@DAGToddBlanche Why did you sideline @EdMartinDOJ ? We The People want to know? If he wasn’t following the archaic rules at DOJ, it’s because they breed corruption! I’m a victim of the Justice Department! See below:
I have had my discrimination, retaliation, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge lawsuit stonewalled for 13+ years, since I filed the complaint! I was a dedicated and highly decorated GS-15 Agent until I reported it!
The timeline and the two individuals who destroyed my career were part of an Andy McCabe systemic corruption cabal! I have lost everything and the facts + the timeline show clear progression of the retaliation and hostile work environment with broken laws & policies!

1/21 🧵 You might think from Part 1 that I consider Trump a geopolitical genius—a secret mastermind who single-handedly hatched this global transformation. Don’t worry: I absolutely do not.
2/21 He doesn’t act out of his own erratic genius. He is simply the perfect executor. A vain, unscrupulous, and easily manipulated front man who portrays himself as a doer, but in reality is merely following a prewritten script. Image
3/21 His true motivation remains maximizing his own wealth, as well as that of his family and peers. Whether through direct deals or insider bets on Polymarket or Crypto, he cashes in while the real architects work behind the scenes to reshape the world.

Final Four weekend.

4 coaches.
4 completely different styles.

But they all win for the same reason:
They know exactly who they are.

Here's what separates the ones who last👇🧵 Image
1: Dan Hurley - Standards over everything.

Watch Hurley mic’d up.

Every possession matters.
Every detail matters.

He doesn’t coach the score.
He coaches the standard.

👉 Players don’t guess what matters. They feel it. Image
2: Tommy Lloyd - Freedom with trust

Turn on Arizona.

Ball moves.
Players play free.
Decisions are quick.

But it’s not loose.
It’s built on trust + reps.

👉 Freedom works when it’s trained. Image

In 1969, NASA sent 3 people to the moon in a tin can with less computing power than your phone.

Underneath it all are 5 principles that apply to achieving success at any big goal.

But the real gut-punch is at the end of this thread: 🧵 Image

Passion

Research found that doing something you're passionate about makes you persist through difficulty, enjoy the grind, and produce better work.

The question isn't "what do you like?" It's "what pushes you past 'driven' into 'someone stage an intervention'?"
3/
Set Stretch Goals

Aim for goals with a 50–70% chance of success. Ambitious enough to force real effort. Not so crazy that writing it down makes you laugh.

Then make them SMarT: Specific, Measurable, Time-constrained. JFK didn't say "do some kinda space thing eventually."

quantum hypers don't have to agree with quantum realists on timeline, as there is strong value in providing a step-up sequence of PQ readiness for bitcoin users, so they have a long migration time. it also makes it more plausible to deprecate unmigrated ECDSA/schnorr signatures.
and even quantum researchers (who are not themselves hypers) don't understand bitcoin architectural and design details. for example the @googlequantumai paper confuses taproot/schnorr - it's explicitly designed in 2018/19 to be quantum ready with the tapleaf plug in PQ schemes,
@GoogleQuantumAI and tapleaf commitment scheme was later formally proven PQ secure by @real_or_random. and the google paper also flags short-range vs long-range attacks as a weak point which is incorrect: schnorr was designed with the short vs long range equivalence mindset, hence unhashed key.

Don’t upgrade your Claude plan yet.
Don’t upgrade your Claude plan yet.
Don’t upgrade your Claude plan yet.

Anthropic is counting on you hitting the limit before you ever fix the way you use it even with a Max plan

Most people think they need more usage.

A few small changes can make your account last far longer, often the same day.

DO THESE 10 THINGS NOW👇
1. Edit your prompt. Don't send a follow-up

When @claudeai doesn't get your thoughts right, you might feel tempted to send:

"No, I meant [your message]"
"Ugh, that's not what I wanted [your message]"

Don't do that!

Every subsequent message is added to the conversation history. Claude re-reads ALL of it every turn - burning tokens on context that didn't even help.

Token cost per message = all previous messages + your new one.

Total = S × N(N+1) / 2 (S = avg tokens per exchange, N = message count)

At ~500 tokens per exchange:
• 5 messages: 7.5K tokens
• 10 messages: 27.5K tokens
• 20 messages: 105K tokens
• 30 messages: 232K tokens

Message 30 costs 31x more than message 1

Instead: click Edit on your original message → fix it → regenerate. The old exchange gets replaced, not stacked.

Fix the prompt, don't feed the history.
2. Start a fresh chat every 15-20 messages

Token costs grow with every message.

Ideally, you should start a new chat every 15-20 messages.

Now imagine a chat with 100+ messages. At ~500 tokens per exchange, that's over 2.5 million tokens burned - most of it just re-reading old history.

One developer tracked his usage and found that 98.5% of tokens were spent on re-reading the history.

Only 1.5% went toward actually outputting the result.

When a chat gets long → ask Claude to summarize everything → copy it → new chat → paste as first message.

The #1 question in my clinic right now:

“Why is my fasting insulin HIGH...even after 12 hours of not eating?”

Your doctor probably ignored it.

Here’s what’s actually happening: Image
Your lab says fasting insulin is “normal” up to 25 µIU/mL.

That’s not normal.
That’s average.

And average = metabolically sick population.
Optimal: < 8
Early resistance: > 10

If you're at 15, 18, 22…
Your pancreas is already working overtime.

