1/6 Not me. I wouldn't want him to be confirmed as the next Fed Chair either, which is the position he is trying to obtain. How sad to see someone who used to be an honorable man turn into the next sock puppet to Donald Trump, and who will fold to his demands as he is being used
2/6 day in and day out. As for me, if I would have been the Committee Chairman in charge of the hearing I would have IMMEDIATELY gaveled the hearing closed after Mr. Warsh REFUSED to answer such EASY fucking question he was asked, one being...whether Joe Biden won the 2020
3/6 election or not. Marsh wouldn't even answer such a SIMPLE question, instead tap dancing around, ending in a smart ass answer, knowing if he answered truthfully he would piss Trump off. As well he would not answer a question about the 100 million in investments that he REFUSED

All of this happened around the world this week. A thread of @thewarzonewire stories. 1/10
A day after President Donald Trump ordered U.S. forces to destroy Iranian ships laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Friday said efforts to prevent mining are already underway. @haltman 2/10
The U.S. Navy has shared details about what looks to be a previously undisclosed effort to rapidly arm ships in two carrier strike groups with radar-guided Longbow Hellfire missiles to protect against drones. This reflects a larger push to expand shipboard defenses against uncrewed aerial threats, which now includes four Arleigh Burke class destroyers sailing with new launchers to fire Coyote interceptors. TWZ was first to report on the appearance of one of these launchers on the USS Carl M. Levin, with Naval News subsequently sharing more information. @FranticGoat 3/10

President Trump has rightly laid out that Europe must step up, and NATO must no longer be a paper tiger.
Through the historic Hague Commitments, Europe has begun to do so.

But the key now is, in the words of SecGen Rutte, action over words. As Rutte put it this week, “Air defense systems, drones, ammunition, radars, space capabilities — that is what will keep us safe.” 1/
Germany is now taking the leading role in this. After years of disarmament, Berlin is stepping up. The DOW is already working closely with European allies, especially Germany, to accelerate this transition to NATO 3.0. 2/
Berlin’s new Military Strategy shows a clear path forward and we look forward to collaborating closely with the FRG to implement this. Below are some key excerpts: 3/ Image

COVID-19 creates a state of immune dysregulation where the body may lose control over things it normally keeps suppressed - latent viruses, especially herpesviruses, and possibly even dormant cancer cells.
A new study on EBV and CD8 T cells fits into this bigger picture.🧵
The point is not simply that EBV can reactivate during COVID. We already have quite a lot of evidence for that.
In hospitalized patients with acute COVID, EBV reactivation was very common - around 68-73% - and it was seen not only in critical cases, but also in moderate disease.
The authors looked at EBV, CMV, HHV-6A and HHV-6B.

EBV dominated.
CMV and HHV-6B were detected only at low frequencies.
HHV-6A was not detected at all.
So this does not look like just random viral noise. EBV stands out.

🚨The en banc Fifth Circuit has allowed a Texas law that criminalizes illegal border crossings to take effect, holding that challengers lack standing to sue.

The law also allows state judges to issue orders requiring noncitizens to return to a port of entry. Image
Image
The majority does not address the merits of the case, but Judge Ho contemplates that Texas has the authority to enact this statute under its war powers, and Judge Oldham addresses federal preemption and valid applications of the law.
The dissents argue that the nonprofits have organizational standing because of forced operational changes, and that El Paso has standing as a county because of budgetary, administrative, and public safety harms.

They also reject any pre-enforcement argument against standing.

🚨WHAT DID SHE KNOW?

Michigan Sec of State Jocelyn Benson was on the SPLC board when it was funding white nationalists. She’s touted her history with SPLC while running for governor. I asked her campaign for comment: no response.

🧵1/9

dailysignal.com/2026/04/24/mic…
According to the DOJ, SPLC sent $3M to KKK members, neo-Nazis, a Charlottesville “Unite the Right” organizer, and more. SPLC didn’t deny this-it claimed these people were “informants,” helping SPLC foil violent plots.

🧵2/9
While the KKK firebombed the SPLC’s offices in 1983, the indictment covers 2014-2023. During that time, SPLC exaggerated hate by putting mainstream conservatives and Christians on a “hate map” with Klan chapters.

Pay attention to what is happening at the Department of Justice.

The New York Times reported today that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is moving forward with investigations and prosecutions against five people.

Here are the five.🧵
Cassidy Hutchinson. She was the star witness at the January 6 Committee hearings.

She testified under oath about what she saw at the White House that day.
James Comey. Former FBI Director.

Fired by Trump in 2017. Previously indicted by this Justice Department.

His case was dismissed by a federal judge in November.

The NCAA moving toward 5 years of eligibility in 5 years would be one of the most important business changes in college sports.

Not because it’s cleaner, but because it changes how schools value, recruit, develop, and pay athletes.

Here’s what it impacts:⬇️
The old model gave programs flexibility.

- Redshirt a freshman.
- Develop them physically. 📈
- Let them learn the system.
- Use waivers when needed.

The new model says:
- Your clock starts. ⏰
- It does not stop.

That changes everything. 🏈
Impact #1: Current rosters get older — fast.

If schools know every athlete has a fixed 5-year window, coaches will prioritize players who can help immediately.

Developmental roster spots become harder to justify.

Potential matters less. 📉

Production matters more. 📈

What if staying in shape required no diet?
No calorie counting.
No restriction.
No willpower.
Just 25 foods. Eaten consistently. 85% of the time.
This is the list that makes being healthy almost inevitable. Save this before you scroll past it.
The secret behind every person who seems to stay in shape effortlessly is never genetics. It is never a complicated programme. It is a short list of nutrient dense anti-inflammatory foods eaten repeatedly and consistently. Master the list. Master your health. Here is the full breakdown of why every single food earns its place.
Your muscle, gut lining, skin and hormones are all built from protein:
→ Greek yogurt - protein and probiotics healing gut daily
→ Chicken and ground turkey - lean complete protein for muscle and metabolism
→ Wild salmon - omega-3s reducing inflammation at cellular level
→ Shrimp - high protein, low calorie, rich in iodine for thyroid health
→ Eggs - the most complete food on earth. Period.

(🧵1/20) @Columbia just released its Senate Review Committee Report.

Most coverage will focus on the recommendations. The bombshell is buried in Appendix R: a Sullivan & Cromwell legal opinion dated July 18, 2025.

What it says, and why it matters.

@Columbia (🧵2/20) S&C was asked one question: when Senate leaders call the Senate a "third branch" of Columbia governance, coordinate with the President and Trustees, are they right?

Answer: no. Not contested interpretation. Foreclosed on the face of the primary sources.
@Columbia (🧵3/20) Why this matters: the "third branch" framing has been asserted, repeatedly and publicly, by @CUSenate leaders and Senate-affiliated bodies for over a year.

Seven instances on the record. Each one runs into the same wall.

@MugenBeastSFW @Chimknisburnin @KiwiFarmsDotNet @FakeTaxedBrass Board for actual pedophiles to discuss being pedophiles.
@MugenBeastSFW @Chimknisburnin @KiwiFarmsDotNet @FakeTaxedBrass It was apparently directly inspired by Hotwheels (who Josh was friends with for years and who sided with his psychosis about lolicon) hosting a board for people to post photos of real little girls.
