Today, @SecWar and I announced a major new agreement to surge capital to America’s small manufacturers and supercharge U.S. defense production.

Building on the Smaller War Plants Commission, @SBAgov and @DeptofWar will connect small manufacturers with financing and investment—mobilizing American industry to accelerate weapons production, expand our arsenal, and deliver the capabilities our warfighters need to dominate the battlefield.

Under President Trump, we’re ending the era of foreign dependence and building an Arsenal of Freedom that can outproduce, out-innovate, and outlast any adversary to secure lasting peace through strength.

Numbers don't lie.

Here is a compilation of data: how much aid the US and EU have provided to Ukraine, how much they have paid to purchase Russian fossil fuels.

The EU’s cumulative purchases of Russian fossil fuels exceed its aid allocations to Ukraine by approximately €37.7 billion.

🚨🧵 BREAKING - The "conservative" protest against AI data centers has an anti-ICE NGO organizer, a DSA member, Facebook money.

Other than that, totally grassroots.

Axios ran an "exclusive" Wednesday about a "conservative group" called Humans First planning a nationwide day of protest against AI data centers on July 18. Amy Kremer is chairing it and invoking the Tea Party.

Axios didn't mention that Humans First was incubated by the Center for AI Safety, an organization funded with millions from Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz. Or that its original staff included a Sunrise Movement organizer who sat in at Pelosi's office with AOC and a DSA member who organized for Kamala Harris.

NBC News described CAIS as having founded Humans First "to be a sort of Trojan horse to make AI safety issues more palatable to a conservative political audience."

@ParkerThayer exposed the Action Network backend.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

🚨 ÚLTIMA HORA: FOX NEWS EXPONE LA MAQUINARIA GLOBAL ANTIISRAELÍ.

Una investigación de Fox News revela una coalición con sede en Londres que coordina protestas antiisraelíes en todo el mundo.

La investigación identificó 179 organizaciones y 322 eventos planificados, con mensajes coordinados, materiales de protesta y estrategias para bloquear ciudades, rodear edificios gubernamentales y paralizar negocios.

La red incluye a CodePink y figuras políticas, y mantiene vínculos financieros con organizaciones investigadas por el Congreso por presunta influencia del Partido Comunista Chino.

No son simples protestas espontáneas: es una campaña política internacional para presionar y aislar a Israel.

BOMBSHELL: The federal government has determined that Keith Ellison’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit is failing to effectively carry out its responsibilities.
In a stunning rebuke, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General has placed Minnesota’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit on conditional recertification, citing serious deficiencies in its operations and performance.
The Inspector General concluded that the unit “is not effectively carrying out its statutory functions and requirements.”The findings are damning:
📷 The unit failed to exercise proper fiscal control over its federal grant.
📷 It is not effectively using its resources to investigate and prosecute allegations of patient abuse and neglect.📷 Over three years, the unit secured just FOUR convictions related to patient abuse and neglect, ranking 13th out of 15 similarly sized units nationwide.📷 The Inspector General determined that the unit is not adhering to federal performance standards.This isn't a political accusation.
These are the findings of the federal government's own Inspector General.
Minnesota has been rocked by massive Medicaid fraud scandals, and now we learn that the very unit responsible for investigating and prosecuting Medicaid fraud is failing to meet federal standards.
And once again, don't expect the mainstream media to give this story the attention it deserves.
Keith Ellison has had years to get this right. Instead, federal officials are raising serious concerns about the performance of his office.
Minnesotans deserve an Attorney General who takes fraud seriously, protects vulnerable Minnesotans, and holds criminals accountable.

As Attorney General, that's exactly what I'll do.

ALERT: Former USPS worker pleaded guilty to stealing $34 million in mailed checks while on her route.

Destinee Ruffin, 29, a former United States Postal Service (USPS) employee, pleaded guilty to stealing and depositing mailed checks.

