Two females, no males. The last two Northern white rhinos left on Earth. Najin and her daughter Fatu are the last two northern white rhinos remaining on Earth. There were 500 in the 1970s. By the end of the 80s there were 15. All at the hands of poachers.

@wilson_ricks All because our snowflake president got mad at Scotland about windmills off the coast of his stupid golf course.

Seems to be flying enormously under the radar that Trump has banned wind power in the United States. A full 10% of our electricity. Just imagine if another administration did this extrajudicially to any other industry.

BIG SCOOP: Energy reps tell me the Trump administration is now extrajudicially blocking all new wind projects in the United States Apparently the Pentagon is refusing to sign off on FAA airspace clearances even when military assets aren’t around For @heatmap_news (link below)

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

YES. YES. I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS. I started a spreadsheet in 2019 tracking every category where America is number one globally and people keep asking me to stop bringing it to Thanksgiving. We lead the PLANET in medical debt. Not the developed world. The PLANET. There are countries where "medical bankruptcy" doesn't translate because the CONCEPT doesn't exist in their language. We invented it. We EXPORTED it as a field of academic study. German researchers fly here to observe it happening in real time. They take NOTES. We are a living laboratory and the experiment is "what if you made people choose between insulin and rent." We chose. Exposed. This is the thing we're best at. We lead in incarceration. More humans in cages than China. China has 1.4 billion people and an authoritarian government and we STILL have more prisoners. We beat AUTHORITARIANS at their own game using FREEDOM. We did it with both parties cooperating across NINE administrations. Name ONE other bipartisan project that lasted fifty years. You can't. This is our moon landing. We just don't film it. We lead in insulin pricing. $300 for a vial that costs $30 in Canada. Canada is VISIBLE FROM DETROIT. You can see Canada from a Walgreens parking lot where someone is deciding between half-doses. The same molecule. The same manufacturer. The border adds $270 of LEADERSHIP. That's what leading looks like. It looks like a 900% markup on not dying. We lead in mass shootings. Not per capita. Not adjusted. RAW TOTAL. We have so many that researchers had to invent subcategories. School. Workplace. Concert. Grocery store. We have a TAXONOMY. Other countries have incidents. We have a CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM with peer-reviewed SORTING CRITERIA. That's infrastructure. That's RIGOR. We lead in healthcare spending AND in maternal mortality among rich nations. Simultaneously. We spend $4.3 trillion a year and mothers die at rates that would concern a developing nation. We spent MORE money to get WORSE outcomes so consistently that it can't be incompetence. Incompetence wouldn't be this RELIABLE. This takes PLANNING. This is an ACHIEVEMENT of systems working exactly as designed across multiple industries cooperating to extract value from the specific biological event of someone trying not to die. We lead in per-capita spending on our military while our veterans sleep in tents. We allocated $886 billion to defense and our soldiers come home to a VA waitlist so long that some of them die on it. We spent the money. We just didn't spend it on THEM. The money went somewhere. It led the way. Just not toward the people who fought. I printed this tweet on a 24x36 poster. It's in my living room. My wife moved out last month but she didn't take the poster so I think she agrees.

I guess it’s just an amazing coincidence that basically every decision related to politics helps Republicans, and every decision related to regulation helps fossil fuel polluters. nbcnews.com/politics/supre…

@Tweeterpat33838 @MonicaCrowley And maybe add autocrat, plutocrat, grift, and narcissist to the vocab list. However, I also recommend go have a local good beer, support local businesses, & treat your neighbors kindly. Off to spend my energy on useful pursuits, May the Fourth be with you!

@Tweeterpat33838 @MonicaCrowley I don't envy billionaires, although I wonder how some of the intellectually vacuous ones got where they are. Lucky for Scott Bessent that he really was funded by Soros! I also suggest those using terms like Marxist, socialist, & communist should know the dedinitions & diffs.

@Tweeterpat33838 @MonicaCrowley 101.2 mil$ for trips to 47's properties so far this term. On track for 300+mil$ this term, 187.5xsalary. He makes money on these trips, too, from events, ecret Service fees, etc etc. He & his fam have cleared over 4bil$$ so far off this term. Why would he care about 400k$ ?

@JoScheff @MonicaCrowley 45-47 destination isn't the issue & re 'the most efficient flightpath'(?!)' that is up to ATC. He doesn't take a salary unlike most other presidents. Every president racks up costs to travel. Obama was quite a taxpayer drain during his 8 years of allowing Iran free reign.🤭3.2.1.

@Tweeterpat33838 @MonicaCrowley Was 47 on his way to Andrews, & if so was that the most efficient flightpath? On his way to FL for how many more millions of $$ on our tax expense account? How does loyalty to the most corrupt US prez in history make YOUR life better?

@JoScheff @MonicaCrowley Every president uses Marine One to fly to Joint Base Andrews to board Airforce One but go ahead and wonder if it makes you feel better. How does hating The Great MAGA King make your life better?

@jasonllevin Venus, since he clearly wants a runaway Greenhouse Effect. Because "nobody thought I could do it, no one's ever seen anything like it before"

Memphis is the second Blackest big city in the country, and it’s about to be gerrymandered within an inch of its life so a white Republican can represent it in Congress. This was exactly the thing Congress was trying to address with the Voting Rights Act. tennesseelookout.com/2026/05/01/gov…
