The COVID cover-up goes all the way to the top. Fauci funded the Wuhan lab. Senior intelligence officials hid classified evidence from the president himself. Scientists were silenced. Millions paid the price. The DOJ has until May 11th to prosecute Fauci before the statute of limitations runs out. I am not letting this go. The American people deserve justice.

Ryan Holiday's Response to Ivanka Trump

@DaleStarkA10 @johnkonrad Reading him is a solid sign of midwittery.

Ryan Holiday Stoicism is when you’re super uptight but pretend to be chill, and then empty your emotional purse publicly anytime anyone disagrees with you. Would not recommend.

Write it on your heart: "To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the ends to the means." - Thomas Jefferson

We're calling on the Department of Justice to indict former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress before the five-year statute of limitations expires on May 11. Anthony Fauci looked Congress in the eye and lied under oath about funding research tied to a pandemic killing millions of people worldwide, which he then used as justification to shut down our country. Former President Biden issued a blanket autopen pardon to Fauci on his final day in office covering unspecified offenses dating back to 2014. We have serious questions about the validity of the pardon. The American people deserve to know what was really happening when they were forced into quarantine, masked and forcibly vaccinated in some cases. David Morens, a former senior NIAID official who worked directly under Dr. Fauci, has been indicted. This mishandling came from the top. The investigation should start there too.

Counter-Swarm Defense @bosmeny A Patriot missile costs $3 million. An FPV drone costs $500. All the cost advantage lies with the attackers, and the next wave isn't one drone, it's swarms. Drone defense is starting to look less like operating a weapon and more like running a real-time distributed system. We want to fund founders building the counter-swarm stack.

AI has stopped being a feature and started being the foundation. We're excited about a new wave of startups rebuilding software, services, and silicon— and pushing AI into the physical world. ycombinator.com/rfs

Hello Julia, sans aucune ironie, c'est top que tu prennes le temps de te renseigner. Mais le problème quand on lit Marx aujourd'hui, c'est qu'on prend pour acquis sa prémisse de départ, alors qu'elle a été démontée scientifiquement il y a plus de 150 ans. Toute la pensée de Marx repose sur la théorie de la valeur-travail. L'idée que la valeur d'un bien vient de la quantité de travail nécessaire pour le produire. Si tu acceptes cette prémisse, alors oui, tout son raisonnement tient. Le capitaliste "vole" la plus-value du travailleur, l'exploitation est mathématique, la révolution est inévitable. Sauf qu'en 1871, trois économistes (Menger en Autriche, Jevons en Angleterre, Walras en Suisse) découvrent indépendamment la même chose : la valeur n'est pas objective, elle est subjective et marginale. Un verre d'eau dans le désert vaut une fortune. Le même verre à côté d'une rivière ne vaut rien. Le travail incorporé est identique. Donc le travail ne détermine pas la valeur. C'est le consommateur qui valorise un bien selon son utilité marginale dans un contexte donné. Exemple concret : tu peux passer 1000 heures à tricoter un pull moche que personne ne veut. Selon Marx, ce pull a énormément de valeur (beaucoup de travail incorporé). Selon la réalité, il ne vaut rien. Parce que personne n'en veut. À l'inverse, Bernard Arnault crée des milliards de valeur non pas parce qu'il "exploite" mais parce qu'il a su anticiper et organiser des désirs humains à grande échelle. La valeur est créée par la coordination, pas extraite par le vol. Cette découverte (la révolution marginaliste) a invalidé tout l'édifice marxiste. Pas pour des raisons idéologiques, pour des raisons scientifiques. C'est pour ça que plus aucun département d'économie sérieux au monde n'enseigne Marx comme un cadre d'analyse valide. On l'enseigne en histoire de la pensée. Maintenant, le truc important. Si ton intention en lisant Marx c'est d'aider les pauvres (c'est une intention noble), alors tu vas être surprise par ce qui suit. Regarde les chiffres de la Banque mondiale. En 1820, 90% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Cette chute historique ne s'est PAS produite dans les pays qui ont appliqué Marx. Elle s'est produite dans les pays qui ont libéralisé leur économie. Chine post-1978, Vietnam post-1986, Inde post-1991, Pologne post-1989. À chaque fois qu'un pays libéralise, des centaines de millions de gens sortent de la pauvreté en une génération. À chaque fois qu'un pays applique Marx (URSS, Cambodge, Corée du Nord, Venezuela), c'est la famine et les goulags. Ce n'est pas une opinion, c'est l'expérience la plus massive jamais menée en sciences sociales. Plusieurs milliards de cobayes humains, sur un siècle. Donc paradoxalement, si tu aimes vraiment les pauvres, la position la plus cohérente n'est pas d'être marxiste. C'est d'être pour la liberté économique. Parce que c'est empiriquement la seule chose qui a jamais sorti massivement les gens de la misère. Pour creuser, je te recommande trois lectures qui vont changer ta vision : "La Loi" de Frédéric Bastiat (court, lumineux, gratuit en ligne) "La Route de la Servitude" de Hayek "Économie en une leçon" de Henry Hazlitt Bonne lecture, et vraiment chapeau de chercher à comprendre plutôt que de rester dans tes certitudes. C'est rare.

