some see through one layer of illusion only to get trapped inside another. Some become cynical and think cynicism itself is wisdom. And some reach a point where they can no longer look at politics, media, war, finance, or institutions in the same innocent way again. That uneven awakening is one of the biggest reasons true cohesion is so rare. People may live in the same country, watch the same events, and speak the same language, yet still be reacting from completely different levels of awareness. They are not starting from the same assumptions, the same trust, the same pain, or the same understanding of how power actually works. So even when large numbers of people are being pushed in directions that do not benefit them, they struggle to move together because they are not seeing the same reality at the same depth.
That is why life can feel so disorienting once the veil starts to lift. You realize this world was never a utopia, never as honest as it presented itself, and never organized around the well being of ordinary people as much as they were taught to believe. But that realization does not have to turn into despair. It can turn into discipline. It can teach you to become harder to manipulate, slower to react, more careful about what you accept, and more serious about the choices you make. Maybe that is the real task in a world like this. Not pretending you can wake everyone up at once, and not letting bitterness consume you, but learning to see clearly enough that you do not surrender your own mind. To think carefully. To move wisely. And to protect the people you love with as much truth, strength, and discernment as you can hold onto.

Jimmy Carter installed 32 solar thermal panels on the White House West Wing roof to heat water. They were not photovoltaics. They were removed in 1986 during a roof renovation, and deemed not worth reinstalling. This was not a decision by Reagan.

Trump has kept the solar panels on the White House roof that @BarackObama first installed more than a decade ago. axios.com/2026/03/11/tru… via @axios Jimmy Carter first put some on in the wake of the 1970's oil crisis in a symbol of energy security.

An ongoing US military investigation has determined that the US is responsible for the Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school because of a targeting mistake.
It’s one of the most devastating single military errors in recent decades. nytimes.com/2026/03/11/us/…

@krassenstein No, what you are doing is crying when Trump trolls you. That was clearly a joke, and you fell for the bait.

BREAKING: Trump just asked if he could start charging people for endorsements, in a speech at the Shield Of Americas event he's hosting at his country club in Doral.
"They beg me for an endorsement. I give them an endorsement and they win by 30 points. And I get nothing. If I could sell that? Is there a way I could get paid for that?"

@danbennett31 @elerianm US taxpayers paying the insurance so that big oil can make bigger profits on increased gas prices so consumers taxpayers get the double whammy thanks to our no more foreign wars president

The US offer to provide protection and insurance for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz is a necessary step, but is it sufficient?
While it helps with the ABILITY to navigate the Strait, there remains the question of ship owners'/operators' WILLINGNESS to do so.
