Let’s Violate Some Chinese Law...

[Falun Dafa Information Center @FalunInfoCtr]

Thank you @SenTedCruz for your leadership on S. 4009, the Falun Gong and Victims of Forced Organ Harvesting Protection Act. We urge the full Senate to pass it without delay.

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

The U.S. should be committed to countering the Chinese Communist Party's campaigns of coercion, intimidation, and repression against our allies and its people. Last week, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee advanced two bills I've authored to advance American national security and do exactly that. Both passed with bipartisan support.

The Taiwan Symbols Act is aimed at countering the CCP's efforts to undermine Taiwan’s global status.

The Falun Gong and Victims of Forced Organ Harvesting Protection Act imposes sanctions on those responsible for the CCP's state-sponsored organ harvesting industry. I am proud to have worked with @JeffMerkley on this effort, and it passed unanimously.

The Senate should swiftly pass these critical pieces of legislation.

[China Uncensored @ChinaUncensored]

This seems like a bad idea

[Falun Dafa Information Center @FalunInfoCtr]

📆 June 10 marks the anniversary of the formation of one of the most ruthless secret agencies in modern history.

Imagine an organization that was given unlimited power, operating entirely above the law, with a single mandate: to eliminate millions of innocent people for their faith. This was the reality of the 610 Office in China.

Then: Often called "China's Gestapo," the 610 Office was created on this day in 1999 by Jiang Zemin to execute the systematic "eradication" of Falun Gong.

Now: While the official agency was later absorbed into China's broader internal security ministries in 2018, its terrifying legacy and the brutal tactics it pioneered—ranging from mass brainwashing and torture to forced organ harvesting—live on in China's security state today.

The 610 Office thrives when their crimes are hidden in the dark.

Unmask the 610 Office, free Falun Gong.

On June 4, the world marks 37 years since the Chinese Communist Party ordered its troops to attack thousands of peaceful demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square. Those who sacrificed to uphold their unalienable rights of free expression and peaceful assembly will be vindicated someday.

[Jan Jekielek @JanJekielek]

Washington is finally waking up to one of the darkest truths about the modern world.

Last year, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin were caught on a hot mic.

They discussed the possibility of living to 150.

How?

Communist China’s state-sponsored killing of its own citizens on demand to provide an endless supply of organ transplants.

Forced organ harvesting is a multi-billion dollar industry.

Rep. Chris Smith declared: “This was not a macabre small talk amongst aging dictators.”

“It was a glimpse behind the curtain.”

“A glimpse into a world where human beings can be treated as interchangeable parts to prolong the lives of autocrats.”

@mikewchan Just give them $1M and see what happens 🤣

[Select Committee on China @ChinaSelect]

A @TheJusticeDept investigation found that elected California mayor Eileen Wang allegedly acted at the direction of Chinese Communist Party handlers, coordinating with Chinese intelligence-linked individuals and using a local “news” platform to spread CCP propaganda while hiding those ties from the public.

Chairman @RepMoolenaar | "These charges highlight the very real threat of the Chinese Communist Party’s attempts to influence our free and open society. While it denies freedom and liberty for the Chinese people, the CCP is actively working to subvert our institutions and divide us against one another."

This case highlights the very real threat of the CCP’s attempts to influence our free and open society and underscores why communities must demand transparency and cut ties with United Front-linked networks operating in the United States.

[Select Committee on China @ChinaSelect]

A would-be spy offered a staffer on @ChinaSelect $10,000 for insider information on U.S. policy.

Our staffer's response? Report it, document it, and expose it. As a Select Committee, we referred the matter to the @FBI after documenting the outreach and collecting call transcripts.

This is exactly why the Select Committee on China exists, to shine a light on the CCP’s efforts to infiltrate our institutions, and to fight to protect U.S. national security.

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

🚨 Arcadia Mayor Eileen Wang in California has been charged with acting as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China in the United States.

Mayor Wang admitted to acting as a foreign agent from at least 2020 through 2022 - promoting PRC propaganda in the U.S. and acting at PRC’s direction to promote their interests. She has agreed to resign from office and plead guilty.

@FBI and our federal partners continue to move aggressively to root out this kind of influence in American institutions all over the country.

🚨 BREAKING: A new role is quietly emerging and it’s about to dominate the next 5 years.

It’s not “AI engineer.”
It’s not “prompt engineer.”

It’s the Agent Operator.

And it will sit inside almost every organization.

Most people are still thinking about AI as a tool.

That framing is already outdated.

What’s actually happening is a shift from:
humans using software to humans managing autonomous agents that execute work

This is a fundamental redesign of how work gets done.

So what is an Agent Operator?

An Agent Operator is the person who:
• Designs how agents interact with real workflows
• Connects tools, data, and systems into agent pipelines
• Translates business problems into executable agent behavior
• Monitors, corrects, and improves agent performance over time

They don’t just “use AI.”

They orchestrate outcomes.

and this matter because
Every function marketing, legal, finance, biotech is becoming “agent-compatible.”

Not because companies want it.
Because they won’t have a choice.

Agents can:
• Run research loops
• Execute multi-step workflows
• Integrate across tools without APIs breaking the flow
• Operate 24/7 at near-zero marginal cost

The bottleneck is no longer capability.
It’s implementation inside real-world systems.

Required skills for AI Agent Operator role:
→ MCPs (Model Context Protocols)
Understanding how agents access tools, memory, and structured context.

→ CLIs (Command Line Interfaces)
Because serious agent workflows won’t live in GUIs—they’ll run in programmable environments.

→ Writing skills (the file kind)
Clear specs, instructions, and structured documents.
Agents run on precision, not vibes.

→ agents dot md fluency
The ability to define agent roles, constraints, memory, and tool usage in persistent formats.

→ Business acumen
Knowing what actually matters:
Where automation creates leverage, not noise.

What happens next
Enterprises will begin to redesign workflows:

Not around employees using dashboards…
But around agents executing tasks.

That means:
• SOPs → Agent playbooks
• Teams → Human + agent hybrids
• Tools → Composable agent systems

When that shift happens, companies won’t just need engineers.
They’ll need operators who understand both the system and the business.

The leverage is asymmetric

One strong Agent Operator can:

• Replace fragmented SaaS workflows
• Multiply team output without adding headcount
• Turn ideas into execution systems in days

This is not incremental productivity.

It’s operational transformation.

Major cheat code for life: Believe that things will work out for you. Not blindly, but through effort. When you expect good things and pair it with action, you start noticing opportunities others miss. Optimism paired with effort is a powerful force.

I’m in love with this sentence:

“Discipline looks boring until you see what it builds.”

[Falun Dafa Information Center @FalunInfoCtr]

The attack in LA this week follows a troubling surge of physical assaults targeting Falun Gong practitioners across America.

While similar incidents occurred in New York City throughout February and March, this marks the first time this year a suspect was arrested at the scene.

Use this weekend to reset your biology.

Here's your 48-hour protocol:

- Saturday morning: 20 minutes of morning sunlight. No phone for the first hour.
- Both days: eat within an 8–10 hour window. Finish dinner by 7 PM.
- Saturday: a 20-minute Zone 2 walk or easy bike ride.
- Sunday: full body resistance training, even bodyweight.
- Both nights: in bed by 10 PM, room at 67°F, no alcohol. 48 hours done right will carry your energy and focus through the entire next week.

Use the weekend intentionally.
