Again, this person moderated a presidential debate once…

Reminder: After Nick Shirley’s reporting in Minneapolis, CNN sent a 'reporter' to ‘investigate' by making calls from a hotel. But instead of being interested in actually investigating any fraud, they were hoping to discredit Shirley. This is CNN.

ro khanna’s net worth is north of $100 million (possibly over $200 million) and he’s a sitting member of congress. on what planet is he not “the wealthy and powerful”

People would rather ingest literal poison than treat this as a win.

This smarmy Marxist doesn't see taxes primarily as a way to provide necessary public services. He sees them as revenge. He celebrates the confiscation of wealth he did nothing to earn. This is pure class envy, and it's hideous.

Anyone who lives in Calif knows from experience this is a total lie.

Victor Glover absolutely SCHOOLS a woke reporter trying to get a DEI answer out of him.. “I hope one day we can look at this as ‘human history’ — not black history or women’s history..” 👏👏

I hate Communism because I understand economics.

@GuyTalksFinance You would still be up due to dollar cost averaging. And in any scenario would have made money based on where we are at market wise.

“So you rented a crappy apartment for 10 years while investing extra money into the stock market?” “Yes Dave” “Then the S&P 500 went flat for a decade and you have nothing to show for your spent money?” “That’s correct Dave”

You should take the class. The state’s finances are a dumpster fire.

@AskXeela @markcecchini You can use $35k as Roth contributions if you don’t use it.

@markcecchini true, but the penalty for non-education withdrawal (income tax + 10%) is the hidden tax most people don't factor in. flexibility has value - brokerage gives you options without penalties.

many people default to opening a 529 plan when they have a kid in reality, a combination of 529 + regular brokerage provides for ultimate flexibility maybe add in UTMA or custodial Roth (if they qualify) nobody knows exactly what age 18 will look like

Did not take too long 🤡

We’ve reached peak geopolitical comedy

What’s unfolding in Iran may be the most consequential and underreported story in the world. Free elections there won’t just be a human rights victory. The fall of the Ayatollahs will release tens of millions of people, who come from one of the most creative civilizations in history. Iranian culture has shaped art, science and innovation for centuries. Suppressing it hurts not just Iranians, but humanity as a whole.

Protests in Tehran Jan 13, 2026. Estimates that over 1 Million Iranians are in Tehran tonight demanding the end of the Islamic Regime. They are unarmed, and the Regime is intentionally shooting to kill, but they return in bigger numbers each night. Bravest people alive. 🦁☀️

There should be a policy where if you find the fraud, you get to keep 10% of it. The society will get cleaned up in less than a year.

When are people going to learn the difference between cash and ownership in a company? Also, he employs 142,000–160,000 people directly in the US, many more indirectly. This has an estimate of $16.5 billion per year in salaries, directly. I WISH I could “help” people this much.

Right winger here. This guy should be executed.

Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports. Instead of partnership, we got the full weight of retaliation by Tim Walz, certain DFL members and an indifferent mainstream media. It’s scary, isolating and left us wondering who we can turn to. In addition to retaliating against whistleblower, Tim Walz disempowered the Office of the Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and guidance. Media and politicians supporting Tim Walz or the DFL-agenda attacked whistleblowers who were trying to raise red flags on fraudulent activities. This is a cascade of systemic failures leading up to Tim Walz. Agency leaders appointed by Tim Walz willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet - even to the extent of threatening families of whistleblowers. These same leaders are not qualified for their jobs, instead getting leadership jobs via Tim Walz’s friendship so state government were left floundering. DFL lawmakers refused to acknowledge fraud and deflected any serious conversation to stop fraud. Biased mainstream media such as WCCO and MPR showed absolutely no interest in covering fraud happening in our own state. Programs, especially in behavioral health and disability services were built without any guardrails against fraud, all in an attempt to extract more funding from legislature and the federal government. As staff, we firsthand witnessed and observed fraud happening yet we were shutdown, reassigned and told to keep quiet. Sometimes more. Leadership did not want to appear to discriminate against certain communities and were unwilling to take action, such as stopping fraud, that would have an adverse impact on their image. To date, no single agency leader has been held responsible for their role in fraud whether it’s Shireen Gandhi, Jess Geil, Jodi Harpstead, Natasha Merz, Eric Grumdahl or others. It is a structure created and maintained by Tim Walz who has created an environment of inter-related agencies and institutions including the media - that help foster fraud through retaliation and turning a blind eye in exchange for political gain in the form of high power agency leadership jobs or other perks. Fundamentally, Tim Walz is dishonest, lacks ethics and integrity, has poor leadership abilities, and has never taken any accountability for his role in fraud. Instead, Tim Walz deflects by blaming national politics for his own failings and distracts the public with inveterate lying. These lies include his reference of a budget surplus under his tenure. Fact is, Minnesota never had a surplus, we had been given federal ARPA funds that were conflated as surplus money otherwise, we’d be in a deficit. And those ARPA funds, which were meant to be temporary funds were used to create more leadership positions for Tim Walz “buddies.” As such, we can’t fight fraud in Minnesota alone hence why we’re appealing to the federal levels of government. We need all the help we can get as Tim Walz’s agency leaders have upped their brazen approach in covering up their knowledge of fraud. We are grateful to numerous solid politicians (esp the Fraud Committee) and media outlets who are trying to halt fraud. We are also grateful to other whistleblowers who are bravely stepping up. Thank You NY Times for bringing the plight of Minnesota to the national stage. @nytimes

@johncthayer @CoachBowersJr It’s 100% on the guy blocking down field in the end zone. That pass needs to be caught at the LOS, otherwise it’s getting called 100 out of 100 times.

@CoachBowersJr That contact happens on fade route defender two hands on the receiver. If that was the penalty, the way you see it, the flag would be in the endzone. It’s at the 3 in the area of where pick play normally happens. This was not.

I have never been a football official. This, somehow, was called Pass Interference on No. 1. Good news, he caught a TD on the next play! Outside of running his route, who did he pick? What did he do? #GoYotes
