President Trump's 2025 AI policy explicitly advocates for minimal restrictions, framing deregulation as essential for the U.S. to win the global "AI race" against adversaries like China. On January 23, 2025, he signed Executive Order 14179, titled "Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence," which revoked President Biden's prior safety and oversight mandates to eliminate perceived bureaucratic obstacles to innovation.

Preemption of State Laws: A core component of this agenda is the December 11, 2025 Executive Order 14365, which seeks to establish a single national policy framework to prevent a "patchwork" of 50 different state regulations. The administration argues that state-level laws, particularly those in California and Colorado regarding algorithmic bias or "ideological" content, create compliance burdens that stifle startups and economic growth.

Enforcement Mechanisms: To enforce this deregulatory stance without direct statutory preemption, the order directs the Attorney General to establish an AI Litigation Task Force to challenge state laws deemed unconstitutional or inconsistent with federal policy. Additionally, the Secretary of Commerce is authorized to withhold Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) funding from states that maintain "onerous" AI laws, effectively using federal grants to discourage local regulation.

This rule makes it easier for 401(k) plans to add risky, high-fee alternative investments like private equity and hedge funds. These options often have high costs, low transparency, and can lose money fast. It puts average workers' retirement savings at greater risk while giving plan managers legal protection even if the choices perform poorly. Americans should oppose it because it prioritizes profits for investment firms over protecting everyday people's hard-earned savings.

The yield on 30-year Treasuries is above 5%, nearing the highest yield in twenty years. The move from 5% to 6% will be much quicker than the move from 4% to 5%, and the move from 6% to 7% will be quicker still. Given our sky-high debt, this move will trigger an economic crisis.

🚨ALERT‼️ There are over 100,000 Flock Cameras In the United States as of today.

BTW each one contains 3 g of gold, almost $100 worth of silver, and enough copper wire to choke a horse. 🤔🤔

Learn everything you can about them: https://t.co/khf93E6hd5

[Jason Bassler @JasonBassler1]

⚠️ Definitely DO NOT point a 1000nm wavelength green laser at Flock cameras. It totally won't damage the sensor and render the camera ineffective.

So please don't consider it, okay?

🚨 NOW: FBI Director Kash Patel confirms both charges against James Comey are FELONIES

Comey's facing DECADES in prison.

@FBIDirectorKash: "James Comey allegedly threatened the life of the president of the United States. And as you all now know, shortly after posting that threat, he deleted that threat and then issued an apology. All of that information was presented to the grand jury and Mr. Comey will have his day in court, and his ability to speak to a jury of his peers"

"While many of you may read this indictment and view this matter as a simple investigation, it is the farthest thing from that. Every single investigation, this FBI and our partners at the Department of Justice undertake, especially those that involve the threats to harm or hurt or even KlLL individuals, whether they behold public office or civilians in our country are met with the SAME measure of investigative prowess and tools and personnnel in partnership with the Department of Justice as anyone else."

🚨 PANGEA'S ANCIENT FIRE MEETS 21ST-CENTURY GENIUS—APPALACHIANS JUST GIFTED AMERICA 328 YEARS OF LITHIUM INDEPENDENCE AND SHATTERED CHINA'S CRITICAL-MINERAL STRANGLEHOLD FOREVER! 🇺🇸

From the tectonic crucible that birthed the supercontinent Pangea over 250 million years ago—heat, pressure, and geologic alchemy—emerged not merely the storied ridges of the Appalachians, but a strategic treasure trove that rewrites America's destiny.

Today, the USGS delivers the scholarly thunderbolt: 2.3 million metric tons of undiscovered, economically recoverable lithium oxide locked in pegmatite veins—1.43 million tons in the southern Appalachians (Carolinas heartland) and 900,000 tons in the northern (Maine & New Hampshire). At current import rates? That's 328 years of total U.S. lithium independence.

Think in scale:

- Batteries for 130 million electric vehicles.
- 1.6 million grid-scale storage batteries to stabilize
the nation's power.
- Enough raw material for 180 billion laptops (a
thousand-year supply) or 500 billion cellphones—
60 for every human on Earth.

This is no speculative fever dream. It's rigorous USGS science: geologic maps, tectonic models, geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys, and global-grade/tonnage simulations peer-reviewed to gold-standard precision (50% confidence median, with explicit uncertainty bounds). The same pegmatites that powered America's lithium dominance three decades ago—Kings Mountain, NC, once a world leader—now stand ready for a renaissance.

We import over half our lithium today, mostly from Argentina and Chile, with China refining the lion's share and weaponizing supply chains. No more. Thanks to world-leading mineral science, permitting reform, and renewed domestic investment under @POTUS and Secretary @SecretaryBurgum, America reclaims its birthright: mineral sovereignty, energy dominance, and national security.

Appalachia—cradle of American resilience—doesn't just echo with coal and courage. It now roars with tomorrow's batteries, grids, EVs, aerospace alloys, and military tech.

Jobs. Prosperity. Independence.

The mountains that forged a nation just handed us the keys to the future.

This is scholarly triumph meeting unapologetic American will. This is how superpowers are reborn.

🚨 “THEY’RE POISONING US AND GETTING PROTECTED FOR IT.”

Our @caracastronuova spoke with “Food Babe” Vani Hari outside the Monsanto v. Durnell arguments at the Supreme Court today - and @thefoodbabe did NOT hold back.

👉 “Glyphosate is being sprayed on 60–70% of American soil.”
👉 “It’s classified as a carcinogen.”
👉 “Companies poisoning us should NOT get immunity.”

This comes as the Court looks at a case tied to Monsanto - while activists say the federal government is siding with corporate interests over public health.

And here’s the part that hits:
🇺🇸 Europe already uses a safer version of these chemicals.

So why not here?

Her message to lawmakers:
If you stand with chemical corporations over The People - voters are watching.

This isn’t fringe anymore.
This is going mainstream.
