@John_F_kJr Pay taxes on what? They are not a "for profit" entity. What income do they generate that could be taxed?

@GOPoversight Where is the enforcement, prosecution, penalties, and accountability for those responsible? I appreciate your work, but would prefer to see fewer hearings and more arrests. If you uncover corruption and fail to follow up with consequences, nothing will change.

Mr. Matta, we both agree that we need more enforcement, arrests, and accountability. My only push back I have is targeting the FBI. The FBI is only able to enforce the laws that the corrupt politicians create (with loopholes and exceptions in every one). If a politician is exposed, they don't pay any penalties or get removed from office. I think you bring up some good points, however, I think the solution is to have the Treasury, IRS, and DOJ bring in a SWAT team of auditors and invest in better technology that would expose more. From there, bring in the law enforcement. If we keep voting for corrupt/incompetent leadership who turn into multi-millionaires after serving 4 years in office, while earning $150k in salary, and are above the law, the fault lies with us.

Losing contact and/or support of a handful of ignorant, close-minded individuals who don't support an individual's right to their own thoughts and opinions is a positive and only hurts Jay Z and whoever the other guy is. @NICKIMINAJ was simply being herself and impressing tens of thousands of like-minded people who are now new fans who have already elevated her career. If anything, Jay Z is the obvious loser here.

🚨 BREAKING: Prominent Black conservative just went SCORCHED EARTH on Joe Budden and Jay-Z for straight-up CUTTING OFF Nicki Minaj after her bold appearance at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest! He called them out HARD: "Y'all quick to cancel Nicki for speaking her mind and aligning with conservatives, but stay silent when it fits your narrative!" Then he turned to the Black community: "We're so brainwashed – we exile anyone who dares think differently, vote red, or challenge the status quo. Free thought is dead if it doesn't match the hive mind!" This is the wake-up call we NEED. Nicki stands tall while the gatekeepers try to silence her. Who's really anti-Black here? 🤔💥 #NickiMinaj #JoeBudden #JayZ #BlackConservatives #WakeUp #CancelCultureExposed #MAGA #HipHopPolitics

Healthcare isn’t expensive. It’s unpriced. Imagine a $5 trillion asset class with no ticker symbol, no forward curve, no benchmark price. You can’t hedge it. You can’t short it. You can’t even know what you’re paying for it until after you’ve bought it. That’s American healthcare. The largest unpriced market on Earth. We’ve built an economy the size of Japan, denominated entirely in opacity. Every other trillion-dollar sector, energy, agriculture, and equities, has transparent pricing, derivatives markets, and liquidity. Healthcare remains pre-industrial. Traded through bilateral contracts, intermediaries, and political negotiation rather than price. This isn’t a cost problem. It’s a market structure failure.

Lot of posts copying the likes of @BernieSanders @SenWarren and @AOC calling for more taxes on Billionaire @elonmusk, forgetting that in 2021 he paid a 53% rate of tax totaling $11b. They all repeat the claim that his company has received benefits of $38b from the US Government. Let's look at his REAL economic impact to the U.S. It's mind blowing. Musk’s ventures currently contribute $100–140B in annual GDP impact, or roughly 0.4% of total U.S. GDP. And growing faster – considerably faster – than the US economy, promising even greater contributions in the future. That’s more annual contribution to US GDP than entire annual GDP of smaller U.S. states, like West Virginia (~$108 billion, 0.37%) or Hawaii (~$116 billion, 0.40%). And growing faster. On top of that NASA and US Department of War have cumulatively saved over $40 billion as a direct result of SpaceX delivering a reduction in the cost of delivery of launch and communication services over traditional vendors. SO much for Musk Companies having "received" $38b. In other words, had the U.S. not paid Musk companies $38b, then the US would have had to spend $78b with competitors (and possibly then not received a delivery of the goods ordered! Boeing, looking at you.) Not to mention that Starlink practically saved Ukraine from being overrun in the early days of the Russian invasion. Seems we are all, all Americans - and citizens of the world in fact - benefiting from the growth of Musk’s net worth. Here are the numbers: Please post this in response to every post you see bleating about Musk being a billionaire or trillionaire and how its so terrible.

@mcuban Thank you @mcuban! Please continue to promote, clear and obvious, free market solutions to our health care cost crisis. I've asked myself for years, why am I not able to shop for a standard blood test, x-ray, etc? I hope this turns into a fantastic business for you!!

