@ReallyAmerican1 @TadRyals @RAMediaNetwork The media needs to hit back! Why a ballroom? Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, DC. is owned by the federal government managed by the General Services Administration. ⬇️⬇️

Steve Harness: “When is a reporter gonna snap back and say don’t you fucking talk to me that way? I’m a goddamned adult. I’m here working. You work for us, asshole. Go fuck yourself. Somebody, for the love of God, I will buy the Pulitzer for you if you will just tell this man how fucking dare you, do not talk to me that way”

Researchers in Rwanda fed 55 young women iron-rich beans for 18 weeks. Brain scans showed the biggest change in one weirdly specific skill: pulling the next word out of memory while talking. Iron makes dopamine. Dopamine is the brain chemical that powers your focus and attention. The same brain wiring that runs on dopamine also picks the next word in your sentence. So when iron drops, dopamine drops, and the word-picking part starts misfiring. Low iron feels exactly like brain fog. Your thinking slows down. You lose your train of thought. Words stick on the tip of your tongue and won't come out. A 2007 Penn State study put nearly 150 young women on iron supplements for 16 weeks. Their scores on attention, memory, and learning returned to normal. The Lancet counted 825 million women and 444 million men living with iron deficiency anemia in 2021. One in three women between the ages of 15 and 49 worldwide. The WHO calls iron deficiency the most common nutritional disorder on the planet. Brain symptoms can show up before a standard blood test catches the problem. Your body keeps iron in a reserve called ferritin, and ferritin drops first. Doctors usually order a hemoglobin test, which measures the iron working in your blood right now. That number can stay normal for months while your reserves sit empty. So a woman can get told her bloodwork is fine and still be losing words mid-sentence. Ear, nose, and throat doctors also list low iron as a known cause of voice tiredness and hoarseness. The tiny muscles in your voice box need oxygen too. Less iron means less oxygen reaching them. The original tweet had it right. Low iron changes how your brain picks the next word in a sentence.

For 20 years, a $6 knob that takes one hour to 3D print has been grounding Black Hawk helicopters four times a month, and the contractor responsible won't sell us the part or the IP rights to fix it ourselves. So instead, American taxpayers have been paying $40,000 every single time to replace the entire system, multiplied by four times a month, for two decades. That is NOT a procurement problem, that is a shakedown, and it is exactly why right to repair has to be in this year's NDAA.

Tillis is not a fan of putting a huge arch near Arlington Cemetery. "Anything between me and that, right here on the Capitol mall, kind of bugs me. It doesn't mean it can't go somewhere. But why do we have to move so quickly?" "Why would we put anything in the way of the Capitol and all of those men and women who went and died in service of this country?”

Will say it again: There are numerous sports leagues that use athletic fields at West Potomac Park, some of the only greenspace left in downtown D.C. Trump, in a Truth Social post, said this morning that the park is a "totally BARREN field of Prime Waterfront Real Estate along our Mighty Potomac River." In reality, it's busy with people most days with warm weather.

Trump is allowing 500k more Chinese students to enter America, and he's allowing the Chinese government to buy more American farm land while 46% of American farms are on the brink of foreclosure. Did you vote for this, MAGA? You did.

Colin Jost says he pitched Pete Hegseth mistakenly quoting Pulp Fiction as Bible verse in the SNL writers room—then Hegseth actually did it.

The final image of the 2026 Beijing summit isn’t a handshake; it’s a trash bin. As the U.S. delegation prepared to board Air Force One, American staff systematically collected every item handed out by Chinese officials—including credentials, pins, and burner phones—and discarded them in a bin at the bottom of the stairs. The message was unmistakable: nothing from China was allowed to cross the threshold of the President's plane. This "digital purge" is the direct result of a total lack of trust. The U.S. delegation operated under a strict digital lockdown for the entire trip, treating every hotel Wi-Fi connection and provided device as a potential Trojan horse for CCP surveillance. By trashing the equipment before takeoff, the White House signaled that while trade deals can be signed, the security threat posed by Beijing’s cyber-espionage remains as active as ever. In the high-stakes world of 2026 geopolitics, diplomacy and paranoia are now inseparable. The CCP wants to be treated as a global partner, but the U.S. response shows they are still viewed as a primary intelligence threat. While the cameras caught the smiles in the Great Hall, the real relationship was defined by the security teams ensuring that not a single piece of Chinese hardware made it back to Washington. #TrumpXiSummit #CyberSecurity #AirForceOne #Beijing2026 #NationalSecurity #CCP #UnveiledChina

@Angry_Staffer @Mary88Rz This is just the tip of the iceberg

Trump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. Just absolutely staggering corruption.

The Trump official in charge of hantavirus response is a penile implant specialist who has repeatedly posted videos and images of his patients' procedures online. He does not believe in vaccines.

Read @EggerDC on the utter foulness of the Trump IRS settlement fund. Truly the type of rank corruption we have not really witnessed before. Plundering at its finest

Cuba out of diesel and fuel oil entirely, pumps empty in Havana. Trump's vicious blockade means hospital generators dead, chemo halted, over 11,000 kids awaiting surgery, and one million without reliable water. Heartless monster.

Three little words can completely change how people react. Rory Sutherland was explaining butterfly effects in psychology on We Have a Meeting and told this great story (might be made up, but it’s brilliant anyway): a beggar’s sign just said “I’m hungry” — donations were low. Someone added “and it’s spring.” Donations supposedly doubled. It’s such a simple reminder of how tiny tweaks in language can shift everything emotionally. This really stuck with me. Small changes in how we phrase things can turn indifference into interest or resistance into openness. We underestimate the power in those little details. In a world full of big strategies, the smallest adjustments in wording often create the biggest results. What’s a small change in wording or framing that you’ve seen (or used) make a surprisingly big difference?

Light gray is 3-4 times more light reflective than dark blue. Painting it this color will increase the temperature of the water which will support even greater algae growth. Trump isn’t draining the swamp as much as he’s expanding it.

I engage with hundreds of Trump voters every day. Been doing it for 7-8yrs. I often hear a similar take from the ones who finally do wake up & break from Trump. It’s the lies. When they finally realize that he’s been lying to them every day, some will say “that’s it, I’m done.”👇

AMAZING! This just appeared near Trump’s Bedminster, NJ Golf course. I agree 100%.

Good. The arch is getting bulldozed regardless

I saw these preparations for the Arch today too. Trump is trying to start another illegal project - his unsightly “Trump Arch” which will be a huge eyesore and block the view from Arlington Cemetery to the Lincoln Memorial and be a danger to National Airport. STOP this now. And STOP the lying and grifting of our tax $$$$
