Have told Michael Anton that it isn’t worth his valuable attention to respond to the aspersions of a bitter troll—but as James’ maligning of Claremont and those influenced by its work is unceasing, I relented. A public denouncement of James by Anton is entirely justified. 🔗 👇

🏛️Peter Thiel is coming to Nashville to deliver his four-part lecture series on the Antichrist. As the war for AI rages and parties push for regulation to ward off Armageddon, his thoughts have never been more pertinent.

This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1 on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks.
Meanwhile America is tying itself in knots: politicians and bureaucrats are banning new data centers, piling on state regulations, and pushing for new federal agencies to pre-approve frontier models.
This is how you lose the AI race. The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog ourselves down. Permissionless innovation is how America won the internet and became the technological envy of the world. We can do it again with AI -- while addressing risks in a targeted way -- or we’ll watch our lead evaporate.
Big news: Kimi-K3 by @Kimi_Moonshot is now #1 in the Frontend Code Arena with 1679 pts, surpassing Claude Fable 5.
This is a 17-place jump from Kimi-k2.6 (#18 -> #1).
In Frontend, Kimi-K3 ranked #1 in 6 of 7 domains: Brand & Marketing, Reference-Based Design, Data & Analytics, Consumer Product, Simulations, and Content Creation Tools, landing #2 only in Gaming behind Fable 5.
The full model weights will be released by July 27.
Congrats to the @Kimi_Moonshot team on this major milestone!

My timeline is 50% of Lindsey Graham’s sudden death and 50% of an 81-year-old man being launched in the air by a bison.
I’ll see you all on Monday.

There are 9,780 organizations in the United States that bill Medicaid under code T1019, Personal Care Services.
The top 1% of them, just 98 entities, collected $30.4 billion.
That’s 42.5% of all T1019 spending nationally.
Nine of those entities crossed the billion-dollar threshold individually.
The top 20 alone absorbed $28 billion.
And the geographic concentration will stop you cold: 17 of the top 20 are in New York State. Seven of them are in Brooklyn.
This is not a story about healthcare.
This is a story about industrial-scale wealth extraction from a system designed to serve the most vulnerable Americans.
The elderly.
The disabled.
The homebound.
And the near-complete absence of anyone overseeing the money.

Fed Governor Stephen Miran said the central bank should lower interest rates by more than one percentage point in 2026.

My friend @JaceYarbrough has officially launched his campaign for Congress. Many thanks to all who have made this possible, especially the donors and grassroots folks who urged him to run with their support.

I thought he was a visionary consultant with experience in international business worth multi-million dollar retainer fees.

a homeless redditer > the FBI
🚨 BREAKING: It's been confirmed that a HOMELESS MAN blew the Brown University shooting case "wide open" through a Reddit post, named John
He called the tip line and flagged his OWN Reddit post, and was seen on video walking very close to the shooter
The man might get the $50K reward, and is a former Brown University student
He FOLLOWED the gunman, and asked why the gunman was circling the block. He basically tracked the shooter all by himself, and got the vehicle information.

Pro tip: You don't have to do the media interview. You don't have to talk to anyone. They will say, "We are going to write about you whether you cooperate or not." Who cares. Far worse than some hit piece (which don't even work anymore) is hanging yourself with your own words.
The article published early this morning is a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history.
Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story. I assume, after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team.
The truth is the Trump White House has already accomplished more in eleven months than any other President has accomplished in eight years and that is due to the unmatched leadership and vision of President Trump, for whom I have been honored to work for the better part of a decade.
None of this will stop our relentless pursuit of Making America Great Again!

Today I filed to run for Congress in #TX32 to fight for President Trump's America First agenda in Washington.
I'm a regular American, not a career politician. I’m an unapologetic Christian, Air Force Officer who stood up to the Covid vaccine, husband, and father—and today I’m stepping into the arena because President Trump needs reinforcements in D.C. to help deliver on his promises to the American people.
We are on the verge of securing prosperity and greatness for generations to come, and Congress must rise to the task in carrying out the President’s historic vision.
President Trump needs bold fighters committed to Making America Great Again and delivering tangible victories for the people who elected him. As a Christian, I put God first, and that conviction shapes how I serve and how I fight. As a veteran, I took an oath to defend our nation. As a conservative litigator, I’ve spent my career taking on government-imposed vaccine mandates, job-crushing Green New Deal policies, and the culture of death promoted by radical abortion activists.
I’m a 7th generation Texan—the descendant of a veteran of the Texas Revolution. It’s a legacy that I carry with me each and every day. We will not cede another inch of ground to those bent on destroying the values and spirit that built Texas and the United States.
Let's roll!

From me in @theblaze:
"Amazon doesn’t need Warner Brothers Discovery to survive. It wants the company to force more Americans into its digital universe, dominate an even larger share of the market, and use that dominance to trap users and raise prices."

Re-enfranchising young American men will de-radicalize the vast majority of them.

mostly the misery of social media comes from a sense not only that the world is broken, but that you have to fix it somehow (pointing out absurdities, arguing more forcefully, persuading). alas, you can't fix the world with a post. all you can really do is not be crazy.

VP is correct here, and so was Charlie.
Many of my friends (and former colleagues) in the senate are against eliminating the filibuster because they don't think the Democrats will do it. This is just obviously wrong.
The reason the filibuster exists is because of democratic senators Manchin and Sinema. Both of them had their careers destroyed by the far left for protecting the filibuster, and you better believe every senate Democrat internalized that lesson.
