Ford CEO in new interview: “We'll have an all-electric, affordable vehicle to compete with Model Y and Model 3. I think there's nothing else like it on the market. We started a skunkworks team 4 years ago. They were basically Formula 1 and Tesla people. That vehicle is radically different. I'm really excited to show everyone maybe late this year or (early) next year. It will be coming out next year.” (via Spike's Car Radio)

Secretary Kennedy
Secretary Kennedy@SecKennedy·
I will always tell the American people the truth. Pesticides and herbicides are toxic by design, engineered to kill living organisms. When we apply them across millions of acres and allow them into our food system, we put Americans at risk. Chemical manufacturers have paid tens of billions of dollars to settle cancer claims linked to their products, and many agricultural communities report elevated cancer rates and chronic disease. Unfortunately, our agricultural system depends heavily on these chemicals. The U.S. represents 4% of the world’s population, yet we use roughly 25% of its pesticides. If these inputs disappeared overnight, crop yields would fall, food prices would surge, and America would experience a massive loss of farms even beyond what we are witnessing today. The consequences would be disastrous. I support President Trump’s Executive Order to bring agricultural chemical production back to the United States and end our near-total reliance on adversarial nations. His EO protects two pillars of national strength: our defense readiness and our food supply. When hostile actors control critical inputs, they directly threaten the security of the American people. The Trump administration will secure these supply chains to eliminate that vulnerability. President Trump did not build our current system — he inherited it. For decades, Washington designed modern agriculture. Policymakers wrote farm policy, directed research dollars, structured subsidies and crop insurance, and shaped commodity markets to reward monocultures and maximum yield. Those deliberate choices locked farmers into chemical dependence and prioritized short-term output over long-term soil vitality and human health. We are now changing course — without destabilizing the food supply. Alongside @USDA @SecRollins, we are accelerating the transition to regenerative agriculture by expanding farming systems that rebuild soil, increase biodiversity, improve water retention, and reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals, including pre-harvest desiccation. We are also driving the rapid adoption of next-generation technologies, including laser-guided weed control, electrothermal and electrical systems, robotics, precision mechanical cultivation, and biological controls that replace blanket spraying with precision intervention. These solutions are not theoretical. Farmers are already putting them to work. Markets are scaling them. Now the federal government will act with urgency to expand their reach and accelerate adoption nationwide. I have met with hundreds of farmers and agricultural leaders across the country. They understand the pressures firsthand. Chemical inputs cut into margins. Chemical-resistant pests are spreading. Soil health is declining. Foreign markets are shutting out American produce. Farmers want workable alternatives, and they want policies that support transition without threatening their livelihoods. At HHS, I am leading a coordinated effort grounded in gold standard science. I am working with Secretary Rollins and @EPALeeZeldin to expedite a better future where a thriving agricultural system is less dependent on harmful chemicals. We are sharing data, coordinating strategy, and supporting farmers through a practical transition. The Make America Healthy Again agenda forces us to challenge long-standing assumptions about how we grow food, structure markets, and measure success in this country. Reform at this scale will test entrenched interests, and it will not move in a straight line. President Trump has opened the door to this debate and backed meaningful change — not only in policy, but in the national conversation about health and agriculture. American farmers stand at the center of this movement. They deserve policies rooted in rigorous science and economic reality. Our children deserve a food system that protects and strengthens their health. With President Trump’s leadership, we are securing critical supply chains, confronting the health risks embedded in our current system, and deploying every available tool to build a stronger, safer, more resilient American food supply.

I grew an Instagram account to 100k followers, made a post about Jesus, and lost 5k followers. I just grew a different account to 100k (again) and made this video as a celebration. Christ is King.

By every measurable standard, Americans are better off under Republican leadership — and the economy is SURGING far beyond what the so-called “experts” ever predicted: Interest rates are DOWN. Inflation is DOWN. Gas prices are DOWN. Tax rebates are UP. GDP is UP and the economy is growing. Tens of millions of families are keeping more of their hard-earned money. We made promises. We've kept them.

NEW -- Rep. Ilhan Omar was just charged by a man at a town hall event in Minneapolis. Crowd says he "sprayed her" with something. You can hear Omar demand to continue the town hall -- and she's back to speaking now from the podium.

ROGAN: They said they released them, but what did they release? OTHER GUY: They're still not out yet. It feels like everything else has been drowned out by Somalians and the ICE shooting. It feels like Epstein is completely drowned out ROGAN: I think some of that is on purpose

@lichthauch @Max_Fisher This idea of definitive “first steps” is kinda silly. They don’t just stand up one day and start walking. There are weeks of stand/falls, furniture surfing, etc as they learn to walk. Record a few to capture the moment, then put the phone away and play with your kid.

@PodSaveAmerica When pressed for an alternative vision for effective US influence in this sphere, Sen Kelly just kept blasting the Trump Admin. Couldn’t articulate a better vision. And yes, Stephen Miller’s politics are abhorrent, but he does not strike me as a moron. Dems need to do better.

Scott Bessent rallies Trump supporters in Pennsylvania: "The bond market had its best year since 202,0 and if I have anything to say about it as your nation's top bond salesman, bonds will have another strong year in 2026 as we fight to bring treasury borrowing costs down."

The Federal Reserve is screwing every single person trying to buy a home in America right now. $2827 for a home with 7% interest vs $1791 for a home with 3% interest FYI: Inflation is at 2% so they can’t use that excuse anymore. 🇺🇸

Tried to listening to @theallinpod for the first time in almost a year this weekend (used to listen every week) They’ve lost their intellectual honesty — it’s unlistenable now, which is kinda sad They’ve always made offputting jokes, but if you could see past that you got a diversity of opinions that didn’t walk strict party lines and a good example of how to disagree on politics but still be friends Much of this was downstream of their independence (no advertisers or strict political affiliation) They’re still independent from advertisers but now their entire social capital is now tied up in the powerful people they associate with as a result of the podcast’s success Sacks won’t criticize Trump / the party as a member of the administration Chamath seems predominantly focused on what Sacks and Tucker Carlson think of him Jason isn’t emotionally self-regulated enough to represent a coherent opposition to what has kind of become Republican propaganda Guessing my Democrat friends are probably rolling their eyes at my only now coming to this conclusion, but as an independent I am genuinely bummed I do wonder if we’ll ever find an entertaining, informative and intellectually honest political commentary that never sells out the way these guys have Or maybe they’ll turn it around…

I rarely praise Trump but this is a genuinely incredible speech x.com/Ultrafrog17/st… I've been arguing for close to a decade that the single biggest reason for the growing divide between the West and "the rest" was the West's inability to accept diversity (the genuine kind, not the fake ersatz of it sold to you under liberalism). Diversity of cultures, traditions, civilizations, governance systems, etc. Incredible, and kind of disturbing, that Trump is the first Western leader who seems to understand this and to criticize the West's missionary zeal to remake others in its image.
