@VivekGRamaswamy Vivek - "Next generation nuclear" means some kind of new reactor I spose. So when will we have the first nuclear plant completed? What process is being used to license them?

Spawning the next generation of nuclear energy will go down in history as one of the greatest achievements of the Trump administration.

@GenFlynn @POTUS General - My thoughts on this is there is no war to exit. We routed them the first few days. But it is too soon to leave. Continue the blockade and snuff them out.

Breaking: Thoughts on Exiting this War in the Middle East It has become very clear that the majority of Americans are not happy with the war with Iran and it is also clear the @POTUS is searching for an exit strategy to extricate ourselves from this war. How should we exit? The United States can easily exit its direct military involvement in this conflict by treating any drawdown as a deliberate, conditions-based success rather than a retreat. This is not wishful thinking. This idea aligns with how great powers have historically managed limited wars when core objectives are met or costs outweigh benefits. The key is timing, sequencing, and maintaining deterrence during any drawdown so adversaries (ie., Iran & its proxies) see it as strength, and not a weakness. @realDonaldTrump has made it clear that we are not in an open-ended war. The U.S. & Israeli strikes on Iran targeted nuclear sites, missile infrastructure, and leadership targets, including killing Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei. We accomplished our stated objectives. The rapid (tactical) degradation of Iranian capabilities caused severe damage but also caused an immediate (and somewhat unexpected) retaliation from Iran. Despite Iran paying a heavy price in infrastructure destruction, international isolation, and economic disruption, the regime has sustained control over their country. And unlike Afghanistan & Iraq, regime was never a stated objective. This is not a Vietnam (helicopters out of Saigon) or Afghanistan (truck bomb at Abbey Gate) type scenario. There are no large U.S. combat formations trapped in endless occupation. Our exit is logistically straightforward. 1. Wind down the blockade. 2. Reduce carrier presence. 3. Shift advisory/support roles to partners who have a greater need for regional security and access. 4. Assess the factions remaining inside Iran and whether they require assistance and how that assistance can be delivered. So what? Adversaries test resolve while allies watch for abandonment. These dynamics must be understood. What next and are their viable paths? 1.  Declare mission accomplished on core objectives and negotiate a favorable armistice. Keep the current talks going and bring in other participants as needed. 2.  Maintain a light footprint in the region and hand off the “peace dividend” and reconstruction to multilateral forums (ie., the Gaza Board of Peace). 3.  State that America is conducting a strategic reset and reprioritizing global demands (this is necessary anyway, does not mean defeat and could simply be stated by announcing a pivot). America doesn’t need the quagmire that the Middle East has been any longer. The real political losers were those that got us into AFG & Iraq in the first place. The U.S. is making a strategic calculation here to continue peace efforts but resetting for future opportunities and challenges. Are there Risks? 1. Iran will attempt to exploit as their win and our loss. To deter this, America must demonstrate that deterrence in the future is about capability and will (which Americans have in abundance if our vital interests are at risk) and not permanent presence. 2. Allied perception will cause uncertainty. The Israeli government and Gulf states will worry about abandonment. Simply reassure them w/ continuation of both security guarantees and arms flows tied to their own restraint. 3. On the domestic front, the NEOCON hawks will cry in their soup, while America First voices will cheer Trump’s deal making success. These are just some initial thoughts. Great powers throughout history involved in previous campaigns have exited limited wars when gains begin to diminish. A path clearly exists. Execution now depends on clear communications from the Trump administration that strength enabled America’s exit. God Bless our Troops and God Bless America🙏🏼🇺🇸

The whole concept of a data center just seems wrong. All that power, all those machines. We are running 22nd century software on 21st century hardware. It doesn't feel right. If we had never developed electricity or electronics, our computers would be mechanical contraptions with gears and pulleys and powered by steam boilers. They would be housed in massive structures blacking out the landscape. Yes, it would be ridiculous. My point is, there are major consequences when our technology progresses in the wrong order.

