🚨 A new poll from Zenith Research — on behalf of Common Defense, fielded from 6/11-14 among n=602 likely general election voters in Michigan — finds Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in a strong position in a matchup against Republican Mike Rogers.

In addition to having a higher vote share vs. Rogers than McMorrow or Stevens, El-Sayed brings unique coalitional advantages to the general election — and Stevens brings unique vulnerabilities.

🧵Image
The difference between El-Sayed and Stevens’ vote shares — 45% and 43%, respectively — appears to be due to Stevens’ relative unpopularity among voters who self-identify as “very progressive or liberal.”

31% of progressive/liberal voters hold a “strongly unfavorable” view of Stevens, with several saying they would stay home or vote third party if she was the Democratic nominee — including some citing her ties to AIPAC as the driving cause, which coincides with AIPAC taking a more active role in the campaign in recent weeks.

26% of very progressive/liberal voters say they would be undecided if Stevens was the nominee (4% of these voters say they would be undecided if El-Sayed was the nominee).
In matchups against Rogers, El-Sayed outperforms McMorrow & Stevens among very progressive/liberal voters, voters ages 18-29, renters & those who say they are more of a supporter of progressive causes/the progressive movement than the Democratic Party.

El-Sayed & McMorrow both outperform Stevens in “college counties” (Washtenaw, Ingham & Kalamazoo — home to UMich, Michigan State & WMU, respectively) and among independents.

McMorrow outperforms El-Sayed & Stevens among those who say healthcare is one of the two most important issues to their vote.

Stevens outperforms El-Sayed & McMorrow among Black voters and those who say they are more of a supporter of the Democratic Party than progressive causes/the progressive movement.Image

If you can pass a cardiac workup, a clear chest scan, and a standard blood panel, and still lose your breath crossing a parking lot, the problem is almost never in the organs those tests check.
2/7 In the patients we evaluate with low exercise tolerance, the same pattern shows up far more often than chance.

Large arteries fine. Oxygen saturation reads normal on the finger. And yet oxygen is not reaching the tissue needing it.
3/7 The gap sits in the smallest vessels, the capillaries so narrow that red cells pass single file.

After COVID, the lining of those vessels can stay inflamed and sticky. Tiny clots too small for most routine scans crowd the spaces where oxygen crosses into muscle.

⭕️🧵WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE US AND ISRAEL? A new axis of evil has just formed before our eyes: Iran, Qatar, Pakistan, and Turkey. Shockingly, Trump now fully supports them and considers them allies. Israel's security concerns are no longer a priority for Trump; he cares little for Israel. Let’s examine the fronts Israel is fighting on, along with my predictions for each:
📌 Iran: Israel will return to covert warfare, fighting the regime from within and continuing to damage its terror infrastructure, eliminating key IRGC figures, and seeking to destabilize the leadership. The Mossad will assume a leading role, operating beyond the use of IDF jets.
📌 Lebanon: Israel will accelerate the destruction of all terrorist infrastructure and villages along the Israeli border to prevent Hezbollah from reestablishing positions and launching another 10/7-style attack. Trump will force Israel to withdraw in order to preserve his surrender deal with Iran. Israel, however, will strike in Lebanon on its own terms after any withdrawal.

Closing the decade of the 60's, CCR do an European tour for the first time. The outcome was epic, in line with earlier, similar experiences with Dylan, Hendrix, The Byrds, and the Grateful Dead soon to follow in 1972. A awakening for European audiences.
The Royal Albert Hall performances on April 14 and 15, 1970, are of historic proportions. No special effects, just instruments, amplifiers and John Fogerty playing and singing non-stop, literally in front of the audience.

Thread 🧵
Every time the public was misled about the India FTA

1/10
National's own 'misinformation' post is ironically laden with misinformation:

"Total number are capped..."
This claim completely ignores uncapped student and 'Specialist' visas.

"Doctors" have no visa pathway in the India FTA but Yoga Instructors do.

"Does not grant automatic for family members to enter"
False. Annex 8K Section F explicitly states: "New Zealand shall allow the entry and temporary stay of the partner and any dependent children."

"The FTA [is not about] importing labour from India"
False. Annex 8K creates uncapped pathways for executives, managers, and specialists with no labour market test. Annex 8F uncaps students with locked-in work rights. India's own government called it "unprecedented mobility pathways for Indian students and professionals."Image
2/10
McClay: But it also does not restrict future governments from creating a cap should they wish to.

FTA text: Annex 8F uncapped students.

