@ewarren So tax being successful? Change the tax loopholes? Unfortunately that would mean you actually know the tax code. Can you give specific examples of how this tax couldn't be writtem off some other wY? You have no idea what your talking about. Sound bites???

Jeff, how about a two-cent wealth tax?

@ewarren It doesn't help when they don't do their job, should be held to the standard of teaching not by teachers union. Can't imagine a standard where you get a salary based on the negotiation strategy and rules of the lowest output. Private sector be fired?

@sameejo29 @NYCMayor I guess throw breakfast at them and watch them run

@NYCMayor AN EGG!?? What about the harassment protest in front of Jewish residences!

I am aware of the disturbing incident targeting worshippers during Friday prayers outside the Baitul Mamur Mosque in Brooklyn, where a man praying was struck with an egg. 

That hateful act is unacceptable and an affront to the values that define us as New Yorkers. 

My administration is committed to rooting out anti-Muslim hate in all its forms and ensuring every New Yorker can live and worship in safety and dignity. The NYPD Hate Crime Task Force is investigating this incident.

@josearguello97 @SirMichaelRocks Way to make a conflict that affects the whole world about how much it would bail out New York City. How about don't lose money and take care of your own citizens 🤔

@SirMichaelRocks Politicians don’t want you even thinking what Mamdani is doing is possible let alone actually going out and doing it. We’ve spent over $30 billion on the current Iran conflict. They tell us there’s no money for schools, healthcare, etc. It’s there it’s just not a priority.

Can somebody educated in politics explain to me how Mamdani is able to do all this stuff but no other politician is ever able to make any noticeable progress? How does he evade the same bureaucracy the other politicians always blame for not being able to do shit?

@SirMichaelRocks Richest city borrowing money from the state because it's broke.WALL STREET, UN and the epicenter of the financial market is broke and going after the financial markets that made them great. Rich people move it isn't like a decision of middle or poor, they just move and liv better

@SirMichaelRocks Didn't he just raise taxes and then got backed out by the state? Getting to zero with bail outs isn't a win. Did he actually do campaign promises that wasn't already in the budget? Diapers for a select few as a pilot project is for votes..

@saniyafatma1278 I think we see who is the most hated Monster-in-law... Just don't complain if they stop talking to you. YOU'RE Insufferable

@EthanLevins2 Douchebag who cares.

Trump listed height: 6’3” Xi listed height: 5’11” I wonder who’s lying?

@SenWarren So keep paying millions for every event because you have to have it off-site. How much did the bowling alley, basketball court, tennis court, flower gardens cost? If we want to reduce cost let's go minimal. Reduce what we have there and then complain.

$1 BILLION. That's how much Senate Republicans want taxpayers to shell out for Trump’s ballroom. We have to put a stop to this gold-encrusted monstrosity.

@BernieSanders Please show us the companies you are invested in and 1) how much they paid in taxes and 2) did they receive any tax breaks. I bet your complaining while reaping the benefits. I haven't seen any tax code legislation that you have written. You are a Law Maker, shut up or step up...

Amazon cut 30,000 jobs & got a $7.8 billion tax break Meta cut 8,000 jobs & got an $8 billion tax break PayPal cut 4,800 jobs & paid $0 in federal income taxes Disney cut 1,000 jobs & paid $0 in federal income taxes Corporate tax breaks don't create jobs. They enrich the 1%.

@SenSanders How did the millionaires get richer last year? You complained about Musk getting richer my employing thousands and making the world better. Do you think your enormous speaking fees, book royalties and millions in campaign funds are actually helping anyone?

Massive wealth inequality is a global crisis. The world’s 3,000 billionaires got $2.5 trillion richer last year & now hold $18.3T. The 12 richest people own more wealth than the bottom half of humanity. Our goal: create a global economy that works for ALL, not just the few.

@CAgovernor Curious how much CA taxes gas prices? Is it more than 1.56?

Donald Trump's war with Iran is now costing Americans $1.56 more for a gallon of gas. Instead of protecting working Americans from the Trump Administration’s skyrocketing costs, the Republican-led Congress is helping them do more destruction.

