“I don’t want to understand them—I want to punish them.” That line hit me hard. But here's the truth: If we refuse to understand before we punish, we don't want justice—we want wrath. And wrath, burns everything. This might be the most important thing I’ve written. Link below.

There is no political solution, but if there was, this would be the closest thing to it.

Today's vibes

A huge win at the Montana Supreme Court on 4 of the 2023 Legislature's "Montana Miracle" pro-housing laws! The bills were sponsored by Sens. Forrest Mandeville, Daniel Zolnikov, Greg Hertz, and Jeremy Trebas. flatheadbeacon.com/2026/03/18/mon… #mtleg #mtpol

Tucker Carlson: "Was Iran on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon?” Joe Kent: “No. They weren't three weeks ago when this started, and they weren't in June either.”

BREAKING: MTSC rules unanimously in the MAID v Montana case to uphold the 2023 Montana Miracle housing reforms. COMPLETE AND TOTAL VICTORY! Will read the full order now. Stay tuned.. Shout out to intervenors @MontanaLeague @PacificLegal @Shelter_WF for their strong defense.

I've been working on something, and we're seven days out from launch. The American Dream isn't dead -- it's blocked. BuildtheAmericanDream.org @Buildthedreamhq

I interviewed @brandan_buck about @joekent16jan19’s resignation and the Iran war

If you need an ID to get a hunting tag & a fishing license, you need an ID to vote.

The problem with taping an ad about the U.S. debt and airing it a few months later: When we filmed this, the debt was a trillion dollars less than today! Please keep my campaign out of debt: secure.thomasmassie.com/donate

I asked @RonPaul what advice he has for young Americans who oppose this war

Joe Kent’s resignation today is proof of exactly this @joekent16jan19 is a combat vet and Gold Star husband. He ran for Congress as a Republican. He’s as America First as you can get. I’d say this is one of the most damning resignations an admin could have.

@beinlibertarian Let's bring it back around!

@Grummz Someone port this into Mass Effect Andromeda, and it won't look quite so much like a horror show. It won't help the writing and dialogue, but man, it couldn't hurt the overall feel.

Here's everything we know about Nvidia's "greatest leap in graphics since real-time ray tracing" You can see Digital Foundry's jaw drop in this reaction after they just saw DLSS 5.0: - Will ship in Fall of 2026! - Demo ran 4k on 2 5090's but is already running on single GPU in their labs. - Will run and ship on single GPUs. - Doesn't change the scene or geo, just relights it super accurately. - Nvidia say they look at this as trying to anticipate the original, fully realized vision of the game. - Works on environments, not just characters. - Todd Howard has signed off on it, saying it's how he wanted Starfield to be seen. - Developer can tune DLSS 5 lighting. - You can apply to games as primitive as Minecraft, it's not just for high end games. - Developers are already on board. - Should scale with output resolutions. "I don't think I've seen a demo as astonishing as this..."

This episode is less about one congressional race and more about a fundamental question facing American politics: whether the movement that once defined itself by constitutional restraint can survive the pressures of personality-driven politics.

More Regulation = More Building Cost More Regulation = Less Supply Less Supply + More Building Cost = Unattainable New Home Prices The math is simple. Tear down unnecessary regulations and unlock affordable housing supply.

What was it about the 2008 and 2012 @RonPaul campaigns that created such an enduring movement? I share my thoughts before interviewing the man himself and react to the “Giuliani moment” from 19 years ago:

@PaperhackWriter @MLiamMcCollum @RonPaul Who said do nothing was the alternative?

@MLiamMcCollum @RonPaul Don't Libertarians oppose the Iranian state getting nuclear weapons because libertarians oppose ALL states having nuclear weapons? If libertarians oppose the Iranian state getting nukes, why then is the "correct" libertarian policy "do nothing" to get our desired outcome?

The war he’s been warning about for decades is finally here. The great @RonPaul joined me to discuss where we go from here, and advice for young Americans who oppose this war.

There is a sense in which predictive power ie foresight is the metric of wisdom. Ron Paul is one of the wisest congressmen of all time, everyone should listen to him, even and especially if you disagree with him.
