@SenPeterWelch You have of course investigated the Biden auto pen pardons, right? Surely you would be after law and order and not directing an attack against a political party and president you don’t like, right?

I’m launching an investigation into President Trump’s pardons.

@ewarren I thought we were supposed to judge by content of character and not color of skin. Districting by race is both racist and illegal. Black folks still vote. Why does the silence black voters? Try to answer without being racist.
English
Let’s be clear about what this means: Trump’s hand-picked Supreme Court is silencing Black voters.
This is the Republican plan to try and hold onto power.
We must fight back.

@RoKhanna We need term limits for the senate and Congress. The Justices (except for the one that can’t define a woman) serve the constitution, not political ideology. The Justices aren’t the problem.

@arcachronica @WallStreetApes That’s an incredibly small percentage that has always been an exception. They are placed in special ed classes where they won’t disrupt the teaching of the regular track students. It should NOT be argued that we lower the standards for everybody bc of a tiny %age exception.

@TaraBull If you can’t afford to pay your workers, you can’t afford to have hired help. Run the business yourself or get out of the restaurant industry.

@Austen Honestly, I see nothing wrong with hem wanting to hoard their hard earned money and pass it onto their kids though. They worked hard, did something amazing, and deserve to reap the benefits of their hard work. No one else is owed anything.
English
Virtually no one “hoards” their wealth.
Pretty much everyone who is rich turns around and reinvests it almost instantly.

This is fantastic! Congrats, Sky! May your future be bright. I hope you find medical benefits to many other traditional foods and that this become common knowledge and shared recipes.

This is an amazing breakthrough! (Yes I fact checked it 😊) Destiny "Sky" Pete, a high school student and member from the Duck Valley Indian Reservation, scientifically proved that traditional chokecherry pudding (toishabui), made with crushed pits, inhibits cancer cell growth. Her award-winning study, conducted with the help of Dr. Ken Cornell at Boise State University, found that the pudding killed uterine sarcoma cells within just 24 hours. Sky noticed a link between her tribe's health issues and the loss of traditional foods. Partnering with the Dr. Cornell, she found that only the traditional recipe, which includes crushing the chokecherry seeds, possessed the cancer-inhibiting properties. Her project won the First Grand Prize at the Elko County Science Fair, beating over 440 other projects. Sky's research bridges traditional indigenous knowledge with modern science, demonstrating the health value of traditional diets. She plans to expand her research to other types of cancer, including breast cancer 🎀 💗

@DemzDeliver Too bad they can’t enforce laws and mandate don’t he federal government. Money taxed, money wasted as usual.

🚨 HUGE: New York has banned ICE agents from wearing masks.

Steve Hilton or Chad Bianco, who would you pick if it comes down to these two as the general election choices for governor of California?
Hilton: Outsider focused on policy, says homeless encampments are already illegal so clear them out, Trump-endorsed.
Bianco: Sheriff focused on law and order, says homelessness is not a crime, pushes election fraud claims.
They are similar on lowering the cost of living in California, suspending the gas tax, lowering state income tax, deregulation, making homeless encampments illegal, and being pro-Trump.

@GavinNewsom Raising taxes doesn’t lower the cost for families. You’re a monster. Lower the taxes. Families can pay for their own diapers with the money they save on taxes.
English
HUGE NEWS: California just became the FIRST state in America to provide FREE DIAPERS to all new parents.
Launching this summer.
Since I became Governor, we have made preschool FREE, school meals FREE, and expanded paid family leave.
Stop talking about lowering costs for families — DO IT!

@EricLDaugh What is fair share exactly? Please give a number. It’s already around 41% of state and federal taxes annually.

🚨 WOW! Ugandan Mayor Mamdani just DOUBLED DOWN on targeting Ken Griffin and other rich NYC employers, after Griffin said he's going to pour funds into Miami
Socialists really ARE that stupid.
"Ken Griffin, who is a major employer in our city. That does not negate the fact, however, that our tax system is fundamentally broken. It rewards extreme wealth while working people are pushed to the brink. It is a status quo that is unsustainable, that is unjust!"
"We need meaningful tax reform that includes the wealthiest New Yorkers paying their fair share." 🤡

@BreitbartNews @DataRepublican Pretty sure that’s illegal under the Logan act. Who in the government to we involve in prosecuting STAT and why do we have to beg them to do their job?

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) announces she has been working with foreign countries to supply oil to Cuba, in defiance of President Trump.
She says Trump's economic sanctions against the Communist regime are equivalent to illegally bombing the nation's infrastructure.

@mattvanswol This is horrendous. It was 10 point cut offs when I was in school, which to me makes the most sense.
A = 90-100%
B = 80-90%
C = 70-80%
D = 60-70%
F = <60%
English
When I was in school, a "B+" was a 92 and an "A-" was a 93-95.
What was considered an A when you were in school?
English
@mattvanswol Cut off for an A- was an 89.5 and we were very clearly told that we were lucky they were rounding up bc it should be a 90 so don’t even ask if you got an 89.4.

@kfscheibner @CommonCentsAnon @libsoftiktok That family decision for his father probably has something to do with the fact that India revokes or forces citizens to renounce their citizenship to India if they become citizens of other countries. Choosing to keep that could be due to older/ailing family in India.
English
Father (Vadakanchery Ganapathy Ramaswamy): Has never become a U.S. citizen. He remains an Indian citizen and holds an Indian passport. Vivek has publicly stated this was a deliberate personal/family choice.
• Mother (Geetha Ramaswamy): Became a naturalized U.S. citizen after Vivek was born (he was born in 1985 in Cincinnati). She completed the citizenship test and process sometime in the years following his birth.
Vivek himself was born in the U.S. to two non-citizens at the time, so he received citizenship via the 14th Amendment (birthright). These details come directly from Vivek’s own interviews (e.g., 2023 NBC/Meet the Press). No public records contradict this account.
So, according to present law, he’s as much a US citizen as every other 1st gen citizen. I am 2nd generation, btw. Hopefully that clears me in your book.

@amanonhisown Bianco or Hilton. Have to try something new to see any change in California.

@BasedMomma_ @saqshum And if you’re so rural that you don’t have library, then I find it hard to believe you have a university nearby or even closer than a library
English
@saqshum I was just commenting about a public library then saw you posted this. There’s usually at least one per city unless you’re fairly rural. Anyway, I hope you find a nice place to type.
English
it's pretty cool to see a wide variety of views on libraries and public services! for some context, my work only includes typing away quietly in a corner. it'd be fun to be able to do that in a library, even for a small price. alas, public libraries are a rare sight where i live.
