Yes, I will be Postmaster General someday. Attorney, FIRE, TPA. Views are my own and do not represent organizations I am affiliated with.
Zohran Mamdani's successor, visiting an H-E-B in Texas in 2034:
Despite a recent $750k taxpayer subsidy, the shelves at Kansas City's government-run grocery store are "almost bare." It also lost $885k last year and is, unsurprisingly, hemorrhaging customers.
But I thought the government assured us identity verification is safe, and requiring it is only a minor impediment to accessing Constitutionally protected speech online?
Age verification is going great, everyone. Glad we're normalizing uploading your ID and face scans everywhere. Customers and users don't know to check the age verifier. When you normalize the upload, you normalize breaches and hacks.
TLDR the Tea app stores everyone's photo and ID enuncrypted in a public firebase storage bucket. Hahahahahah. Was this vibe coded?
Republicans for welfare.
I will introduce legislation in the Senate to send a rebate check to every working person in America
.@fnalbergo: Project Safe Delivery initiative to stop mail theft is “a PR campaign, long on talking points and short on deterrence." At the very least, let postal police patrol mail routes.

After years of demanding more diversity in drug trials, @US_FDA is now rejecting drugs for too much diversity in trials. You can't make this up. @ATabarrok fiercebiotech.com/biotech/replim…
Three ways @USPS + @USPIS_HQ can fight crime: ✉️Allow postal police to patrol routes ✉️Stop mission creep of inspectors fighting cybercrime ✉️Clarify that mail carriers can defend themselves

There's a lot to like here. But first and foremost, it is refreshing to see the admin step away from the pessimism that was reigning in AI policy the last couple of years. A lot of focusing on how to get AI right, instead of how not to get it wrong.
Today the @WhiteHouse released America’s AI Action Plan to win the global race. We need to OUT-INNOVATE our competitors, BUILD AI & energy infrastructure, & EXPORT American AI around the world. Visit AI.gov
When people can sell plasma, they commit fewer property crimes and become less reliant on high-interest loans.

Recent EU regulations in the digital sector. 640 pages. Good luck complying with it.
AI is changing the way we consume news, and that could be a good thing! My latest in @RSI !
"When AI tools furnish concise summaries of current events or intricate subjects, users may be liberated from the incessant scrolling through headlines and sensationalized, often politically biased news content. This potentially enables the allocation of cognitive resources to…
I got so tired of debunking the same 10 arguments against free speech over and over… I finally said, “Fine. Nadine and I will just put the answers in one place.” That place is called The War on Words. It’s out TODAY.
The @USPS is spending $80k for each new electric truck, despite losing $9.5 billion last year.
The American people should not be responsible for any administration’s outrageous spending—no taxation without representation. armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/cli…
And yet...they're buying $80k "advanced" trucks that aren't being delivered, can't keep identity thieves out of Informed Delivery, and can't secure our mail. theverge.com/report/709749/…
To @NALC_National, any halfway-decent postal proposal is "handing America’s mail system over to corporate interests." If the @USPS was more like @FedEx and @UPS, it wouldn't be losing $9.5 billion/yr. politico.com/news/2025/07/1…
Really incredible work by @DanielSavickas @davidbmcgarry and @JuanMLondonoR crafting this model legislation. protectingtaxpayers.org/taxes/taxing-b…
ACA regs like the premium ratio + preventive services mandate hike prices and make taxpayer subsidies more expensive. Result: any attempt to scale back subsidies ➡️ way higher prices. thehill.com/policy/healthc…
As the quotable @DanielSavickas pointed out, we're not in a world war and the "war on terror" has died down. Why are we spending all this money on defense? thehill.com/business/budge…
