@WesleyHuntTX Sir, help me launch my project The Leadership Pledge - because if you can’t pledge, you can’t lead. @leaderspledge

A Democrat congressional candidate refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance and repeatedly turned her back on the American flag at Sacramento City Council meetings. My message for Mai Vang and to anyone who thinks about serving in elected office: That flag is NOT a prop. It represents the sacrifice of generations of Americans who bled, fought, and died so that free people could disagree openly in this country. And the least we can do, the absolute bare minimum, is stand for 30 seconds and say the Pledge of Allegiance. That flag is the one thing that is supposed to unite all of us. So yes, we should say the pledge. In Every committee. Every public meeting. Every generation of Americans has stood up willing to fight and die for that flag. The least we can do is stand up and HONOR it.

@RandPaul Thank you for championing this!

The scientists who wrote the "lab leak is a conspiracy theory" letter? They organized it themselves then told each other they needed "the appearance of independence." Both were paid intel informants. Both worked with the Wuhan lab. One scientist called it genetically engineered. Days later he wrote the opposite. Then got a $9 million grant. No conspiracy required. Just people covering their own tracks.

@alex_prompter I think OpenAI will end up being way behind Claude, Gemini, Grok…

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it. Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying. Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence." Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter. They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created. One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility." Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies. That's the metered intelligence business model. And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

@ResisttheMS my goodness Bernie then you should be celebrating that he’s actually bringing back self reliance, productivity and manufacturing That won’t happen in a social welfare state!

Bernie Sanders: "The American people will not accept Trump's authoritarianism!" "We will not accept oligarchy!" "We will not accept kleptocracy and corruption!" "We will not accept the continued attacks against the working class of this country!"

@RepNancyMace Love this! I am working on something called The Leadership Pledge. If you can’t pledge, you can’t lead. @leaderspledge

INTRODUCING: The No Immigration Without Assimilation Act. This bill is simple: if you hate America, you don't get to come here or stay here. Period. Before anyone receives any immigration benefit, the Department of Homeland Security will conduct a full screening to determine: Do they hold views incompatible with American principles? Are they unlikely to assimilate into American culture? Would their presence be detrimental to our culture and cultural cohesion? If the answer to any of those questions is yes, they are inadmissible. If they are already here, they are deportable. America has every right to protect its culture, its laws, and its people. Our bill is crystal clear about what disqualifying views look like: ◼️ Belief in religious law replacing or operating parallel to U.S. law, such as Sharia law ◼️ Belief religiously or politically motivated violence is justified ◼️ Belief constitutional rights should not apply to individuals ◼️ Belief authoritarian government is superior to representative democracy ◼️ Refusal to learn the English language This is not hypothetical. This is already happening on American soil. Sharia tribunals have been accused of masquerading as legal courts in Texas. Dearborn, Michigan has been accused of operating under Sharia law. The Muslim call to prayer has been broadcast through the streets of New York City whether residents wanted to hear it or not. The days of rolling out the welcome mat for people who despise this country are over. We are not a dumping ground for the third world. This bill puts America first and we will not apologize for it.

@RepNancyMace Let’s make this real… I have a plan

We are one nation under God. Not one nation under Muhammad. Sharia law has no place in America.

@nickshirleyy @pmarca I think JD & team will get right on this, they will be sued, and Supreme Court will deem unconstitutional. @grok could there be any consequences for the state legislators for passing an unconstitutional law?

🚨 California just voted to pass AB 2624 aka “The Stop Nick Shirley Act”: This bill puts journalists at civil risk for investigating fraud and makes it harder to expose fraud in “immigration support services,” including NGOs, nonprofits and health care facilities that receive hundreds of millions from the state of California each year. This bill would have made it criminal to expose fake hospices in LA or the Somali “learing center” in Minnesota if they then claim “reasonable fear” and the business owner gives a written demand not to post the video. Plain and simple, California is trying to make it harder to expose fraud and scare individuals from investigating fraud in their communities, as they could be sued for an injunction to remove the video + forced to pay their attorney fees + minimum $4,000 in damages. The Attorney General's wife, Mia Bonta, created this bill and is now trying to make it law. How is this not a conflict of interest? California is full of FRAUDSTERS!

