@VladTheInflator They already can do that if they want. They should be built with regards to environmental and population concerns but they aren't going away. They will just build them in space. The reality is the economic future is AI, if we don't build them, we get left behind.

Buckle the fuck up
They're setting up an Israeli mass surveillance state in the United States.
That's how they control a country they can never beat in a fight.

@danpfeiffer Wow, imagine that. You have to cheat to win and karma is catching up to you.

1. The Virginia Supreme Court's ruling is a gut punch. There is no sugarcoating it. But all is not lost; Democrats can still win the House and are at least slight favorites to do so.
Here's why:

Someone can certainly *make* a billion dollars. That’s not the same thing as earning.
Growing fast and disrupting markets also often means chasing and wielding market power, political influence, and scale.
Take Airbnb. They heavily lobby politicians against passing housing laws to protect working class residents because it’s bad for their business model.
Airbnb could not exist at its current scale and size without the housing market destabilizations, displacements, and exploits that are supercharging the evictions of working people everywhere from Puerto Rico to Jackson Hole.
Now young people are planning for a future where they will never be able to afford to own a home while others have 20 and live off renting it out to them at extortionate rates with zero protections. Yes, a tiny amount of people can make billions of dollars doing that. And millions of everyday Americans are bearing the cost.

Sure you can earn a billion dollars. I've been teaching people how to do it for 20 years. The way you do it is to start a company that grows fast. You don't have to do anything bad to make a company grow fast. You just have to make something people want. paulgraham.com/ace.html

Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out.
MAGA has rigged the system.

I can’t go through this again.

JUST IN: People in at least three U.S. states are reportedly being monitored for possible hantavirus exposure.

@Alex17919578 @RetroCoast BS. Pocahantis killed deal in a few years ago

@RetroCoast Spirit Airlines went bankrupt because Trump wanted to own 90% of the company in exchange for a $500M cash infusion. The senior bondholders (Citadel hedge fund) didn’t want Trump to have priority over their bonds, and felt the company was worth more if they liquidated. 1/2

@WeSee2024 @mattkim1 You do realize they are all one in the same right?

I live in a part of Georgia where 75% of my neighbors voted for Trump.
Trump signs and flags were everywhere.
“Were”
They’ve all be replaced with American flags and signs that say things like “True Conservative”
No more Trump signs. ZERO.
And all the MAGA influencers that live in Florida and DC will say it’s not true, that MAGA is alive and well. They’re lying to you, probably not even intentionally. They live in a bubble and don’t see the real America around them.
When’s the last time u saw a MAGA hat in the wild? You used to see them at the mall, airports, and in the street.
Conservatism isn’t dead. It just needs a new leader.

@TomSteyer Yeah, why wouldn’t they want to protect their profits you dimwitted idiot. How you got rich being so stupid is something that should be studied for history book.
English
Why are oil companies backing my opponents?
To protect their profits.
When I’m governor, if you pollute our air and water, you will pay the price.

I know it’s a foreign concept to you, but I’m using my position to fight for working people.

“Anti-billionaire” group endorses… …billionaire!

Feels like Magyar is not messing around in wanting to pull up the roots of Orbanism. If he does, a reminder that you don't need to agree with someone about everything for them to be an ally in fighting authoritarianism and corruption.
Very Brexit Problems@VeryBrexitProbs
New Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar finally appeared as a guest on state television M1 for the first time ever. Here’s what he told the journalist. “We will suspend this channel's news service. This isn't about me; I'm not seeking revenge. Our people deserve journalism that reflects the truth.” “We will nationalize the assets given to businesspeople and foundations during the Orbán era.” “The Mathias Corvinus Collegium Foundation, close to Orbán, was transferred 10% of MOL (oil company) and Gedeon Richter (pharmaceutical company) for free. We will take back these shares.” “After 16 years of the Orbán era, 400,000 Hungarian children in this country are living in deep poverty.” “President Sulyok is no longer the president of this country in my eyes or in the eyes of the people.” (In response to the host asking about his meeting with Zelensky as a counterpoint) “I get your joke, and I even like it. But your references no longer carry any meaning.” “According to you, Germany has collapsed, there's no internet there, people aren't even having sex. The Hungarian people were laughing at you.” “It was said on this channel that even my young children won't talk to me, when in fact my children live with me.” (When the host interrupted him) “No host in this studio ever dared to interrupt Hungary's most corrupt and most lying prime minister.” (When asked about the legal basis for closing the news service) “For someone on this channel to accuse me of breaking the law looks like a thief accusing the police.”

@TomSteyer People don’t want them. The market already spoke. Stop forcing your climate agenda down our throats.

Working and middle-class households should be able to afford the transition to electric vehicles.
That's why I'll triple the state EV tax credit to $600M.
English
@TomSteyer Yeah. Its his fault your state is taxed into oblivion and wrought with fruad you dunce

Donald Trump has caused a hell of a lot of pain for Californians spending $1 billion a day on bombs instead of lowering costs at home.

I hope Trump sues this little shit into oblivion.

Rep. Ted Lieu on the House floor: “Trump raped minors. And it’s all on tape.” That statement is now part of the official congressional record.