This is a real problem. In Florida we have 5 data centers that are in various phases of development. @Paul_Renner - republican candidate for the Governor of Florida, is standing up and SAYING NO to the mass deployment of these across our state. @RennerWarRoom

@Newsforce Diesel fuel nozzles are designed to be larger than gasoline nozzles so that you can't mis-fuel a gasoline engine. The stupid nozzle won't fit.

🇨🇦ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL HITS RETIREES WITH $9,500 BILL OVER BASELESS DIESEL CLAIM A Canadian retired couple says Enterprise accused them of damaging a rental SUV by putting diesel fuel in it after an April 2025 trip. They deny the claim, pointing to fuel receipts showing regular gasoline, a 7-Eleven pump that offers no diesel, and a capless fuel system designed to prevent misfueling. Enterprise pursued a $9,500 CAD bill for months before dropping the case after legal pressure and media attention.

@SenTomCotton @TomCottonAR Tom - We are not concerned about "potential" attacks. It's the real ones we worry about.

Our hospitals, power plants, water treatment facilities, and other critical infrastructure sites can’t remain sitting ducks for potential drone attacks. My bill will ensure these important sites are protected from all unauthorized drones. cbsnews.com/news/tom-cotto…

@MarkLynchSC @annvandersteel Maybe I didn't hear you correctly. It almost sounds like you said that a four-year degree makes a person qualified.

25% of those unemployed in America today have a four-year degree. The idea that we need to import workers because companies like Amazon, Oracle, FedEx, and others can’t find qualified Americans is flat-out WRONG. They want to cut costs by hiring H-1B employees for a fraction of the wage, then force Americans to train their replacements before getting laid off. We need to END H-1B, OPT, and other visa programs that lead to one outcome: UNEMPLOYED AMERICANS. America First means American workers first!

@BlaineWilhour @IsIllinois "Working Families" "Working Families" "Working Families" Are you getting tired of it yet?

Working families in Illinois are getting crushed, and now Springfield wants them to foot the bill for a new stadium for the Chicago Bears. Same story: billionaire deals, taxpayer pain. It’s spineless. And Illinois families are the ones paying for it.

What do I think? These robots are performing mundane tasks. Just look at them. They are NOT replacing humans. Is THAT what you think of humanity? That we are for doing mindless mundane work? Absolutely not. These machines can do it. But they will never replace a person. I have hired many people over my career. And I can say with certainty that not once have I hired a person to come into the workplace and behave like these stupid things.

I’ve warned about robots replacing humans, and this video makes it real. It’s not just about efficiency—it’s about purpose. What happens to our work and our identity? What about our kids and their future jobs? People like Elon Musk talk about universal basic income. Curious what you think after watching.

@antonioguterres Not just fossil fuels. We are also addicted to water, food and air. Please Antonio, help us kick our foolish addictions.

#EarthDay is a reminder of the fragility of our world. But we know what must be done: End our addiction to fossil fuels. Accelerate the renewables revolution. Protect & restore nature. Deliver climate justice for the most vulnerable. Let’s #ActNow – for people & planet.

Just a thought. If quantum computing is a threat to crypto in the near future, then it follows that the QC threat to traditional finance must be even greater. It presents an additional level of urgency to security enhancement. And not only that, it also suggests that we might be forever playing catch up to protect ourselves from our own smart gadgets.

@VivekGRamaswamy So what's the problem. The schools don't teach anything.

These numbers are eye-popping. Under-enrollment is now a crisis in both K-12 and higher education. It’s causing per-student costs to spiral while results continue to decline. State politicians who wax eloquent while ignoring the problem don’t actually care about our kids.

I have seen this stuff shut down an entire power station. I hope they're ready.

@elonmusk Wait. A plugin for Excel? If it will fix my spreadsheets, it would be worth the price of admission.

