Remember when questioning COVID’s origins made you a “conspiracy theorist?"

Fauci dismissed the lab leak theory while signing off on NIH-funded risky research at Wuhan. Renowned scientists were silenced, their careers ruined.

Today is DOJ’s last day to charge Fauci.

[Jack @Jack_thomas96]

This situation is a great example of why it’s a bad idea to let any one person become your political identity and blindly defend whatever they say. “Following the science” by blindly supporting this guy and blocking any competing ideas was a rejection of the scientific process.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

I've said it from the beginning: lying to Congress is a felony. Destroying federal records is a felony. Advising others to destroy federal records is a felony. Fauci did all three. His adviser was just indicted. Fauci is next. The deadline to prosecute Fauci is May 11. The DOJ must act now.

I know he’s got some super simple explanation for why it’s actually not hard at all to get a million people to Mars and I would like to hear that one.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: SpaceX's board has approved a new compensation package for Elon Musk ahead of its record-setting IPO.

The package includes:

1. 200 million super-voting shares if SpaceX hits a $7.5 trillion valuation and establishes a permanent Mars colony with at least 1 million people

2. Additional 60.4 million shares if SpaceX reaches certain valuation goals and operates data centers in space delivering 100 terawatts of compute

3. Elon Musk will not receive a single share if the company fails to reach the board's valuation targets

Elon Musk has received a salary from SpaceX of $54,080 per year since 2019.

“I don’t give a damn about your criticism” is the most damaging thing he’s said so far. Guys like this think being elected means they were picked to be in charge of people rather than to serve the people. The entire job is to acknowledge the criticism and adjust, not be the boss.

[E X X ➠A L E R T S @ExxAlerts]

BREAKING: Hakeem Jeffries is doubling down on his calls for Democrats to wage "maximum warfare" against President Trump.

"I stand by it. You can continue to criticize me for it. I don't give a damn about your criticism."

This comes as Polymarket shows the odds of Republicans retaining a majority in the senate are back on the rise.

[Jack @Jack_thomas96]

NAACP defending non-profit accused of funding members of the KKK may actually be the wildest thing I’ve seen in 2026.

[NAACP @NAACP]

The DOJ's indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center is a chilling attack on civil rights advocacy.

"Trump's DOJ has been weaponized by dangerous forces. Every organization and individual engaged in social justice should be alarmed. What we are seeing in real time is an administration seeking to leverage its position to target individuals and organizations that do not agree with its political thought." — NAACP President and CEO @DerrickNAACP

Stand with us. We're urging every advocate to speak out and encouraging every voter to make their voices heard loud and clear in November during the midterm elections. https://t.co/1eoEoYyYxV

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

I’m going to give him this one because it’s not his choice.

Secret Service will physically remove a cabinet level official against their will in a crisis.

Their family are the secondary detail, that either have a dedicated agent (for higher level positions) or should be supported if the primary asset is secure and they are able to support.

If RFK refuses to move, they have the literal authority to pick his ass up and move him against his will.

The Secret Service under the authority of 18 U.S.C. § 3056 have a mandatory protection requirement, that is interpreted in law as “owning the body”

In an emergency anyone under their protection, even a direct chain of command superior has no individual authority over them being secured.

[Jack @Jack_thomas96]

Dude spent all year making himself an obvious PR risk for any organization that would consider associating themselves with him. Not sure how he never recognized that.

[B/R Gridiron @brgridiron]

Diego Pavia has gone undrafted.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Even if you did not support Trumps decision to launch of war of choice against Iran (like me), restricting the use of US airbases in NATO countries imprudently damages NATO unity. Yes, Trumps threats to invade/annex NATO countries does too. But 2 wrongs don’t make a right.

[Jack @Jack_thomas96]

This feels insanely out of touch unless there's something on the horizon we don't know about yet. And I'd bet there's not aside from planning to leave NATO.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

BREAKING: Trump is reportedly planning to frame the Republican Party’s midterm message around funding for a “massive defense buildup” in hopes of energizing voters.

[Jack @Jack_thomas96]

Yep. If one of us ends up in a fight none of us consented to, we all help. We consented to this one without even giving anyone the opportunity to. Can't and shouldn't expect NATO help.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

This new Trump & team argument that NATO is failing the US by not supporting the US war of choice in Iran is ahistorical. NATO is a defensive alliance. NATO traditionally has never followed a NATO ally into wars of choice, including:

US war in Iraq.
UK war in the Falklands
France's war with Algeria
Portugal's wars in Angola/Mozambique
US war in Vietnam
Turkey's war/occupation in Cyprus

I could go on.

[Jack @Jack_thomas96]

The amount of people taking Tiger at his word about being on the phone with the president is honestly just impressive. I do hope he really did though.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Donald Trump had time to take Tiger Woods' call after he crashed his car again, but I don't see him addressing the American people after a U.S. fighter jet was shot down in Iran and there's a desperate search to find the pilots.

I guess daddy's not home today.

[Jack @Jack_thomas96]

Have we considered how much more complex manned moon missions are compared to the low orbit launches we've been watching since this kind of coverage has become popular and accessible. NASA's main objective is a successful mission not to entertain. They probably just don't care.

[Booster 10 @booster_10]

NASA should be extremely embarrassed at how much better Everyday Astronaut's coverage of the launch was compared to theirs.

[Jack @Jack_thomas96]

Partner this happened this way because that’s not a reporter he’s a political podcaster/commentator. He’s just doing this for fun.

[Paladin 🎖 @PaladinRood]

Grande parte dos americanos não acredita que o homem foi à Lua, e por isso esse tipo de questionamento direcionado ao repórter aconteceu. A galera começou a questionar se ele estava em fundo verde de estúdio e o desafiou a tocar a grama para ver se ele estava mesmo no local de decolagem da Artemis II.

