One vote stood between America and independence. The man who had to cast it was 80 miles away, battling cancer, as a violent thunderstorm raged. His name was Caesar Rodney.
A lesser-known founder of the American Revolution, Rodney rode overnight on horseback from Delaware to Philadelphia, arriving just in time to cast the deciding vote for independence and sign the Declaration of Independence. 🇺🇲
Citizen Vigilante is now #1 on Apple and on Amazon Video.
A $750k movie beating blockbusters with hundreds of millions in production budget.
Just because the director / producer had the courage to address a really important topic.
Courage in art remains the best recipe for success. I hope more movie (and game …!!!) creators grow some balls.
85% of reported scam complaints involving social media were linked to Facebook, while 𝕏 had the lowest at just 0.1%.
• Facebook was cited in 85% of identified social media scam complaints collected.
• 𝕏: 0.1%, the lowest among major platforms.
• Internal Meta documents projected $16 billion in annual revenue from scam and banned-goods ads, about 10% of the company’s revenue.
• The watchdog SafelyHQ has received 50,000+ verified scam reports, with experts saying the real victim count is likely in the tens of millions.
• Meta reportedly only bans advertisers when its systems are 95% certain they’re committing fraud, while suspicious advertisers can be charged higher ad fees instead.
MacKenzie Scott has donated over $26 billion to nonprofits.
Around $1 billion of that ($786M confirmed but many donation amounts aren't disclosed) has funded 226 organizations focused either fully or partly on "gender identity."
This funds children's access to puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible and often sterilizing surgeries.
She is directly funding the largest medical scandal against children we've ever seen.
Meanwhile, the entire movement opposing sex and gender pseudoscience engulfing science, medicine, and culture runs on maybe ~$10M annually. Hard to say exactly, but it's minuscule in comparison.
We are so out-funded it's laughable.
If you're extremely wealthy, consider donating to competent organizations help combat the behemoth we're up against.
No organization turns donation money into real policy change more efficiently than the Manhattan Institute (@ManhattanInst).
(Disclosure: I work there. But it's true)
The fight against pediatric gender "medicine" and sex pseudoscience is far from over.
Ford CEO Jim Farley in new interview on Chinese EV competition:
"There's no real competition from Tesla, GM or Ford with what we've seen from China. They are completely dominating the EV landscape globally."
The Tesla Model Y is one of the best selling cars in China...

Being at the launch of Cybercab two years ago was magic.
A decade from now there will be millions of these things rolling around the world.
The war over autonomous vehicles is on, as everyone in San Francisco knows.
But if you add up everyone who has been in ANY autonomous vehicle, whether from Waymo, any of the Chinese, the NVIDIA, any Tesla, it is only a few million people out of eight billion.
When I first saw autonomous vehicles at Stanford University about 20 years ago they were so crappy I thought I'd never be alive to see them.
I have the first video of the first Waymo on the freeway, and I've been blessed to have been able to watch the development of these up close (got the first ride in Mercedes' AI car, for instance).
So many engineers spent so many hours developing them, many going down bad paths. Which happens with innovation.
They will save millions of lives.
Ford's head of safety told me that what kills people in a head-on wreck is the steering wheel.
Now we can see a path to getting rid of the steering wheel totally.
Congrats to Tesla and @elonmusk for getting here.
Still a lot of work to go and many fights with many communities who will try to ban these to protect jobs.
I'm very bullish on Cybercab and will buy one if sold to private citizens, as expected.
Why?
I never touch the steering wheel in my vehicles already and this will be the lowest cost vehicle with the most safety.
And a great big screen and a great sound system to watch whatever I want. When I met the engineers at the launch they said they made many decisions to make it quieter inside, so we can do things like listen to music, video calls, or watch the World Cup.
This vehicle is the iPhone moment of autonomous vehicles.
One I've been lucky enough to survive the 20 years it took to see.
In the UK, Police officers would have special "cop nights" run by the Pakistani rape gangs where they were allowed to gang rape grooming gang victims as a "Thankyou" for turning the other way.
Bring back capital punishment 😡
PEOPLE ARE BLAMING ELON MUSK FOR “DEATHS” FROM USAID CUTS — BUT THE DATA AND REALITY SAY OTHERWISE
Opponents are loudly claiming that cutting wasteful USAID spending is killing people in poor countries.
Here’s what’s actually happening:
• No evidence of mass deaths — Preliminary 2025 mortality data from several African countries shows no increase in deaths after major USAID cuts. In some places, deaths even decreased.
• USAID had serious problems — Widespread waste, fraud, and misuse of taxpayer money. Multiple USAID officials have been charged with stealing funds and pled guilty. Programs included bizarre spending like drag shows in Ecuador, pushing certain ideologies abroad, and even influencing foreign elections.
• Good parts were preserved — Effective humanitarian aid was transferred to the State Department. Only the wasteful, fraudulent, or politically weaponized portions were cut.
• Fearmongering with models — Claims of “millions dying” come from projections and assumptions, not actual body counts. No one can name specific victims caused by the cuts.