@Rothmus He will lose.

The most interesting aspect of Zohran Mamdani’s housing plan is that it doesn’t simply transfer seized properties to the city as that could later be reversed by a future mayor. Instead, it funnels them directly to NGOs and “community stewards” that are reliably aligned with leftist priorities and unlikely to ever relinquish control. Even tenants who gain temporary possession will soon discover they lack the expertise and resources to manage buildings themselves, forcing them to rely on these permanent third-party intermediaries. This expropriation strategy didn’t start with Mamdani. Democrats laid the groundwork years ago but lacked the nerve to follow through fully. Mamdani is openly commie and has no such hesitation. The play: >impose strict rent controls that make it financially unviable for owners to properly maintain or repair their properties >blame the landlords for the resulting deterioration >label the buildings “chronically neglected” based on your own standards >seize the properties and transfer them to your political allies, the nonprofits, community land trusts, or tenant groups Because the criteria are deliberately vague and subjective, virtually any owner can be targeted. This gives authorities the power to confiscate private property at will. Mamdani’s campaign made this direction explicit. It’s about pursuing “equity” by redistributing housing stock, often framed as taking from wealthier (white) neighborhoods to benefit others. In reality, many of these properties are expected to end up under the control of nonprofits serving the city’s large foreign-born population, all within a framework of permanent “progressive” dominance. TLDR: it’s leftist plunder and pillaging, again.

@EricLDaugh this is insane

🚨 NOW: EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT state Attorney General has REFUSED to show up for JD Vance's anti-fraud roundtable at the White House Republicans showed up, but Vance specifically sent out an olive branch and invited Dems. THEY SAID NO. They're pro-fraud. Nearly 2 dozen Democrat AGs cited time constraints as the reason they can't show up. Yeah, sure. Democrats = PARTY OF FRAUD

@BasedMikeLee he’s gonna try to make an army next and disguise it as public service

Land confiscation in NYC This is socialism

@EndWokeness he can’t do it and Supreme Court will block, this is just as damaging though, long term, if he was able to.

IT BEGINS… NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveils plan to "transfer ownership" from landlords to "the community"

I am pretty sure no one is going to see Supergirl.

@gregisenberg incredible!!

