• @MarioNawfal

• Rep. Thomas Massie is pushing back on the big annual defense bill (NDAA). He wants his amendment stripping Section 219, which would merge U.S. military tech and supply chains with Israel’s, to get a vote when the Rules Committee meets Monday night. If they block it, he says he’ll vote against the rule. Massie has long opposed deep U.S. military entanglements and foreign aid packages, specially concerning Israel.

• AI TAKES THE WHEEL ON WALL STREET. JPMorgan is testing AI agents that independently shift investments between stocks and bonds as market conditions change. In 20-year backtests, its top model beat the traditional 60/40 portfolio by 0.7 percentage points annually, with lower volatility. All eight AI agents delivered stronger risk-adjusted returns. But JPMorgan urges caution: the results are simulations, not live performance. AI could also increase crowded trades and amplify market stress. 

• @DC_Draino

• Trump is officially playing hardball. Refuses to sign the housing bill until voter ID is passed. The line in the sand has been drawn so it’s time for Thune to stop being a buffoon.

• @LauraLoomer

• Everyone is realizing I am right. Now, Mitch McConnell’s neighbors are going on the record saying he “looked dead” when he was wheeled out of his home in DC on a stretcher and 2 of his staffers were seen outside his home crying, and distraught. Why would they be crying if he wasn’t brain dead? Neighbors also said days before he was found unconscious, his staff were seen wheeling him into his house in a wheel chair with his head slumped down and his mouth wide open! He is brain dead!!!!

• @WallStreetApes

• Chips are being embedded into your clothing labels. The chips are mainly RFID, Radio Frequency Identification, chips being embedded into the labels. If you look closely or hold the labels up to light you can clearly see the chip, not all labels have them but many retailers are using them. RFID chips are used in many huge retailers in America for - Inventory tracking. - Self-checkout, you place items in a bin and the system reads all tags automatically. - Anti-theft and security. They contain a microchip and antenna but are not “tracking microchips” however I’d still recommend removing them. They’ve been out for years but are being used by more and more major retailers so people are staying to notice. (video)

• Amazing chart from today's episode: It's not just that US household exposure to equities is at a record high, but that the stock market is a SIGNIFICANTLY greater component of total household net worth than real estate now, which blows my mind. The stock market is the economy. (graph)

• @LeadingReport

• New Mexico alleges the DOJ is hindering its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, per Reuters.

• @RealCandaceO

• There are so many devastating points to the Tyler Robinson narrative but chief among them is Lance Twiggs testifying that Tyler wasn’t political, didn’t ever speak to him about LBGTQ issues OR gender identity issues— and also alluding to that fact that he is not trans. He goes by “Luna” but he says it is not a female identity. (Likely some gamer or anime stuff imo). For months, people have been trying to convince you that Tyler was soooo motivated by politics and trans ideology, that he decided to murder Charlie Kirk for trans viewpoints that Tyler held so dearly, he never even expressed them his boyfriend.

• @AmericaOnlyBro

• If you want to prove to someone that Charlie's shirt moves BEFORE the damage to his neck, show them this. It is unbelievable that anyone believes it was a bullet. At this point, I think some people just say they believe the FEDSLOP because their hatred of Candace Owens outweighs their love of the truth. (video)

• @IanCarrollShow

• Ex-Green Beret Valhalla VFT explains why the bullets shown in court today could not possibly have caused the wound we saw on Charlie Kirk’s neck. All the fed-sloppers have been spinning conspiracy theories about old bullets and home loaded bullets and all sorts of ways maybe a .30-06 could possibly have maybe done it. Nope. Turns out they’re just brand new hunting rounds from Walmart. Ruh-roh. (video)

• @KobeissiLetter

• Corporate insiders are buying tech stocks at a record pace: 28 executives at companies within the US technology sector ETF, $XLK, have purchased their own stock on the open market over the last 6 months, the highest count on record, according to SentimenTrader. This figure has DOUBLED since the start of 2026. This also surpasses the previous record of 25 insiders set in 2011. By comparison, in early 2025, just 5 executives were buyers. US executives are rushing to buy tech stocks. (graph)

• @goddek

• This is how “DEMOCRACY” works in Europe: 314 vote AGAINST mass surveillance. 276 vote FOR it. MASS SURVEILLANCE WINS. Then the same bureaucratic hypocrites travel the world lecturing everyone about democracy and their so-called “European values.” WELCOME TO THE EUSSR.

• @HustleBitch

• "FLOCK YOU PETER THIEL!" — AMERICANS ARE RAGING & FIGHTING BACK AGAINST HIS SURVEILLANCE EMPIRE. People are done staying quiet. A new clip showing Peter Thiel’s companies Palantir and Flock has the internet raging. Palantir, the all-seeing data monster, hoovers up massive amounts of information and turns it into actionable intelligence. Flock blankets neighborhoods with license plate readers and cameras. They’re now bragging about “Maven Smart System”, their flagship AI tool that fuses multiple data feeds into one clean god-mode interface. Left click. Right click. Detection becomes action. No more clunky systems. Just one terrifyingly efficient machine for total surveillance and targeting.

