@JDXcolwell @ClayTravis We already tried to take it and failed miserably. That pilot rescue from 2 weeks ago? That was cover for the extraction we tried to do. And failed.

@ClayTravis The uranium isn't just sitting by a runway somewhere. It's 2 kilometers down under a mountain. Probably in multiple locations. It would take days of fighting to get to it. You can't just grab it by hand. You would have to seize the entire area for days or weeks to get it out.
English
Trump says Iran either gives up their uranium or we take it. I’m betting we take it. Which the leaders of Iran may prefer. If they turn it over voluntarily they will look too weak in their country.

@One_Badd_Hombre @TimSheehyMT Pretty apt description of republicans right there. And inbreds like sheehy himself.

@TimSheehyMT Keep that POS out of politics. Not only is he a compulsive liar, he will only look to enrich himself and make things worse for the average person.

I must have missed the day in basic training where they taught us to get Nazi tattoos and say women deserve to be raped.
CBS News@CBSNews
In response to controversy surrounding a tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol and comments he made previously on Reddit, Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner says "much of it was because of the culture I had come out of." "When I left the military, I came out of a hyper-masculine, hyper-violent place," he says. "I did four tours in the infantry. We have a crude sense of humor in the infantry. We certainly have a, I would say, narrow view of a lot of topics, and that colored my opinions and my beliefs."

@KevinOKell63760 @Heminator Buccee's does the same. When you don't have to answer to shareholders, massive CEO pay, or stock buybacks you can pay higher wages and still make profit. But this proves Sowell's entire economic theory worthless because Wall St. isn't making money
English
@KevinOKell63760 @Heminator In n out doesn't franchise or go public. And bc of that they can pay higher wages W/O cutting jobs bc they do not have to maximize profit share. The Wall St. model of profit extraction is the problem not the higher wages.
English
This is a policy that will reduce jobs and make an already expensive state more expensive, so of course she's doing it.
Governor Abigail Spanberger@GovernorVA
🚨BREAKING: I just signed legislation to raise Virginia's minimum wage to $15 per hour. We are putting more money in the pockets of the Virginians who power our economy — and charting a brighter, more affordable future for families who call the Commonwealth home.
English
@KevinOKell63760 @Heminator Ironic bc companies that pay higher wages than the minimum, like in n out for example, have proven that statement to be completely false. But it must be nice to be an economist hack who can be wrong about everything and still worth millions.
English
“Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force. Making it illegal to pay less than a given amount does not make a worker’s productivity worth that amount—and, if it is not, that worker is unlikely to be employed.” — Thomas Sowell

@LegionHoops Unluckiest Star on the Unluckiest Franchise Ever, you can call Embiid many things but at the top of the list HAS to be UNLUCKY.

Joel Embiid has to be one of the unluckiest NBA stars ever. This is all so crazy.

@TheFLReaper @LegionHoops His body isn’t built for bball. He’s a 7 ft 280 pounder that didn’t play the sport until he was 16. For comparison Giannis is 6’11 240 lbs. embiid is a slightly better version of Zion

@EsotericCD You clowns burned through billions of dollars in equipment to rescue a single pilot all so that we can continue to commit war crimes thousands of miles away while gas is 5$ a gallon. Yes we are rooting for you to fail.

Impossible not to notice how many people are disappointed here on Twitter about the successful rescue.
Choke on it, haters.

@Rhianna_1989 @KareemRifai Lol you think anybody cares about this stuff? The us and Israel don't respect anyone else's borders so why should Russia respect ukraines? Have fun with the standards you set.
English
You can call it whatever you like, it doesn’t change the fact that Crimea is internationally recognised as part of Ukraine, and was taken by force.
Borders aren’t decided by who shouts loudest on a stream, they’re decided by law, sovereignty, and the people who actually live there.
And Ukrainians have been very clear on that.

@FrankieQuigs @AdamSchefter Cool no do coaches leaving schools whenever they want and getting millions in buyouts when they get fired
English
@AdamSchefter Good. SAs have been unrestricted free agents every year. We want to see kids wearing the same jersey for the few short years in college. Coaches and boosters want to know their money and time is spent for more than a few months one collegiate season. Great EO.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday designed to limit how long athletes can play college sports and how often they can transfer between schools.

@HieronymusMcG @CoreyWriting @fewhrsafterthis And guess which states actually matter in general elections?
English
@forward_reason @CoreyWriting @fewhrsafterthis Both overwhelmingly white states. Amazing that you never recognize identity politics when the identity is white.
English
AOC would not win a majority-black state in a Dem. primary. People thought the same of Bernie Sanders. These far-left Dems do well on social media and the pundit class. They flop when they have to court real-life voters outside of blue +60 districts.
dan turrentine@danturrentine
said it since the spring of 2025, she is the policy heartbeat of the base. whether she runs or not in 28, she will dictate pace and force others to respond with these type of statements.
English
@HieronymusMcG @CoreyWriting @fewhrsafterthis Bernie also won swing state primaries like Wisconsin and Michigan that Hillary lost for the first time in a generation in the general. So that’s actually a good indicator that your identity based politics fails
English
@CoreyWriting @fewhrsafterthis Bernie's 2016 campaign success depended on whether the state was more or less than 60% non-Hispanic white. If the state was not overwhelmingly white, he lost. It was really that simple.
English
@CoreyWriting @JewishWonk Bernie won primaries in swing states like Wisconsin and Michigan. Once again centrists like you have no idea what you’re talking about and that’s why your politics fails

@dbsb3233 @Diogene61878057 @jdcmedlock The Wall Street capitalistic model of profit extraction is the problem here. Not the increased wages
English
@dbsb3233 @Diogene61878057 @jdcmedlock The real reason is in n out does not have to answer to shareholders like others, McDonald’s for example, do. Bc of this in n out does not have to extract as much profit as possible and therefore can raise wages without raising prices or cutting jobs/hours.

A 14 cent price increase on a $4 burger in exchange for $20 minimum wage? Good deal.
