ESSAY Mike Levin @MikeLevin

Kratom is a plant from Asia that hits the same brain receptors as opioids. People take it for energy or pain. It can be addictive and it can kill.

People buy it at gas stations, with no age check and no honest label.

Markwayne Mullin owns up to a million dollars in a kratom company. Then he stood at an FDA podium and pushed rules to crush that company’s rivals. He never sold the stock.

The company was founded by a felon who stole $10 million and did prison time. His kratom shots are tied to liver damage, seizures, and death. The stuff showed up in 5,200 overdose deaths in five years. A 27 year old grad student took it for six weeks and died. His mother says a real ban would have saved him.

You cannot make this up. The same company paid a Trump connected lobbyist $600,000.

Then the payoff. The Justice Department dropped its lawsuit. The FDA scrubbed the warnings off its website. RFK Jr. called Ohio’s governor to kill a state ban. And the company wired a million dollars to a PAC tied to Kennedy.

This is the swamp they swore to drain. It is worse than ever before.

Feeling exhausted from News overload

ESSAY Drey @thedreydossier

The Dialog story is the epitome of accountability being replaced by exposure.

Exposure feels like accountability, sure. You’ve got names, leaked documents, and secret networks- but it only is accountability if someone with power to act on it actually does. When nobody acts, when nothing changes, exposure is just content. And the audience has been trained to experience the exposure itself as the resolution. You saw the list. You felt the outrage. Story complete. The fact that nothing happened doesn’t register as a failure because the consumption loop already closed.

What that produces is a population that is genuinely exhausted, genuinely engaged, and genuinely powerless because every story is framed as something to feel about rather than something to understand well enough to act on.

–//–

The gap between information and action has never been wider, and the media ecosystem is almost perfectly designed to keep it that way.

The DOJ is 181 days past its legal deadline to release the full Epstein files.

If the government needs a warrant to search your house, it should need a warrant to search your messages. The Constitution didn’t come with a digital loophole. — No warrant, no deal. It’s time to reform FISA 702.

EPSTEIN EXPOSED

Ari Ben-Menashe, ex-Israeli intelligence officer:
Netanyahu holds unseen Epstein files on U.S. officials to kill any Iran deal. EFTA00149476 had this before anyone else. Ghislaine and Epstein ran a British-intelligence blackmail enterprise. The files had this the whole time.

EFTA00149476
All,
Over the past 90 days I know there has been some discussion regarding the need to turn over appropriate documents, from the MM WPBRA investigation of Epstein, to the SDNY.
We are now on a very short timeline as we plan to indict Epstein next Tuesday. While the arrest date will depend on his travel back into the US (he’s currently OCONUS), we need to get the docs to SDNY

ESSAY

Europe is making financial privacy a crime, one door at a time.

Cash payments over €10,000 are now banned.
Starting in 2027, regulated crypto platforms will have to staple your ID to your Bitcoin transactions.
Gold, for now, you can still buy quietly.
Cash, the original peer-to-peer money, capped.
Bitcoin bought through an exchange, tagged to your passport.
The state isn’t outlawing these tools. Its making sure it always knows exactly who is holding them and where the money went.
Here is the part the rule can’t reach. The mandate lives at the regulated platform, the company that already custodies your coins for you. It stops at the edge of self-custody. They can demand ID at the exchange door.
They can’t put a customer ID form on a private key, because there is no company on the other side to serve the order to.
Same week, America is floating zero capital gains on Bitcoin while Europe criminalizes spending it privately. Countries are now competing for your savings on how little they surveil them.
Move your coins to a wallet you control while the door is still open.

EDUCATION

Senator Patty Murray
Trump wants to put RFK Jr., the guy who said “autism destroys families” in charge of special education for K-12 students with disabilities—absolutely NOT.

HEALTH

NYT: A major flu outbreak has sickened nearly 160 troops at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas weeks after Defense Secretary Hegseth announced that U.S. troops would no longer be required to be vaccinated for the flu, defense officials said.
The Flu killed more U.S Soldiers in WWI than combat did. It devastated our troops & spread throughout the battlegrounds like the plague. The flu vaccine saved our troops from the same deadly catastrophe during WWII. Pete Hegseth & the anti-vaxxers are morons.

SOCIAL SECURITY

No one making over $182K pays another penny into Social Security for the rest of the year!
That’s why it’s running dry.
It’s income inequality, not the program itself.
Corrupt Republicans created that loophole & now they want to cut your benefits.
Mike Johnson #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Harry Truman 1952

1952 Justice Earl Warren

They NEED you to believe socialism
is the source of all evil.

Because the day everyone gets military-like benefits, who is still going to sign up for the military?
And that is bad news for the defense lobbyists.

And universal healthcare is bad news for healthcare insurance lobbyists.

And universal university is bad news for student debt lobbyists.

And universal childcare is bad news for the ones who want women pregnant in the kitchen instead of competing with them in the job market.

JUSTICE WARREN BURGER

Trump staffing cuts left Social Security at near 50‑year lows, with closed offices & endless waits.
Republicans underfund the agency, then call it “dysfunctional” to justify more cuts.
That’s sabotage.
Fund SSA & protect every earned benefit. #HandsOffSocialSecurity #USDemocracy