When pressed by the Herald who secretly obtained a copy of the text, he finally conceded the agreement would prohibit New Zealand from imposing a cap on Indian student visa numbers specifically.Image
3/10
Luxon doubles down "The agreement doesn't restrict us from making any decisions." Asked again: "No." Herald: "The text of the agreement says the opposite." Image

The SILENT KILLER Hiding in Your “Healthy” Foods: MALTODEXTRIN Spikes Blood Sugar Worse Than Sugar.

Glycemic Index:
• Sugar: 65
• High Fructose Corn Syrup: 87
• Glucose: 100
• Maltodextrin: 136 🔥

It’s a heavily processed carb (from GMO corn, rice, wheat, potato or tapioca starch) that spikes your blood sugar and insulin harder than sugar — but food companies don’t have to list it as “sugar” or “added sugar” on labels.

It hides under names like:
• Maltodextrin
• Modified Food Starch
• Modified Corn Starch
• “Natural Flavors”

You’ll find it in artificial sweeteners, yogurt, cereals, baked goods, nutrition bars, shakes, sauces, condiments, chips, snacks, low-fat products, supplements and even “sugar-free” items.

This stuff destroys the protective lining in your intestines, triggers leaky gut, systemic inflammation, and has been linked to:
• Altered gut bacteria
• IBD / Crohn’s / Ulcerative Colitis
• Diabetes & insulin resistance
• Hormonal imbalance
• Weight gain
• GI distress

Front-of-pack “healthy” claims are lying to you.

Always flip the package and read the FULL ingredients list.

Your body is NOT a trash can. Who else is done being poisoned by hidden fillers?Image

TO THE PAPACY AT ROME (1520) 🧵 Image
tldr:
1. The Papacy debate is a massive distraction.
2. The Papacy is not necessary for salvation.
3. A human being cannot possibly rule the spiritual Church.
4. Christ gave equal authority to all apostles.
5. The true marks of the church are the Word and Sacraments.
Firstly, Dr Luther begins by noting the gymnastics Rome uses to defend the papacy. He writes: Image

I used to think my Tahajjud was unanswered… until I learned this (a lot of people feel this too)
A lot of people think their Tahajjud isn’t working.

I used to think the same.

Same prayers. Same tears. Same requests. And yet, nothing in my life looked different.

So I started believing my du’a was just not being accepted.

But I didn’t understand something important.
Not every answer looks like a change in situation.

Sometimes the answer is a change in you first.

I didn’t notice it at the time…

But while I was asking Allah to fix my life,

He was quietly fixing how I was handling it.

A 1ª Turma do STF condenou Eduardo Bolsonaro (por unanimidade) a 4 anos e 2 meses de prisão pelo crime de coação no curso do processo (art. 344 do CP).

Veja quais foram os principais problemas jurídicos na condenação de Eduardo Bolsonaro por Moraes.

Siga o fio. Image
O motivo: ele teria articulado, nos EUA, sanções, tarifas e aplicação da Lei Magnitsky contra autoridades brasileiras (incluindo Moraes) para pressionar nos processos do pai.

Aqui vão os principais erros e problemas jurídicos apontados pela defesa e críticos:
1. Impedimento do relator (violação ao devido processo legal):

Moraes foi o relator e se declara vítima das supostas coações (foi alvo das sanções pedidas por Eduardo).

Princípio básico: “Ninguém pode ser juiz em causa própria” (art. 254 do CPP e garantias constitucionais).

Honestly has any president done more to enable the rise of Eurasian Communism than Trump? It’s like Hoover helping establish the basis of the Russian & Chinese revolutions. It’s like Nixon giving Mao & Deng the keys to the next century.
Is this the exoteric platform of Trump? Was this his stated goal? No. But isn’t that funnier? Nixon was trying to destroy the USSR & ended up building Communist China. Hoover was fighting the British Empire for American interests. Funny.
The Democrats will, believe me, be running a platform that says “Trump did too much for Iran. Trump betrayed our greatest ally, Israel. Trump is too sycophantic to Xi Jinping & Putin.”

P*rn is modern-day zina. And zina doesn’t just dirty your eyes... it destroys your barakah.

These du‘as can help protect you from zina and p*rn, in sha Allah
Du‘a for protection from evil of self

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي

Allahumma inni a‘udhu bika min sharri nafsi

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own self.
اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْ قَلْبِي، وَحَصِّنْ فَرْجِي، وَاغْفِرْ ذَنْبِي

Allahumma tahhir qalbi, wa hassin farji, waghfir dhanbi

O Allah, purify my heart, protect my private parts, and forgive my sins.

