• Elon Musk: “I think the fundamental moral flaw of the left is empathy for the criminals but not empathy for the victims. There's been too much of that, and needs to stop. There's been immense judicial overreach that is unconstitutional and it’s undermining people's faith in the legal system. It needs to stop. It's gone too far.” (video)
• Elon Musk cooking The New York Times is the best thing you'll see on the internet today. (video)
• “China is an adversary, but what I really worry about is the enemy within. Can we get our own act together, our own values and capabilities. This time is different… we have to get our act together and quickly.” Jamie Dimon is right. (video)
• NEW: Kevin O’Leary says Elon Musk’s biggest win with DOGE wasn’t just cutting waste—it was changing how Americans think about government. That is something that will remain long after DOGE. According to O’Leary, Musk’s real legacy is psychological: “Bringing the whole idea of a different kind of audit into the psyche of bipartisan taxpayers.” “DOGE is a good idea. It just is.” “Auditing the government under any administration is a good idea, and trying to make it more efficient is a good idea.” (video)

• SEC. DEF: NO MORE PREACHING, LET’S BUILD PEACE TOGETHER. “United States is not interested in the moralistic and preachy approach to foreign policy of the past. We're not here to pressure other countries to embrace or adopt policies or ideologies. We're not here to preach to you about climate change or cultural issues. We're not here to impose our will on you. We are all sovereign nations.” (video)
• CHINA ON NOTICE AS DEFENSE CHIEF DRAWS LINE IN THE PACIFIC. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: "The United States is committed to working with our allies and partners to deter aggression by Communist China in the Indo-Pacific. We're doing this, in particular, reestablishing deterrence through strength. By standing shoulder to shoulder with you, we will unite against those who threaten a free and open Indo-Pacific." (video)
• BREAKING | DEFENSE SECRETARY HEGSETH: CHINA THREAT IS "REAL AND COULD BE IMMINENT". Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned Indo-Pacific allies that China is actively rehearsing to take Taiwan by force, calling the threat "real" and potentially "imminent." Pete Hegseth, U.S. Defense Secretary: "We are not going to sugarcoat it — the threat China poses is real. And it could be imminent... China is no longer just building up its military forces to take Taiwan, it's actively training for it, every day." Speaking at Singapore's Shangri-La security conference, Hegseth noted China's 2027 deadline to be militarily capable of taking Taiwan. He also called out Beijing's ambitions in Latin America, particularly its efforts to control the Panama Canal. The U.S. is developing space-based "Golden Dome" missile defenses to counter China's hypersonic weapons and militarized South China Sea islands. Hegseth urged regional allies to boost defense spending to 5% of GDP, matching new European targets. China snubbed the conference by not sending its defense minister. "We are here this morning. And somebody else isn't," Hegseth noted. The message is clear: pick a side before it's too late.
• REP LUNA: FOCUS ON PRESIDENT'S AGENDA, STOP TALKING, AND ACT. "A lot of people are always worried about re-election. We should go back to pre-COVID spending levels. Politicians want Congress to focus on the President's agenda, codifying what DOJ has done. Stop posting about it, stop talking about it, and actually do it." (video)
• REP. LUNA: DOGE PROJECTED TO SAVE OVER $1 TRILLION... CONGRESS MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. "Russ Vought is head of OMB and might be taking over, definitely a financial and fiscal conservative. Some of the best minds are actually still in Washington and Doge will continue. In fact, they are projected to hit under this administration over 1 trillion dollars in savings. Congress does have a spending problem and there have been people there for decades on both sides that are part of that problem." (video)
• CDC DEFIES RFK JR ON KIDS' COVID SHOTS? Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told America the CDC was done recommending COVID vaccines for kids, then things got weird. The CDC responded by dropping a fresh schedule that says… they’re not. Problem is, the CDC’s expert panel never voted to change anything, and that’s kind of a big deal. Turns out, announcements don’t equal policy.
• TOM CRUISE'S "CRAZY" 2005 PHARMA RANT LOOKS PROPHETIC NOW. Remember when everyone mocked Tom Cruise for that Matt Lauer interview? Turns out he was right about Big Pharma all along. Tom Cruise (2005 Today Show): "You're glib. You don't even know what Ritalin is... There's ways of doing it so we don't end up in 'A Brave New World.'" Nearly 20 years later, his "unhinged" warnings about overmedication, especially in children, are now mainstream medical concerns. Top healthcare professionals echo his exact points about overprescription and questioning the chemical imbalance theory. Cruise was ridiculed for challenging pharmaceutical industry influence on mental health treatments. Now we have an opioid crisis, skyrocketing ADHD and autism diagnoses, and growing skepticism about psych meds' long-term effects. His delivery was intense, but his core message about caution and education proved dead-on. Sometimes the "crazy" people are just early.
• WHITE HOUSE CELEBRATES DOGE SUCCESS: "VICTORIOUS IN SLASHING WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE". The White House just released a victory lap video highlighting DOGE's massive success in cutting government waste, with Trump thanking Elon for leading the charge. Trump: "We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of money that's going to places where it shouldn't be going. I've had great help with Elon Musk who's been terrific." "We have to take some of these things apart to find the corruption. We've found tremendous corruption." (video)