Plugins for Excel, PowerPoint, Word, … coming soon

@cb_doge No Elon. The idea that prices will be vanishingly small as supplies grow does not work in our reality. No matter how many robots you have, producers will still give up as prices fall. On paper, you can create infinity by dividing by zero. In reality, not so much.

"Things will just be free in the future. Sounds nuts, but if you've got an AI or robotics economy that is anywhere close to million times the size of the current Earth economy, literally any need you possibly want can be met. If you can think of it, you can have it" 一 Elon Musk

@WesternLensman I'm very picky about my presidents. For instance I think the president should be intelligent - much more so than Don Lemon. I also think the president should wear socks.

Don Lemon says he might run for president: “If Donald Trump could be president, why can't I be president?" 🤡🌎

@benjaminwah2016 @IsIllinois "The popular vote " is a media invention. It does not really exist. And anyway, there is no constitutional mechanism to deliver such a vote to congress for certification. The entire argument is just fiction.

Who knew that Illinois joined a coalition of states that want to ignore our votes and give all of our electoral votes to whomever wins the popular vote? “once enough states join the National Popular Vote Compact to hit that 270 mark, every participating state agrees to hand its electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote, regardless of how their own state's voters cast their ballots. It's the Electoral College in name only - a clever workaround to rewrite the rules without bothering with a constitutional amendment process.” @Awake_IL @illinoispolicy @IllinoisExposed @IsIllinois @FlipChicagoRed @DanButtersChi @Popcorn00Fresh @kim_chee27 @WGNRobin @AnitaPadilla32 @macroaggressio3 @adamcurry @JeanneIves notthebee.com/article/virgin…

@Bubblebathgirl @WesternLensman Income tax filings only require that your "income" is documented. There is no requirement to document your net worth. She is basically an idiot.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) now insists she’s not a multimillionaire and claims a tax filing error incorrectly inflated her net worth. An amended filing by Omar shows a net worth of up to just $95,000, not the $30 million she previously reported. “Omar’s lawyer is blaming their reliance on accountants for the error.” This is what panic looks like. Omar’s husband’s winery and other fraudulent business ventures have drawn scrutiny to her own shady financial dealings. She’s admitted to taking donations from Somali fraudsters in Minnesota (she claimed to return them) and did promotions for businesses owned by the Somali frauds. It’s safe to question what complicity Omar has had in her husband’s alleged frauds. Omar’s campaign paid nearly $2.8 million to E Street Group, a political consulting firm co-owned by her husband, Tim Mynett, between July 2019 and November 2020. These payments for services like advertising and fundraising constituted a significant portion of the firm’s revenue and drew intense scrutiny, prompting Omar to sever ties with the firm in late 2020. How much of that money did Mynett personally keep? How much was then spent on Omar and/or business ventures she profited from? The mountain of corrupt behavior from Omar keeps growing, and as she tries to cover it up, she just keeps making herself look worse. Who claims they have a net worth of up to $30 million when it’s really only up to $95,000? (FoxNewsChannelClips on YT)

Musk has lit the fuse on an idea that really needs a lot of consideration. He is suggesting one of the ways we could live through a cultural shift to universal abundance where our risk/reward way of life would be replaced by . . . . . .something else. The comments on X are as expected because we don't speak from the new culture paradigm. In our reality, money is the reward for risk taking. But Musk is looking at it from another orbit. And he wants us to think about it.

This is an Agenda 2030 thrust into technocracy, with Musk fully on board.

@micah_erfan So 63% of Americans don't want their State to have any power within the federal system. Why not just get rid of all the governors and statehouses? You don't need them. Not if you don't want federalism. Just America un-united. Mr Lincoln please help us!!

🚨 63% of Americans support adopting a national popular vote for President.

@gc22gc @DowdEdward @Peoples_Pundit Let's not analyze it too much.

BARIS: ‘America First’ is what people wanted Trump to do. ‘MAGA’ is the people who still believe he will. Even among self identified America First/MAGA voters, MAGA has shrunk to like 38%. America first kicks the shit out of it.
