We finally have a government protecting US companies like Rumble and freedom of expression.
Two years ago, I never thought we’d see a day like this, but I’m forever grateful we are here.
Thank you @SecScottBessent and @realDonaldTrump for your leadership on American values.
Today, @USTreasury is sanctioning Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who has used his position to authorize arbitrary pre-trial detentions and suppress freedom of expression.
Alexandre de Moraes is responsible for an oppressive campaign of censorship, arbitrary detentions that violate human rights, and politicized prosecutions—including against former President Jair Bolsonaro.
Treasury will continue to hold accountable those who threaten U.S. interests and those who impose limits on our freedoms.
We’ve just reached 5 million followers worldwide on X, a significant milestone especially considering the attempted censorship by the Lula government, which is now asking for China's support to silence millions of brazilians. Freedom of speech is a right, not a privilege.
🚨URGENTE - Dr Sebastião Coelho afirma que já está comprovado que a entrada de Filipe Martins nos EUA foi uma fraude e já sabem quem a cometeu
“O que estão apurando agora é o porquê da fraude, a pedido de quem ou a mando de quem.”
🇺🇸🇧🇷 TRUMP TEAM TARGETS BRAZILIAN JUDGES’ WALLETS... A.K.A. THEIR WIVES?!
Targeting Supreme Court justices may not be enough—Team Trump is going after their wives.
The logic? Many justices’ household incomes come from their wives’ law firms, creating a pressure point with financial sanctions.
That includes the wife of Alexandre de Moraes and others like Valeska Zanin Martins, a powerhouse attorney with thousands of court appearances.
If the justices ever thought they were untouchable, they better think again.
The board is about to be flipped.

🇺🇲 🇧🇷 | Trump's number one priority for Brazil is to return Lula to prison. Main reason: involvement with Iran (the episode of the Iranian ship docked in Brazil is on Trump's desk).
🇧🇷 | BRAZIL: Wonderful country, with 216 million inhabitants, a country of intelligent, strong and resilient people, leader in banking and tax technology, among the largest economies in the world, is governed by an ex-convict, drunk and lunatic, who was convicted of corruption.
The young Brazilian Member of Parliament @nikolas_dm has broken records after his video criticizing President Lula got 300+ million views across platforms in less than 24h.
Lula is trying to squeeze poor hard-working Brazilians on more money 🇧🇷

Anyone – of any race, creed or nationality – who came to America and worked like hell to contribute to this country will forever have my respect.
America is the land of freedom and opportunity. Fight with every fiber of your being to keep it that way!

The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH:
Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG.
A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.
A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers.
(Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates).
More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.”
Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve.
Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest.
“Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China.
This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.
That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
