🚨Thread of Threads on Supply Chains and US Response During COVID-19 At the request of many readers, I'm compiling and pinning a master thread of all the long-form information I've prepared since the emergence of COVID-19. New threads will be appended to this as I write them.
This problem isn't going away. It was a mature challenge when I started working this problem set in 2019 or so, and only accelerated after years of inattention by USG. So while it's hopeful and welcome news to see DoD and USDA begin addressing it, the rot runs deep and is…
China's land grab in Michigan isn't just about farms - it's a threat to our economy, security, and food supply. In my @detroitnews op-ed, I lay out the risks and my plan as Michigan’s AG to stop it: investigate CCP ties, bar risky buys, and support farmers detroitnews.com/story/opinion/…
May I suggest an epic metal song about the birth of our Lord and Savior?
My parents didn’t let us listen to Metal. Was devil worshipping music. Hard to see how they were wrong. Pantera used pentagrams. Even if “ironic,” or “art,” it’s demonic symbolism. Later in life I tried. Couldn’t stomach it. Made me physically ill. It’s the sound of demons.
His name will be celebrated by millions of people for years after his death. Yours has never, and will never, be known - and takes like this are exactly why.
So Hulk Hogan died. As a former Gawker writer (as are all Gawker writers thanks to Hulk Hogan), I won't be the first or the last to say 'fuck that guy.' Dance on any grave you want to, but this one's mine.
One of the all-time great rock songs, and it's inspired by Jason Bourne, no less.
Rest in Peace George Kooymans. The name may not be familiar in the US, but his band Golden Earring was fantastic. And I know you all know this banger he wrote. Twilight Zone
We walk in the garden of @GeneHamiltonUSA's turbulence.
WRECKED. Hirono: Has any court said that DEI is unconstitutional? Yes or no? Hamilton: Yes. Hirono: Which court? Hamilton: The United States Supreme Court. Hirono: I disagree with you… Hamilton: You can go read it yourself. 🔥🔥🔥
On Mark Warner and the new DoD-led effort to address the issue of Chinese ownership of US farmland.
To give you an idea of how seriously Sen. Warner takes national security: SSCI under Warner's tenure at the helm ignored about 50 pages of direct, actionable evidence of a Chinese company's co-opting of state-level Republican leaders to build a large industrial operation less…
Dear friends in tech. This is not acceptable. Fix it, or be forced to.
Just went through the numbers on Tech layoffs and it’s so much worse than you can imagine. 75,000 jobs cut year to date, close to 40% increase YoY from an already sky-high number in 2024. Meanwhile H-1B petitions hit the yearly cap in 6 months and 82% of all new tech jobs have…
Pretty on-brand to just repeat the same point over and over.
Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job.
I have a theory that 50-80% of CCP technical “advances” are simply stolen U.S. research. Cut them off at the pass.
Now scrub every UARC, prime, sub, NRL, etc. Foreign nationals (particularly from PRC) embedding themselves into foundational and advanced research programs has been a known threat vector for decades - and is likely one of the largest counterintelligence failures in our history.
The more they try and make it into an 'economic zone', the less money everyone seems to have.
The United States is a nation, not an economic zone.
Attention: DARPA is changing its name to DERPa due to how retarded their foreign national mitigation strategies are for fundamental research. TLDR: they don’t record the nationalities or citizenships of their grad student participants. DERP!

It’s a long read, but this is a WILD press release from @USAttyEssayli office re: the prosecution of a dual US/Chinese citizen in SoCal who stole trade secret technology developed for use by the U.S. military to detect nuclear missile launches, transferring 3,600+ files to USBs.
Firing from the hip as I'm out of the ag industry, but it sounds like a vitamin or mineral deficiency (manganese, D3, maybe something else) in the layers' diets. Could be supply chain disruptions, rushing layers back into production to get more eggs onto shelves after the avian…
Random: Eggs are real weird lately. Tried to boil 3 dozen eggs on different occasions and not only they don’t peel like normal, the yolks are smaller 🤔
BREAKING: Trump admin catches dual Chinese-American trying to steal U.S. missile detection tech.

WNBA made ~$200M last year. In-N-Out did ~$1.8B in revenues. Build a product and experience that customers love, and it will show up at every level.
Fun Fact: The average In-N-Out store manager has a higher salary than a WNBA player.
If abdicating your birthright as a citizen for a life of comfort appeals to you, please do it as fast as you can - preferably before the census. The rest of us have work to do.
It's been nice knowing you, @HardPass4. You were a great gun and will be dearly missed.
I’ve never had one of these but I hear good things.
Good: swing is finally rounding into form after years off, with my timing coming back and two solid doubles today Great: new team doesn't hate me, secured first place in the league today, and got the first round bye for playoffs Bad: tweaked my hammy legging out the first…
