[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

For too long, students were told a four-year degree was the only path to success.

The new Workforce Pell Grant changes that. Soon, low-income students can use federal student aid for job training programs leading to in-demand careers with less debt and faster pathways to work, in as little as 8 weeks.

350,000 dead people found on voter rolls from data in just 1/3 of states.

How much more evidence does Senator John Thune need?

Grow a spine and pass the SAVE America Act!

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

The Trump Administration is cracking down on decades of waste and fraud in the federal student aid process, saving American taxpayers more than $60 million in two weeks alone.

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

For every 5 skilled trades workers who retire, only 2 replace them.

That’s why @POTUS created the Workforce Pell Grant program — helping students train for high-wage, in-demand careers in a matter of weeks with little to no student debt.

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level.

Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens.

It will accomplish 4 things (at least )

1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization

Which will

2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption

Which will

3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x

Which will

4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like

At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally.

Thoughts ?

No screaming. No fires. No broken glass. No threats, or machetes, or chants of “Allahu Akbar.”

Just well-mannered, civilized Brits working to save their country from barbarism.

[Eva McMillan ♥️ @EvasTeslaSPlaid]

Bill Gates visited Elon Musk at the Tesla Giga Texas factory and told him straight up: "It's impossible to have a long-range semi-truck. It doesn't work" Elon replied: "We literally have them.
Drive one yourself. Pepsi is using them RIGHT NOW" Gates just kept saying: "No, it doesn't work"!
Today, Tesla Semis are hauling cargo 425+ miles for one of the biggest companies on Earth
Imagine being this confidently wrong, refusing to accept reality, and somehow the media still sells him as a "climate expert! @elonmusk @Tesla

I am in tears. British Patriots are grabbing crosses as they march to take back their country. AMEN

UK has fallen. UK Patriots want it back

Jesus Christ is KING 🙏

[Oliver Burdick @oliverburdick]

The Bible was written on three continents:
- Europe
- Asia
- Africa

In three languages:
- Hebrew
- Aramaic
- Greek

By over 40 different men:
- Kings
- Prophets
- Fishermen
- A doctor

Yet it tells one unified story:
- Creation
- Fall
- Redemption
- Christ

God is incredible.

🚨Texas junior high school stocks the Quran in its library but bans the Bible entirely.

Rep. Brandon Gill and a brave 16-year-old student just exposed this blatant anti-Christian bias in House hearing.

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

🚨 WTF?! VP Vance just exposed a SINGLE "immigrant" in Maine who stole $15 MILLION from Medicaid over five years, claiming to provide interpreter services while providing ZERO.

Why the HELL are we paying for "interpreter services" for illegals anyway??!

CUT IT ALL!

"Rakiya Mohamed was not a particularly upstanding citizen...she was providing zero services and collecting $15 million over a five year period that was going directly into her pocket."

And it happened almost entirely under the Biden administration, which never lifted a finger to stop it.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Who specifically is the asshole who added DEI lies to Academy Awards eligibility instead of it just being about making the best movie?

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

https://t.co/oSzKYa5915 is changing how employers think about their healthcare costs. Now you can carve out for direct contracts with providers and cut your healthcare costs. And it’s all transparent https://t.co/OCYRPCnHgO

[Rep. Keith Self @RepKeithSelf]

I have formally requested that the IRS and DOJ open additional investigations into EPIC City—the proposed Muslim-only community now being rebranded as “The Meadows”—right here in my district.

This Sharia city should never see the light of day.

DO NOT SHARIA OUR TEXAS!

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

In Japan, children clean their own schools.

Every day. After lunch.
About twenty minutes.

Classrooms.
Hallways.
Toilets.

Not because the schools are too poor
to hire someone.

Because in 1947, this country decided
that cleaning your own space
is part of becoming a person.

The cleaning rag
is on the school supply list.
Right next to the pencils.

Egypt teaches it now.
So does Indonesia.
So does Mongolia.

Think about the last time
you watched a seven-year-old
mop a floor without complaining.

Japan does that
in every elementary school
in the country.

Not as punishment.

As education.

[Anna Lulis @annamlulis]

Normalize this.

@elonmusk is the richest man in the world, yet consistently lives out his pro-child beliefs by bringing his own children into his daily work.

He is walking around Beijing China with his son Lil X

Kids aren’t burdens—they’re the future.

RFK Jr: "GROUNDbreaking HISTORIC WIN for American Health!"

"For the 1st time in history, doctors will finally get PAID to take patients OFF unnecessary medications...to DEPRESCRIBE harmful pharmaceuticals."

No more rewarding over-medication. This is the beginning of putting patients first, reversing polypharmacy, and delivering true healing.

Wellness over pills. Freedom over dependency.

[Brilyn Hollyhand @BrilynHollyhand]

Christian students,

This is a Christian nation.

Don't cower to the Left at school.

Don't write two versions of every essay.

The time of us cowering is over.

Stand up for your Christianity.

I don’t know who this is, but well said Fred! 🙏🇺🇸🙏
