The easiest way to build an online following is to tell people what they want to hear.
People want their beliefs to be affirmed more than they want to be informed.

@SportsCenter Stop. Kid has been in the league two years and it’s the first time? The bar is so low it’s embarrassing.

LeBron and Bronny throwing dimes to each other 🔥❤️
Including the first son-to-father assist in NBA history 😤

@JohnCornyn @nytimes Now do how much tariffs have cost families.
English
Under the Working Families Tax Cut (aka One Big Beautiful Bill): "Overall, the average tax refund is $3,521 according to Internal Revenue Service data through March 27, roughly 11 percent higher than it was a year earlier." @nytimes

@TimCowlishaw @dallasnews I love the energy @mcuban brought to the Mavs when he bought them. He revived the franchise and got us a ring. But he also didn’t leave the team in good hands which was a slap in the face to those same fans that supported him and the Mavs all these years.

Mark Cuban’s dragging of Mavs coach Jason Kidd ignores his own role in the Luka debacle dallasnews.com/sports/maveric… via @dallasnews

@Mavs_FFL One of the greatest PG of all time but not a great coach.
English
Kidd on the accusations that he was in on the Luka trade:
“When are we going to move on? We have to move forward. We're focused on the present and the future and we've got an incredible opportunity to build.”

@RealJayWilliams I don’t think he’s a choker, but you can make the argument he inherited one of the best programs in the country whereas those other guys built their programs.

The fastest way to expose yourself as a casual? Call Scheyer a choker.

Have you ever noticed that if taxpayer money goes directly to citizens it’s called welfare and that’s bad.
If taxpayer dollars go to a business it gets a fancy name like “educational savings account” and it’s “empowering parents” even though they never see the money.

@FrankLuntz Schools teach a lot of things, but it’s easy to ignore when kids see the example being set by those in Washington DC, especially what they see through social media. Everything we are experiencing today will have a lasting impact for generations to come.

@scottbraddock @TeamBettencourt Of all the things happening with Texas politics it’s interesting to see rodeo behavior is where some draw the line.
English
Sen @TeamBettencourt calls for Harris County Judge Hidalgo to resign. Unlike some other Republicans he has never done that, as far as I know #txlege
Team Bettencourt@TeamBettencourt
The 2026 Houston Live Stock @RODEOHOUSTON Show set the record straight on another bizarre personal action by Judge @LinaHidalgoTX. This whole "Rodeo-gate" is foolishness and reckless behavior unbefitting the elected County Judge of the Nation's 3rd largest county. She should resign period! Repeatedly asking for $9k of tickets, then blaming others for her own bad behavior in writing is simple unconscionable. I think the public agrees this is NOT about "Women", "Hispanics", "White men", or any other charge Judge Lina made! Its about a person not mature enough to listen to the word: NO in the 1st place... PS if anyone asks, of the number of rodeo tickets requested by Senator Bettencourt, the answer is ZERO. #txlege

@Sarah4Texas Not sure why guys are making fun of your looks unless they just don’t like girls. 😂
English
When they have nothing else they attack your looks. I’ve been made fun of my entire life for the way I look. This only fuels my fire to be the change I want to see in the world. I’m tired of dark money improperly influencing our already messed up primary system.
English
It was alway about making sure their donors got their hands on the billions of dollars Texans invest in public schools. It was never about the kids.

@HicklandHillary @scottbraddock Everyone told you this is what would happen. You got played. And then you played everyone else.
English
@scottbraddock @randypittenger Have you considered that pre K and Kinder students were not in school at all prior to enrolling in TEFA? Wonder how that skews this data.
English
Well, what do you know?
*76%* of Texas school voucher applications come from families whose children are not enrolled in public schools. Less than 1% of public and charter school families have applied for vouchers.
It's straight up welfare for the wealthy #txlege

Told you so.

Angry gambling companies reportedly played a part in Adam Silver punishing teams for tanking, per @BenGolliver
“Over-unders are at stake. You know, player props are at stake. If coaches are just willy-nilly not playing guys the entire game, and they’re not letting people know in advance that they plan to do that, you’re going to have a lot of angry gamblers and a lot of angry gambling companies as well.”

Brandy killing this national anthem. Literally, it might not survive because it’s so awful. #NBAAllStar26

@thekidet This question is exactly why the NBA is hard to watch now. No respect for the mental aspect of the game and all about athletic ability.
Do you think being 6’9” and the ability to dunk makes you an expert? Because that will get you into college but it doesn’t make you an expert
English
Any “basketball expert” that didn’t play past high school can answer this. PLEASE 🙏🏾
How do you get into being an expert at something you weren’t good at.
I’m only asking because I’ve never been able to cross that boundary, I’ve only practiced my craft in that field

@shams how yall be getting these jobs as hoop experts and yall ain’t never hoop, respectfully? Im about to hire an obese trainer pretty soon