Because the procedure and consumables are the exact same for everyone. Volume is required to make more money, so prices are pushed lower. Plastic surgery is the same for anything not custom. When you can advertise to a specific procedure and it’s standard , prices can go down You see the same thing with ASCs. Hip replacement , knee replacement. Etc. DPC has the same advantage. These aren’t the cost drivers for 6t in healthcare costs. These aren’t the things that keep people up at night. When you see “Need a heart or lung transplant, Dr Strangelove has been your transplant king in Pittsburgh for the last 20 years. We will have you in and out for the low low price of $1,995. Financing available “ ads on a billboard , Or “If a family member has had a catastrophic accident , have the ambulance come to Surgeons R Us. We can fix anything for a flat fee of $2,995 ! “ We take HSA, FSA and Bitcoin “ Then we can talk about it being a free market that competes with the behemoths Right now the huge incumbents are Too Big To Care
Crappie-doc 🐟🎣@crappiedoc

@GeBaiDC @mcuban Ge. How is it that cosmetic/plastic surgery costs and prices have increased at a fraction of general healthcare costs over the last several decades, yet the majority in these specialties remain in private practice?

🦔Insurance companies are paying small rating agencies to upgrade their risky investments to "investment grade" so they can use more leverage, and one firm operating out of a four-bedroom house rated 3,000 deals last year. US insurers are using smaller credit rating agencies to rate their private credit holdings as investment grade, even though those same holdings were rated significantly lower by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. NAIC found that ratings from private letter agencies averaged 2.74 notches higher than their own Securities Valuation Office, with small agencies giving ratings 3 notches higher. When securities migrated from NAIC ratings to private letter ratings in 2023, 80% received upgrades, just 4% were downgraded. The eight instances where a rating moved six or more notches were all from smaller firms. One small rating agency, Egan-Jones, operates out of a four-bedroom house outside Philadelphia with 20 analysts and rated more than 3,000 private credit deals in 2024. Global Atlantic, owned by KKR, has a quarter of its $100 billion bond portfolio carrying private letter ratings. My Take Here's what's happening in plain terms. Insurance companies make loans and invest in debt. Regulators require them to hold cash reserves as a safety cushion based on how risky those investments are. The safer the investment, the less cash they need to set aside, which means they can use more leverage and make more money. So insurers have a strong incentive to get their investments rated as "investment grade" rather than "junk." The government agency that rates these investments, the NAIC, wasn't giving insurers the ratings they wanted. So insurers started paying smaller private rating agencies for second opinions. When they did this, 80% of the time the investment got upgraded to a better rating. Sometimes the upgrade was six notches higher, which is massive. One of these rating agencies operates out of a four-bedroom house with 20 analysts and somehow rated 3,000 deals in a year. That's not careful analysis, that's a rating factory. This matters because life insurers have $1 trillion tied up in private credit, a lot of it connected to AI infrastructure loans. If those assets are labeled "investment grade" by friendly rating agencies but are actually much riskier, the insurers are holding way less capital than they should be for the risk they've taken on. When loans start defaulting, the losses will be bigger than anyone expects because the ratings were inflated. This is the exact same game that happened before 2008 with mortgage-backed securities. Bad assets get good ratings, everyone uses more leverage thinking they're safe, and when things go wrong, the whole system takes the hit at once. Hedgie🤗

At this point, it seems as though NGO's only exist for corrupt purposes. Please watch this video, it is appalling and sad. If someone, more aware than myself, is able to simply explain to me why NGO's exist, how this distribution of money is legal, and who is in charge of oversight, it would be appreciated. Let's get together on this one. This is absurd and is happening all over the country while our leadership and law enforcement do nothing.
Wall Street Apes@WallStreetApes

Maine residents speak out against $6.6 million dollars in donations meant for victims of a mass shooting are being distributed to NGOs and sent to Africa instead of being given to victims - $1.9 million was evenly divided among 29 local nonprofits - Money sent to Africa to buy weapons of war - Empowered Immigrant Women Unite NGO got a portion of mass shooting donations - New Mainers Public Health Initiative NGO got a portion of mass shooting donations - Somali Bantu Community Association NGO got a portion of mass shooting donations Many survivors, family members, and residents argue that donors intended most or all funds for direct victims, not nonprofits “I, and many others in the community, refuse to accept Maine Community Foundation's distribution of that money, as people who survived gunshot wounds still have unpaid hospital bills. Meanwhile, some of that money has gone directly to Africa to fund weapons of war, and the money that stayed in this community has also not benefited anyone who was present the night of the shooting. We quite literally don't know how most of it was used.”

