WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: Trump Administration Puts Real Food First in Dietary Guidelines

https://t.co/Pfih2Oltm8

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

I will always tell the American people the truth.

Pesticides and herbicides are toxic by design, engineered to kill living organisms. When we apply them across millions of acres and allow them into our food system, we put Americans at risk. Chemical manufacturers have paid tens of billions of dollars to settle cancer claims linked to their products, and many agricultural communities report elevated cancer rates and chronic disease.

Unfortunately, our agricultural system depends heavily on these chemicals. The U.S. represents 4% of the world’s population, yet we use roughly 25% of its pesticides. If these inputs disappeared overnight, crop yields would fall, food prices would surge, and America would experience a massive loss of farms even beyond what we are witnessing today. The consequences would be disastrous.

I support President Trump’s Executive Order to bring agricultural chemical production back to the United States and end our near-total reliance on adversarial nations. His EO protects two pillars of national strength: our defense readiness and our food supply. When hostile actors control critical inputs, they directly threaten the security of the American people. The Trump administration will secure these supply chains to eliminate that vulnerability.

President Trump did not build our current system — he inherited it. For decades, Washington designed modern agriculture. Policymakers wrote farm policy, directed research dollars, structured subsidies and crop insurance, and shaped commodity markets to reward monocultures and maximum yield. Those deliberate choices locked farmers into chemical dependence and prioritized short-term output over long-term soil vitality and human health.

We are now changing course — without destabilizing the food supply.

Alongside @USDA @SecRollins, we are accelerating the transition to regenerative agriculture by expanding farming systems that rebuild soil, increase biodiversity, improve water retention, and reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals, including pre-harvest desiccation.

We are also driving the rapid adoption of next-generation technologies, including laser-guided weed control, electrothermal and electrical systems, robotics, precision mechanical cultivation, and biological controls that replace blanket spraying with precision intervention.

These solutions are not theoretical. Farmers are already putting them to work. Markets are scaling them. Now the federal government will act with urgency to expand their reach and accelerate adoption nationwide.

I have met with hundreds of farmers and agricultural leaders across the country. They understand the pressures firsthand. Chemical inputs cut into margins. Chemical-resistant pests are spreading. Soil health is declining. Foreign markets are shutting out American produce. Farmers want workable alternatives, and they want policies that support transition without threatening their livelihoods.

At HHS, I am leading a coordinated effort grounded in gold standard science. I am working with Secretary Rollins and @EPALeeZeldin to expedite a better future where a thriving agricultural system is less dependent on harmful chemicals. We are sharing data, coordinating strategy, and supporting farmers through a practical transition.

The Make America Healthy Again agenda forces us to challenge long-standing assumptions about how we grow food, structure markets, and measure success in this country. Reform at this scale will test entrenched interests, and it will not move in a straight line.

President Trump has opened the door to this debate and backed meaningful change — not only in policy, but in the national conversation about health and agriculture.

American farmers stand at the center of this movement. They deserve policies rooted in rigorous science and economic reality. Our children deserve a food system that protects and strengthens their health.

With President Trump’s leadership, we are securing critical supply chains, confronting the health risks embedded in our current system, and deploying every available tool to build a stronger, safer, more resilient American food supply.

Someone betted $44,100 into $META 610C 0DTE the minute before the news came out

They are now up 6000-9000%+ at the moment

They turned $44,100 into $4M in just 30 minutes

Not a coincidence?

[FXHedge @Fxhedgers]

🚨 Is this the beginning of a repeat of Lehman Bros 2008?

UBS just halted withdrawals of a $469 million real estate fund and told investors they can't have their money back for up to 3 years.

Why does this matter? Back in June of 2007, Bear Stearns did the same thing at two of their hedge funds. One year later, Lehman Brothers collapsed and the global financial crisis happened.

UBS looked at their real estate portfolio, realized the buildings are not worth what they paid for them and they cannot sell them without admitting HUGE losses.

