🚨DOGE FAM MUST SEE THIS🚨 I actually went to Tesla Diner first day to ask them if they accept DOGECOIN! 👇

The Texas Senate is now hearing their bill to ban hemp (again), SB5.🤦‍♂️ Why does the Austin swamp keep trying to turn Texas into a nanny state and ban things Trump protected like hemp and vapes? The government is not your parent! I will continue fighting for liberty. Excerpt

Today’s senate hearing on SB5 and banning hemp derived THC in Texas has made one thing glaringly apparent, Texas politicians are deeply funded by the alcohol industry. Texas politicians spending hours preaching the dangers of THC, yet there’s no mention of the addiction, health

Representative James Talarico went on the Joe Rogan podcast and revealed that Lt. Gov Dan Patrick held multiple live saving bills hostage, all in order to get his THC ban bill passed in the Texas senate. Bills that could’ve saved the lives of Texans had they not been held

Never has there been a more uninformed misguided and thus dangerous FDA Commissioner than Dr. Marty Makary. His beliefs on vaping are ignorant and based on lies. He needs to be stopped. Some examples from his interview today not including all his FALSE statements about a youth vaping

"It’s time for a pragmatic revision of the Doggett Amendment-one that empowers U.S. agencies to share evidence, not industry marketing, and helps the world’s smokers access safer alternatives." nicotineinsider.com/2025/07/02/yac…

It's always worthwhile to read Joe Nocera's words on this topic. thefp.com/p/time-to-clea…

Amazing how quick they pivot... Where the $$$ goes, so does PAVe.

US states are passing nicotine vape 'flavor' restrictions willy-nilly, supposedly to protect teens (ignoring the FACT teen nicotine vaping is now at a 10-year low). cdc.gov/media/releases… tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/early/… Different state policies create a "natural experiment..." 1/2 👇

"Within 3 months [our community drug research] advisory group lost 3 out of 8 members to smoking-related diseases." Yet as vaping is vilified, "a change would be admission of failure & public health institutions fear this above all else." By Dr Mark Tyndall: filtermag.org/need-vapes-why…

New VTA Ad Campaign Reminds Trump of Promise to "Save Vaping" The vaping industry group will spend more than $1 million to run ads encouraging the Trump administration to rein in "rogue" bureaucrats at the FDA. ow.ly/8MnA50WqcCh

🚨 NEW RESOURCE: 50-State Tobacco Harm Reduction Profiles! ✅ Smoking & vaping rates ✅ Youth use trends ✅ State tobacco tax revenues 🧠 Based on CDC BRFSS data, compiled by Lindsey Stroud since 2020. 🔗 thr101.org/state-profiles #THR101 #TobaccoHarmReduction #SmokeFreeFuture

🔎 Truly appalling comments from Dr. Marty Makary in this interview just released by @Politico. We hate to say it but anyone who regards this as the way to "save flavored vaping," as the president promised, might need a check-up from the neck up. Transcript below 1/🪡

It is irresponsible for FDA Commissioner to claim "we have a child vaping epidemic." What we DO have is a 70% drop in teen use to a 10-year low. Dr. Marty Makary is, demonstrably, misinforming the public by claiming "epidemic." cdc.gov/media/releases…

He must have missed Brian King's statement in 2022 that there is NO vaping epidemic. And youth vaping rates have fallen significantly since. He is so misinformed & misguided it is scary! He sees no issue destroying 1,000s of vaping businesses & intends to do so. Donald J. Trump

7.4% of US kids now vape intoxicating THC (and increasing). 5.9% of US kids vape non-intoxicating nicotine (and decreasing). So it's VERY strange that the public and policymakers are more alarmed about the latter. NOTE: THC vs. nicotine vaping involve entirely different

So Dr. Marty Makary who are we going to blame 6 months from now when smoking rates start climbing again? Your lies on "youth vaping epidemic"is embarrassing when the NYTS data shows thats not true. Yet here you are pushing adults/youth back to smoking. Is that the plan? More death?

🎯

So Dr. Marty Makary when will we hear news about the collusion between FDA, NGO's and the Media for over 1 billion dollars to support FDA/Big Tobacco's lies about vaping. Seems Attorney General Pamela Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel need to be aware about Bidens FDA actions to keep big Tobacco in control.