@BasilTheGreat Hey @grok add bacon to the shelf

We need to ban this immediately.

Now is a good time to familiarize yourself with the prelude to the Spanish Civil War Because if the right doesn’t learn that particular lesson of history very quickly we’re about to repeat it

@adamcarolla On brand for Harvard

She lied for four years and then got a job at Harvard

@SteveEvans51020 @AndrewZywiecMD Big picture: they’re expanding cancer centers, taking in donations & reimbursement, and planning research. Will never reflexively trust doctors again

Wifey’s an RN, retired. She tends to support the doctor’s position reflexively. For just our doctors, who very aggressively pushed the Covid vaccine, (we are not vaxxed) how many have since apologized for getting that wrong? Zero. Today, they’re silent on the vax, acting like it never happened, like things are back to business as usual. Well, it’s not.

Hmmm... if only there were a few doctors warning about this...

I am conflicted about this whole thing. I think these betting markets are a cancer, but how is what this guy did any different than a U.S. senator buying up $50,000 in Chevron stock days before the Maduro raid (after liquidating his position in Chevron earlier in 2025)? Are we supposed to believe it was just a coincidence one of the most notorious traders in Congress bought a bunch of stock in the only American company with oil operations in Venezuela just days before we black-bagged Maduro? I don’t think what the Army guy did is good at all, but why we are throwing NCOs in prison for this when U.S. senators who do the same thing get cabinet secretary promotions instead of jail time?

@RedBalloonWork @rvivek Agreed. The real skill is helping people unlock the knowledge already in their head using tools to move faster and be more efficient

@rvivek Wrong, You will always need people with deep domain knowledge. You will never be able to have someone just walk into another industry and be elite through only utilizing AI.

The hottest job for the next five years is going to be the agent operator. They don't need to be an engineer. They can walk into marketing, legal, or life sciences research and actually make agents work for that function. Required skills: > MCPs > CLIs > Writing skills (the file kind) > agents.md fluency > Business acumen None of this is in any CS curriculum today. Soon, enterprises will be pressured to redesign their workflows for agents, not for people. And when that happens, agent operators will be in massive demand.

@LayoffAI @SenatorBanks Nice work. All the AI companies except @grok are currently scrambling to make sure you didn’t use their tool kit

@SenatorBanks Thanks for sharing our graphic, Senator. We also built a tool to track every filing since 2015, by state, county, and employer that you may find useful at layoffhedge.com/h1b x.com/layoffai/statu…

The next generation deserves more than broken promises and outsourced dreams. They deserve a fair shot to work, build, and thrive in the nation they call home. I'm leading S. 2821 – the "American Tech Workforce Act" to end the H-1B scam and put hardworking Americans first.

@dmbkparker @GenFlynn @RepLuna Agreed. The core of fourth generation warfare is a contest for moral legitimacy. Hard to imagine a worse move than prosecuting an American hero for something Congress does regularly.

@GenFlynn @RepLuna Yes but it is straight hypocrisy from the FBI. Some of us are tired of seeing the military (VA, this situation, etc) constantly being the scapegoat while the large potatoes are constantly ignored. Makes you wonder how broad it all is.

Congresswoman @RepLuna , I respect your logic but for those who serve in the military, especially this individual, we hold ourselves to a much higher standard than those in Congress. Congress should not get away with insider trading nor should you hold office forever (ie., term limits). But this service member placed military lives at severe risk with his foolish decisions. He should be and likely will be considered for courts-martial and very severe punishment under the UCMJ—a system of government that is wholly different than what we have in our civilian society. It actually holds people accountable and it is generally very fair. @SecWar @SeanParnellASW

The problem is the size of the bet If he owned a military contractor this would be totally legal In fact he could actively lobby for the operation and still profit

@BarbellFi @alanknit Ours not to reason why Ours but to do and die

Insider trading is legal for: ✅ President ✅ President’s family ✅ President’s friends ✅ President’s cabinet ✅ Congress ❌ Military
