What an honor to meet up with the brilliant and lovely Morgan Fairchild in Baltimore this afternoon. You may know @morgfair for her prolific acting career, but her interests run from counterterrorism and geopolitics to climate and information warfare. #bigbrains

📄 EXCLUSIVE: In part two of our series on Epstein's influence efforts, we look at the origins of John Brockman's idea of "The Third Culture" and why it was attractive for infiltration. And we reveal a previously unreported attempted large donation! america2.news/part-two-jef...

FBI just notified me that they dropped a bunch of new stuff on Henry Kissinger — first big release since his death nearly two years ago. Warning, file under 'sleep aids' — most of it seems very dull but there may be some gems in there. Happy hunting! vault.fbi.gov/henry-kissin...

I'm hearing from a lot of people who are feeling hopeless and despondent about the state of America and the world. This piece I wrote back in December is evergreen, and is perhaps more important now than ever. "What to Do When There is Nothing to Be Done" america2.news/what-to-do-w...

ICYMI... My new talk from TEDxBerlin asks the question few are willing to face: why is democracy in retreat globally, and what can we do about it? Here's one possible way forward, and we should consider it — before it's too late. america2.news/is-democracy...

📺 NEW TALK: "Is democracy dying?" In the 35 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, democracy has not flourished, even as many predicted it would. My new talk from TEDxBerlin explains why, and offers ideas for what we might do to turn things around. america2.news/is-democracy...

📻 NEW EPISODE: What do you really know about Taiwan? A new book, “Ghost Nation: The Story of Taiwan and its Struggle for Survival” aims to fill the knowledge gap for Western audiences. Dave sits down with the author, Chris Horton. america2.news/podcast-ghos...

Outstanding analytic work here, from #america2.news. TY, @davetroy.com! Graphic sample below from the article (copyright america2.news):

Let's make Jeremy Lewin famous.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: 28-year-old former DOGE staffer Jeremy Lewin appears to be responsible for a defunct State Department bureau's social account which is now amplifying corporate messaging for Elon Musk's X in its ongoing conflict with French prosecutors. america2.news/zombie-state...

📄 EXCLUSIVE: We mapped the entire Epstein-Musk-Trump social network. What we found may surprise you — and one person is threatened most: Donald Trump. america2.news/we-mapped-je...

President Trump said it was "highly unlikely" he would fire Jerome Powell, but also said he discussed the idea with Republican lawmakers who expressed support.

Preliminary network study I'm working on. The notion that Musk is the pure one and only Trump is dirty is highly questionable. Question Musk's claims.

📄 NEW: The debt ceiling has been a source of constant political gamesmanship. Lawmakers are (finally) looking to eliminate it as a source of chaos and uncertainty when it comes up for review again in 2027. My latest. america2.news/lawmakers-ey...

Trump’s announcement on Russia/Ukraine is not significant. 1) we’re not paying for weapons, we are selling them to NATO, 2) secondary 100% tariffs isolate the US from Russia sphere of influence, a strategic goal for Putin, 3) 50 day window provides pretext for attack escalation.

Personally I think it would be hilarious if MTG and friends call for a 9/11-style "Congressional Commission on Epstein Truth." Publish the big fat report and everything. Let's go all in, if we're doing this. Will keep them busy and from doing other real damage. 😂

“Earlier this year, America 2.0 learned from a source that neo-fascist blogger Curtis Yarvin had specifically recommended targeting Congress next. Musk's plan is aligned with that advice.” nazi musk’s #Americaparty america2.news/as-trump-fai...

Oh thank God that @davetroy.com has written about the obvious Kremlin fingerprints on Elon’s ridiculous third party gambit, so I don’t have to. Artem TOLD MUSK TO DO IT PUBLICLY ffs. This is not a legitimate endeavor.

Both Putin and Elon are dissatisfied with Trump, so the focus is going to change to Congress. And Musk is basically just a frontman for a larger group of interests. We're under attack from so many different directions. Read this for more insight.

📄 NEW: "As Trump Fails to Deliver, Russia Looks to Musk's America Party for Leverage" While Donald Trump has shown deference to the Putin regime, Moscow is turning to Musk to help close the gap on their most important policy goals. My latest. america2.news/as-trump-fai...

Omar Ward (aka "jj smith") hit with restraining order. San Francisco provocateur, promoted by "conservative figures like Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan," left a creepy note on a local journalist's van. The van's tires were also slashed that night. missionlocal.org/2025/07/jj-s...

🚨Massie now says he has 10 votes to block Trump's Big Bill; Musk and RU propaganda apparatus are lined up behind him. This means BBB WILL NOT PASS until his faction is appeased. Dems must propose a CLEAN DEBT CEILING BILL now!

📄 NEW: Elon Musk threatens Republicans and Democrats with promise to create the "America Party" if Trump's Big Bill is passed. Here's what that might look like, and why Pakistan may be up next for "denuclearization." My latest. america2.news/libertarian-...

Is Trump picking a fake fight with Putin to look tough? Will bombing Iran permanently fracture his MAGA coalition? @davetroy.com breaks it down! He joins my podcast, "Politics With Cheri Jacobus" www.patreon.com/c/PoliticsWi...

Libertarian/Russia GOP now likely to try to speed-run the Kubler-Ross stages of grief and come up with reasons why Trump should be allowed “this one time” exemption in order to finally “end all wars.” But it will take some serious mental gymnastics.

If you want to understand the pretzel logic of Trump’s “now is the time for peace” statement, this piece provides the historical background. america2.news/will-trumps-...

📄 NEW: If Trump decides to participate in a direct attack on Iran, he risks permanently fracturing the fragile MAGA coalition that has formed the base of his support — and it's already breaking apart. My latest. america2.news/will-trumps-...

WSJ journalist Bojan Pancevski “summed up the situation succinctly: ‘There is a non-interventionist axis atop of the US [govt] including Vance, Musk & Gabbard…Now Musk is out and Trump publicly & privately distanced himself somewhat from Gabbard.” By @davetroy.com 1/ america2.news/will-trumps-...

Very thoughtful piece by always excellent Dave Troy👇

Insightful piece..

Democrats need to get up to speed on crypto and understand it as nothing less than a threat to the rule of law, and nation states themselves. There is no 'political compromise' to be had here. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/o...

Great video. It’s not said explicitly, but which reserve currency we accept decides human rights & science for the world. For those who believe in TESCREAL ideas,human rights & scientific ethics/ norms r seen as barriers to innovation,barriers to the order they think the world needs to be in. 1/2

“Trump has to decide whether to serve himself or to serve Putin. And the Kremlin is making it clear that he has only one choice. Should he make the wrong decision, impeachment or the 25th amendment await.” Reality can’t be reduced to a soundbite, so buckle up! 👇

Excellent article. As usual, @davetroy.com tracks and explains the connections that are beneath the surface tantrums.

The factions: Russia, China, Musk, Trump, Congress, and the Far Right, All exert pressure on the U.S., democracy, and each of us. Each faction is trying to leverage the pressure exerted. The factions have common goals, even if they don't have common cause. #MustRead From @davetroy.com

📄 NEW: The Trump-Musk conflict represents a much larger set of interests that runs from Kyiv to Los Angeles, and will become a major issue as Russia struggles to achieve its strategic war goals. My latest. america2.news/the-trump-mu...
