.@nationalcares a BMW X2 qualifies as a booked "Mid-Size Luxury" for Executive Members? Really? ORD is a joke.

I've introduced HR 8470, the Surveillance Accountability Act, with @RepBoebert. It requires a probable cause warrant before the federal government can search your private data — even if that data is held by a third party. Warrantless searches are unconstitutional.

If the government wants to read your emails, it should have to convince a judge first. That's what the Fourth Amendment requires. That's what my Fourth Amendment Restoration and Protection Act restores. No warrant, no search.

Your annual Donald Rumsfeld IRS Tax Day Letter appreciation post.

.@XfinitySupport perhaps a public message will help your math. Monday 3/9 2030 CDT until Thursday is in no way, shape, or form possible to add up to "4.5 hours" of downtime or even rounded to a day. That was 60 hours of outage.

The name of a killed service member covered up by a Dow Jones index ticker is a pretty grim metaphor for how America often operates.

.@Comcast @XfinitySupport Multiple DMs ignored for days. Need property notes corrected + outage credit applied. Advanced tech support call was a complete waste of time — your Thursday technician was the one who actually saved the day. Please respond.

After 20+ years as a @XfinitySupport customer I know what bad service looks like. Today’s tech was the complete opposite — methodical, professional, and actually fixed the root cause. Rare. Give that man a raise...seriously. And 3rd party auth provider too! Will DM with details.

.@XfinitySupport to whom do I send the bill to for wasting 6 minutes of my time for your "advanced" technical support to call & try everything that was already done or push resets the ai agent already tried. Complete waste of your and my time. Oh and 12+ hours offline..tech thurs

The use of female altar servers has proven controversial in some US dioceses, and among some bishops, but, apparently, not in the Diocese of Rome or for its bishop.

@CharlesK67 Sure. Tax brackets are progressive. Only the portion of your income that falls within each bracket is taxed at that rate. Ex. You make $52,000. The $0–50k tax bracket is 10%. The $50k-100k bracket is 20%. you pay: 10% on the first $50,000 20% on the remaining $2,000

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!) This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswillho…

saw a tiktok on a pretty big account that was called “when your company gives you a raise that’s not actually a raise” and the reason was that the raise “put you in the next tax bracket up” and all the replies were like “I can’t believe our tax system works this way.”

The law requires Congress to permit a vote on Presidential emergencies within 15 days of being declared. Today the Speaker is trying to pass a resolution that literally says a day is not a day, just to avoid voting on the emergencies that underpin the tariffs. Smoke & mirrors!

I have seen the video of ICE’s latest shooting. It is sickening. It was an execution. The Trump Administration will undoubtedly concoct a story to justify their crimes. Do not believe them. The entire Trump White House is complicit. Every Member of Congress who voted for a massive increase in ICE funding last summer is complicit. Every Republican in the House who watched Renee Good’s murder and then refused to demand Speaker Johnson conduct oversight is complicit. It is beyond shameful. It is eternally damning.

holy fucking shit

“We generated millions in pure profit by making the standard service worse” is literally the slogan of the last 2 decades for every commodity in the country.

“It is not permitted, under the laws and customs of honorable warfare, to order that no quarter be given — to apply lethal force to those who surrender or who are injured, shipwrecked, or otherwise unable to fight. nationalreview.com/corner/we-inte…

If the person isn’t guilty, this is theft.
