Thomas Massie has officially filed a statement of candidacy, allowing him to begin raising money for a potential 2028 presidential run. That instantly changes the meaning behind a lot of what’s happening right now. Because Massie is no longer just fighting Trump politically. He’s positioning himself as a possible post-Trump alternative for the faction of the right that: - distrusts foreign intervention - hates establishment Republicans - opposes surveillance expansion - views the GOP as drifting too far into loyalty politics - Epstein-class protectors - and fighting foreign wars The Republican civil war is getting more real by the week.

We're one week from Election Day. This race will be decided by who shows up — vote now or in-person on June 2. Let's stand up to corporate interests and win this thing.

Absolute comedy gold! Senator Bernie Sanders brilliantly mocks the billionaire class. He reveals a 5 percent wealth tax would cost Jeff Bezos 14 billion dollars, yet still leave him with a staggering 265 billion to survive. The establishment's greed is completely unhinged!

🚨BREAKING: Cook County State’s Attorney, Eileen O’Neill Burke, is refusing to bring felony charges against the ICE agent who attacked attorney Robert Held for filming him… while standing on a PUBLIC sidewalk. Robert Held, a 68-year-old attorney, was legally recording an ICE agent in Brookfield when the agent rushed him, threw him to the ground, and tried to rip his phone away because he wanted to delete the video. (The ICE agent’s own words.) And despite the fact that Held was over 60, standing on public property, and violently thrown to the ground by a federal agent trying to destroy evidence… @saeileenburke declined felony charges and reduced it to a misdemeanor battery case. This is the same Eileen O’Neill Burke who spent months publicly claiming federal agents would be held accountable, if they committed crimes, in Cook County. She literally announced new “protocols” for prosecuting violent ICE agents… held press conferences about accountability… and said “no one is above the law.” Apparently that only applies until an ICE agent is actually caught assaulting someone on camera. Because what message does this send? That federal agents can attack civilians for exercising their First Amendment rights… That they can try to seize or destroy evidence… and throw anyone they want to the pavement… And prosecutors will still bend over backwards to protect them from felony charges. And every time prosecutors refuse to fully hold these agents accountable… they are telling the public exactly who the law actually protects.

DISGRACEFUL: ICE agents tear-gassed U.S. Senator Andy Kim at Delaney Hall detention facility in NJ today! Kim was supporting hunger-striking detainees protesting spoiled food, no medical care & extreme heat when federal agents unleashed tear gas & pepper spray. Kim struggled to breathe & injured his hand in the chaos.

People call Bitcoin the Epstein coin. Let me help you understand something. The real Epstein coin has been in your wallet the whole time. The U.S. dollar. Why? Printed in secret. Distributed to insiders. Protected by powerful men who will never face consequences. Spent on things you'll never be told about. $39 trillion in debt. Trillions conjured from nothing in a weekend. Handed to banks, hedge funds, and defense contractors while you were told to budget harder and stop buying coffee. You think Epstein operated alone? The dollar is the network. It funds the wars nobody voted for. It bails out the banks that robbed you. It finances the political class that regulates your freedom while exempting their own.

#BREAKING: Rep Massie: “I think the biggest crime I committed against the swamp…was showing the American people that somebody on the right could join somebody on the left and get something done, which is releasing the #Epstein files, that everybody knew needed to be done. That’s probably the ONLY bill that has passed Washington DC in the last ten years, that lobbyists haven’t written. It was written by me and Ro Khanna…that’s when they decided I had to be taken out, that I was becoming effective so they wanted to eliminate me...”😳

"Invest in index funds. Become a millionaire." $500/month. 30 years. 10% annually. You hit $1.1M. 3% Inflation takes $634,000 of that. Not in one dramatic heist. In slow, quiet, annual confiscation. Nominal gains are the illusion. Purchasing power is what matters.

The government is shutting down the nation’s primary bee research lab, right in the middle of the worst honeybee die off in history. 1.6 MILLION colonies lost in under a year. Commercial beekeepers hit with 62% losses. Meanwhile, researchers are discovering that bee venom (melittin) can kill cancer cells (including aggressive breast cancer) often within 60 minutes in lab tests. Bees pollinate $18 BILLION in U.S. crops. And we’re closing the lab? This is insane.🐝

@zaidlikesmstr @Strategy The “quiet” red flag I’d personally watch most Not headlines. Not volatility. Not even BTC drawdowns. Instead: A subtle decline in radical transparency.

$MSTR If Saylor’s cryptic post today sent you into a panic, this post is for you. Every long term investor should have a clear thesis on how their investment might not perform as expected. Here is mine on @Strategy • Foundation. The success of @Strategy like every company in this ecosystem, ultimately rests on Bitcoin itself. A black swan event that compromises the network ends badly for everyone. That is the base risk every Bitcoin investor carries regardless of how they hold it. Outside of that, here are the counterparty risks worth thinking about seriously. • Custody. Strategy holds the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury on earth. Coinbase has been one of its primary custodians since the beginning. That concentration has since been diversified across multiple institutions which remain unnamed for security reasons. How well Strategy continues to maintain those custodial relationships, and whether it eventually moves toward self custody, remains an ongoing variable worth watching. • Management. This is simultaneously the biggest risk and the biggest reason I am invested. A loss of market trust in the management team does not require Bitcoin to fail. It just requires a crack in confidence. And in these markets, trust is fragile. My bet is on Saylor, on Phong, on their transparency, their consistency, their alignment with shareholders. Their ability to remain predictable. Their ability to remain laser focused on Bitcoin without chasing distractions. Saylor has said it himself. One of the largest drivers of liquidity and demand in $MSTR is the market’s ability to know exactly where the company stands. That predictability is an asset. Any divergence risks breaking something that takes years to rebuild. A brief example of how quickly confidence can unravel is what we saw with Nakamoto and David Bailey. The market does not need much to start questioning a management team’s direction. • Execution risk on $STRC. This is less a counterparty risk in the traditional sense and more a strategic dependency. Strategy has placed $STRC at the center of its accumulation engine. The company is betting its future growth on this instrument scaling into one of the most significant credit products in the market. 0-10 Billion in just ten months is the early evidence. I believe it is destined to scale as projected. But the pace and trajectory of that growth remains a variable every investor should be aware of. • The risk of divergence from mission. The greatest threat to a powerful institution is rarely external. It is overextension. Internal conflict. The pursuit of too many ideas at once. Rome did not fall because it lacked power. It collapsed under the weight of its own ambition. Strategy’s equivalent risk is any deviation from the simplicity of its mission. Accumulate. Preserve. Don’t deviate. The moment the company starts chasing dilutive ideas or loses the clarity of its message, that is when the thesis starts to crack. Counterparty risk is not a single variable. It comes in multiple forms. Each one requires the investor to do the work to understand it. I follow this company daily. I track its capital markets activity. But for someone who has not built a clear thesis, varying opinionated accounts and those who are short on the company will continue to pull the narrative away from what the company is actually building. And without that foundation, volatile markets will consistently lead to poor decisions with your investment. My bet is that @Strategy has done the work to address each of these risks. They have earned that trust repeatedly and in public. That is ultimately what I am betting on. $BTC $MSTR $STRC

Thomas Massie says he plans to publicly read the names of Epstein clients before leaving Congress. If he follows through, Washington is about to enter full panic mode.
