Evan suggests the athletic advantages of testosterone are overstated and that, in fact, social conditioning explains a lot more of the athletic-ability gap between the sexes than people acknowledge. Experts in sports physiology such as @FondOfBeetles and @DrMJoyner disagree.

An Afghan asylum seeker hopes that “one day my children will live in a world that sees refugees not as a burden, but as human beings who survived the unimaginable.” George Packer tells her story: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

The idea of taxes on unrealized capital gains for illiquid assets is the stupidest economic policy ever dreamed up. It would be an economy-destroying measure that would basically eliminate the concept of privately owned companies (i.e., companies with equity not traded on the public markets). The death of private companies would result in the death of the major innovation engine that has made the USA the greatest economy in the world. Had such a scheme existed 50 years ago, Apple, Meta, Google, Tesla, Space-X, etc. etc. would never have come into being because they would never have been able to raise VC start-up capital. If this law were to come to pass, unemployment will skyrocket, innovation will plummet, standards of living will be reduced to third world levels, and capital will flee offshore. The nation will tumble into a decades-long Depression and none of the "social justice" ideas Big Chief Lizzie is speaking about will be affordable or even possible. This is the worst economic idea anyone has suggested in any of our lifetimes. But don't worry, Big Chief Lizzie will still get rich off of campaign contributions from the big banks and publicly-trade companies who will be the few beneficiaries of this nation-destroying idea.

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

@WallStreetMav Make California a territory, strip it of congressional representation and electoral votes, appoint a territorial governor and balance the budget for 20 years before the rest of the USA votes on re admission.

California is bankrupt. They cannot afford their spending, meanwhile their top individual and business taxpayers are fleeing the state. If the Democrats capture Congress, expect them to bailout California, New York, Illinois and other blue states with federal money. We will all end up paying for the California disaster.
Molly O’Shea@MollySOShea

BREAKING: David @friedberg says "California is functionally bankrupt" "People don't realize how screwed California is, & I worry that if California falls, so does the union. "$250 billion to $1 trillion short." "This is because for California to get rescued would be a big cost to red states, & I think it creates in the years ahead a lot of tension." "California's functional bankruptcy is a major risk to the country. & I think we need to figure out what we can change to fix it." How we got here: "California has a public pension system, & that public pension system retirees have paid into it & they get some benefits out, & the amount that they're owed back out is somewhere between $250 billion - $1 trillion dollars more than has been paid in. $250 billion to $1 trillion short. If it was the federal government, it would be like, okay, we'll just print more money. California doesn't have the ability to print money, so California has to pay this out, and you can't restructure retirement benefits. There is a Supreme Court case in California that said that once an employee has been offered retirement benefits, even if they're currently an employee, you can never restructure their retirement benefits. It has to stay forever, and the state cannot declare bankruptcy. There's no way for the state to functionally declare bankruptcy. There's no law to allow it. No state has ever declared bankruptcy, and the retirement benefits sit senior to the bonds in California. So you have to pay out the retirement benefits before you pay out all the bond holders that have loaned California the money that they use to run all their programs and services."

@daniel_w_owens I don’t think they deny it. They like the quaint Victorians, the third world squatters, the lack of any services and paying massive taxes for their government masters.

@Riley_Gaines_ Indeed could stroll through a few California high schools and collect a team of boys who not only would beat the world’s best women now, but the best women of all time in track and field.

Garry Kasparov@Kasparov63·
When mail-in voting is limited or eliminated, then selected polling stations are closed or surrounded with "security checks", when poll workers are replaced by ICE "for security", when ballots are confiscated for "fraud", maybe you’ll take it seriously. Too late.
Garry Kasparov@Kasparov63

Anyone who thought creating the largest internal security force in the country, answering only to the president, was for anything else hasn’t been paying attention.

Just was contacted by a big GOP donor wondering why the Senate would go on recess when the DHS isn’t funded & there’s no clear plan to pass the SAVE America Act. I hope our Republican Senate realizes: if you don’t pass the SAVE America Act, you will lose the majority.

Canada is enjoying their diversity as they decline into a 3rd world country. Canada literally has the worst economic performance of any developed country since Trudeau was elected. Carney has changed nothing, same policies. Most of the talented White Canadians are trying to move to the USA. They have given up on Canada. It is estimated that 40% of the top 1% have left Canada. They are being replaced by 3rd world migrants with an average IQ of 70 (below the retarded level).

Let me get this straight. There's SNAP fraud, EBT fraud, Medicaid and Medicare fraud, home healthcare fraud, daycare fraud, medical transportation fraud, and hospice fraud, but definitely, absolutely no election fraud?
