I actually know a lot of people who will be directly affected by this and might decide to leave the US as a result. Trump's dumbest move BY FAR.

I honestly don't know any of the words on the top half, but I know all the words on the bottom half. Is that telling me something?
Which words are known better by women than men, and which by men than women. I’ve removed the key showing which color represents which sex, because I’m pretty sure you won’t be needing it… [Link below.]

I spent over 100 hours compiling and analyzing over 5,000 videos of soldiers trying to escape UAV drones — pulling material from Telegram, Reddit, and other sources. Here is what i found out.

Another exhibit in superpower suicide.
Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Fun bit of history: the Navy won the initial contract to launch the first US satellite, because the US didn’t like the optics of it going to a bunch of German immigrants, using an adapted V-2. The Navy’s rocket wasn’t ready in time to beat Sputnik, then blew up on the launchpad.
Vance is so good: "The American Space Program, the first program to put a human being on the moon, was built by American citizens. This idea that American citizens don't have the talent to do great things, that you have to import a foreign class of servants, I just reject that."

Is Trump going to be the most corrupt president in human history by values transacted?
Justin Sun SEC investigation dropped after he buys a load of Trump coins Binance SEC investigation dropped after they launder $2B in Trump coins via Saudis Sensing a pattern here…🚔 Unfathomable levels of corruption in the open.

Students looking to study in the US: Better delete those negative posts and start praising the supreme leader if you don't want your visa denied. https://t.co/lZ7JphYCbs

It’s the latest salvo against universities, many of whom rely heavily on foreign students for funds.

Cutting US STEM funding in half is exactly what you’d do if you wanted the US to lose to China

It’s just not doing it. Which is insane — because the CCP leveraged TikTok to influence U.S. public opinion against tariffs on China. What’s coming next will be worse. Beijing will leverage it in our upcoming elections. They’ve done it in Europe. They’ll do it here.
Has the Trump administration released any sort of explanation—however cynical or tangential—for why it’s not enforcing the TikTok law that Congress passed and the Supreme Court upheld 9-0, or is it just . . . not doing it?

what the hell is going on
Trump dramatically shrinks National Security Council by putting staff on leave, firing others, and sending detailees back to home agencies. Most of the China team has been removed. Staff were given 30 minutes to clear their desks. https://t.co/jDBa4hG4cF

Not sure how many people realize that battery storage already supplies 30% of California’s electricity demand at peak. Batteries aren’t the future — they’re here now.

Trump has given the world to China. It’s so obvious and so pronounced that it’s just … hard to believe that it’s not intentional.

Many people have no sense of how quickly Chinese biotech is catching up to the US. If we do not reduce clinical development costs and timelines through fast and decisive action from FDA, forget about losing drug manufacturing (gone already) - we are going to lose biotech R&D.
Pfizer licensed a PD-1/VEGF drug from China for up to $4.8b Turns out all leading PD-1/VEGF drugs originated in China! De-novo discovery competition is heating up Protectionism isn't the answer. US biotech is ossifying & overregulated. No cope, let's accelerate the US!

WOW….I have never seen a coordinated effort like this by foreign missions in Taiwan. But…why wasn’t the AIT involved?
Australia reaffirms our support for Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the World Health Organization and observership at the World Health Assembly. Read our Joint Press Release here: https://t.co/CfkEFXzJH6