New from @ThomasCatenacci on the Stacey Abrams-linked NGO, Power Forward Communities, that made $100 in total revenue in 2023 and then got a $2 BILLION grant from the Biden EPA:   Of the money Power Forward Communities received from the Biden EPA by the end of last year, “more than half went to Abrams's Rewiring America. Power Forward Communities reported that the grant funding was its sole source of revenue last year, indicating that it acted as a pass-through established to distribute taxpayer funds primarily to Rewiring America but under a different name. It disbursed the funding to Rewiring America as Abrams served as its senior counsel and senior adviser, a role she held between March 2023 and early 2025."   I proudly cancelled this grant in March, citing the rampant self-dealing, conflicts of interest, unqualified recipients, and reduced government oversight. The Trump EPA refuses to light taxpayer dollars on fire, which is exactly what the Biden Administration enthusiastically did. The days of these absurd green slush funds are OVER! freebeacon.com/democrats/stac…

🚨GAO reveals active fraud in Obamacare ⬇️   Since 2024, GAO has created 20 fake enrollee profiles within the Obamacare system to receive subsidized healthcare insurance.   Today, 18 of the 20 profiles are still active!   These 18 FAKE people are costing the taxpayer $10,000 a MONTH in premiums.   CMS has still not caught these fraudulent accounts that GAO created—they are still actively in the system.   This is the unacceptable reality of Obamacare. Something needs to change, immediately.

Thank you ! Some thoughts. @costplusdrugs has the ability to manufacture generics here in the USA. Doesn’t matter whether they are OTC or prescription. The ingredients, their cost and the cost to manufacture, are exactly the same. We did the math. We can bring tablet manufacturing of generics to the USA. Take us about a year. But we can’t. If we want to manufacture 1,000 new drugs and get ANDAs for them , that’s 365m in fees to the FDA. (365k ea). Waive those fees. We will be up and running and selling them on CostPlusDrugs.com and TrumpRx for the same or less than it costs for those made overseas ! Thank you for your consideration !
Dr. Marty Makary@DrMakaryFDA

We need more drugs to be “over-the-counter” (no prescription required). ✅ More price transparency = more competition & LOWER DRUG PRICES ✅ A prescription is necessary for some meds, but for others that are safe, the Rx just adds cost and inconvenience.  ✅ FDA will be cutting red tape to deliver more safe and affordable OTC drugs!

Ted Cruz on the "Trump Accounts": "Take a little girl born next year—the accounts open, $1k is automatically seeded, her parents, her family, her employer puts $5,000 each year. Assuming growth of S&P 500, which is 7% a year, by the time that little girl is 18, she will have $170,000 in that account. If she keeps saving, by the time that little girl is 35, she will have $700,000 in that account."

Mr. Swanson, why do people include Blockchain as a reason to own #BTC? Blockchain is a technology that supports many different things (including Bitcoin). However, how does BTC add value there? Also, are you able to point to any chart that shows a correlation between crypto and inflation?

The simplest way to see that Michael Saylor and Bitcoin maxis don’t actually believe in Bitcoin is this: If they truly believed in BTC, they wouldn’t be begging nation states, investment firms, and retail investors to pile in, even telling people to sell their kidneys to buy more. All that does is drag more buyers into the market and push the price up, which stops them from accumulating cheaply. And here’s the kicker. If I discovered a genuine hidden gem I was fully confident would change the world, I wouldn’t beg the entire world to jump in. I’d quietly accumulate behind the scenes. People who truly believe in an asset don’t try to pump it before they’ve secured their position. They have limited conviction, they are overexposed, and they need a constant flow of new money to keep the price inflated so they can walk away with larger fiat gains. Notice something else. They never talk about actual utility. It’s always empty slogans like “Bitcoin is going to $1 million.” That alone exposes the mindset. If fiat were as worthless and corrupt as they insist, they wouldn’t care whether BTC hit one million or one billion, because those numbers would be meaningless. They’d price everything in BTC instead. Bitcoin is unarguably a vehicle for speculative gamblers chasing fiat profits. The irony is harsh, given that the same people publicly claim to reject fiat.
