@LauraFriedmanCA now I'm really screwed trying to get my 25 year IDR corrected back to 25 years of repayment, along with the correct repayment start in 2000, NOT 2002

@unusual_whales @talmonsmith he must plan on holding on to them in the grave, because it's going to take two decades just to break even after the coming equities crash happens, anyone 60+ even in good times needs to stop saving and investing, and start spending, it's just basic math/human longevity,

Warren Buffett: "I would still hold stocks even if I knew that World War III would happen."

@TrackAIPAC @ericswalwell he's also a gas bag 💨💩

@ericswalwell Hold leaders accountable. Eric Swalwell is a genocide enabler.

Know your whole ballot. Hold leaders accountable. Your vote is power. Use it—and expect results.

As Tel Aviv looks evermore like Gaza, does anyone in Israel pause in introspection? Regret the glee they felt at the suffering of other people? Their full throated cries for more and more murder? Their dismissal of the women and children at their mercy as human animals? Anyone?

Netanyahu finally found a US President dumb enough to believe his "Iran is about to attack" bullsh*t that he's been claiming for the past 40 years

NEW: Amid the Pentagon's bitter battle with Anthropic over military use of its AI, the Trump administration is advancing an extreme new contracting clause that would force *all* AI vendors to allow carte-blanche use of their technology, including for fully autonomous weapons.

DSA LA decided NOT to reopen their endorsement window for mayor of Los Angeles following a debate. That means nether Nithya Raman nor Rae Huang will get the group’s backing for the June primary — which comes with canvassers and phone bankers. Vote needed 2/3 majority, got ~54%.

In a scenario where the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, "that means $250-$300 price of oil (Brent)" argues @Rory_Johnston. Because a giant price shock is needed to destroy 15 million barrels per day of demand $220+ "almost guaranteed." shorturl.at/ZurCL

How it feels watching the Iran War, Hormuz stoppage, and the still-so-sanguine global market reaction as the world economy just rolls into calamity.

@IsraelMFA 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀

The Iranian regime devastated Arad and Dimona by deliberately striking civilians with missiles. Over 100 people were injured, including children. A blatant war crime. Pure terrorism.

@tparsi Netanyahu doesn't do off-ramps

Trump just threatened to bomb all of Iran's power plants if Iran doesn't open the Straits within 48h. We know Iran will not comply with this threat. If Trump follows through on his threats, Tehran will likely strike at energy facilities throughout the Persian Gulf as well as in Israel. By now, it is really foolish to think it won't. An already bad situation will worsen with rising oil and gas prices, higher grocery costs in the US, and the closure of most remaining exit ramps. Escalation only intensifies the lose-lose scenario. Both sides need to get serious about off-ramps. Neither side should seek the humiliation of the other. Neither side can force the other's surrender. Both have to be able to construct a convincing narrative of victory for their own audiences. They may not realize it yet, but both the US and Iran ultimately have a common interest in such an exit.

JUST IN: $240,000,000 liquidated from the crypto market in the past 15 minutes.

when you see this, what is the first thing you think of

$7.49 for diesel in Southern California

NO MORE WAITING, NO MORE GAMES!

@TheSassanid @latimes corruption

@latimes I’m down for them to fix the pool and get it back open (NYC has tons of city public pools) but why does everything have to cost so insanely much and why does it take ages to finish anything in CA?

Oil prices could reach record highs, analysts warn. Here's what it could mean for the U.S. economy. cbsn.ws/4bqr1I4

@CAgovernor @JenSiebelNewsom everything but a LIVING WAGE paying job 🖕🏻

Starting in the 2027-28 school year, California will offer a new personal finance course to high schoolers and require it for graduation beginning with the 2031 class. Every Californian should leave high school with the tools to manage money, avoid debt, and build wealth.