• @LauraLoomer 

• SCOOP: I have obtained the names of the HHS officials involved in the publication of the MAHA report that had fake citations. I have reason to believe this report was deliberately published with fake and broken citations by malicious, anti-Trump actors inside of @HHSGov, including Kennedy appointees @calleymeans, and @StefanieSpear, who I exposed weeks ago as an anti-Trump Marxist who runs a burner account on X under @EcoWatch which she uses to attack President Trump WHILE she works in the Trump admin. A Koch operative was also involved in the publication of the fake MAHA report, further validating my reporting on the KOCH COUP inside the Trump admin.
• While @elonmusk’s time as an SGE was always going to come to an end, the GOP could have done more to make it end on a positive note. But they have sucked the energy out of the base by refusing to incorporate cuts and by refusing to impeach judges. Why are they allowing for a Judicial Coup? Because the GOP wants Trump to be undermined. That’s why.

• @ScottPresler

• A Warning To Republicans. I’m on the ground every single day talking to voters. If Republicans don’t get their act together to codify President Trump’s agenda — DOGE, No Tax on Social Security — you will lose the midterm elections. I say this peacefully & professionally.
  

• @BennyJohnson

• President Trump just announced a $5,000 bonus for all United States steel workers and the stadium ERUPTED: "There will be no layoffs and no outsourcing whatsoever, and every U.S. steel worker will soon receive a well-deserved $5,000 bonus." (video)

• @C_3C_3

• Meet Judge Contreras. He just blocked Trump’s China tariffs. Rudy was on the FISA Court that illegally spied on Trump. Found in Strzok’s texts: “I need to get together w/ him.” (FISA Judge Contreras) Part of the op to ruin Flynn. Friends with Holder. It’s a judicial coup.

• @WallStreetApes

• NewsNation Anna Kooiman has evidence Big Agriculture is funding the anti- Make America Healthy Again campaigns and paying for fake science. She has the recipes AND NAMES “We've got a list for you of a handful of them. The American Farm Bureau, The National Corn and Soybean Associations, the Modern Ag Alliance” “Here is the part, the quiet part that's not always mentioned out loud, at least not very vocally, is that these groups have incredibly strong financial ties to the very pesticide makers that are being questioned in this report. (video)
• Robert F Kennedy Jr says heads of medical journals are coming forward to say it’s all Big Pharma propaganda now. “We are no longer science journals. We are about promoting pharmaceutical products and that's what we do” This is the state of global healthcare. It’s ALL for profit. (video)

• @StephenM

• The President of the United States isn’t the co-executive with 677 district court judges. The growth and abuse of the judiciary is ridiculous. It is the end of democracy if not reversed.

• @FFT1776

• Chuck Schumer’s annual salary $193,400. His net worth: $85 Million.

• @Barchart

• U.S. Dollar is now used in nearly 50% of global payments, the highest level in more than 12 years.  Euro not so much… (graph)

• @matt_vanswol

• Imagine giving Elon Musk and DOGE a standing ovation in front of the entire American people... ...and then never voting on a single DOGE cut. This performative bullshit has to end. (video)

• @DC_Draino

• John Roberts is overseeing the biggest collapse in judicial branch legitimacy in the history of the United States. All to protect illegal aliens cartel thugs. Good riddance to his legacy.
• I’ll be honest, I don’t want Canada as a 51st State. They have a population size (41M) comparable to California (39M), except even more liberal. They didn’t grow up learning about the Revolutionary War, free speech, owning guns, and liberty. It would lead to 2 safe Democrat Senate seats. It would also lead to a net +25 Democrat Congressional seats (out of ~50+ new House seats) and a guaranteed 50+ Electoral College votes for Democrats every election. Republicans would never win the White House or have a House majority ever again. Am I missing something here?

• @MJTruthUltra

• RFK Jr says they are Working on Removing Pharmaceutical Ads on TV in America. • 75+% of all revenues on the evening news networks are funded from Big Pharma — “Brought to you by Pfizer” • if you look at people like Anderson Cooper or Jake Tapper, their salaries are 100% funded by pharmaceutical companies — they know that and they have to tote the line • 20 years ago, these networks use to talk about vaccine problems and safety concerns — not anymore because they are literally almost 100% being funded by Big Pharma • When asked about the possibility of removing Big Pharma ads from television altogether, RFK said a few things:

• @EricLDaugh

• BREAKING: Senator Lindsey Graham just got to Kyiv to meet with Zelensky. THIS IS HOW our politicians spend their "work sessions" when they are out of session? Sucking up to a foreign dictator? UNACCEPTABLE!!! (video)

• @EmeraldRobinson

• Most of Congress is controlled by the FBI through blackmail. Most federal judges are controlled the same way. Sitting congressmen have told me this directly. Why do you think the Epstein files never actually get released?

• @EYakoby

• BREAKING: At today’s Harvard graduation, the speaker spent the entire speech attacking Israel and defending a student who assaulted a Jew. This isn’t a one-off. The radicalization at Harvard is systematic, not accidental. (video)