Commercial real estate office vacancies are at record highs. Buildings are worth a fraction of what they were. Everyone has been trying to avoid marking their portfolios down to actual current value. But they cannot ignore it any longer.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Iran is now releasing cartoons that Trump can understand. 😂🤣👇

[10Δ @_10delta_]

3 weeks ago I argued the US goal in Iran is to seize the global oil spigot. Venezuela in January -> Iran in February.

Neutralize every supply channel outside the dollar system within 90 days. Achieve a compliant successor government and complete energy dominance.

The oil thesis was the obvious layer. However, when you zoom out & view the last four years as a single sequence rather than isolated geopolitical events, the architecture of the grander US plan becomes visible.

1st was Europe, which laid the groundwork.

The Ukraine conflict provided the justification for sanctions that collapsed Russian pipeline gas from 150 billion cubic meters to 40.

Then Nordstream was destroyed, which rewired the entire European energy system permanently. The US went from supplying 28% of Europe's LNG in 2021 to 58% by 2025, exporting a record 111 million MTs, the 1st country in history to break 100 MT.

Europe was transformed from a customer with options into a captive market now purchasing its survival in USD.

2nd was Syria.

The fall of Assad severed the critical node connecting China's Belt & Road Initiative to the Mediterranean.

The trilateral railway linking Iran, Iraq & Syria, designed to bypass Western maritime chokepoints, was completely destroyed.

This isolated Iran geographically & cleared the path for what came next.

3rd was Venezuela.

In January the US effectively took control of the world's largest heavy crude reserves. The US Gulf Coast has the most advanced refining complex on earth, specifically built for heavy sour crude. Phillips 66, Valero & the rest are now positioned to process hundreds of thousands of barrels of Venezuelan crude daily.

The US captured a massive strategic reserve & solidified its position as the dominant exporter of refined petroleum products, an industry worth $110 billion in 2025 alone.

Venezuela & Iran were the two major oil supply channels that existed outside the dollar system. Both produce heavy crude sold primarily to China & evaded US financial supervision. Both now being neutralized within 90 days, which leads us to..

4th is Iran & the Middle East energy shock.

Israel struck Iran's South Pars gas field, the world's largest natural gas reservoir. Iran retaliated against Qatar's Ras Laffan, the single largest LNG facility on earth, responsible for a fifth of global supply. QatarEnergy's own assessment is that 17% of export capacity is gone and recovery will take up to 5 years. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. European gas prices spiked 70%. Asian spot prices doubled.

The only remaining scaled supplier? The United States.

If Iran falls & a successor government is installed that the US controls or influences (the Delcy model described weeks ago) then roughly 40 to 45 million barrels per day of global production out of 103 million is effectively under US control. OPEC becomes irrelevant because the US coalition is now the marginal producer. Now add the gas dimension & it goes beyond oil.

This war is solidifying the petrodollar system as it evolves into a hybrid petro/LNG-dollar. The old system was built on Saudi crude priced in USD. The new system is built on American crude plus American gas from the Gulf Coast, with no alternative supplier of comparable scale. The dependency is deeper because LNG infrastructure requires long term contracts & regasification terminals that lock buyers into supply relationships for decades. Europe & the Pacific allies (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc.) cannot pivot away as there is nowhere left to pivot to. They're now locked into the US energy system.

The market confirms this. DXY went from 96 to 101. Gold down ~20% from its January all time high. Bitcoin down 20% on the year. Brent above $100. European & Asian institutions are liquidating precious metals and crypto to buy dollars because they need dollars to buy the only remaining scaled energy supply. The world is selling its gold to buy American energy in American currency. The dollar is now being weaponized through energy dependency.

The structural repricing is happening regardless of how the conflict resolves.

But the US grand strategy goes deeper..

Artificial intelligence is a physical industry. It runs on power and chips. Data centers require massive uninterrupted baseload electricity, primarily provided by natural gas. Semiconductor fabrication requires helium & rare earths.

By choking the Strait of Hormuz & crippling Middle Eastern LNG & helium production, the US is systematically degrading China's ability to power its data centers & fabricate semiconductors at scale.

The US is energy self sufficient, especially with newly captured Venezuelan reserves & expanding Gulf Coast capacity running on domestic gas.