@krassenstein Funniest thing is every post milking you supposedly buying for engagement. Trump posts running out of steam, need to shore up those dollars from X with engagement 🙄

FYI: If you’re on X attacking me for buying a vehicle I like because it benefits Elon Musk, you may want to think that one through. Every time you post here to criticize me, you’re helping Elon’s other company, and likely training or feeding the ecosystem around xAI in the process. That’s the problem with purity tests: almost nobody passes them. If you want to trace the political contradictions behind nearly every product, platform, app, service, bank, car, phone, grocery store, streaming service, or AI tool you use, go ahead and ask Grok. Or ChatGPT. Or Claude. The truth is, modern life is full of compromises. I bought a vehicle I like. You’re posting on Elon’s platform to yell at me about it. Maybe we can all climb down from the hypocrisy Olympics for a minute.

@TheWatson725 @SenSanders Didn't every killer AI movie start that way?

@SenSanders May God help us all... It's like the current administration never Saw Terminator or any other movie w/ Psycho AI... SHOULD Be Like I Robot. AI of any kind should have "commandments", eg: Shall not hurt human,shall never hurt, shall never cause human extinction & so on...

The world’s leading scientists are warning that AI could “end civilization as we know it.” 97% of Americans believe AI safety should be subject to rules. When will our government wake up?! We need global cooperation — before it’s too late.

@hakeemjeffries So the residents of your state are moving to Florida because of your policies. But rather than look at what others are doing you lie and attack. Is New York not getting crushed by rising gas prices and devastating inflation?

The lame duck Governor is a failure. Floridians are getting crushed by rising gas prices, skyrocketing home insurance and devastating inflation. The Republican solution is to illegally gerrymander the congressional map. Pathetic.

@NYCMayor Historic fiscal deficit you say and your answer it's a revenue problem and not a spending problem? What a 🤡............

Today, alongside Speaker Menin, I continued our call for a reduction to the Passthrough Entity Tax Credit (PTET) — a tax break for some of the wealthiest New Yorkers. Our city is facing a historic fiscal deficit. The only way to balance our budget without making working people pay the price is by asking those with the most to pay their fair share. Structural problems demand structural solutions.

@TheNBABase Yep and the only thing people are looking at is the loans, not the outrageous cost to go to college. If you stop that then the loans dry up. Even state colleges are unaffordable without loans today.

Steve Kerr on his biggest concern about America Today “When I finished college almost forty years ago, if you went to school and got a degree, you could get a job and you could buy a house. Now that's out of reach for most people between student debt and home prices and the economy slanted toward the very, very top one per cent. We don't really have a middle class, and we don't have what used to represent the American Dream, which was: you can do better than your parents. We're going backward on all that. Our family is lucky. I'm in a position where my family can live well. But there are millions of people out there, young people who are looking at the horizon and saying, "I did everything I was told I needed to do, and I can't buy a house, and I can't chase my dream." Think about what that means for the stability of communities and cities and a whole country.” (Via @NewYorker h/t @warriorsworld )

@PramilaJayapal Organizers need something to organize against, even if they have to manufacture one. How about people that actually have professions and actually add something at an intellectual level. Yell everything is bad and organizing a Rally isn't what our politicians are supposed to do.

I am an organizer who went to Congress. Not a politician who used to organize. An organizer. Still. Every day. Because organizing teaches you things no campaign or briefing book ever will. What people are actually up against. Who you're accountable to, and what happens when you forget. 20 years of that work is the foundation of everything I do in Congress. We need more organizers in power. Not fewer. 💜

@krassenstein So if all these things are true why isn't he in jail? Surely you have proof of all these things, right Brian?

People keep pretending to wonder why there have been so many attempts on Trump's life (Provided that Cole Allen was going after Trump): To me reasons are clear: - Trump is one of the most polarizing figures in modern U.S. politics. - He has helped marginalize minorities, LGBTQ Americans, and immigrants more than any recent president. - He has gone against our Constitution more than any modern president has, making many feel he’s a danger to the Country. - He has enriched himself off of Americans through corruption more than any other president in history, leaving the middle class feeling angry. And to be clear: I oppose violence in all forms. Political violence doesn’t solve anything, it only makes things worse.

@SenWarren Who? Are the companies going to give refunds? If Companies get money from taxpayers (government) is the money they get going to give people back money they spent overpaying for their shit or they pocket both?

Your tariffs were illegal. Give the American people their money back NOW.
