We pulled 6.1M H-1B petitions directly from USCIS. I could not believe what I was seeing. 93.8% were approved. That's not a screening process. That's an open door! 990 foreign workers approved to work in America per day for 17 years straight.

‼️Ownership in brokerage accounts is not real ownership!! I have $101 in a Robinhood account that I didn’t log into for ~3 years. The state wants to transfer my money out of my account into the states’ account because I didn’t log in?! Share this so that more people are aware!!

Trump wants to decrease mass deportations of illegal aliens, has dragged America into another full scale war in the Middle East, gas prices are skyrocketing, inflation will rise which means cost of living will rise, no DOGE checks have been sent to struggling Americans but instead Trump wants $200 billion for his war and 13 U.S. soldiers have been killed, no one has been held accountable for the 2020 election or Epstein or Covid insanity or J6, and Tina Peters is still in prison. This is not what we thought MAGA would be. This is the same deep state ways of Washington that we thought we ended.

Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker speaks about a Democratic "Project 2029" in which members of the current Trump administration, along with federal agents, will be criminally and civilly prosecuted. "Whatever it is that we can do. It may be that you cannot criminally prosecute somebody, but you can go after them civilly." Follow: @AFpost

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S. war planners significantly underestimated Iran’s willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz in response to U.S. military strikes while planning for war, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter who spoke to CNN. Top officials with the Trump Administration acknowledged to lawmakers during recent classified briefings that they did not plan for the possibility of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz in response to strikes, because they believed that a closure would hurt Iran more than the United States.

BREAKING: The odds of Democrats "sweeping" the 2026 Midterm elections have surged to a new high of 45%. The odds of a Democrat "sweep" are now up 5 percentage points since the Iran war began, per Polymarket.

most people have no idea osama bin laden denied any involvement in 9/11, condemned the attacks and accused israel of staging them… 25 years later it’s all starting to make sense…

@financialjuice 🧢

Trump: Iranians got close and then pulled back on talks, I understood from that that they do not really want a deal - Axios.

This is insane. Regime change will result in a bloody civil war, killing hundreds of thousands and creating another massive Muslim refugee crisis. Topping a leader is NEVER as easy you think. It almost always results in further involvement, a civil war, and chaos. Resist this!

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

All of Epstein’s penpals don’t like Anthropic cuz they won’t grant unfettered access to data for mass surveillance of American citizens 🙇‍♂️🤡

@KobeissiLetter 🔥🔥🔥

BREAKING: Anthropic has rejected the US Pentagon’s “final offer” just 24 hours before Defense Secretary Hegseth’s deadline, per Axios. Anthropic remains adamant on their AI platform not being used for surveillance of Americans or lethal military missions. We expect a response from the Pentagon soon.
