• SEC NOEM: CHINA HAS INFILTRATED THIS COUNTRY. “These ties to China are deeply alarming, and they’re not just Harvard. There’s other universities. We’re going through every single one of them. China has infiltrated this country. It’s my job to protect the homeland, and I’ve been given that direction by President Trump. They will not participate in this foreign student program until they clean up their ways.” (video)
• FBI RELEASES 112 PAGES FROM NASHVILLE SCHOOL SHOOTER. IT'S WORSE THAN YOU THINK. After a long legal battle, the FBI finally dropped 112 pages of writings from the Nashville Covenant School shooter. Maps. Faculty lists. School break calendars. Anti-Christian rants. Screeds against religion, Biden, and life itself. The pages are soaked in bitterness and rage, the mind of someone who believed they were "born wrong" and "nothing on earth can save me." One page screams: “WE ARE ALL F*GS,” another maps out shooting drills, body armor setups, even nods to Columbine’s anniversary.
• TULSI: “THIS WAS STATE PROPAGANDA - PURE AND SIMPLE”. Tulsi declassified records showing how the Biden administration coordinated with Big Tech, media, and intel agencies to censor Americans and crush dissent. “They’ll lie. They’ll smear. They’ll silence. And they’ll even destroy you if you dare to speak the truth.”
• CANADA’S IMMIGRATION GRAPH JUST TURNED INTO A ROCKET SHIP. Canada's bringing in 2.5 million people by 2025. It's the biggest peacetime immigration spike ever for a country its size. The chart literally goes vertical after 2021. Blink and the population jumps 25%. At this rate, Canada’s about to gain a whole new Toronto every year. Hope they’re building houses faster than that line’s climbing.
• BREAKING: FEDS KNEW EAST PALESTINE WAS TOXIC, LIED ANYWAY. They burned 115,000 gallons of toxic chemicals, called it safe, and dipped. New docs show FEMA, the White House, and even the National Security Council secretly freaked out about “cancer clusters” and called it a “really toxic plume.” But they told the public, “Nothing to see here.” The FEMA guy sent by Biden? Never met with residents. Locals nicknamed him “the ghost of October.” Now they’re calling it criminal negligence. Honestly, can you blame them?

• @LauraLoomer

• On Fox News this morning with @MariaBartiromo, DHS Secretary @Sec_Noem said, “China has infiltrated this country." She’s right. So my question is, why are people like @StefanieSpear who have ties to China and the CCP via advocacy for @NRDC allowed to have a SECURITY CLEARANCE in the Trump administration at @HHSGov! Spear is a total Trump hater and she participated in the creation of and the publication of the recent MAHA Report that was riddled with errors and fake citations.

And it's the leadership and, frankly, the members of the Biden administration and the leadership of the Democratic Party who — they're the ones that lied." "Look, at the end of the day, no journalist is as good as their sources. At the end of the day, the Democratic Party lied to the American people.

• IRAN RACKS UP URANIUM AS THE WORLD HOLDS ITS BREATH. Iran has bumped its uranium stockpile to over 900 pounds of 60% purity uranium, which is a hop from weapons-grade. That is a big jump from the 600 pounds it had in February. The IAEA chief Rafael Mariano Grossi says Iran is the only country without nuclear bombs enriching to this level. He is calling on Tehran to cooperate now before things get worse. Trump still hopes for a deal.
• ROBOT HAND TAKES HUMAN TOUCH TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. Scientists at Korea’s Institute of Machinery and Materials have built a robot hand that can grip just about anything without missing a beat. Old robot hands move like robots, stiff and clumsy. This new one acts more like your own hand. It has a smart system that combines a four-bar linkage with wire-driven parts, making it shape-shifting and steady. Its secret weapon is the thumb, which bends and rotates with only one motor, keeping it light and nimble.
• ULTRASONIC VAPES: SLEEK AND SCARY. U-cigarettes may sound like a safe bet. Scientists at the University of California, Riverside found they pack a nasty punch instead. Unlike regular vapes, these gadgets use vibrations to create mist. But in that mist lurk 16 metals, including arsenic and selenium, the same villains linked to cancer and lung disease. One brand tested had nickel levels so high they might as well call it a metal smoothie. Even zinc and selenium, good in tiny amounts, turn traitorous at high doses. Once inhaled, these metals can hide in your lungs and dodge the usual body defenses, causing serious damage over time.