I just got back from SF and I FEEL INSPIRED. I spent 5 days with frontier AI model teams, AI startup founders, and 3 billionaires. My takeaways: 1. I had lunch with 3 billionaires. All of them are buying SaaS companies and rebuilding them agent-first. They were deeply inspired by Bending Spoons and Ryan Cohen's eBay deal. Buy the company, cut the headcount, rebuild the tech, add agents, add features, make more valuable experience, raise prices. 2. The frontier model companies are hungry for usage data from the field. They can see API calls and token counts. They can't see the actual workflows. If you're deep in a niche using these models in ways the model companies haven't seen, that understanding is incredibly valuable. Usage intelligence is the new alpha. 3. Consumer AI is massively underbuilt. Every billboard in SF is either B2B inference infrastructure or vertical agent companies. The entire city is optimized for enterprise. Meanwhile you have companies like Cal AI doing $50M ARR in 18 months as a consumer app. I met with a cool few teams doing consumer AI (@paulscherer / @ekuyda) 4. MCP came up in literally every conversation. The companies exposing their product as MCP endpoints are getting pulled into deals they never pitched for. The ones that aren't are becoming invisible to agents. This is the new SEO. If agents can't find you, you don't exist. Building products for agents is the new zeitgeist in general. 5. Not uncommon for hot seed rounds to be $25-50 million valuations. I saw a Series A at $450 million 6. If I had a dollar every time someone mentioned "forward-deployed engineer" this trip I could have funded a seed round. It's the hottest role in SF right now. The person who sits between the agent and the customer, making sure everything actually works. 7. The mood around open source shifted. A year ago it felt like open source was chasing the frontier models. Now founders are telling me Gemma and DeepSeek are good enough for 80% of what they need at a fraction of the cost. The "which model do you use" conversation is being replaced by "which model for which task." Model loyalty kinda feels dead. 8. Voice agents came up more than I expected. Multiple founders told me voice is the interface for the next billion users. The billion people who will never type a prompt will absolutely talk to one. 9. The Obsidian community in SF is weirdly intense. Multiple founders showed me their vaults unprompted. Like showing someone your home gym. It's a flex now. The quality of your knowledge base (second brain?) is becoming a status symbol among builders. 10. Maybe it was just the people I met but the age of the founders is shifting. I met more founders over 40 this trip than any trip before and more founders under age 21 than ever before. Founders getting older and younger at the same time. 11. I spoke to a lot of fast-growing startups, VCs and frontier models who are hiring content creators right now. 12. The restaurant scene in SF is actually better than it's been in years. Founders are going out more. Alcohol is out, not surprisingly. 13. SF doesn't feel like the only place anymore. We all have access to the same frontier models. We all read the same X feed. A founder in NYC or Lagos is calling the same APIs as a founder in SoMa. So in the past it felt like SF was always lightyears ahead, doesn't feel that way anymore. It's okay not to live in SF and have BIG DREAMS. 14. The coworking spaces in SF are half empty but the coffee shops are packed. People want to be around people. I had a few startup ideas here.... 15. Walking around the Mission I noticed something: the street-level businesses, the taquerias, the barbershops, the laundromats, none of them use any AI at all. 16. I heard the phrase "agent debt" for the first time. Like technical debt but for agents. When you hack together an agent workflow fast and never clean it up, the system prompts conflict, the memory gets polluted, the tools overlap. 6 months later the agent is doing weird things and nobody knows why lol. 17. Met a few people who carry two phones now. One for personal. One that's basically an agent terminal running Telegram or iMessage connections to their agent fleet. It's always amazing to get that dose of inspiration in SF. I FEEL INSPIRED. But I'm so happy to be back home, locked in and building. We're 12-18 months into a shift that will take 15 years to play out. The urgency in every conversation was real. What an incredible time to be building.

@odor_rj @latimes sounds like D.C.

@latimes LA no longer repots crimes, hoping to create an illusion of being safer. Only the LA Times actually fell for the tactic.

L.A. is safer than it's been in decades, but crime is an issue dominating the mayor's race latimes.com/california/sto…

@breccastoll @elonmusk he will lose in Federal Court. This is lunacy.

NOW: Mamdani says his admin will transfer ownership from bad landlords to non-profits. “For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves.”

@JohnCleese methinks the Royal Family is royally screwing up!

What about all the killing of infidels, sir ?

@mackenzieprice is the plan to expand Alpha Anywhere and to bring paradigm to public schools?

Most people think of school like spinach. It's good for you. It's healthy. You have to get through it. Most kids don't like it. School doesn't have to be that way.

@guyfelicella @CollinRugg have you ever seen Zombietown LA? It’s crazy this exists in the USA

They’re not homeless, they’re drug addicts” is exactly the kind of thinking that keeps the crisis getting worse. A person can struggle with addiction and be homeless at the same time. Homelessness is many things. It’s trauma, mental health, addiction, poverty, isolation, and a systems failure. And no, there are not enough places for people to stay. You don’t solve homelessness by dehumanizing people and threatening to “unplug” them. You solve it with housing, treatment, mental health supports, and actually giving people a chance to rebuild their lives. Btw, LA doesn't have enough housing and shelter.

NEW: Spencer Pratt fires back at reporter after he was asked about his plan for the homeless, says they will all end up in Seattle. Reporter: "What are your plans for the over 40,000 homeless in Los Angeles?" Pratt: "Well, they're not homeless, they're drug addicts... These people have been bused in by scam rehabs, scam NGOs, scam homeless nonprofits." "These people, when I unplug them ... they're all going to Seattle, where the mayor will welcome them."

@CollinRugg LOL!
