not a bad ad… and… as a decade long alum 🍏 engr, the first thing I noticed when Steve was gone from Apple? the ads dropped off in quality of story telling by a significant margin, always loved this one: youtu.be/Og637tBf91s?is=poOH…
Excited to share our new holiday ad, a heartwarming story about the gift of creativity!

one can count the number of people who know Jensen well, who have simply said, “I know him well. He is my friend.”.. on less than one hand 🇺🇸

Hallelujah … FINALLY someone in Congress stepping forward and acting like the adult in the room! Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “Today I referred any and every criminal found guilty of fraud regarding Minnesota fraud scheme to be denaturalized and sent for detainment in El Salvador’s high security prison CECOT.” “U.S. citizenship is a privilege not a right, and according to legal statute any person found guilty of fraud within the first ten years of being naturalized can be legally denaturalized.” “I take defrauding the American people VERY seriously. This is a ZERO tolerance policy."

Just learned that the social security database is not de-duplicated, meaning you can have the same SSN many times over, which further enables MASSIVE FRAUD!! Your tax dollars are being stolen.
To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following: - Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible. - All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING! - The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily. The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from @DOGE. It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already! Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious. When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!! This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.

If Republicans want to win again, take a page from @ByronDonalds’ grassroots playbook. For 21 months, he showed up to every corner of Florida, listened to voters, and offered real solutions. No television ad can ever match a personal, face-to-face conversation.

🚨BREAKING: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is reportedly gearing up to REVOKE the tax-exempt status of nonprofits including George Soros' Open Society Foundations, CAIR, and the Southern Poverty Law Center. And it could come with massive CIVIL PENALTIES and back taxes. For decades, these political operations have masqueraded as "charities" while living tax-free on the American dime. - Open Society pushes open borders, funds radical prosecutors, and bankrolls NGOs that sue America for enforcing immigration law. - SPLC slanders conservative and Christian groups as "hate groups" to get them deplatformed. - CAIR has been cited by federal prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in U.S. history. And you, the taxpayer, have been subsidizing it. According to the NY Post, Treasury and IRS are drawing up a sweeping audit under President Trump's 2025 executive order targeting nonprofits operating with a "substantial illegal purpose" — financing political violence and organized radical action. Bessent's inner circle is drafting the blueprint to strip 501(c)(3) status, which would force them to pay the 21% corporate tax rate like every real business. If taxed at 21% for 2024 alone: - Soros network would owe $163.6 MILLION - SPLC: $354,000 - 17 CAIR chapters: $860,000 - Combined total: ∼$165 MILLION in taxes they dodged Treasury officials are "like a dog with a bone" on this, sources say. Many of these groups are "on borrowed time." This was made possible by Trump's memorandum "Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence" that directs the IRS to ensure no tax-exempt entities are financing political violence. Bessent put it bluntly: "We are examining where tax exempt status has been exploited, where charitable entities have become financial conduits for foreign influence... and have enabled violence." The ultimate irony? Bessent used to be Soros' own chief investment officer. Now he's the man dismantling the Soros empire. It's about time.

One Democrat that might actually be trustworthy has emerged. He'll pay a price, no doubt.
I can’t believe a Democrat is already exposing his own party like this Don Leonard, the Democrat who just won Ohio’s 15th District, says senior House Democrats warned him what happens if he won’t back Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker: “Making my life a living heII for the next two years here in Washington as well as being sure to lose my election” He says they “expect you to wear the team jersey” and “be a good team player” They don’t want representatives, they want obedience
