Sec. Hegseth’s actions continue to be despicable – and they certainly aren’t representative of the Army I served in. We’ve repeatedly seen how this White House has disparaged and mistreated both active-duty service members and the veterans who raised their hand to serve this country. I’m glad that people are continuing to stand up and speak out. theatlantic.com/magazine/202…

Here is the long-awaited book cover of Suicidal Empathy. I hope that you love it as much as I do!

"She is a professional protester. I found her at almost 100 different protests. Let's look at her portfolio..."

“It’s improper for there to be racist laws in South Africa. The whole idea with what Nelson Mandela, who was a great man, proposed, was that all races should be on an equal footing in South Africa. That’s the right thing to do. Not to replace one set of racist laws with another set of racist laws, which is utterly wrong and improper. And so now I’m in this absurd situation where I was born in South Africa but cannot get a license to operate Starlink because I’m not black” -Elon Musk

BREAKING: Grok just hit the #1 rank on the UK App Store. 🇬🇧

Yesterday a quasi-judicial body in Italy fined @Cloudflare $17 million for failing to go along with their scheme to censor the Internet. The scheme, which even the EU has called concerning, required us within a mere 30 minutes of notification to fully censor from the Internet any sites a shadowy cabal of European media elites deemed against their interests. No judicial oversight. No due process. No appeal. No transparency. It required us to not just remove customers, but also censor our 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver meaning it risked blacking out any site on the Internet. And it required us not just to censor the content in Italy but globally. In other words, Italy insists a shadowy, European media cabal should be able to dictate what is and is not allowed online. That, of course, is DISGUSTING and even before yesterday’s fine we had multiple legal challenges pending against the underlying scheme. We, of course, will now fight the unjust fine. Not just because it’s wrong for us but because it is wrong for democratic values. In addition, we are considering the following actions: 1) discontinuing the millions of dollars in pro bono cyber security services we are providing the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics; 2) discontinuing Cloudflare’s Free cyber security services for any Italy-based users; 3) removing all servers from Italian cities; and 4) terminating all plans to build an Italian Cloudflare office or make any investments in the country. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. While there are things I would handle differently than the current U.S. administration, I appreciate @JDVance taking a leadership role in recognizing this type of regulation is a fundamental unfair trade issue that also threatens democratic values. And in this case @ElonMusk is right: #FreeSpeech is critical and under attack from an out-of-touch cabal of very disturbed European policy makers. I will be in DC first thing next week to discuss this with U.S. administration officials and I’ll be meeting with the IOC in Lausanne shortly after to outline the risk to the Olympic Games if @Cloudflare withdraws our cyber security protection. In the meantime, we remain happy to discuss this with Italian government officials who, so far, have been unwilling to engage beyond issuing fines. We believe Italy, like all countries, has a right to regulate the content on networks inside its borders. But they must do so following the Rule of Law and principles of Due Process. And Italy certainly has no right to regulate what is and is not allowed on the Internet in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Brazil, India or anywhere outside its borders. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FIGHT AND WE WILL WIN!!!

THERE IT IS 🚨 Official hearing in Minnesota reveals Tim Walz BLOCKED INVESTIGATIONS into “high priority” fraud cases - He SHUT DOWN criminal investigations - No new criminal investigations allowed - They changed the name from “calling it fraud to calling it over billing” - They were told they could no longer meet with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agents - They created an entire department to make sure it was no longer called fraud and was called over billing It’s time to arrest Tim Walz “Do you have any examples of how the Walts administration blocked investigators from moving forward with high priority fraud investigations?” “Yes, we do, Mr. Chairman. I have met with whistleblowers and gotten documents from them about how after the original C-CAP whistleblower report came out in March and April of 2019, subsequent to that, there was an Office of Inspector General within DHS that had investigative authority to do surveillance, warrants, and seize, electronics and THRY WERE SHUT DOWN. They were told they could no longer do criminal investigations. They were told they could no longer meet with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agents that were assigned to them without supervisors approval. And instead, when they found, one of the other members talked about how they changed the language. They went from calling it fraud to calling it over billing. And they created an over billing committee to all the investigative agents now couldn't do criminal investigations and they had to flag issue over billing and then and a committee would decide if any of that over billing would be recouped” “So they shut down criminal investigations. They created a committee to call it over billing and decide if over billing investigations would even try to this money. This is evidence that Tim Waltz is in. It sounds to me like Tim Waltz was directly involved here.“