Transaction Volumes (Money Flow)
DTCC processes enormous volumes through its clearing and settlement services:
Annual total value processed: Around $4.7 quadrillion (i.e., $4,700 trillion) in securities transactions for 2025 (latest full-year figures). This has grown over time (e.g., ~$3.7–3.8 quadrillion in 2024).
Daily averages: Vary by service but are massive.
NSCC: Often ~$2–3+ trillion daily average value (with peaks much higher).
FICC (Treasuries/Government Securities): Frequently $10–13+ trillion daily, with records exceeding $13 trillion on peak days.
Overall DTC/NSCC equities and other settlements contribute significantly to the quadrillion-scale annual totals.
These figures represent the gross value of transactions processed (before netting, which reduces actual money/securities that need to move). Netting dramatically lowers the final settlement amounts. Volumes fluctuate with market activity, volatility, and events like T+1 settlement shifts. Note: "DTTC" in the query is almost certainly a reference to DTCC (or its DTC subsidiary), as there's no major entity called DTTC in this context (Taiwan has a separate TDCC, unrelated here).
Ripple Protocol / XRPLedger Integration
Ripple (via its Ripple Prime entity, formerly Hidden Road after a ~$1.25B acquisition) has integrated into DTCC's infrastructure:
Ripple Prime was added to the NSCC participant directory effective March 2, 2026, with clearing broker code 0443 and executing broker alpha HRFI. This enables institutional post-trade flows (especially OTC) to route through DTCC systems.
This is part of broader DTCC tokenization efforts (patents in 2025 referencing XRPL/XRP as bridge liquidity, SEC no-action letter, working group participation in 2026).
Limited production/pilot tokenized trades: Targeted for July 2026.
Full production/launch: Expected around October 2026.
The integration positions Ripple Prime inside the NSCC/DTCC pipeline (as shown in the image) for tokenized securities, with potential for XRPL to handle certain settlement/liquidity aspects for institutional flows. It does not mean the entire DTCC switches to XRPL — it's more about bridging TradFi post-trade with blockchain rails via Ripple Prime. For the absolute latest official details, check DTCC's site (dtcc.com) or their annual reports, as volumes and timelines can evolve with market conditions. The image you shared aligns directly with this Ripple Prime → NSCC → DTC flow.Image

Seven Things This 63 Year Old Surgeon Would Tell My 40-Year-Old Self

I am 63 now, and I spend my days as an orthopedic surgeon watching how people's earlier choices show up in their bodies decades later. I see it in my college friends, high school buddies, and patients that I have known for 20+ years. If I could sit across from myself at 40, here is what I would want that man to understand. None of what follows is complicated, and all of it compounds over the decades… either against you… or in your favor. You are largely in control.
1. Your health is the foundation, not the reward. Most of us treat fitness, sleep, and strength as things we will get to once the real work is settled. The problem is that health is the one asset you cannot easily buy back later at any price. You can rebuild a career, recover from a bad investment, and repair most mistakes given enough time. The capacity you let slide in your forties and fifties is far harder to reclaim, and some of it does not come back at all. Invest in it now.
2. Strength buys you freedom later. Muscle, balance, and aerobic capacity are not about how you look in a mirror at 40. They are about whether you can carry your own groceries, get up off the floor, and stay independent at 80. I see the people who built that capacity early, and I see the ones who did not, and the difference decades later is enormous. The strength you build now is the freedom you are banking for your future self.

#NoJusticeForBhopalVictims
Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's government facilitated Union Carbide CEO Warren Anderson's 1984 exit from India.

Anderson was flown out on a Madhya Pradesh government aircraft to New Delhi following oral orders from higher-ups.
This exit is widely alleged to be a quid pro quo for the release of Adil Shahryar from a US prison.

Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Arjun Singh mentioned in his autobiography that he was instructed to arrange for Anderson's safe departure,
while other officials like then Foreign Secretary M.K. Rasgotra corroborated that the government had sanctioned the exit.

The Bhopal gas tragedy resulted in an estimated 15,000 to 22,000+ total deaths.

Alrighty, everything is ready 😎

here’s an unofficial “2x Codex limits” promo from my side for you all.

meet DevSpace — an MCP connector app that turns ChatGPT into Codex.

npm install -g @waishnav/devspace

After installing, tunnel the MCP server over the internet and enjoy 2x limits.

You can use GPT-5.5 Pro, xHigh, or High for planning, then hand off the task to your local Codex/pi/opencode/cursor/claude code instance.

Or you can just use it for reviewing code written by other local coding agents

Go ahead, experiment with different workflows, and keep the feedback coming on GitHub Issues or in my DMs

And let’s thank OpenAI for being so generous by giving us separate ChatGPT and Codex limits and by being so chill around this MCP :)

Please use it sparingly, only when you run out of limits. Don’t overuse it — in the end, they do have a button to stop it 🙂
here is the GitHub repo where you can contribute and raise the issue

github.com/Waishnav/devsp…
going to bed now, lets see this can reach 5 millions codex users :)
