@BasedMikeLee The Y-axis isn’t even labeled on the chart.

Law school faculties everywhere reacting to this chart: “We’ve got way too many conservatives; even one more would tip the balance.”

@RedWavePress So increase the number of people who don’t contribute anything to running the government? Once you do so the next group up will be the 3% and Jeff Bezos will want to eliminate taxes for them as well.

NAILED IT: Jeff Bezos: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year pays more than $12K a year in taxes. Does that really make sense?” “So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes? At all!” “Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year paying more than $1K a month in taxes?” “That’s $1K a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.” “And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to? The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It’s only 3%.” “We can find 3%. So we don’t have... it’s a small amount of money for the government. You know that. And the more I thought about it, to me, it’s kind of absurd that we’re doing this.” “We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology. It really makes no sense.” Exactly!

@SenFettermanPA @DrunkRepub New York City can’t even build a toilet for this price. This doesn’t seem too crazy.

Stop this henpecking. $13M? This is an iconic American place and was in serious disrepair. Get over the TDS and celebrate this is getting done for our 250th. 🇺🇸

@mtgreenee Perhaps they treat it differently when it is the POTUS. Or perhaps mass shootings are different than attempted political assassinations.

Why does every shooter have a manifesto? Most shooter’s manifestos remain classified so they don’t inspire more would be shooter’s. Why did they release Cole Allen’s manifesto almost immediately?

@nickshirleyy @BarackObama His message is correct and we often criticize politicians for speaking before the facts are out. This is a decent message from him. I also believe this was political, but we are only speculating until we get the facts.

@BarackObama Wdym by “although”? It’s obvious what the motive was, call it out for what it is.

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.

@LeesiBB Are they “healthier?” Or just not artificial? The issue is that he is focusing on something that is a complete non-issue.

i’m no fan of RFK jr. but can we stop pretending that swapping out dyes like red 40 and yellow 5 for healthier options is some sort of travesty. america is so addicted to being fat.

@RedListCommando @Polymarket @pambesteder Is this income per person to GDP per capita?

@Polymarket @pambesteder 👇😉

JUST IN: New analysis reveals Brits thought the UK ranked 7th against US states in income per person — it actually ranked 51st.

@TheGalleryAuto1 @Polymarket 14thbin the world isn’t “good”? This chart compares countries the size of many of our states. Pick affluent states and you’d see a different story.

@Polymarket America is the land of the millionaires and billionaires. Turns out it’s not as good for the average American

@BrickCenter_ Imagine if a male reporter had asked that question.

Cathy Engelbert was PISSED when asked how much longer she’ll be the WNBA commissioner 😭 Cathy: “I wonder whether you would ask that of a man." Reporter: “I would.” 🤣

@RiedellAndrew I’m guessing the players heard what was said based on their pointing. Without knowing what it was it is hard to judge their motives.

This is bush league. Watch how the Utah guys react when they see he gets ejected. Willie Bloomquist has every right to be that pissed.

@JetLife677306 @heatdaddy69420 Sarcasm

@heatdaddy69420 What about the other pictures of them hugging? What about the other pictures of them laying next to each other on floats in the pool holding hands? You sound like a idiot

If you’re a guy and you’re upset about your wife having her hair in a ponytail with her fingers interlocked with the hands of a NFL football coach on the rooftop of an extremely intimate 5 star adult only resort in Sedona Arizona, you’re simply just insecure. No other comments

@PaulMarcoe Ozone Layer

4 things I think most GenX was afraid of. Acid Rain Quick sand Bermuda Triangle Amnesia What else?

@Me_404x @FilmUpdates According to google, industry analysts now consider $300M to $500M domestic, or $500M to $1B worldwide, as the new target for high-budget films to be blockbusters. But it must also gross 2.5x to 3.0x its cost to break even. So it might not be quite there yet.

@FilmUpdates Is this consider blockbuster or not?

‘PROJECT HAIL MARY’ has grossed over $400M worldwide — now eyeing a $620–700M finish. It cost $190M to produce.

@FXStrypes @stoolpresidente Let’s work on apostrophes first.

@stoolpresidente You know youre only supposed to use 1 space between sentences?

Let me be the 1st to congratulate Illinois on a great season. They should be very proud. Just making it this far is a huge accomplishment for them. No reason to hang their heads. A true happy to be here team. Now it’s up to Michigan to finish the job for the Big 10 as we knew it would be. But it won’t be easy. Arizona is a beast. UConn is UConn. But this is why we are Michigan Men! When others fall we rise. Let’s do it for the conference! Let’s do it for Little Brother and Tommy Sweet 16! Let’s do for Ohio State and their non existent basketball program. Let’s do it for Willy Compton and Nebraska! Let’s do it for all the Illinois fans who I met at my hotel for a brief 1 night stay. Most of all let’s do it for Michigan! The Leaders and Best! #Goblue

@BasedMikeLee “If it were true, the corn industry wouldn’t have to spend so much money telling you it was true.” That is all you need to know.

If that were true, the DC Cornography Caucus™️ wouldn’t have to spend so much time saying it. Higher ethanol = cheaper per gallon, but worse mileage, corroded engines, higher food prices, and billions in hidden RIN/pump costs. Biofuels “save money” the DC way: by ignoring math.

@olymasic @b_connerton

@b_connerton That’s the one-way price

Trying to book a one-way flight from Salt Lake to SF five Sundays from now and this is what Delta’s charging. I used to have so much brand loyalty to them but that’s all evaporated now

@olymasic @b_connerton 5 Weeks from today is May 10th and I can find ROUND TRIP options for $234.

@Judianna Star Battle

The One Commandment. 😎

@btharris93 Maybe because she has other cameras set up to shoot the rocket and so she wanted to also get this picture?

Why would you take a selfie during a once-in-a-generation rocket launch?

@TheLaurenChen Nobody gets the receipt back after they write the tip in. They write the tip in and leave. This interaction would never take place.

Assuming these people were at the restaurant for 2 hours A $60 tip means this server made $30/hour off this ONE TABLE Is that not enough for a waiter to make? Does being a waiter really need to be a $150/hour job? The entitlement behind a lot of tipping culture is insane
