Donald Trump, Jr.'s VC firm invested in a startup that produces rare-earth magnets for military equipment.
Months later, the Pentagon awarded the company a $620M loan.
Remember that Don Jr. also has a stake in a drone company that recently received defense contracts.
Coincidence? Or corruption?
Good news!

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

María Corina Machado wins the Nobel Peace Prize for her work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela
Happy Nobel Peace Prize day to all who celebrate! 🕊️
In a brilliant and well deserved move, an (1) antifa (2) Latina (3) woman, María Corina Machado, wins for her work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela.
By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.
More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

Peace and democracy are a movement. 🕊️
'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize
So deserving. Congratulations to an incredible thinkpeace "girl"-- she doesn't just think peace, she creates it and shares it. 🕊️

I have a feeling someone may need this today.
This is a time that will try all our souls. We must let our friends & family know we see them, we value them & we will stand up to protect everyone’s right to be themselves.
Take a deep breath.
Look around.

Do it.
Take another deep breath.
