🧵Former Special Counsel Jack Smith wants video of his 8-hour deposition released and continues to ask for the opportunity to testify in a public hearing.
This has been Smith's repeated request since October.

The reason it wasn't public is because House Judiciary Committee chair Rep. Jim Jordan declined to make it so.

It would be great to get the video of the 8-hour closed-door session released and also have a public hearing.
Both sides will use it for political gain and reinforcement of their preferred narratives, so it will be annoying in that way but could also be useful...

@TmsFleming @SpitGriffon @PierrePoilievre Bills that don't make sense for Cdns or need amendments-that's the role of opposition to do better. Re gun control-Liberals are just trying to look good for votes, not even based on any evidence. Even RCMP states it's useless.
@TmsFleming @SpitGriffon @PierrePoilievre Re voting against min wage-misinformation. Context: In Canada, the federal minimum wage only applies to a tiny sliver of workers in federally regulated industries like banking or telecom—think 6% of the workforce. Provinces set their own minimum wages, so this claim is already on
@TmsFleming @SpitGriffon @PierrePoilievre shaky ground.
Analysis: The Liberals slapped a $15/hour federal minimum wage into place in 2021, indexed to inflation, through regulation—NOT A PARLIAMENTARY VOTE. So, let’s get this straight: there WASN’T even a vote for Poilievre to “vote against”! This claim is a slimy half-

Ukraine isn’t striking tankers at random.
This is a calculated energy-logistics operation.
Yes, nearly 10 Russian “shadow fleet” tankers have been hit in recent days.
That sounds extreme until you look at who is not being targeted.

Key fact:
~87% of the shadow fleet is Greek-owned or Greek-operated at the technical level.
Yet no Greek-flagged or politically protected vessels are touched.
That alone tells you everything.
This is not a naval campaign. It’s a geo-economic one.

Ukraine’s target selection is surgical:
• Weak flags with no diplomatic backstop
• Russian-linked beneficial owners
• Dubious or state-backed insurance
• Empty return voyages
Why avoid Greek vessels?

Best part -- trying to figure out how to turn *in* my Ioniq 5 to (another, more local) Hyundai dealer. I call SIX TIMES over the course of hours. Nobody answers the phone.
Nobody answers the "general questions" line. Nobody answers the "finance" line. I finally push over to the sales line, where I immediately get an answer. I guess "sales" is the only people working between 9 am and noon at the local Hyundai dealer.
And, of course, Hyundai only accepts turn-ins Monday through Thursday. They will not make an exception for Friday, any time of day. I could come in right when they open at 9:00 a.m., but nope, it's not happening.
Don’t let the EU off the hook on free speech. We wrote to the European Commission to remind Brussels exactly how the DSA imperils free expression. 🧵

In their November review of the DSA, the Commission had the opportunity to address free speech concerns head-on. Instead, they swept them under the carpet and kicked the can down the road until 2027.
But the DSA is already shaping what people can say online now.
But the DSA is already shaping what people can say online now.
The Commission claims their November review was transparent but won’t say who was involved or how decisions were made. No names, no methods, no balance.
If the DSA review is solid, why hide the process? Who is really deciding Europe’s online speech legislation behind the curtain?

THREAD BREAKING DOWN BIG TECH’S $2T AI GAMBLE 👇
Big Tech (Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta…) is pouring billions into AI infrastructure—but current revenue is nowhere near covering costs.
Big Tech (Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta…) is pouring billions into AI infrastructure—but current revenue is nowhere near covering costs.
KEY NUMBERS:
• 2025 Capex: ~$300–400B planned by top 4 hyperscalers.
• 2025–2027 cumulative spend: $1.15T (Goldman Sachs).
• Debt funding: $121B issued in 2025—4x historical average. Another $100B expected in 2026.
• Needed revenue: $2T/year by 2030 (Bain) vs. current ~$20B.
AI revenue needs 100x growth just to break even.

FUNDING & CASH FLOW STRAIN:
Even cash-rich companies are borrowing heavily, reminiscent of the 1990s telecom boom.
Goldman Sachs warns: AI capex could consume nearly all operating cash flow, making companies reliant on bondholders.

No.
'Gender dysphoria' as formulated by the DSM does NOT exist.
It has no empirical basis, or clinical validity.
We have all been had.
It is a huge, huge, confidence trick.
And it worked!

All companies should be able to sell cars direct to consumer. My experience with Hyundai when trying to lease a new vehicle post-Ioniq was lazy, annoying, and generally unhelpful.
They would have probably gotten another sale if I could have had a no-BS experience. :\

Elaboration: They sent me some "year / lease end" deals for gas-guzzlers unprompted, so I reached out to let them know I'd actually be interested in an Ioniq 5 or 6 lease instead.
They then, of course, lobbed over a ridiculously high offer, and tried to tell me that all the research I was doing was wrong. Yep. All the brokers, whose deals are all nearly identical (and much better), are working together to gaslight me.
Minnesota stands as the definitive monument to the failure of the progressive state. They call it the "Minnesota Miracle" but the reality is far more sinister. It is a looting operation of biblical proportions disguised as compassion. The left turned the North Star State into a free-for-all for fraudsters. This is how they stole over $2 billion from you. 🧵THREAD
The Department of Justice calls it "staggering industrial-scale fraud." We are talking about $1 billion to $2 billion siphoned from child nutrition, housing, and Medicaid programs. This exploded under Governor Walz while he was busy lecturing you on morality. The administrative state did not just fail. It facilitated the robbery.
Feeding Our Future was the flagship vessel for this piracy. Aimee Bock, a white leftist, allied with a network primarily within the Somali community to exploit COVID era loopholes. They claimed to feed millions of children. In reality they fed their own greed. They billed for 6,000 meals a day in a town with fewer than 3,000 residents. The math never mattered. The check always cleared.
One of the greatest neurosurgeons in history once said MORE THAN HALF of the information in medical textbooks today is DEAD WRONG, “and we know it.”
The impact this has on human health, he warned, is “incalculable.”
The real crisis isn’t that medicine gets things wrong. It’s that so many highly trained professionals can’t see it happening.
And this blindness isn’t limited to medicine. You’ve probably seen it yourself.
Think about a conversation where you carefully laid out a mountain of evidence showing why the other person was wrong.
The facts were clear. The evidence was overwhelming. And yet, they still wouldn’t budge.
Here’s why. 🧵

Most people believe they see reality clearly.
But they don’t.
They see a version of reality filtered by fear, incentives, experience, group identity, and information overload. Once those filters lock in, even overwhelming evidence can pass right through without registering.
That breakdown in perception explains why society keeps walking straight into disasters it can’t seem to recognize until it’s too late.

History shows a strange and uncomfortable pattern.
Two groups can look at the same facts, reach opposite conclusions, and both be absolutely convinced the other side is delusional. When that happens, at least one group, sometimes even both, is failing to perceive something critical.
Not because the evidence isn’t there, but because their mind is no longer capable of seeing it.
