#BREAKING: Psaki: “…I have to start tonight with a story that in any other administration, would be grounds for opening an impeachment inquiry, because today ProPublica reported that the White House intervened to get a $620 million deal for a company tied to President Trump’s adult son @DonaldJTrumpJr…the deal in question involved a startup focused on rare earth magnet production called Vulcan Elements and last Summer, Don Jr’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in that company, and wouldn’t you know…three months later, the Pentagon announced that it was giving Vulcan Elements a $620 million loan.”🙄🤦‍♀️

@stengel @ctovani Drumph is really “cleaning the swamp.” And yet, the Democratic Party Inc. will merely soften what the rigged courts, the gerrymandered congress, the purged and politicized executive branch has already locked in. Where’s the critique of the state. Dems better purge & pack courts.

George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. https://t.co/yDqVXWfDgc

الممثلة اليهودية الشهيرة ميريام مارغوليس: لقد انتصر هتلر، لقد حولتنا نحن اليهود إلى قوميين وحشيين مجرمين يقتلون النساء والأطفال. أنا في الثالثة والثمانين من عمري، ولم أشعر يومًا بالخزي من إسرائيل كما أشعر الآن. ما نفعله نحن الشعب اليهودي في إسرائيل هو أمر صادم، ومخزٍ، وشرير.

This is a HUGE problem.

Take 82 seconds to see the unearthed memos showing how John Roberts went from crusading against “activist” judges…

…to becoming one of the most aggressive activist judges in American history — in order to defend corporations and billionaires.

US Representative Melanie Stansbury exposes the massive Epstein coverup on MS Now. She confirms Ghislaine Maxwell is actively blackmailing Donald Trump for a pardon because she has direct dirt on his deep involvement in the trafficking ring. The corruption is staggering.

Washington Post Intelligence Analyst Josh Rogin exposes a massive insider trading scandal on CNN. He reveals someone shorted the oil market by hundreds of millions just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement. The Trump administration is prioritizing self-dealing over peace.

This is Amy Eskridge.

She is one of the 11 scientists who has died/disappeared recently that’s linked to high government research and secrets.

Amy researched anti-gravity and in this clip reveals anti-gravity was already discovered 4 times, but each time the government suppressed it. She then reveals she was close to discovering it, but was threatened that she would be killed if she published it.

She was found dead shortly after this 2022 interview. It was ruled a “suicide” but no investigation details were made public and British intelligence officer Franc Milburn testified before Congress in 2023 that her death was not a suicide. She also said this a few months before her death: “If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not.”

What is going on? Is our own government murdering scientists whose research and discoveries (i.e. free energy) threaten the profits of corporations and billionaires?

The media moved on like nothing happened.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Keep sharing this so it doesn’t get buried.

A MIT student figured out how to compress an entire semester of lecture content into one 90-minute study session.

He calls it "context stacking," and it's the most unfair thing I've seen done with NotebookLM.

I asked him to walk me through it. He did. I haven't studied the same way since.

Here's exactly what he does.

Two days before each lecture, he uploads everything into NotebookLM. The assigned readings, the previous week's slides, 3 or 4 related papers he finds himself, and any problem sets that are still open.

Most students wait for the lecture to explain the material. He walks in having already built a mental model of it.

That's step one. But it's not the move that makes it unfair.

The first prompt he runs across all of it:

"What are the 5 core concepts this week's content is built on, and how do they connect to what I studied last week?"

Not summarize. Not define. Connect.

NotebookLM pulls threads across everything he uploaded simultaneously. It surfaces relationships between ideas that would take a normal student weeks of review to notice. He gets that map before the lecture even starts.

Then he runs the prompt that does most of the work.

"What would I need to genuinely understand about this material to be able to teach it to someone with zero background in this subject?"

That question is doing something most students never force themselves to do. It exposes exactly where his understanding is solid and exactly where it's hollow. The gaps show up immediately, and he spends the rest of the 90 minutes filling only those gaps.

Not reviewing what he already knows. Only fixing what he doesn't.

The final prompt is the one that separates context stacking from every other study method I've heard of.

"What question could a professor ask about this material that would expose a student who understood the surface but missed the underlying logic?"

He's not studying for the exam he expects. He's studying for the exam designed to catch people who only think they understood it.

By the time he sits in the lecture hall, the professor is not teaching him anything new. The professor is confirming what he already mapped, filling in a few details, and occasionally surprising him with something he didn't anticipate.

That surprise is the only thing he writes down.

Most students leave a lecture hoping the material will eventually click.

He walks in with it already clicked, and uses the lecture to find out what he missed.

That's not a study hack. That's a completely different relationship with learning.

Sitting US Congressman Ted Lieu just said on the record:

The full Epstein files contain information that Donald Trump raped minors.

This is a member of Congress.

On camera. On the record.

The DOJ admitted withholding footage of “death, physical abuse, and injury.”

Half of 6 million documents remain sealed.

Epstein’s accountant testified the estate settled with Jane Doe 4 for both Epstein and Trump.

Jane Doe 4 alleged to the FBI that Trump abused her when she was 15.

Trump started a war the same week the names were supposed to drop.

Pam Bondi testifies under oath April 14th.

A congressman just told you why the files are sealed.

Never stop connecting the dots.