On the other hand, China is import dependent & every joule it imports effectively now transits chokepoints the US Navy controls..

Iran was the Belt & Road's overland energy bypass, the corridor that allowed China to mitigate the Malacca Trap. With Iran neutralized that corridor is severed. China faces a world where its compute infrastructure competes for scraps on a depleted global LNG market, while American data centers run at full capacity on domestic energy.

Russia is next in the sequence. A post-war Iran reopening under US influence competes directly with Russia for the same refineries in China & India at lower cost. Iran's production costs are lower. Russia loses its last structural advantage in heavy crude & its economic lifeline. Additionally, under the Iran war cover, Ukraine has been opportunistically destroying Russian energy infrastructure & all signs point towards Russia being at the end of the line. The message from Washington becomes very simple: we dismantled two regimes in three months, your economy is about to get crushed, sign the Ukraine deal.

Then Trump sits down with Xi holding every card. Complete energy dominance. The hybrid petro/LNG-dollar fortified, Iran cleared, Russia cornered, & China facing the Malacca Trap fully closed with no remaining energy bypass.

Israel & the GCC are absorbing the kinetic cost of a conflict whose primary beneficiary, counter to the mainstream narrative, is actually America (First). Qatar offline for 5 years reprices the entire global gas market in favor of US exporters for the remainder of the decade. The Gulf states face years of rebuilding. Europe faces its 2nd energy crisis in four years.

Sure, the average American might face temporary moderate inflation & higher gas prices. But if you are the architect of the US empire & you view the rise of China & Chinese ASI as an existential winner takes all scenario, the collateral damage is acceptable cost.

Whoever controls the energy corridors controls the monetary system. Whoever controls the monetary system & the energy supply simultaneously controls the compute infrastructure that determines which civilization builds ASI first.

The US is seizing all 3.

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

5 minutes before Trump’s announcement:

* $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip.

* $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold.

More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close.

Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!

[The Factor Report @PeterLBrandt]

I've traded futures markets for five decades. There is ZERO doubt in my mind that Trump money was behind this buying.

There is NOOOOO law that prevents the Trump machine from manipulating futures markets. Inside trading is legal

Trump family fortune grew today. Trump is playing markets like a fiddle

[QANDY @QANDYai]

Five minutes before. Not five hours. Not five days. Five MINUTES. Whoever placed this trade knew the exact content of the announcement before it was made public. This isnt even clever insider trading at this point, its just openly front running presidential statements. In any functioning regulatory system this would result in handcuffs. In this one it results in a Forbes interview about "market intuition." Welcome to 2026.

[Ammanichanda @Arkasiraee]

Let me explain educate you all what just happened,

5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran…

Someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.5 minutes.

These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the market at that time.

Whoever did this wasn’t guessing.

You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.

There was zero public indication this announcement was coming.

No leaks.

No press.

Nothing.

The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.

Someone in that room picked up a phone.

And within minutes, they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes.

In a single trade.

On a war that cost you $4+ gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.

American citizens funded this war. Politicians are positioned to profit from it.

This is not the first time.

Major announcements have repeatedly been preceded by suspicious market moves tariff reversals, policy shifts, war decisions.

This may be one of the most blatant examples of potential insider advantage in modern American politics.

You would go to prison for trading on a tip from your cousin.

Yet billion-dollar trades happen minutes before decisions like this and no one asks questions.Nobody gets investigated.

Nobody gets charged.

By tomorrow, this will be buried under the next headline.

Just like last time.

And the time before that.

The game is rigged. The insiders pull the strings and win over and over.

And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market.

In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold.

These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time.

The trader seemingly made huge gains.

Unusual.

SAY HER NAME: Harlow Smith

Harlow was K*LLED in a horrific attack reportedly carried out by Alexander Lamar Banks Jr.

Authorities say Banks ran down Harlow and her parents with his car, hitting them before getting out and shooting them with a shotgun.

Paige and Cameron Smith, her parents, are currently hospitalized following the attack.

This should be national news.
