I see 50 and I can’t believe it’s wrong. What do you see? The right answer gets $1000

COMMUNITY NOTE: DOGE doesn't exist; it's not a department, commission or government entity. It has no authority; if it seeks any it becomes illegal. It's a billionaires' lobbying grift that can call itself whatever the fuck it wants as long as it includes the adjective "corrupt."

Cancelling $4T in taxes for 815 billionaires but not $1.7T in student debt for 40M Americans is the modern version of let them eat cake.

@elonmusk I have a Tesla not because it drives itself, but because it is fun to drive!

@elonmusk This tweet shows just how out of touch you are with what normal people want.

And all transport will be fully autonomous within 50 years

JD Vance says he's going to keep lying about immigrants until people believe him

Hi Todd 😊 1) I'm so happy you are still one of our two fans! 2) You heard an offhanded comment referencing an ongoing conversation we've been having with teachers and librarians and parents.The consensus seems to be they feel unsupported and underappreciated. 🧵

“They’re both old." Yes, they are. But only one of them is demonstrably losing his mind. And it isn’t Joe Biden. If you doubt that, here’s a fun little thread I call “Things that, if said by anyone but Donald Trump, would be seen as undeniable signs of dementia." 1/

@MarkHamill I liked this tweet

I WANT people to know it was me that liked their tweets. Now my only option is to reply & write the word "like". This will seriously cut into my time wishing folks a🎂! How can we get the powers-that-be to STOP "improving" this site? Grrrrrr! 🤬 #BringBackLIKES

Wow. This video is truly eye-opening. Take a couple minutes to watch this. A mind-boggling visual representation of wealth inequality in America. This sh*t ain’t workin’, folks. #TaxBillionaires #UnionsForAll

@AdamColb_ Learning from the internet rather than a college is terrible advice.

It took me 9 years to realize, and I will tell you in 2 minutes. 1. Don't tell them everything Even when you trust your close friends and family.

@banditt_io @elonmuskADO Ya, clearly he didn't think it through before changing it!🤣🤣🤣

@elonmuskADO X sounds cool but twitter sounds cooler especially when you're talking about a tweet "I tweeted something on twitter..." not " I x something on x"

Trump was just participating in a very sophisticated real estate practice known as "lying"

