From U-boats to Blackhawk helicopters to the Space Shuttle — this is the surprisingly badass history of how critical care medicine actually developed. Hope you enjoy it: https://t.co/TLF9UYzT1E

Your capnography, pulse ox, and ventilator didn’t come from medical research. They came from submarines, fighter jets, and NASA. The real origin story of critical care is way cooler than the textbooks admit. Check it out 👇

🚨 From Battlefields to Bedside: How war shaped the modern ICU

Tourniquets → damage-control resuscitation
MASH units → trauma systems
WWII antibiotics → today’s sepsis bundles

The bloodiest chapters of history gave us our best critical care tools.

🚨 California Passed "The Stop Nick Shirley Act":
This week the California Assembly passed AB 2624. This bill will criminalize investigative journalism involving the immigrant population. It would have made it illegal to expose the Somali "Learing" center if it were in California or the Armenian hospice fraud in LA if they claimed "reasonable fear."

The bill protects "immigration support services providers," which means services provided to immigrants, including health care. It has been proven that millions, potentially billions, of dollars in fraud has taken place in "immigrant support services” which includes nonprofits and NGOs the state funds.

California is trying to make it harder to expose fraud and scare individuals from investigating it as they could be forced and sued to remove the video, forced to pay attorney fees, and ordered to pay a minimum of $4,000 in damages.

This bill was created by Mia Bonta (the attorney general's wife). She has made 4 separate versions of this bill because each version violates the 1st Amendment and is extremely unconstitutional.

Plain and simple, California politicians need the fraud to continue because they depend on the fraud to push their agendas. END ALL THE FRAUD.

Look at the map. 338,000+ red dots.
Unique IP addresses trading, distributing, and sharing child sexual abuse material… children under 12.

Do you notice the blue dots? Probably not. Those are the actual investigations.

Law enforcement needs more resources, more support… a bigger rescue team.

This is a fight of good vs. evil, and we are losing.

Elon Musk on Politics:

"Politics generally is very tribal, and people lose their objectivity, usually with politics like they generally have trouble seeing the good on the other side or the bad in their own side.

This was one of the things that surprised me the most that you often simply cannot reason with people if they're in one tribe or the other. They simply believe that everything their tribe does is good and anything the other political tribe does is bad."

🚨🇺🇸 A Minnesota activist tied to anti-ICE Signal chats was caught on undercover audio.

Lokito Gomez, as he’s known, was ordering others to follow a car they thought was an ICE vehicle in Minneapolis.

It wasn’t ICE. It was journalists.

Protesters swarmed the street, blocking traffic and yelling in the snow.

He’s in the same chat as his brother, Jose Gomez.

Tips say Lokito might be tied to a gang and is possibly armed.

WATCH🚨: Country’s top expert (@TheBrancaShow) self-defense law weighs in:

Officers were wrestling an armed suspect when “GUN!” was yelled after one was spotted. Settled law lets officers rely on each other’s reasonable perceptions—no need for personal confirmation.
Once a firearm shows up amid active resistance, the standard is clear: reasonable belief in imminent deadly force. It was met here.
Freeze-frame critics ignore real-time chaos. The law doesn’t demand officers wait to get shot.

Tragic? Yes. Lawful? Absolutely.

[Jeffery Mead @the_jefferymead]

This was more of a tragedy than the Renee Good situation. This appears to be the result of democrat propaganda, confusion, and a breakdown in communication on the ground between law enforcement.

If this man had stayed home minding his own business, he would still be alive today.

If he hadn’t brought a gun into a volatile situation or tried to interfere with an active operation, he would still be alive.

This is awful, but completely avoidable. Bad choices have real consequences.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. SCOTUS Justice Sam Alito asks ACLU lawyer "what is a man and a woman?" and they DON'T HAVE A DEFINITION.

Alito's response is perfect.

ALITO: What does it mean to be a man or woman?

ACLU: We do not have a definition for the Court.

ALITO: How can a court determine whether there's discrimination on the basis of s*x, without KNOWING what s*x means?!

Omg, you can't make this crap up. Seriously.

🇺🇸🇸🇴 $35M IN POLITICAL DONATIONS FROM MINNESOTA SOMALI FRAUDSTER DAYCARES

The Minnesota daycares funneled a combined $35M to political campaigns over the last 2 years.

A table from the somaliscan site listing providers like Future Leaders Early Learning Center Inc, topping the chart at $6.6M.

The political alignment of the fraudsters is CLEAR.

It's all tying it into the ongoing fraud firestorm where these spots are accused of pocketing taxpayer cash for ghost services.

With fraud probes heating up and feds freezing bucks, this adds fuel to the "drain the swamp" calls.

Elon Musk: A lot of the negativity stems from the axiomatic flaw that the economic pie is static, that it's a zero-sum game.

“At my first company I didn't have any money, I just had $100,000 in student debt. That was a company in the very early days, of the Internet, called Zip2. But for all companies subsequently, I basically doubled down. I took the money from Zip2, invested it in X.com-PayPal, and then took the PayPal money, invested that in creating Tesla and SpaceX. It didn't feel right that I should ask investors to invest if I was not prepared to invest my own money. I think the whole other people's money thing is not right. You want to have skin in the game. As a result of that, I own a lot of shares in the company. And the better the company does, the more valuable the shares are. But that's because the pie has grown. And so you have to say what's at the root of a lot of the negativity is an axiomatic flaw. That the pie is static, that it's a zero-sum game, that if someone else succeeds, it's because they took more than their fair share of this fixed pie. But it's not a fixed pie. Obviously, the economic pie has grown considerably from what it was in the past. The output of goods and services, the productivity per person is dramatically greater than it has been in the past. So when you create a new company and you create new products and services, you're growing the amount of goods and services available to people. So you've not taken anything away from anyone. You've created something new and you've given people new products and services they didn't have before. We didn't use to have an iPhone, we didn't use to have computers. We didn't use to have cars or be able to fly in airplanes. We didn't use to have many of the life-saving medicines that we have today. These are all new things. The pie has grown tremendously.”
