Worth pointing out that @StevenKahn11 and several of the other people kicked out of the ADA for distributing copies of their critique of the US government's science funding policies led a boycott of Elsevier and The Lancet for publishing an editorial critical of Israel, and they called for "guidelines governing ethical publishing of science and medicine free of divisive political opinion". Funny how they suddenly support politicizing scientific journals when their live(lihood)s are threatened.

[Michael Weintraub, MD @MWeintraubMD]

Physicians and researchers forcibly removed from the ADA meeting after distributing an article that criticized our administration's drastic reductions in NIH funding and spread of conspiracy theories.

The article was published in Diabetes Care, the ADA's flagship journal this year.

Have not had the dedicated time to write much over the past few month but prioritized dedicating time over the past few weeks to draft this..

We definitely live in weird times…

The Fed expanded the money supply by nearly $9 trillion under Powell.

Inflation has averaged >4% per year over the past 6 years.

Powell's explanation? It was nearly all due to rolling “supply shocks" over which the Fed has no control.

The truth: this inflation was made in Washington as it always is - from too much government borrowing/spending and too much government creation of money.

🚨Congressman Thomas Massie dropped the bombshell everyone was waiting for: He revealed Epstein's hidden list and exposed Kash Patel for lying to the American people. Massie says: 'The FBI has files with the names of 20 other men involved with Epstein in the sex trafficking network, including a high-ranking government official.'"

[Dissident Media @DissidentMedia]

This video is worth a watch, yes it is longer than an 8 second boob-tok video, but it might just be one of the most important documentaries on a political candidate of all time. Even if you don’t care about Massie, this arms you with the real words of the people running the US.

[Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff]

It's not @RepThomasMassie who lost today; it's the Republican Party that lost, and more importantly, it's the United States that lost.

Bloomberg:
“The world has burned through oilinventories at a record speed as the Iran war throttles flows from the Persian Gulf…
The rapidly shrinking stockpiles mean that the risk of even more extreme price spikes and shortages is getting ever-closer, leaving governments and industries with fewer options to cushion the impact of the loss of more than a billion barrels of supply, two months into the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz.”

The biggest wealth transfer in American history isn’t happening on Wall Street. It’s happening on U-Hauls.

Over $2 trillion in income fled high-tax blue states for low-tax red states in just 11 years.

And blue states’ solution? Raise taxes again.

[Chris Martenson @chrismartenson]

The US is currently subsidizing the price of oil, and therefore stimulating increased demand, at a time when prices should be going up to choke off enough demand so that supplies are balanced with price.

I didn't come to Washington to grow government. I came to shrink it. I’m proud to have earned the #1 spot on the Limited Government Index.
