🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: The tide is TURNING to NUKE the filibuster in the Senate — which would mean passing SAVE America and MAGA policies with just 50 VOTES and JD Vance
SCOTT PRESLER: "The tide is starting to turn. You have Sen. Mike Lee out of Utah, that for the first time EVER...he is now OPENLY calling for the nuking of the filibuster!" 🔥
"And as we just saw from the great Ron Johnson out of Wisconsin, some of the other Senate colleagues are finally reaching the policy."
"So, I think it's a good point where they are calling to nuke the filibuster."
"And I agree, if the Democrats ever gain control of all three branches of government, there is no doubt that the Democrats would do so." @ScottPresler @kayleighmcenany
GET THIS DONE! 🇺🇸

I still can't believe I bought this low mileage BMW for only $26,000. If you're really willing to work hard, you can find gems like this.
And before anybody starts talking about repair bills, I bought a very nice aftermarket warranty, paid for by the fact I got the car so cheap.

@JustHere4Grins @Laurie0801 That’s not really it, we already have Medicaid. Universal healthcare would be Medicaid for all

@Laurie0801 Right wingers don’t want their tax dollars to help those less fortunate. It shows up in every policy and decision they make.

@Laurie0801 I don’t think that most realize about 55% of our health care is already single payor

@BernieSanders What’s your solution? Do prior year losses not count anymore?

If you paid $1 in federal income taxes this year, you paid more than:
Walt Disney
Citigroup
CVS
Kohl's
Ticketmaster
Tesla
United Airlines
GoDaddy
Paypal
Palantir
Roku
HP
3M
PG&E
Halliburton
That’s absurd. We need real and progressive tax reform.

🚨BREAKING: Many Dems are now leaning towards a Harris / Buttigieg ticket for 2028.

@greendragonhq How much additional revenue would this produce, assuming people don’t work differently after higher rates?

There are two options:
1) Trump is lying about everything.
or
2) Trump gave embarrassing concessions and is lying about their existance.
Because the Iranians would not simply go "ok we agree to everything with no terms"

TRUMP SAYS IRAN AGREED TO SUSPEND ITS NUCLEAR PROGRAM INDEFINITELY, AND WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY FROZEN FUNDS FROM THE US
English
🚨 JUST IN: Iran has agreed to a 100% FULL HALT to their nuclear program, for an UNLIMITED amount of time...
...and President Trump won't be giving them a DIME, a single CENT — not even "releasing frozen Iranian funds"
ART OF THE DEAL!! 🔥

@DefiantLs I remain opposed to socialism even if profitable in the short term. Wait until Dems are back in charge. With this as precedent they can “invest” in companies and steer them in accordance with the green scam

Howard Lutnick on Trump's deal with Intel: We went from the American taxpayer giving Intel $10B and getting nothing for it, to owning 430 million shares of their company, worth $30B for the American taxpayer.

@TheRealEstateG6 This makes zero sense. You’re assuming we all have the same amount invested, we all don’t make emotional decisions to try to time the market and we all don’t pay a broker to eat 1.5% of our purchases every year

What people don't understand about the S&P is that every single person in the country who has money is also invested in it
When your money goes up 15%, so does everyone else's
You gained zero relative wealth. You need to outperform the S&P if you want to actually get ahead

It’s funny seeing so many people have such strong takes here
Sure… investing it in the long term is probably more optimally
But…every decision isn’t about what’s most optimal
If it was, you’d:
- buy the smallest house possible in the worst area
- drive the oldest car
- work 100% of the time
- move and live in the area with the lowest taxes
He made a decision that helped financially
It improved his situation… even if it’s not the most most likely long term

Last month, we received a family gift of $260,000. We debated a lot and ultimately decided for a few reasons to drop it all on our 3.75% mortgage. Our mortgage went from $750k --> $490k We recognize we could have made much more investing, but it felt secure to take a little risk off the table. Mortgage calculator shows this will save us $285k in interest. We then recasted our mortgage and our payment dropped from ~$3,800 to ~$2,400. A little bit closer to freedom.
