Breaking: The Trump-aligned FCC is planning to file paperwork as early as this afternoon that will challenge Disney's eight licenses for its eight ABC stations. This early-renewal move will be a major escalation by @BrendanCarrFCC. cnn.it/41XdjH1
@BrendanCarrFCC The FCC is preparing to "call in all of the TV station licenses for Disney/ABC for early renewal," a source familiar with the matter said, confirming Semafor's scoop from earlier this morning. It will be viewed as government retaliation for keeping Kimmel's show on the air.
In the United States — the country with the highest drug prices and overall health care spending among developed nations — Tiffany Ferguson fears her insurance company will stop paying for her cancer treatment. icij.org/investigations…
Ferguson, 42, was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in January 2019. “My doctor showed me the scan and said, ‘This isn’t good. You either have tuberculosis or cancer,’ ” Ferguson recalled. “I remember praying to God that it was tuberculosis.”
Years of treatments — including chemotherapy, a stem-cell transplant and targeted IV therapy — held the tumors back, but they returned in 2021.
In March 2022, her doctor switched her to Keytruda, Merck & Co.’s blockbuster immunotherapy drug. icij.org/investigations…

My takeaway from the #CorrespondentsDinner?
Trump wants a bunker. FAST.
Why?
It might take 4 years to complete.
But i'm betting a small hardened portion... big enough for family & friends?
Fast-Track City.

Who's been telling you for several months now that the 'Grand Conspiracy' investigation - going public now with the admission of the grand juries in Ft. Pierce, FL - involves:
1. Uranium One
2. The Clinton email scandal/server
3. The DNC email scandal/server scandal and the murder of Seth Rich
4. The fake Crowdstrike report to blame Russia
5. The manufacture of the RussiaGate hoaxes
6. The hoax-based criminal/counterintelligence investigations of Trump as candidate, then President
7. The hoax-based Ukraine impeachment
8. The launch of the COVID Plandemic to get them to the 20 million fake mail-in ballots
9. The fake mail-in ballot scheme and other election fraud shenanigans in 2020
10. The massively coordinated censorship campaigns to prevent discussion of the COVID Plandemic, the Hunter laptop, the stolen election, J6, etc.
11. The massively coordinated targeting of Trump and J6 people for sustained illegally predicated lawfare and prosecution/imprisonment
12. Several assassination attempts.
13. The autopen fake Presidency of Joe Biden - or whoever that was - complete with fake pardons and fake appointments/executive actions
14. The massively coordinated assault on the country by completely opening the border
15. Raiding Trump's home to seize declassified documents after claiming they'd been 'reclassified'
I could keep going but I'll stop there.
The scope of it.
When you realize most of the key players running the 'Grand Conspiracy' are not American.
They don't live here.
Many of these elements of the Grand Conspiracy are therefore Acts of War.
Any American willingly taking money to carry out the different elements of the Grand Conspiracy against their fellow citizens and country are therefore engaging in treason and acts of treason.
This may start with federal grand juries, but it won't stay there.

If you'd forced some of the top foreign players to bend the knee and make peace, without openly declaring much of this, how would you sign the peace treaty between City of London and the newly independent, free, and sovereign nation of the United States of America?
After one year of a SILENT WAR where many people only slowly woke up to the realization of whom Trump & his team have been really fighting for the past 15 months.
On energy. On human trafficking. On drugs. On monetary policy.
Keep watching what's going on at the White House.
Trump has forced them to do a deal to avoid further exposure.
We were never going to get any of the City of London royals extradited for trials here, anyway.
Better to force a surrender and a treaty signing.
Which is what I believe you're watching right now.
They have to sign to survive to get the energy turned back on.
However, that's just the City of London enemies forced to their knees and to a deal.
I guarantee you all their American assets and operatives are watching this event at the White House in terror.
The City of London cannot protect them.
The assets who committed treason against their own country and enriched themselves by doing so don't need to be extradited here.
The trick with the American traitors is making sure they don't leave the country until everything is ready to roll them up.

Food AI is about to have its ChatGPT moment.
Our first paper is now on arXiv: Epicure.
For decades, food has been treated as too human, too sensory, too cultural, and too computationally intensive to model properly.
We broke that assumption. 🧵

Beatrice was once a powerhouse.
A massive food conglomerate built over decades.
But by the 1980s, it had become bloated, unfocused, and poorly managed.
Stock was lagging and costs were out of control.

People can say: Oh No, look at the Essentials Benefit to help lower income people hurt by inflation. Look at the reduced taxes for lower income people
None of that really helps Working Poor or Middle Class Families because Inflation still runs HOT & is about to get hotter

And Wages in Canada have been suppressed for a decade
No one argues about Wage Stagnation anymore it's just accepted fact
There 2 things Middle Class Canadians need:
- Lower Taxes
- Higher Paying Jobs
And despite some bandaid policies those 2 things ain't happening

The Qur'an says: "And of everything We created in pairs." (51:49)
Then why are some people still single, divorced, or mismatched?
Then why are some people still single, divorced, or mismatched?
People often read the ayah "And of everything We created pairs" (51:49) and immediately connect it to marriage.
But this verse isn't talking about romance or soulmates.
It's talking about the balance Allah placed in creation opposites, contrasts, and purpose in every detail.

If it meant everyone is guaranteed a perfect spouse in this dunya...
then why do some people remain single?
Why do marriages break?
Why do good hearts end up with people who don't understand them?

(🧵1/10) With renewed attention on my recent @NewYorker reporting about Sam Altman and OpenAI, it's worth revisiting a piece I wrote for the magazine about another tech billionaire who has accumulated unusual leverage over the US government—and whose hand many readers have lately seen at work in their feeds.
For that story, I spent months interviewing more than thirty of Elon Musk's current and former colleagues, along with current and former officials at NASA, the Department of Defense, the FAA, the Department of Transportation, and OSHA. Many of their observations have only grown more relevant since.

(2/10) In 2022, SpaceX gave the Pentagon an ultimatum: pay roughly $400 million a year for Starlink service in Ukraine—crucial infrastructure the country's military was relying on for battlefield communication—or it would be cut off.
Colin Kahl, then Under-Secretary of Defense for Policy, called Elon Musk and pleaded with for more time. Officials told me lives hung in the balance. But they had to be deferential. "Even though Musk is not technically a diplomat or statesman, I felt it was important to treat him as such, given the influence he had on this issue," Kahl told me. A Pentagon official described the dynamic more bluntly: "We are living off his good graces. That sucks."

A Pentagon official described the dynamic more bluntly: "We are living off his good graces. That sucks."
(3/10) The stakes were not theoretical. Ukrainian forces advancing into contested territory in the south found their Starlink connections suddenly severed—American and Ukrainian officials told me they believed SpaceX had cut access via geofencing.
"Communications became dead, units were isolated," a signal-corps soldier told me. "Commanders had to drive to the battlefield to be in radio range, risking themselves. It was chaos." (A @Reuters investigation last year by @joroulette, @CassellBryanLow and @BalmforthTom also found that Musk personally ordered a Starlink shutdown during a Ukrainian counteroffensive.)
On the call with Kahl, Musk volunteered that he had spoken with Putin personally. (Musk later denied discussing Ukraine with Putin.) Weeks earlier, at a conference in Aspen, Musk had appeared onstage to suggest the U.S. should negotiate peace with Putin. Reid Hoffman, who helped start PayPal with Musk, told me Musk seemed to have "bought what Putin was selling, hook, line, and sinker."
