Here is 2 minutes of Donald Trump on the 2024 campaign trail pledging to lower your energy and electric bills by 50% within 12 months of taking office. Can we get an update on this from MAGA?

@AbdulElSayed Coming into the comments section like it's the Player Haters Ball... Dr. Abdul is going to be the next MI senator.

Born in Michigan, hallelujah Raised in Michigan, hallelujah Believe cars should exist, hallelujah

@SlingForAmerica @saylordocs This is just a nice-sounding slogan that's easy for simple people to understand, so they prefer it to more nuanced positions that require critical thinking skills. Don't get me wrong, I think in principal it could work, it just doesn't address the fundamental problems at all.

@SlingForAmerica @saylordocs Yeah, this is a utopian vision that has blinders on to any corruption and fraud by enforcement officials or accountants. It doesn't take into account the numerous ways you can hide income. And then you throw in this ridiculous assertion that prog. tax is inherently corrupt.

HOT TAKE: If businesses only have to pay taxes on profit, not revenue, then I should only have to pay taxes after I’ve paid all my bills and rent.

@HySpDcHiKnFeeD2 @AbdulElSayed this is just as likely as Trump not being a pdf-file

@WUndercurrent @AbdulElSayed He’s gonna ban bacon!

They line political pockets so no one says no. I don’t take their money. So hear me clearly: HELL NO. wxyz.com/news/dte-energ…

@MalloryMcMorrow I'll just vote for Dr. @AbdulElSayed who's clear in the first place, so I don't have to worry about this kinda stuff. abdulforsenate.com/2026/01/datace…

Let’s clear something up: No one in my family works for a data center company, supplier, or contractor. And I’ve got no financial ties to any of them either.

I spent months cross-referencing the Epstein files with White House ballroom donors. At least 1/3 overlap. I published it yesterday. Today the spin begins. That’s when you lean in. Link in comments to story

Never forget that Ronald Reagan tripled the national debt from $738 billion to $2.1 trillion, dropped the income tax rate on the top 1% from 70% to 28%, sold 500 missiles to Iran, let 90,000 Americans die of AIDS, and set into motion the end of mental institutions, creating a massive homelessness crisis that continues to this day. And he’s not even close to the worst president we’ve ever had.

can someone please leak this report

@SlingForAmerica @saylordocs How would you handle corporations and wealthy indv. that 1. Can use fancy accountants and loopholes to hide their money, and 2. become wealthier than the state and coup the govt through coercion or force?

You seem to not understand how it works... Businesses can only deduct expenses that go into making/delivering their products. Not every expense is deductible. The same goes for your household. That said... If you want true tax fairness you should push for a flat tax that everyone over the poverty level pays. Period.

@PodSaveAmerica I don't know if you've looked at any poll anytime recently @kenmartin73 but it doesn't look like Dems learned the right lessons from the report you won't fully release. You're a loser POS who needs to resign along with @SenSchumer and @RepJeffries

Jon Favreau questions DNC Chair Ken Martin on why he won't release the DNC's autopsy on the 2024 election.

5 Laws and Standards That Require the US Cut Off Weapons to Israel A new memo circulating on Capitol Hill details why the US is obligated to cut weapons to Israel – even if Israel wants to buy them with its own money, @prem_thakker reports. Read: zeteo.com/p/us-israel-we…

I wrote about California gas prices spiking during the Hormuz crisis, & the disinformation about why. Refineries have a cartel,they've raised profit margins $1/gal in two months, & they charge branded stations higher prices, which get passed on to drivers. prospect.org/2026/04/28/aft…

I asked Sec. Zeldin if he ever met with Bayer/Monsanto about their legal issues on glyphosate. He said “No, I never did.” Then, “my mtg was very brief.” Here are visitor logs + EPA emails showing Bayer’s CEO, VP, & lobbyist meeting w/ Zeldin’s EPA before their EO/SCOTUS filing.

(🧵1/10) With renewed attention on my recent @NewYorker reporting about Sam Altman and OpenAI, it's worth revisiting a piece I wrote for the magazine about another tech billionaire who has accumulated unusual leverage over the US government—and whose hand many readers have lately seen at work in their feeds. For that story, I spent months interviewing more than thirty of Elon Musk's current and former colleagues, along with current and former officials at NASA, the Department of Defense, the FAA, the Department of Transportation, and OSHA. Many of their observations have only grown more relevant since. Read the full investigation here: newyorker.com/magazine/2023/… And a thread on a few of its findings below.

“If someone tells you it’s raining outside and someone else tells you it’s not… the job of a journalist is to look outside the f***ing window.” @mehdirhasan gives a speech at Zeteo’s two-year anniversary party on the journalist’s job & the importance of speaking truth to power.

This bombshell report shows how the US government buys black market gold from violent Colombian drug cartels, but falsely claims the gold originated in the US. Ironically the US government designated these cartels as terrorist orgs, as it buys their gold. nytimes.com/2026/04/26/ins…

@VanJones68 You know you've fallen off hard when of all topics to cover in 2026 you do a mini-doc on Hasan Piker...

Hasan Piker says the designated terrorist organization Hamas is 1,000 times better than Israel. His statement outraged many — who now just want to write him off. That's a mistake. He has a massive audience and is emerging as one of the major voices of his generation. Those of us who disagree owe him — and his audience — a real argument. Here's mine … And my position doesn’t come from ignorance about oppression. For a big chunk of my life, I was a grassroots activist — because of the pain of my own people. During those years, I was lucky enough to learn from elders who had been in the Black Panther Party, in SNCC, in the ANC. These were people who had to choose whether to pick up the gun — and how to use it if they did. They taught me this: even in armed struggle, there are principles. No women. No children. No rapes. No kidnapping. Mandela held that line. Amílcar Cabral held that line. You don't become what you're fighting. Hamas fails that test. They are not fighting for MORE freedom for Palestinians. They're fighting for less. They want theocracy, not democracy. And their means? They don’t use principled armed struggle (hitting military targets). They use terrorism (targeting civilians). The vast majority of Americans — including those who sympathize with the Palestinian cause — reject terror tactics. Reasonable people would agree on three principles: secure homelands for both peoples; no hatred for Jews or Muslims; and protection for all civilians. Hamas’ approach undermines all three. That's the conversation Piker's audience deserves. Not name-calling.