.@SpeakerJohnson Hey Mr. Speaker, let's get a few things straight here because it seems like you're playing fast and loose with the truth, and frankly, it's not a good look. Most technologically advanced nations offer FREE COLLEGE. Mike do you know WHY? Because it's an INVESTMENT. For every $1 they'll get $7 back in taxes paid by these future PROFESSIONALS. 40% of college STUDENTS don't graduate & have a hefty debt. POOR 4 LIFE! How is that fair? Moving on to your claim about shifting the debt burden to taxpayers, is nonsense. Programs aimed at public service and relieving student debt stimulate the economy by boosting consumer spending and reducing loan defaults. It's about investing in our society's future, not some zero-sum game where taxpayers are unfairly saddled with the bill. And as for your "just and fair" spiel about borrowers versus the American people, let's not ignore the elephant in the room: the skyrocketing costs of education and the necessity of a degree in today's economy. It's not just about personal responsibility; it's a systemic issue where many find themselves in over their heads through no fault of their own. Loan forgiveness is an attempt to rectify this, not a free pass at the expense of hardworking Americans. In essence, your arguments are riddled with misinformation and a lack of understanding (or perhaps a willful ignorance) of the broader economic and social implications. It's time we focus on evidence-based discourse rather than political point-scoring. Let's tackle the real issues with integrity and facts, shall we? One must not lie! Plus, Why do you all act as if 2020 pandemic didn't happen? This is very dishonest! First off, let's cut through the chase: What Trump left Biden was nothing short of a disaster. The so-called "great economy" Trump keeps boasting about was merely him riding the economy of Obama's success, only to completely botch it when a real crisis hit. Unemployment skyrocketed, millions of jobs vanished, and the debt ballooned like never before on his watch. And his pandemic response? A lesson in what not to do, from underplaying the virus to hosting potential super-spreader rallies and a sluggish rollout of vital supplies. This isn't just incompetence; it's a catastrophic failure to lead when it mattered most. Transitioning to the "stellar" Republican-led Congress, let's get real: their record is the worse in decades. Instead of working with Biden to address the multitude of crises handed over, they chose obstruction. It's clear they're more interested in playing political games than in governance or aiding in the nation's recovery. Their opposition to the COVID-19 relief efforts and infrastructure bills speaks volumes of their disregard for the American people's welfare. Now, focusing on the Republican narrative against Biden and immigration reform, it's nothing short of fearmongering and spreading lies. Biden proposed a comprehensive reform that not only enhances border security but also provides a humane approach to immigration, contrary to the chaos and cruelty under Trump. Yet, Republicans block and blame, stuck in a cycle of misinformation and xenophobia, rather than contributing to meaningful solutions. Joe Biden's tenure as President has been marked by substantial achievements and a determined effort to address the complex challenges he inherited from the Trump administration. Upon taking office, Biden was faced with an unprecedented global pandemic, a fragile economy, and deeply entrenched political divisions. Despite these challenges, his administration has made remarkable strides, affirming the United States' position as a global leader and a resilient nation. Biden's Achievements: Economic Recovery: Biden's policies have spurred a robust recovery, adding 15 million jobs to the U.S. economy, a record for any president in three years. This achievement is particularly notable given the economic turmoil at the pandemic's peak. Infrastructure Investment: The passage of a landmark infrastructure bill, a feat that had eluded previous administrations, will modernize the nation's infrastructure, creating jobs and improving quality of life for Americans. Climate Action: Biden has made the largest investment in climate action in U.S. history, demonstrating leadership in addressing the global climate crisis. Healthcare and Veterans: His administration has worked to lower drug prices and improve healthcare for veterans, addressing longstanding issues in veterans' care. Gun Safety Law: Biden achieved what hadn't been done in 30 years by passing significant gun safety legislation, reflecting his commitment to addressing gun violence. Economic Indicators: Under his leadership, the U.S. has seen the longest stretch of sub-4% unemployment in half a century, along with a record-high stock market and surging consumer sentiment. Recovery from Global Inflation: Biden's policies have also contributed to a faster recovery from global inflation than many other nations, showcasing the effectiveness of his economic strategies. Obstruction by Republicans: Despite these achievements, Biden's efforts have been consistently obstructed by Republicans, who have chosen to block meaningful legislation at every turn. This obstructionism is not just about thwarting Biden's agenda; it's aimed at creating hardship for Americans, hoping it will translate into political gains for Trump in 2024. Strength and Resilience: Folks, the narrative that the U.S. is a nation in decline is categorically false. The accomplishments of the Biden administration, in the face of significant adversity, underscore the nation's strength and resilience. These achievements, along with Biden's proactive measures on immigration, border security, and international relations, reaffirm the U.S. as the strongest nation globally, capable of leading with integrity and innovation. Conclusion: The contrast between the forward momentum under Biden and the stagnation and division fostered by obstructionist Republicans is clear. The achievements of the Biden administration, particularly in areas handed off in turmoil by the previous administration, highlight a government working tirelessly for the betterment of its people and standing firm on the world stage. The path forward requires continued leadership that builds on these successes, not regressive policies that seek to undo this progress for political points. The bottom line is this: The current Republican stance is one of obstruction, misinformation, and, frankly, desperation. They fear accountability and truth because it unravels their narrative. What we need is a return to facts, to integrity, and to policies that genuinely address the challenges facing America. It's time for the GOP to drop the charade, stop undermining democracy, and start contributing to the country's recovery and progress. #BidenomicsIsWorking #studentloans #Bidenomics

Social Security taxes are rigged for the rich — and the program is in danger because of it. A CEO earning $20M/yr pays Social Security taxes on ~1% of their income. Meanwhile, the typical worker pays Social Security taxes on 100% of their income. How does that make sense?
