Bayer is a German chemical company. They make Roundup. Roundup gives people non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Bayer has paid over $11 billion in cancer lawsuits.
This week, Congress is going to vote on a bill that gives Bayer permanent immunity from being sued by Americans who get cancer from their product.
Here is how it happened. 🧵
Employee: I'm pregnant. Due in March.
Manager: Congratulations. Have you thought about your plan?
Employee: I'll take my 12 weeks and be back in june.
Manager: We just want to make sure the team is covered.
Employee: I'll document everything before I leave.
Manager: We've decided to restructure your role.
Employee: I'm sorry?
Manager: It's just business.
She was restructured out three weeks before her due date. They called it a layoff. Gave her two weeks severance. Her position was reposted under a different title four months later. Her CEO just spoke at a Women in Leadership conference. The keynote was about "building inclusive workplaces." She watched it from her couch while nursing her daughter.
@DavidLeavitt Correct.
That's why I created a LLC on Monday and applied for refunds on Tuesday.
Those tariffs were brutal to my business.
The American way.
Can someone please explain to me why only businesses can claim refunds for the tariffs that were declared unconstitutional even though those costs were passed onto consumers?
I cannot unsee this.
I've been watching Trump answer questions for years. The confidence. The certainty. The way he shuts down a room. I genuinely thought he was one of the sharpest communicators alive.
Then one day I caught myself finishing his sentence before he said it.
Not guessing. Knowing. Word for word. Before he said it.
So I pulled the transcripts.
Press conferences. Interviews. Sprays. Egg prices. Greenland. January 6th. Military strikes. Different years. Different reporters. Completely different topics.
Same thing every time.
Every single time Trump is asked a question — any question — he runs the exact same 7 steps. In the exact same order. Without exception.
This is not personality.
This is not confidence.
This is not charisma.
This is a deliberate repeatable formula. And I can prove it.
His actual words. Public record. Verify every single one yourself.
📷 STEP 1 — KILL THE QUESTION
(First thing every time — make the question itself the problem.)
📷 "That's a stupid question." / "Fake news."
📷 STEP 2 — KILL WHO ASKED IT
(Destroy the source so the question has nowhere to stand.)
📷 "Your ratings are terrible. Nobody watches your network."
📷 STEP 3 — INSERT HIMSELF
(Every topic. Every time. Without fail. It always lands here.)
📷 "Nobody has ever done what I've done."
📷 STEP 4 — SCALE IT TO THE BIGGEST CLAIM POSSIBLE
(Not good. Not great. The greatest. Ever. In history. Every single time.)
📷 "More than any administration — by far." / "Nobody has ever had crowds like I've had — in history, for any country."
📷 STEP 5 — UNNAMED PEOPLE AGREE
(Faceless. Countless. Unverifiable. Always there.)
📷 "Smart people are saying it. Great people. A lot of people."
📷 STEP 6 — VAGUE THREAT
(Something bad will happen. Never specified. Always implied.)
📷 "All hell will break out." / "They know it. Believe me."
📷 STEP 7 — LOOP BACK TO HIMSELF
(Different words. Same destination. Formula complete.)
📷 "It's been an amazing period of time. Page after page of accomplishments."
The question was never answered.
The formula just ran.
Go back and watch any clip.
Any year. Any topic. Any reporter.
Count the steps.
I'll wait.
This is the part nobody wants to sit with:
Real conviction engages with the actual question. It sometimes stumbles. Sometimes says I don't know. It changes shape based on what's in front of it.
A formula runs the same 7 steps whether the topic is war or egg prices.
Which means the response was never built for the question.
It was built for you.
To feel powerful. To feel certain. To stop you from noticing that nothing was actually answered.
And it worked.
For years it worked.
Pull any transcript. Public record. Count the steps yourself.
This isn't about politics.
This is about what you were never supposed to notice.
I've found the same deliberate pattern running in another major figure in this administration. Different slots. Same principle. Same effect.
Next post I break it down.

The ship the U.S. seized in the Strait of Hormuz this weekend was headed from China to Iran and is linked to chemical shipments for missiles.
It refused repeated orders to stop.
Another reminder that China is helping prop up Iran’s regime—a reality that can’t be ignored.
I’m trying to understand the tariff refund thing.
Companies raised their prices to consumers in light of the tariff charges.
But now those tariffs are getting refunded.
So those companies will just have wound up making way more money on the backs of everyday people.
@Wisdom_HQ But it's also the roads...
Look how pristine. Not a pothole, crack, or piece of debris in site.
Respect drivers, and they'll respect you.
Taxes paid, services delivered.
There are better ways to live.
It’s not the roads. It’s the selfish animals driving on them.
Most drivers see a traffic jam. Germans see a moral responsibility.
This is the Rettungsgasse. Under German and Austrian law, you don’t wait for the ambulance to appear in your rearview mirror.
You don't wait for the screaming sirens.
The very second traffic slows down, the "emergency corridor" must open.
The left lane hugs the left. Everyone else moves right.
Failure to do this isn’t just a "mistake." It’s a €320 fine and an immediate license suspension. But the law isn't the point, the culture is.
They understand that the "center" of the road doesn't belong to them. It belongs to the person who is currently fighting for their last breath.
It’s a 40% increase in survival rates because paramedics don't have to fight through a wall of selfish steel.
@allenanalysis@cardon_brian But isn’t Tyler Robinson the person accused of shooting & killing Charlie Kirk, not the President?
Maybe I misread something??
Tyler Robinson’s defense attorneys just told the judge something stunning.
The FBI and ATF claimed Robinson’s DNA was found on the rifle’s trigger, ammunition casings and multiple towels.
The prosecution never turned that evidence over.
Not in physical form.
Not in digital form.
None of it.
Is that because it doesn’t exist?
The attempted assassination of a sitting president.
And the DNA evidence cited in the probable cause statement was never produced.
Questions that deserve answers.
VAN HOLLEN: When you were in the House, you said Biden needed to make clear that 'Putin is an absolute war criminal.' Do you stand by your statement?
MIKE WALTZ: Statements that I made as a member of Congress are very different than what I make now working for President Trump. I support President Trump is everything he is doing
