Rep. Thomas Massie is on the brink of securing a huge win for small farmers. His PRIME Act is officially included in the 2026 Farm Bill. If this passes, it will deliver a blow to Big Ag’s stranglehold on the meatpacking industry. “This would make it easier for local farmers to sell directly to local consumers using a local slaughterhouse.” How? It would cut the USDA out of inspections for local processing facilities. “You don’t need the USDA to inspect a facility that has seven employees.” “So what I’ve proposed is that you could just have the local health inspection… inspecting these slaughterhouses.” “As long as you don’t cross state lines, you shouldn’t need the federal government’s involvement in this processing.” “The good news is, I got that in the Farm Bill.” @RepThomasMassie

My son, Saxon, is so based that he would just order milk when we went to dinner in LA. This would always stun the waitstaff, as they had never heard anyone actually order milk! He also unironically ordered a cheeseburger at a very uptight sushi restaurant that doesn’t even allow you to order supplemental soy sauce. When the waiter recovered from this request to reply that they don’t have cheeseburgers, Saxon said “Fine, I will have a hamburger.”

Recently, I met with members of @sellatauction, the Livestock Marketing Association. I am a cosponsor of HR 4500, the HELP Act. This bill will cut red tape by exempting livestock haulers from rigid trucking rules that don't account for the realities of transporting live animals.

The NSA hired Jim Simons to crack Soviet codes. He got fired. While smoking 2 to 3 packs a day, he built a fund that averaged 66% a year for 30 years, made $31 billion, and never hired a single person from Wall Street. Meet the chain-smoking mathematician behind the greatest hedge fund ever made Timeline: • PhD from Berkeley at 23 • Hired by the NSA to crack Soviet codes during the Cold War • Fired for opposing the Vietnam War • Founded Renaissance Technologies in 1978 • Launched the Medallion Fund: 66% annual returns, 30 years straight • Hired only mathematicians, physicists, and codebreakers. • Net worth peaked at $31 billion • Passed away in May 2024 at age 86 His algorithms still trade today. Here's what they're buying now: $PLTR — Palantir, the AI defense contractor. 17.5% of portfolio, up 225% $UTHR — United Therapeutics, a biotech building lab-grown organs. Up 109% $KGC — Kinross Gold, a gold miner. Up 96% $EXEL — Exelixis, an oncology company most people have never heard of. Up 51% A mathematician who changed Wall Street forever. Rest easy, Jim. The fund lives on

AI shouldn’t be used to spy on Americans. AI shouldn’t be used in deadly autonomous weapons without a human in the loop. This is just common sense.
