@michaeljburry Water is a good medium? Appreciate the out of box. Let alone salt.

Data centers on the ocean floor, preferably near transatlantic data cables, do not sell SpaceX shares but make infinitely more sense than data centers in space.

@highyield6 Reported asked if going and grandkids beefing about new wife.

Odd post.. Situation room this weekend??? or just tired of going to his sons wedding(s)?

@AndrewDesiderio Excuse manufacturing because they are being voted out by the voters in primaries. They wanted to be lifetime lords.

New: Senate Republican leaders are coming to grips with the reality that advancing Trump’s priorities may be in conflict with their efforts to retain the majority. “It’s hard to divorce anything that happens here from what’s happening in the political atmosphere around us,” Thune said More than ever, R’s are fearing that Trump’s campaign of self-sabotage will bring them down with him — along with their shared legislative agenda. w/ @LauraEWeiss16 @JakeSherman @BrendanPedersen punchbowl.news/article/senate…

@ThaneCawdor @SensibleFascist The sovereign states are nothing more than their state citizens. State sovereignty not imperiled by direct election. With technology and information distribution seems a better way than considerations at time of original concept.

@Bfklin @SensibleFascist Then hang 10% of the public school teachers. After that I would hope civics education would improve.

Senators having six year terms is insane. The only reason they act this way is because once they win, they are essentially unaccountable to their voters for over half a decade. We need a recall system for Senators.

@DNIGabbard 🙏

Today, with great humility and sincere appreciation, I shared the below letter with President Trump. It has been a profound honor to serve the American people as DNI.

@CricketInSand @SucaLaMinkYa @BradfemlyWalsh Steel forgery started in Africa 1000-500 bce through bloomery process. Viking age didn't start until 800AD.

@Bfklin @SucaLaMinkYa @BradfemlyWalsh Yes. All based upon Europeans and European technology. The large trading posts were Vikings and other Europeans were here before them. All civilization in Africa was created by Europeans. The technology was created or brought by Europeans.

When the tomb of Ramesses ii of Egypt was raided and his body later examined medically, it was discovered that he had naturally ginger hair and pale skin.

@jakecobb @gapatriotgirlx If arrested, far fewer than rioted, and let go scott free, not weaponized campaign and abusive incarceration.

@gapatriotgirlx There were like 14,000 arrests. What are you talking about!?

Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was. Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.

@bollox3d @Thecouchcoach11 @jakecobb @TheRealKielbasa They were ushered in after asking in many cases.

@Thecouchcoach11 @jakecobb @TheRealKielbasa Violent or not, they shouldn’t even have been in that building on that day…and they were well aware of that.

@AceWarIsGreat @NateAFischer @IBeBibby They were rejected by voters for good reason.

@NateAFischer @IBeBibby Trump did this by backstabbing Cornyn and Cassidy They were 2 good senators who voted 99% of the time with us unlike Massie & he backstabbed them anyways Loyalty goes both ways. Now they have no reason to support his policies Trump is his own worst enemy

I’m confused why this settlement fund is so controversial to Republicans. Obama directed billions in settlement $$$ to allied non-profits, and Dems have routinely forced gov’t payouts to their activists for even foot faults by gov’t actors against them. We may not like this system, but is it that controversial to direct some to our own side?

@ThaneCawdor @SensibleFascist That may be. People want to elect their Senator nevertheless as it is important part of getting agenda enacted and forcing it through state elections makes it murkier. Still is voice of state as it is a state election but direct like Governor.

@Bfklin @SensibleFascist Good thing America's not a Democracy. The purpose of the Senate is to be the voice of the sovereign States, not some super house

@burgessev @ShelbyTalcott These guys forget they are in ekected positions.

How Trump lost Senate Republicans, w @ShelbyTalcott - His juice is LOW after Cassidy lost and Trump endorsed against Cornyn, per senators and aides - Senate Rs hated the Paxton endorsement and saw the attack on parliamentarian as low blow - Politically, the anti-weaponization fund is "unexplainable. And that's the problem," said Sen. Cramer. McConnell using Dems' words: "slush fund" - Timing for $1.8 B fund was terrible coming before the reconciliation vote ->"This is a delay of the administration’s making," GOP aide says - GOP spent two weeks wrangling over ballroom security before deciding to drop it; the WH indicated to Rs it could threaten to veto a reconciliation that's not to Trump's liking - Grassley told Blanche admin needs to coordinate more with Congress. Meeting w Blanche an "absolutely shitshow," per person briefed - WH official: “No one should be doubting how he’s able to bend everything to his will" - Sen. Lankford on jilted GOP senators: "None of them are punitive enough that they’re not going to do something to poke him in the eye. But they also represent their state.”

@burgessev @ShelbyTalcott These senators are going to find out. McConnell lost in Kentucky and is not happy and rest are walking on eggshells.

@RepBrianFitz Rubber stamp Ukraine, NGOs, but this? Retiring?

Nearly $1.8 billion in taxpayer money cannot be moved into a new DOJ fund without clear legal authority, defined eligibility standards, or oversight. The American people deserve to know where the money is coming from, who may receive payments from it, and what safeguards exist to protect taxpayers. Yesterday, I called on DOJ to provide those answers. And today, I introduced the Bipartisan Transparency for American Taxpayers Act with @RepTomSuozzi to ensure federal funds cannot be used for the “Anti-Weaponization Fund”. Taxpayer dollars will never be turned into a discretionary payout fund. Transparency is not optional. Accountability is not negotiable. 🔗: fitzpatrick.house.gov/2026/5/fitzpat… I joined @jaketapper to discuss—watch below ⬇️:

@tsarlet2 Just getting started.

Most of these guys just want to survive in their seat for 50 years. Especially in deep red/blue states. Sometimes a Tillis type can see the writing on the wall and plan his own retirement, but the reason they're seething is that Trump allowed the public to fire Cassidy + Cornyn.

@ConanOBrien You've gone full woke. Grift away. You need work.

Here's to Stephen Colbert, a man of great integrity and wit. Onward, friend, to bigger and better things.

@HereToday581533 @juliegraceb They don't care about that. They want to protest their buddies that cover their racket dropping.

@juliegraceb They’re probably more concerned with themselves. Normal. But not against normal people who were hurt. They just don’t want cop attackers to get money

A Sr. Senate Staffer familiar with the lunch tells me: “Apparently U.S. Senators only care about compensating themselves for January 6, but not regular people.”

@nicksortor The Eiffel Tower was loathed by everyone, until it wasn't.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump's Triumphal Arch has just officially been APPROVED by the US government's Commission on Fine Arts .. and this CNN host is on the verge of TEARS over it 🤣 Absolutely TRIGGERED 😂🔥 The 250ft Arch is meant to celebrate America's 250th birthday, equaling one foot per year since our founding. It WILL be built — whether these losers want it or not.

@pelositracker Trump campaigned on making it choice.

The Trump FDA story is crazy Big Tobacco donated $5,000,000 to Trump's super PAC Two days later, Reynolds American's executives met with Trump at his Florida golf club to demand the FDA reverse its flavored vape ban Trump then personally called RFK Jr. and his health secretary to complain about the ban Then questioned the FDA commissioner directly for not moving fast enough The FDA commissioner who said no resigned days later and so did RFK Jr.'s chief spokesperson, citing the vape policy as the reason Then the ban was lifted within a week The White House says it had nothing to do with the $5,000,000

@redfang58 They don't. She does what they want. Imo.

Why do Rs worship the parliamentarian?