Modern men struggle with stamina.

But 2,000 years ago, the Kamasutra already had the answers.

Want to last longer, control your energy, and leave her begging for more?

Here are 10 techniques from the Kamasutra you NEED to know: Image
Image
1. The Power of Slow & Deep Breathing

Your breath controls your stamina

Ancient wisdom: Fast breath = fast finish
Slow breath = full control

Do: Inhale deeply through your nose, exhale slowly through your mouth.

Don’t: Breathe heavily or lose control, this speeds up climax
2. The Art of the “Locked Root” (Mula Bandha)

A secret yogic move to control release.

How? Squeeze the muscles between your balls & anus (like stopping urine flow).

Do: Practice Kegels daily to strengthen this control.

Don’t Wait until the moment comes, train in advance.

Your doctor says your blood pressure is "a little high."

But high blood pressure silently damages your arteries and brain for years before symptoms show.

Here are 8 science-backed methods to lower it naturally:🧵

1. Don't worry so much about salt. Worry about potassium Image
You need more potassium.

Potassium relaxes your blood vessel walls and helps flush out excess sodium.

Best sources :

• Bananas
• Avocados
• Leafy greens
• Sweet potatoes

Most people get less than half the potassium they need.

Here's what they never told you about salt:
2. Walk for at least 30 minutes everyday.

Walking boosts nitric oxide production in your blood vessels.

The result?

Your arteries relax, they become healthier and your blood flows better.

But you don't need 10K steps.

Just walking a few thousand more steps a day than you are now is enough.

Trump is currently on an all-time persuasion run.

I posted about this yesterday morning on 𝕏 and I want to go deeper here, because it’s one of the most sophisticated persuasion sequences I’ve seen Trump run.

Trump has been using the word TAKE--in all caps, repeatedly--in connection with Iranian oil and all things Iran. And it’s easy to miss what he’s actually doing with it. He even used the word 9x in his primetime speech.

He’s not just describing a policy option. He’s conditioning you to see Iranian oil as something that can be picked up off the floor. Free money.

Here’s the sequence he is running...Image
The TAKE Campaign

First, he told 90 million Iranians to TAKE control of their government back. That plants the idea that something in Iran is there for the taking.

Then, he told the UK to TAKE the oil from Iran. He told other nations the same thing.

Nobody stepped up. And maybe that’s the point.

Trump is walking around the room picking money off the floor saying “does this belong to anyone? No? Okay.” He waits. Nobody moves. Then he just puts it in his pocket.

People are going to soon realize they could’ve (and should’ve) picked up that money.

Trump couldn’t have said six weeks ago “I want Iran’s oil.” The public wasn’t ready for it. First he had to establish that the military objectives were already met — that somebody else needs to come in and clean up the oil and economic mess. Then he had to introduce the idea that Iranian oil was somehow available, unclaimed, waiting.

He did that by asking other people to take it first.

When they didn’t — when the UK demurred, when other nations didn’t step up — Trump didn’t force it. He just kept saying the word. TAKE. TAKE. TAKE. Each repetition makes the idea more normal. Less radical. More like a real estate transaction than an act of war. The art of the deal.

This is what I’m calling the TAKE Campaign — a systematic conditioning effort to reframe the seizure of Iranian oil from “conquest” to “deal.” From aggression to opportunity. From theft to salvage. He did it so smoothly.

And it worked. Glenn Greenwald posted yesterday to 1.7 million followers that the liberation narrative disappeared and “now it’s all about stealing their oil.” He’s calling it out as hypocrisy.

I’d argue he’s half right.

The liberation framing was always designed to expire. It served its purpose: it gave the military campaign moral cover while the actual objectives — the Strait, the oil, leverage over China — got secured. Now that phase is over. Trump doesn’t need the liberation frame anymore, so he dropped it.

That’s not hypocrisy. What. a. sequence.

Greenwald spotted the shift. He just has the wrong explanation for it.

When you begin to realize this TAKE Campaign is happening, you can appreciate Trump as one of the greatest persuaders of all time and allow that filter to help you make sense of all he does on the public stage.Image
The Congress Problem

One more persuasion angle worth flagging this morning since you're here.

Yesterday, Trump said he doesn’t need Congress to pull the US out of NATO. “I don’t need Congress for that decision.”

Community notes on X quickly pointed out that he’s wrong — Section 1250A of the 2024 NDAA requires two-thirds Senate approval.

But watch what that statement is doing underneath.

Trump is building a pattern of claiming executive unilateralism on major foreign policy moves. He said it about NATO. He’s implied it about Iran. And at some point, someone is going to ask: does Trump need Congress to take Iranian oil?

The legal answer is almost certainly yes. Seizing the sovereign assets of a foreign nation — even one you’re at war with — requires legislative authorization. Iraq’s oil fields never became American oil fields. Libya’s didn’t either.

But Trump is pre-loading the I don’t need Congress frame before the question gets asked loudly. If he can normalize the idea that these are executive calls, the legal objection lands softer when it arrives.

This is Anchoring. Set the extreme claim first. Let people fight about it. Then the more moderate version — a deal that gives the US commercial access to Iranian oil through a negotiated framework — doesn’t seem radical at all by comparison.

You wanted to “take” the oil? Fine, here’s a 40-year lease structure instead. Sounds reasonable. Deal done.

Note: Whether the United States benefits financially from this oil crisis is to be determined. We’ll see!
