Big announcement: you can now invest in TRADEFUNDED on Republic. To be clear, this isn't the launch of the trading service. That's still coming. Today we're opening something different: the chance for our community to invest in TRADEFUNDED itself. From day one, we've built this company around a simple idea: a qualification should mean something. We're building a Direct-to-Live model, our own proprietary trading technology with Tachyon, and a business we believe should succeed by developing successful traders, not by keeping them stuck in an endless cycle of simulated accounts, resets and fees. We also chose to do something we haven't seen a retail prop firm do: let the people who trade with us own a piece of the firm. This community showed up before we'd sold a single exam, so we wanted you at the table as owners, not just customers. We've got a lot more to show you in the coming weeks as we get closer to the TRADEFUNDED launch. Thank you to everyone who's been here early. Getting this ready took a lot of work, and it's a big milestone for us.

In 1994, a 17-year-old Boy Scout named David Hahn tried to build a nuclear reactor in his mother's garden shed in Michigan. He came closer than anyone expected. After earning a merit badge in Atomic Energy, David became obsessed with building his own breeder reactor. He had no way to get real nuclear fuel, so he improvised. He pulled americium out of hundreds of smoke detectors, scraped radium off antique clocks, and took thorium from camping lanterns. To learn how to assemble it all, he wrote letters to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, pretending to be a science teacher. It never became a working reactor. But by the summer of 1994, the radiation in the shed was 1,000 times higher than normal, and could be detected several houses away. David realized he had lost control. He took the reactor apart and loaded it into his car. But local police, responding to a report of suspicious activity, searched his trunk. He warned them that some of the material was radioactive. The FBI, the EPA, and a federal nuclear emergency team were called in. Ten months later, men in protective suits tore down the shed and buried it in the Utah desert as radioactive waste. David refused to be tested for exposure. His life fell apart after that. His mother died two years later. He joined the Navy and served on a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but was banned from going near the reactors. He was later diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. In 2007, he was arrested again. He had been stealing smoke detectors from his apartment building. David Hahn died in 2016, at 39. The autopsy found alcohol and fentanyl in his system. It had nothing to do with radiation.

Why won’t Turning Point USA publicly acknowledge the alleged text message leak from Charlie Kirk to Dan Flood? Andrew Wilson is not a party to the text messages as he did not know Charlie at all. Can @MrsErikaKirk or @AndrewKolvet confirm their authenticity? If not, the pubic is right to assume they are completely fake.

My bad… I must have misunderstood what Candace meant when I asked her if she had “a receipt” and she replied “stay tuned. :)” I didn’t realize what she meant was “stay tuned… *for nothing*. How silly of me. So you have not released the unredacted receipt @RealCandaceO. That’s what I thought. Just wanted to check.
