Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Do not give in.
MITCH MCCONNELL
Intentionally concealing the death of a U.S. senator to manipulate legislative business or the succession process could expose those involved to serious federal criminal charges. No one gets to hide a death for political gain.
Senator Mitch McConnell’s current Chief of Staff is Terry Carmack.
As Chief of Staff, he earns roughly $226,000–$230,000 per year.
He has declined to answer questions about McConnell’s condition the last 40 days. Is he conspiring to hide the truth from Kentucky voters?
ESSAY How to Report to Law Enforcement Legally
Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR § 164.512), a healthcare worker can disclose protected health information (PHI) to law enforcement under specific conditions:
Good Faith Belief of a Crime: A worker can disclose PHI if they believe in good faith that the information is evidence of a crime that occurred on the hospital’s premises.
Alerting Police to a Death: If the staff believes a patient’s death or total incapacitation is the result of criminal conduct, they are permitted to notify law enforcement.
HIPAA also contains a specific whistleblower provision (45 CFR § 164.502(j)(1)). A healthcare employee is legally protected if they disclose PHI to:
•A federal or state health oversight agency
•A health care accreditation organization
•An attorney retained by the employee to determine their legal options

Stephanie @stephmase22 HOW TO BECOME A BILLIONAIRE
If we could sell Billions of counterfeit securities we could become a Billionaire.
Counterfeiting is illegal yet it’s allowed in the Stock Market.
Selling securities that have not been issued by the company is counterfeiting their currency. It artificially dilutes the float destroying shares price and the companies ability to raise capital.
Many companies are noticing and taking action against firms like Citadel Securities, Virtu Financial, Anson Funds, and Jane Street.
Judges are starting to see a pattern because there are many companies not just one showing the evidence of spoofing and price manipulation in their trading data.
NWBO MMTLP GNS AABB QNTM ABAXX are some of the companies taking action against the manipulation of their Stock.

MAPPED: 70 Percent of Trump’s Cabinet Tied to Project 2025 Groups
More than 50 high-level Trump administration officials have links to groups behind the Heritage Foundation-backed plan, a DeSmog analysis found.
The numbers are staggering: 17 of 24 cabinet-level officials have links to Project 2025 groups.
“That’s a hugely significant finding,” says Duke University’s Nancy MacLean. “In Heritage’s own longtime language, ‘personnel is policy.’”
https://x.com/DeSmog/status/1929854135634907385/photo/1
VP JD Vance leads the pack with ties to at least 5 different Project 2025 groups. He even wrote the foreword to Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts’ book.
In 2021: “Fire every civil servant in the administrative state. Replace them with our people.”
OMB Director Russell Vought—a key Project 2025 architect—authored the plan’s central chapter on executive power. His vision: “break the bureaucracy to presidential will.”
He’s wasted no time implementing it.We found THREE additional centers of influence that appeared separate from Project 2025 but are actually deeply connected:
🔸 Convention of States
🔸 America First Policy Institute
🔸 DOGE
!!!! EPSTEIN ADMITS HE GETS CHILDREN FOR SEX SENT TO HIS ISLAND!!
your friend told me about the project she’s doing researching a really bad guy that gets children for sex sent to his island,
“SHE ALMOST FAINTED WHEN I TOLD HER THAT PERSON IS ME”
In this email, Epstein straight up admits he is the person who gets children for sex sent to his island. This is it.
There’s the admission. No questions. No conspiracy. This is real from the DOJ Website. The original email is searchable at epsteinsearch.info Search “Aleszea” or “that person is me” — 293,000+ declassified documents, all searchable.
Jeffrey Epstein’s office was funding a reception for Stacey Plaskett. “To whom we are to send the contribution for Stacey Plaskett,” his assistant wrote, July 17, 2018. Epstein was a registered sex offender. Plaskett represents the Virgin Islands in Congress.
Jes Staley visited Jeffrey Epstein in Palm Beach while Epstein was on work release, and turns up again and again in his emails.
The JPMorgan executive also went to the island and the New Mexico ranch.
Staley sits for a closed-door Oversight interview today. Not under oath.

BITCOIN ESSAY Cory @ SWAN
Bitcoin does not work because of “trust.”.
It works because anyone, anywhere, can verify.
You don’t need to trust Mike Novogratz. You don’t need to trust me. You don’t need to trust “the community.”
YOU can run the software yourself. YOU can verify the supply. YOU can verify the rules. YOU can verify every transaction that has ever settled.
That is the entire point of Bitcoin.
It is NOT a shared belief system. It is not dependent on some collective story holding together. It is a monetary network made stronger by every additional individual who independently arrives at the rational conclusion that Bitcoin is the superior form of money.
The “community” is just the secondary effect of that individual discovery process. The primary thing is the verification. That’s what makes it antifragile. That’s what makes it different from every other asset Novogratz ever blew up trading.
Until more tradfi people actually understand this distinction, they’re going to keep reducing Bitcoin to the same trust-based frameworks that failed us in the first place.
