🧵1/3 - The US Treasury has completed the integration of the digital serial number tracking system.

Experts say that with the proper development of technology, the US will be able to establish banknote monitoring and remotely "shut off" liquidity.

Banknotes that are noticed in suspicious transactions or have not been verified by official banks within 90 days may be added to stop lists. For the global financial system, they become "useless paper" -

they cannot be deposited or exchanged. Over time, the US may even declare a default on black money - if your money is of the wrong type and has the wrong serial numbers.🔚

Good morning #arpx! We're back for another couple days of fiscal session. Today in Joint Budget Committee are various amendments to funding bills; later in the personnel subcommittee we'll hear Sen. Terry Rice's proposed amendment to defund Joe Profiri's position.
Rep. Lundstrum pauses proceedings to make sure we're not spending any more money on unemployment services/benefits. Classy as always, Rep.

We are not, predictably (but we should be!)
Treasury is up to ask for a bit more money for salaries; Sen. Bryant is noting that the C-suite employees are getting as much as 20%+ raises, while lower level employees are getting as little as 2% (far below COL/inflation rates)

The Qur'an says:

"There is nothing like Him." (42:11)

Then why is "He" used for Allah?
When the Qur'an says,

"There is nothing like Him" (42:11),

it establishes a foundational principle in Islam: Allah is not comparable to His creation in any way. That includes form, body, limitations, and gender.

So why is "He" used?
First, Islam is very clear that Allah is not male or female. Gender is a biological characteristic of created beings. Allah is not created, and therefore human categories do not apply to Him.

In a world wounded by arrogance, people hunger and thirst for justice. We must encourage those who believe in peace and dare to engage in “countercurrent” politics, which focus on the common good. What is urgently needed is the courage of new visions and an educational pact that gives young people space and trust. #ApostolicJourney #EquatorialGuinea vatican.va/content/leo-xi…
The rapid technological evolution we are witnessing has accelerated speculative behavior in search of raw materials. This shift seems to overshadow fundamental imperatives such as the safeguarding of creation, the rights of local communities, the dignity of labor, and the protection of public health. I thus renew the appeal of Pope Francis, who passed away exactly one year ago: “Today we also have to say ‘thou shalt not’ to an economy of exclusion and inequality. Such an economy kills.”
Even more than in the past, it is clear today that the proliferation of armed conflicts is often driven by the exploitation of oil and mineral deposits, with no regard for international law or the self-determination of peoples.

The ceasefire isn’t “breaking down"

It’s doing exactly what zero-sum conflicts do:
revealing the next phase of war

What happens in the next 72 hours won’t be random.
It will follow a pattern

Here’s the framework almost no one is using
This is not a misunderstanding.

It’s a zero-sum collision of interests:

• Iran cannot both control and not control the Strait of Hormuz
• It cannot both keep and give up nuclear capability

And the U.S. cannot accept either without losing power

That’s why the ceasefire was always temporary
When conflicts are zero-sum, fighting doesn’t restart randomly

It escalates in steps

Each move tries to compel -- Each failure pushes both sides to the next level

This isn’t chaos -- It’s a discernable ladder

$NBIS is my top holding. I believe it will be a multi-bagger long term.

But after a +80% move in the last 3 weeks, a short-term pullback looks likely.

Part of my strategy to hedge without giving up upside?
Selling covered calls on part of my position and collecting premium.

Here’s how I’m doing it 🧵Image
2/
After this recent run, $NBIS is no longer as cheap as it used to be.

So I sell a covered call → I commit to selling 100 shares at a price I choose and get paid while I wait.
3/
A covered call works like this:
• You own 100 shares of a stock (the “cover”)
• You sell a call option on those shares, earning a premium
• If the stock stays below the strike → you keep shares + premium
• If it goes above the strike → you sell your shares at that price

9 Foods That Turn Low-T Men Into High-Testosterone Beasts.

(Eat These Every Day)

1. Eggs( The T Factory) Image
Image
1. Eggs (The T Factory)

Whole eggs yolks included. Cholesterol + vitamin D + protein = raw material for testosterone production.

Eat 4-6 daily.

Higher T = stronger morning wood, thicker loads, more aggression in bed.

Soy boys fear the yolk. Beasts eat them. Image
2. Oysters / Zinc-Rich Shellfish (Testosterone’s Best Friend)

Zinc is critical for T synthesis. Oysters have more zinc than anything else on the planet.

Eat 2-3x per week or get zinc from beef/pumpkin seeds daily.

Low zinc = low T, weak erections, pathetic loads. Fix this Image

1/5 You want to minimize casualties and end Russia's war on Ukraine faster?

The only way to do that is to provide Ukraine with more long-range strike capabilities, including both Ukrainian and European ones.

Delaying only costs more innocent lives Image
2/5 We need to fund more Ukrainian missiles and drones and help them scale up production immediately.

At the same time we must produce more missiles of our own to hand over.

We absolutely need to step up the production of cruise missiles like the Storm Shadow Image
3/5 We must mass produce cheap cruise missiles like the American ERAM program.

We should get creative too.

We could pre-order Ukrainian weapons for our own militaries, let Ukraine use them to fight today, and only take delivery after the war is won Image

1/ Russia's Ministry of Defence has hailed its first "airborne religious procession" – a fly-by of an icon of the Archangel Michael in a Mi-8 transport helicopter over Russian units in eastern Ukraine. However, it has received a sour response from those on the ground. ⬇️
2/ According to the Russian MOD, "an Mi-8 helicopter carrying an icon of the Archangel Michael flew along the operational zone of the 27th Motorised Rifle Brigade and the 68th Motorised Rifle Division of the "West" group of forces.

A Ka-52 helicopter provided escort."
3/ One of those on the ground, the warblogger 'Vault No. 8' – a serving Russian soldier – points out that the 27th Motorised Rifle Brigade (military unit 61899) has a dire reputation for sending its men to their deaths en masse and otherwise abusing its soldiers.

Today, I am chairing a hearing on Arctic Frost and the Coordinated Lawfare Campaign against President Trump and the American Right.

I am investigating the coordination between these campaigns.

From newly released documents: "Fani Willis is an ICON — I can't help but to stan."🧵 Image
Arctic Frost was not a normal investigation.

Law enforcement investigates crimes.

It does not map political movements. It does not build a political enemies list through search warrants and gag orders. Image
The Biden Administration launched a whole of government effort to identify, intimidate, bankrupt, and jail the people and institutions that made up President Trump’s political world.

It looks like a dragnet. A fishing expedition.

Here is a concise summary of the seven myths debunked in Michael Doran's April 13, 2026, Tablet Magazine article "Seven Myths About the Iran War," which critiques narratives from progressive/left and isolationist/restrainer ...
1)
(e.g., Tucker Carlson/Cato) perspectives on Trump's 2025-2026 Iran campaign (Operation Epic Fury and related actions).
2)
Doran argues these myths stem from a shared ideological opposition to American global leadership, military force, and close U.S.-Israel partnership. They portray Trump's actions as reckless adventurism, ignoring the realities of Iranian aggression, nuclear advances,