• @KylieJaneKremer

• One thing driving me absolutely crazy about the Mitch McConnell situation is that no one has publicly confirmed Elaine Chao is even back in the United States. No reporter. No investigative journalist. No verified public sighting. An unnamed source sent an unverified email to the Daily Beast stating her husbands health didn’t warrant an immediate return? But then she was all of the sudden back in the U.S.? Come on. We’re expected to simply accept that she’s back stateside without any independent confirmation. Meanwhile, she was meeting with CCP officials in China while her husband remains hospitalized. The lack of transparency surrounding this entire situation is extraordinary. Something is very, very wrong. Where is the state department on all of this??

• @EricLDaugh

• BREAKING: Sen. Mike Lee just amplified the fact that Vice President JD VANCE has the FULL AUTHORITY to overrule the Democrat-linked Senate Parliamentarian. SCOTT PRESLER: "There will come a time that Vice President Vance needs to overrule the parliamentarian. It’s within his authority to do so." JD is President of the Senate. She is a HUGE roadblock to passing bills like SAVE America! Thune should just fire her. This would be a MONUMENTAL move: The last time a sitting VP — the President of the Senate — over ruled the parliamentarian was in 1975. Any means necessary! (video)

• @Toddstarnes

• CNN has issued a statement to the Daily Beast regarding Scott Jennings' alleged 20-minute chat with Sen. Mitch McConnell. "As a CNN Political Commentator, Scott Jennings is not a full-time employee or journalist for the network. His account of a personal conversation with Senator McConnell reflects his experience and is not CNN reporting." Was CNN not able to verify their own political commentator's reporting?

• @Lukas_m_ziegler

• A humanoidal welder! @personaaiinc deployed their humanoid to a real welding facility in Houston and executed an actual weld. All of that in a hot-work industrial environment with arc flash, smoke, and uneven flooring. The robot squats down, executes the weld with a steady arc, stands back up. Functional welding requires multi-joint precision, spatial awareness, and real-time path correction. The robot had to hold a lit torch, maintain arc stability, and lay down a valid weld path. The motion is choppy. They're honest about that. But they proved the robot can handle the full sequence that actual industrial work demands. (video)

• @VigilantFox

• Joe Rogan fell into stunned silence as Dr. Casey Means rattled off one disturbing health stat after another. “We are getting destroyed, and it’s very recent, and it’s accelerating,” she warned. • “74% of Americans are overweight or obese.” • “Young adult cancers are going up 79% in the last 10 years.” • “25% of men now under 40 have erectile dysfunction.” • “50%, now, of American adults have type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. These were diseases where there was 1% of Americans in 1950 had type 2 diabetes. Now it’s 50% of Americans have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.” • “Alzheimer’s, dementia are going through the roof.” • “Young adult dementias have increased, like, three times since 2012. So early onset dementias.” • “One in two Americans are expected to have cancer in their lifetime now, one in two.” • “One in [31] children has autism now, in the United States. That was one in 150 in the year 2000.” • “In California, where I live, [Autism rates are] one in 22. One in 22 with a lifetime neurodevelopmental disorder.” • “Infertility going up 1% per year.” • “77% of young Americans can’t serve in the military because of obesity or drug abuse.” • “Autoimmune diseases. Some studies are saying they’re going up 13% per year.” • “Heart disease, which is almost totally preventable, is the leading cause of death in the United States, killing around 800,000 people per year.” “It’s basically like all of us are a little bit dead while we’re alive,” Dr. Means said.

• @ImBreackWorsham

• So, my key takeaways from the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing were: 1.) The ballistics don't match. 2.) The gun doesn't match. 3.) The fingerprints don't match. 4.) The palm print doesn't match, and... 5.) Ben Shapiro's "security team," made up of one time IDF soldiers, was getting live updates from Charlie Kirk's team on whether he was alive or dead on the way to the hospital. Did I miss anything?

• @BuzzPatterson

• This needs to be paid attention to. The first weaponized drones to patrol American neighborhoods won't be military. They'll be $Axon's Taser drones. The company you've never heard of is quietly arming them and selling them to your local police. Literally a Flying Taser in the sky. WTF are we doing here?!

OpenVAERS:  

• VAERS US COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports. 1,033,789 Reports (+329 from prior report) Through May 29th, 2026.

SKirsch.com:

• Using the MGH numbers with our own VAERS queries, we have 247 cases per million doses from the MGH study divided by 5.97 cases per million doses from VAERS. 247/5.97 = 41. This suggests that the VAERS under-reporting factor (URF) is 41X.
