I woke up this morning to find out @elonmusk is supporting my re-election!
Elon’s purchase of Twitter and cultivation of the X platform for free speech has already helped my cause immensely. It’s allowed me to bypass conventional media to refute the lies of both political parties and to provide transparency about how Congress works and what’s actually inside of the bills we vote on.
Exposing the worst parts of the Big Beautiful Bill and reasserting Congressional War Powers has recently earned me the ire of the swamp and a fight for my re-election, but my re-election isn’t really about either of those issues specifically. It’s a referendum on whether members of Congress can think and act independently based on what’s best for the country, or whether all members of congress must be reduced to rubber stamps for their respective political parties and swampy special interests.
I’m extremely thankful to have Elon Musk’s financial assistance to continue my mission as an independent voice in Congress for my constituents.

This is not our war.
But if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution.
I’m introducing a bipartisan War Powers Resolution tomorrow to prohibit our involvement.
I invite all members of Congress to cosponsor this resolution.

I keep hearing: “Easy for you to preach, Bryan. You’re already rich. Sacrificing health is the price of success.”
That's incorrect. Had I protected my body and brain, I’d be wealthier and more successful today. I would’ve also skipped a decade of tortuous depression.
I'm trying to help you avoid the same mistake. Culture is lying to you. You do not need to martyr yourself to be successful. You will be more successful if you prioritize your health.
Health is your compound-interest engine behind every other asset:
+ better decisions: sleep-restricted CEOs make 29% more risky errors in lab simulations.
▸ greater output: cardiorespiratory-fit workers log 2 extra productive hours per week.
▸ emotional stability: consistent exercise cuts depressive symptoms by ~25 % across 97 RCTs.
You only get one body and one brain. Run it down and you have nothing to work with. Burn it out and you're out of the game.
Health is your greatest asset. It's what allows you to work, reason, problem solve and persist. It enables a stable mood, clearheadedness, and good judgment.
Poor health leads to emotional turbulence, bad decision making, less energy, addictions, and sadness.
Health is forgotten until it's the only thing that matters.
You do not need to do what I do. I am trying to make a point of being the first Don't Die human prototype. I'm learning everything I can about ideal health and passing the learnings onto you.
You can do a fraction of what I do and get the majority of the benefits.
Here they are:
1. Make sleep your #1 life priority. Build your life around it.
2. Lower your resting heart rate before bed. You'll learn that which increases your RHR before bed is bad for you and that which lowers your RHR before bed is good for you. I've written a lot about the specifics you can do. Look it up.
3. Exercise every single day. Even if a 20-30 minute walk. Make it a habit. Never skip a day.
4. Build life systems and habits. Don't let your mind decide. You'll nearly always make the wrong decision in the moment.
5. Eat good things and avoid addictive things.
6. Prioritize relationships.
You can be ambitions AF and also be healthy. Culture is wrong in telling you that success is only achievable by martyring oneself. That's foolish.
Now do the right thing and go exercise and get to bed on time tonight. As you start feeling better, your ambitions will grow with your health status.
Trial it and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Greta Thunberg's transformation, or coming-of-age politically (sorry if I sound condescending, this is really how I see it), is so encouraging.
As an iconic generational figure, her changed focus, from abstract 'climate' to humanity and social justice, tells us that, at least in Europe, the youth may be waking up from a long slumber and reclaiming the genuine radical-left position: that of equality before everything else, and an undying commitment to end all forms of subjugation.
For many years, I believed that the focus on climate was not only a big mistake, but a ruse by establishments and big money to keep the political discourse essentially apolitical. Greta became an international star as capitalism, colonialism, and white supremacy strengthened their chokehold over humanity's neck. I thought pretty much the same about gender, by the way.
If we don't take colonialism and the war culture head-on, every other discourse will be made irrelevant by them.
If we don't tackle the militarization of police forces around the world, or the proliferation of massive surveillance, censorship, and coercion mechanisms, it won't matter that we call ourselves this it that pronoun, or recycle. It just helps power to neutralize society.
So when Greta embraces Palestine - the most simple, humane, analog cause of our days, the one all establishments hate and conspire against, I see this as a hugely encouraging sign that Gaza's genocide has helped bring back people from realms of tokenism and self-image to the actual blood, sweat and tears of a political struggle for equality and freedom.
Palestine has everything it takes to become the leading international symbol of human humanity in its war against the corporatist, computerized, elitist, data-centered, capitalist-colonialist classes and their fascist friends.
In her new phase, Greta shows young people the world over the right way forward: humanity, solidarity, Palestine. We are fortunate to have her, and need to work day and night to make this movement bigger and stronger. Humanity's future, quite literally, depends on it

The military industrial complex demands about $50 billion per year in war. As soon as we quit spending $50b per year in Afghanistan, we started spending $50b per year in Ukraine. Watch where the next $50b per year goes when we stop sending it to Ukraine. The MIC is always hungry.
Fox News is wall to wall with dead-eyed politicians telling you that Iran is a dangerous “sponsor of terror.” Softening up the base for a war. But what exactly does that phrase mean, and how does it apply to the United States? Here’s one measure: over the past twenty years, how many Americans have been killed by Iran on American soil? Try to find that number, and then compare it to the number of Americans killed by drug ODs. Or suicide. Or illegal aliens. Or carjackings, diabetes and the Covid vax. Still think Iran is the greatest threat? How about we focus on our own country for a minute.

You become financially free the moment you stop worrying about money.
And the crazy part is - in the developed world - food and shelter are nearly guaranteed.
Which means you become financially free the moment you decide you are.

You’re broke because all you do is chase money.
You don’t love the game.
You don’t research about memecoins.
You get too emotional with your money invested.
All you want is the end goal (financial freedom) but don’t embrace the journey.
Start attracting instead of chasing