Ruffin took the stolen checks and sold them to co-conspirators, who then deposited them or created counterfeit checks and sold them online.

Federal investigators caught Ruffin by tracing stolen Treasury checks with recorded serial numbers to her Indianapolis route.

Federal agents searched Ruffin’s house and found over 6,000 pieces of mail totaling almost $20 million in unsold checks, and believe she sold almost $12 million in checks to co-conspirator John Young.

The United States Attorney’s Office says that it estimates almost 6,500 victims were affected by this widespread fraud scheme.

MIT: "IT REVERSED ALZHEIMERS"

The device technolgy that MIT has found treats Alzheimer disease is BACK IN STOCK, BUT RUNNS OUT IN MINUTES. It also treats ADHD, depression, autisim and attention.

The MIT work published in Nature in 2024 revealed how 40Hz stimulation activates VIP expressing interneurons leading to increased release of a vasoactive peptide. This in turn enhances arterial pulsation opens astrocyte channels and promotes cerebrospinal fluid flow through the glymphatic system to clear amyloid and other waste proteins from brain tissue.

The discovery provides a clear biological explanation for the observed reductions in pathology and links the sensory input of this AVE style device to fundamental clearance processes in the brain.

For decades, Washington told us that a manufacturing decline was inevitable.

Last week, I presented 522 new manufacturing projects that say otherwise.

[Robby Starbuck @robbystarbuck]

This is your daily reminder that leftists belong nowhere near law enforcement or the justice system. This guy poisoned a coworker and could’ve killed her but he only spent ONE DAY in prison. Anyone want to guess why? A self described "woke" Democrat DA made this deal because she wanted to reduce incarcerations. When they do this stuff I believe it should make them legal accomplices to the underlying crimes. Allowing this is the definition of insanity.

[Palmer Luckey @PalmerLuckey]

Hey @thehill, it is crazy you would allow people who publicly advocate for my assasination to write this sort of piece for you.

Could you please add some sort of disclaimer, like "Editors Note: The think tank that wrote this thinks Palmer should be killed in the streets."

Monarch butterfly numbers climbed 64% this season, thanks in part to the growing number of people creating pollinator gardens. It’s a clear reminder of what shared purpose can accomplish. Look what we did

Their recovery is still fragile, though, so continuing, and expanding those plantings next year remains essential.

SCOOP

MASSIVE WIN

Virginia's Department of Medical Assistance Services sent out emails notifying networks that they will NO LONGER provide coverage for the chemical and surgical castration of CHILDREN

Now whoever pushed this barbarism needs to go to prison.

Jeff Bezos says if Amazon ran like the New York school system, your package would take six weeks to arrive with the WRONG item inside.

NYC spends $44,000 per student. At 20 students per teacher, that’s over $880,000 per classroom.

But the teachers aren’t making anything close to that. So where’s the money going?

BEZOS: “How much of that money do you think is trickling down to teachers? NOT MUCH.”

This $44,000 per student figure is 30% MORE than Chicago, L.A., and Boston spend. And the kids aren’t getting better results.

Nearly HALF of NYC 4th graders can’t even read at a basic level. By 8th grade, 77% aren’t proficient in math.

Tax you more. Deliver worse outcomes. Make the bureaucrats nearly impossible to fire.

And they have the gall to demand more of your money.

This is so damning…when will any of those responsible be held accountable?

Guys, it was just the fire. The fire magically decided to destroy the oldest market in Paris, located right in the middle of the historic Jewish neighborhood of Le Marais, directly during all those mostly peaceful "student protests." Naughty, naughty fire.

The SPLC is Going Down! ‼️

The Justice Department says a grand jury in the Middle District of Alabama returned an 11-count indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center: six counts of wire fraud, four of bank fraud, and one of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The indictment alleges the group paid at least $3 million to eight people tied to extremist groups between 2014 and 2023, including about $270,000 over eight years to a member of the leadership group that planned the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

It is over.
