The Libertarian Party has become infiltrated by some utterly rotten and deranged people. I urge all remaining decent Libertarians to join me in voting to end the Libertarian Party forever.

Would you vote for a Thomas Massie & Rand Paul Presidency in 2028?

🦔Meta's $10 billion Hyperion data center in Richland Parish, Louisiana, will receive $3.3 billion in state and local tax breaks over 20 years, enough to fund the state's entire police budget for more than seven years. The deal exempts Meta from sales and use taxes on roughly $35 billion in GPUs. Louisiana is one of 36 states offering tax breaks for data centers, with Virginia foregoing $1.9 billion annually, Georgia $2.6 billion, and Texas jumping from $150 million to over $1 billion in a single year. Only 11 of those 36 states disclose which companies receive the breaks. Local opposition blocked 48 data center projects worth $156 billion in 2025. My Take Louisiana taxpayers are subsidizing Meta's GPU purchases at a rate exceeding what the state spends on most of its public services, and Meta is spending $135 billion on capex this year. The company does not need help getting off the ground. The justification comes down to 500 operational jobs once construction ends, which does not pencil out in any honest accounting of public investment return. The race keeps happening because states are competing against each other, and the only beneficiaries are the hyperscalers playing them off. 25 of the 36 states giving away billions refuse to disclose which companies are receiving the breaks, which removes the accountability that would normally check this kind of arrangement. Good Jobs First says the $3.3 billion estimate likely understates the true subsidy because nobody outside the deal actually knows what got promised in the contract. Local opposition blocking $156 billion in projects last year is the only mechanism currently slowing the race, and the disparity between what hyperscalers are getting and what communities receive in return is wide enough that a reckoning on these deals is coming. The only question is whether it arrives before the next 3,000 data centers get built or after. Hedgie🤗

The LP would be better off had Ron Paul never been born. On net, the damage he's caused the movement - and the party - vastly outweigh whatever good can be claimed from his actions.

Lauren Boebert will campaign with Thomas Massie in Kentucky tomorrow and is expected to endorse him. Just another snake going against President Trump. I’m glad these frauds are exposing themselves right now. Her political days are numbered.

On April 4th, a likely mentally-ill African man was behaving erratically in a Market Basket parking lot. I exchanged words with him, encouraging him to leave both the parking lot and the beautiful state of New Hampshire entirely. For this, I was arrested. Neither of us came within physical reach of one another, and I expect the matter to be dropped by the city of Manchester. Additionally, I am exploring legal action against the city. This incident is yet another example of how our government treats mentally-ill and dangerous African men as saints, and how the police prevent decent men from maintaining order in American cities and towns. The footage of my arrest is below. As someone who loves New Hampshire and attempts to make our state look good, it embarrasses me that our police our this incompetent.

I'm hoping that the National Libertarian Party delegates reject all platform and bylaw proposals that get presented in Grand Rapids. The platform is not a marketing tool, but woke leftists on the national platform committee just want to virtue signal with it and turn the LP into a pro-abortion/condem bigotry/pro-trans organization with their proposals. I reject the idea that the National LP platform needs to include language about gender identity, specifically add back in pro-abortion rhetoric, and trying to add back "bIgOtRy Is IrRaTiOnAl AnD rEpUgNaNt" retardation. If you are going to Grand Rapids, REJECT ALL amendments to the platform or bylaws.

This is one of the most inspiring things I've seen in years. 30 independent creators on X with over 40 million followers are currently en route to KY to help Thomas Massie defeat AIPAC. This is fkn incredible.
