Step 1 in deescalation must be restraining the Israelis, otherwise all efforts to negotiate will follow this pattern:
POTUS publicly announces deescalation.
Israel takes major strikes to destroy the negotiations & in turn weaken our ability to negotiate.
The war accelerates.
Things more dangerous than $7 coffees:
- $40,000 wedding ($5,000/hr party)
- $80,000 degree that gets you a $50,000/yr job
- $40,000 car loan because you "earned it"
- $2,000/mo apartments to flex for friends
...Thats why 80% of people are broke.
🚨 Let me tell you why this Goldman Sachs headline is the most dangerous one you'll read today..
Companies spent $450 billion on AI last year.. fired tens of thousands of people to "restructure around AI".. replaced entire departments with chatbots..
And Goldman Sachs just said it contributed basically zero to economic growth..
so where did the money go?
> It went to Nvidia.. $130 billion in GPU sales.. Jensen is the only man on earth who got rich from AI that hasn't produced anything yet..
> It went to stock buybacks.. companies fired people, cut costs, reported "record profits" and bought back their own shares.. the money went UP not OUT.. Jesus!
> It went to a bubble.. the same way crypto money went to Lamborghinis and not infrastructure.. AI money is going to valuations and not productivity..
here's the part that should terrify you..
They already fired the people.. Atlassian 1,600.. Meta 21,000.. Block 40%.. Amazon warehouses.. the jobs are already gone..
But the growth didn't come.. the productivity didn't come.. the revenue didn't come..
they burned the village to build a city that doesn't exist yet..
and Goldman Sachs just looked at the empty lot and said "there's nothing here"
Everyone wants me to rip on TrumpRx. Reality is, it’s saving patients money on IVF and a few other drugs. A lot of money.
IMO, anything that saves patients money is a win.
And they truly do have some great people that are making smart moves. You just don’t know their names. Chris Klomp. Mark Atalla, Abe Sutton and so many more.
When you talk to them, and see the work they put in, it’s obvious they are focused on trying to do the right thing for patients.
Don’t forget they didn’t give the insurance industry a price increase they wanted, and those stock prices got crushed.
TrumpRx is just getting started. @costplusdrugs is just getting started.

Jesus's sacrifice is enough.
Some wheat is sprayed with glyphosate just before harvest to help dry the crop. The weed killer is applied to wheat intended for human consumption.
The EU banned this use. Some claim glyphosate is used for desiccation on only 3% of US wheat crops.
We should end this practice.
The President and Sec Kennedy apparently are tone deaf to the wishes of American consumers who do not wish to eat cancer causing poison.
Well guess what?
The American People will be tone deaf this April 15th.
I introduced the No Immunity for Glyphosate Act.
Thank you @chelliepingree, @RepBoebert, @RepNancyMace, @RepRoKhanna for sponsoring.
If we’re Making America Healthy Again, government shouldn't be promoting glyphosate and providing liability immunity for corporations making it.
There is a massive push by Pharma right now to kill peptide use and specifically go after compounding pharmacies. Based on some of the research I have seen, peptides have some pretty incredible medical properties and are doing wonders for people. At any rate, Pharma has a tendency to tip the scales on anything that could potentially cost them revenue. I want to raise this issue for everyone so that you can get involved.
