@tokyo_111 Federal Reserve and deficit spending.

In 1980 a 22-year-old could work summer jobs, save $15k, buy a house with a $40k mortgage and have it paid off by 35. In 2026 a 22-year-old needs to save for 15+ years just for a down payment on a $400k house. Different rules. One generation pulled the ladder up

@hannahkrieg You can't handle the truth.

Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank is racist and unhinged. Any cop who disrespects the victims of police violence should be immediately terminated. And to have the top cop tweeting this, the person who sets the culture, inexcusable.

@WestLoopTom They had a homicide, 30 something were shot. Bragging about that.

Chicago recorded zero homicides over the long Memorial Day weekend. It’s the first time since 2010. MAGA definitely won’t like this.

@ClintRegert @NataniaMarshall Try the draft . Vietnam USMC 67-68, my younger brother who passed with complications of Agent Orange - USMC Vietnam 69-70. FU

@NataniaMarshall Boomers inherited a society where they could, with only a high school diploma, obtain a well-paying, stable manufacturing job. This reality doesn't exist anymore. At their core, Boomers are envious, ungrateful, delusional, spiteful little death goblins.

Boomer👴🏻: I owned a house at your age, your generation is just lazy… 1950s: $4,000 1970s: $15,000 1990s: $80,000 2010s: $540,000 2026: $1.05M My generation isn’t lazy, everything is just expensive.

@Leah742 Well stated-- for a " Goldstein"?

I prefer the ignorance I had before coming on this platform. This site is full of paid maga who hate their fellow Americans and lie like I've never seen before. Before coming here, I had no idea how despicable and demoralizing maga people were. Now, I find myself stooping to low levels, trying to defend our constitution, laws, healthcare, and the incessant lies about everything. These people live in an alternate reality.

@Impolitics I am sure you are a veteran who fought---not

Pete Hegseth: “The single dumbest phrase in military history is ‘Our diversity is our strength.’” Actually, the single dumbest phrase in military history is “Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.” Pete said this to West Point’s Class of 2026, which is 21% women and 40% non-white.

@Matt41145588 Semper Fi- Brother

Damn Right! Semper Fi 💪

@skumWgmi I bet that there are assistant principals, secretaries to the assistant principals and basically an overloaded administrative staff. It goes with the territory now.

My kid's school asked me to donate supplies. Paper. Pencils. Hand sanitizer. Tissues. I pay property taxes. My state has a $4 billion surplus. The federal education budget is $238 billion. And the teacher is buying pencils out of her own paycheck. And I'm sending in Ziploc bags. We fund stadiums for billionaires with public money. We fund schools with bake sales. And then blame teachers when test scores drop.

@NetworkDirecto1 @EndWokeness Been doing that since the great society was born.

@EndWokeness As goofy as he sounds. That is actually the root of the issue. Bored kids that were not raised right, nor have any parental guidance, doing dumb sht. Giving them something to do is not a bad idea.. or you could do nothing and just complain.

This is who is advising Mayor Johnson not to implement a teen curfew. Not joking.

@greendragonhq Ethnic makeup of the homicide victims and offenders.

Not only do red states have the highest poverty rates, the worst healthcare, and the poorest education, but they also have the highest murder rates. Why do they want the entire country to look like this? States with the highest murder rates: 🔴 Mississippi - 20.5 🔴 Louisiana - 15.2 🔴 Alabama - 13.3 🔴 Missouri - 11.8 🔴 Tennessee - 10.2 🔴 South Carolina - 11.4 🔴 Arkansas - 11.0 🔴 North Carolina - 9.4 🔴 Georgia - 9.6 🔵New Mexico - 8.0

@mayawiley @splcenter SPLC and their Cayman Islands accounts.

They’re not coming after @SPLCenter DESPITE their work to protect the rights of Black voters. They’re coming after it BECAUSE of it.     Wednesday’s hearing did not fool us. This is a campaign to deny racism is real & civil rights are necessary. We won’t back down.

@EricSpracklen look again , pretty much follows the federal deficit. Deficits help those with assets like homes and stocks.

It’s not the mortgage rates that are keeping young people from buying homes, it’s the artificially inflated values that sellers think they can still get. First time home buyers are saying no. Until home values come down 30-50% there will continue to be an affordability problem.

@CountryFirstRep The biggest set up I have ever seen. Police Officer moves the truncheon so protesters can enter, Police Officer opens and hold the door open to the building, Police Officer leads a group like they are on a site seeing adventure. All on tape if you took the time to look it up

I'm a conservative. I don't believe in financially compensating insurrectionists who beat police officers at the capitol. Maybe I'm just old fashioned...🤷‍♂️

@herosnvrdie69 Sure go to school and get a degree in the arts, urban studies or whatever made up degree consists of . Then complain while working at Starbucks, oh wait- you can become a programmer- until AI.

Only 14 percent of ALL workers in the trades make over 100k a year. The average is closer to 50k a year. Do not let conservatives lie to you. Go to college. Get an education. Do not break your body down for 25 dollars an hour.

@MatrixMysteries She can pay for tattoos though.

“If I can’t afford a home, who the hell can?” Registered nurse. No debt. 808 credit score. She did everything right — and STILL got priced out. That’s not a broken dream. That’s a RIGGED system.

@middle_class_us deficits matter

They say “groceries are cheap.” Where? Show me the $1.99 milk. Show me the $2 eggs. Because in America, cheap groceries are a myth.

@AttorneyCrump Are you attempting to be the ultimate card player? You vs. Al?

A Black baby doll hanging by a cord inside a Florida classroom is not a “joke," it evokes the painful history of terror and lynching in America. Our children deserve classrooms that uplift, protect, and respect the dignity of every student!

@AJBayatpour ok, so what.

More than 7,000 documented non-citizens in Wisconsin will no longer be eligible for food stamps, starting July 1. That includes refugees, asylees and victims of human trafficking. Advocates worry this will strain food pantries already stretched thin: cbs58.com/news/non-citiz…

@cptdankkk I took my lunch for years. Drank water

Kevin O'Leary says most people waste $15,000 a year on stupid stuff like $5 coffees "Stop buying coffee for five dollars and fifty cents" "You go to work and you spend $15 bucks on a sandwich, what are you an idiot. It costs you 99 cents to make a sandwich at home and bring it with you" "Bring your own water, your own drink or your own coffee mug. You start to add that up every day it's a ton of money" "Most people starting on their job making their first $60,000 piss away about $15,000 a year"

@MatrixMysteries The miracle of compound interest.

An American checks her student loans. She borrowed $49,548.74. After 120 payments, she’s paid $25,558.36. Her current balance? $50,121.33. After PAYING $25k… she now owes MORE than she originally borrowed. This isn’t aid — it’s legalized USURY.