Ele toca a grama para provar que estava no local do lançamento, mas observe que ele não se afasta muito para trás, o que não foi suficiente para sanar o questionamento da multidão online que não acredita em mais nada sem provas suficientes e convincentes.

A cena é o retrato da desconfiança que a NASA conquistou ao longo de todos esses anos, aliada à perda de confiança na atual administração e somada ao caso Epstein.

Tudo isso, de certa forma, contribui para esse cenário.

Na sua visão, o que levou as pessoas a fazer o repórter se levantar e tocar o chão para PROVAR que estava mesmo no local de lançamento do foguete?

[Jack @Jack_thomas96]

We’re gonna need somebody to just name drop who all specifically is putting pressure on him. Americans need to know if their representatives aren’t actually representing their interests and I got a feeling a good chunk of this is coming from members of congress.

[Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra]

Joe Kent releases a new video urging Americans to contact the White House and government officials, saying they do not support putting U.S. boots on the ground in Iran.

He says President Trump is under significant pressure.

"We do not support putting any boots on the ground in Iran."

[Jack @Jack_thomas96]

Biggest point to take away: If you think screaming at the president 24/7 is the main way to improve anything, you need to read a lot deeper into our political system. I don't say that in defense of Trump, I say that because the right intent with the wrong target goes to waste.

[Yogi @Houseofyogi]

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.

You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.

Bro.

You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.

You live in a constitutional republic.

Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.

The modern left's definition of fascism:

You love your country? Fascist.

You want to enforce the border? Racist.

You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.

You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.

Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.

But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country.

But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.

Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.

Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.

Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.

Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.

Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.

Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.

Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign.

Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.

But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.

You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours.
And Saturday they had you in the streets carrying their water.

The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.

No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.

Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.

During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.

But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression.

The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.

Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.

That's how you keep power without wearing a crown.

Biden built a censorship machine.

Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire."

They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...

Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.

And it doesn't stop at speech.

The extreme left justifies taking children from families.

Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.

The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.

Same playbook.

During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital.

But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.

$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.

January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.

Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.

Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.

CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.

75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.

Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me."

Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.

One side talks. The other side screams.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched with you Saturday.

Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. Marxism.

The system that killed a hundred million people last century. They had you holding their signs while they said it out loud.

500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were angry.

The money leads to Neville Roy Singham. Billionaire in Shanghai. Attends CCP workshops. Funnels millions through shell companies at UPS mailboxes. Three Congressional committees have subpoenaed him as a suspected CCP foreign agent.

You thought you were fighting for democracy. You were carrying water for Beijing.

"Liberals are leaving the First Amendment behind." Spoken by the ACLU lawyer who defended Nazis in court because it was their constitutional right.

Bill Clinton put 100,000 cops on the street. Reformed welfare. Said illegal immigration is wrong to a standing ovation. Told America the era of big government is over.

Today his own party would call him a fascist.

The 1990s Democrat defended free speech for Nazis. Yours censors doctors for telling the truth.

The 1990s Democrat held open primaries. Yours installed a nominee without a vote.

The 1990s Democrat trusted parents. Yours takes their children.

Historians measure fascism across eight traits. Here's who checks the boxes in 2026:

Censorship of political opposition. Democrats.

Contempt for democratic process. Democrats.

Tolerance of political violence. Democrats.

State ideology forced on families. Democrats.

Corporate-state fusion. Democrats.

Scapegoating and manufactured enemies. Both sides.

Cult of personality. Both sides.

Ultranationalism. Republicans.

Five for the left. One for the right. Two shared.

You marched against kings on Saturday.

You marched FOR kings.

You just didn't know which was which.

Stop being gaslit.

I hope you understand what's at stake.

[Jack @Jack_thomas96]

Both of y’all need to stop acting like this on public platforms you look trashy and unprofessional

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Who runs this account?

We literally passed a bill with all of you to fund this…

[Jack @Jack_thomas96]

I never agree with Walsh’s takes, but he nailed this one on the head. Perfectly articulates the viewpoint of those who are skeptical and questioning the Iran situation.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Some of us expressed great concern about the Iran War when it was first launched. We were shouted down and condemned as “panicans” and “blackpillers” and even Islamist sympathizers. But it’s pretty clear from how things have gone that our concerns were absolutely reasonable and legitimate. Maybe Trump will get us out of this thing soon and it still won’t spiral into a long and drawn out war. But even if that happens — and I’m not convinced it will — no thoughtful person can deny at this point that the spiral and long war scenario is very much a possibility. No reasonable person, at this stage, can say that our concerns were irrational. What looks irrational now — and always did — is the demand for blind allegiance and unthinking “trust” in our elected leaders, as though we are called to have faith in politicians like we have faith in God.

[Jack @Jack_thomas96]

Payment fulfilled in 6-9 months once they figure out who they're taking the money from.

NYC Mayor Mamdani announced the city is raising pay to $30 an hour for emergency snow shovelers to help clear streets as crews work to dig out from a major snowstorm… yes you still need to show ID.

[Jack @Jack_thomas96]

Now here's one government official that I'd actually be worried might never pay me for my shoveling services. Type to hire you for a job then go figure out where he's gonna get the money.

Really not trying to pick on him, I actually love his approach to public engagement, algorithm is just a bad influence tonight.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Work alongside New York City's Strongest as we get through this historic storm. 

Emergency shoveling pay is now $30/hour. Walk into any sanitation garage to sign up TODAY BY 8PM or TOMORROW from 9AM to 8PM.

Let's get NYC back on its feet— together.
