"The pending Paramount-WBD merger “raises national security alarms,” according to the senators, led by U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. The group sent a letter May 20 to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr outlining their concerns."

Thomas Massie lost his primary race in Kentucky by ten points, and instead of exiting with dignity, he decided to sink into the gutter. You don't get to blame an entire foreign country just because the voters in Kentucky were completely done with your garbage decisions in Washington.

@PeterSchiff @TheOfficerTatum Libertarian's are worthless. If you don't have power, you cant' affect change. Both parties just roll over you. Took me some time to realize this as I considered myself a small-gov't centrist.

@gabriel_zucman You’re a proven liar by your own words, so he’s not going to date you in front of all of us my guy. Good luck with your book though. Every household on my street has published a book this year too. All you authors. Amazing.

It is high time we fix this anomaly. I have made a simple proposal in this book, which is coming out today in the UK and this summer in the US. I look forward to your reactions.

Hello @JeffBezos, since you question the results of our studies on the unfairness of the US tax system, please allow me to remind you of the main conclusions of our work, the most comprehensive research to date on this issue.
Jeff Bezos@JeffBezos

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.

@pete_rizzo_ How does a decentralized commodity with unchanging properties lose a plot? These “investors” who point to price charts and talk about Bitcoin like it’s a company have nothing interesting to say.

@krassenstein @AOC Common sense says correlation doesn’t equal causation. Nothing worse than politicians and social media influencers. Both should be shunned and mocked.

SICKENING: AOC Just showed off the Georgia drinking water from Meta's AI Data Centers. Thank you @AOC: "This is the current drinking water in Morgan County, Georgia. Right after a data center was constructed, the metadata center was constructed, the only difference between the clean water and this was that data center. I have another one as well. So this wasn't just one well, these wasn't just one family's situation. This is what the drinking water now looks like next to that data center. And I think both of us can agree that neither one of these things are drinkable. These families now have to ship, in a rural area, have to ship water to their house in order to cook and bathe themselves."

I don't understand Jeff Bezos Why would people who consume the most government resources pay no tax? If anything, they should pay the highest tax rate, not zero Paying taxes is a privilege and you cannot just exempt people because they earn less. That is freeloading This idea of "zeroing out" the poor is exactly why American society is collapsing
Jeff Bezos@JeffBezos

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

As I reflect on yesterday’s victory, I want to begin by thanking President Donald J. Trump for his support, confidence, and unwavering commitment to fighting for our country and the America First movement. I am deeply humbled and honored by the trust the people of Kentucky have placed in me. This victory belongs to the hardworking patriots across our Commonwealth who believe in faith, freedom, secure borders, strong families, and putting America first. To every voter, volunteer, supporter, and friend who stood with our campaign — thank you. Thank you for your prayers, sacrifice, encouragement, and belief in our mission. I will never forget the support you showed my family and me throughout this journey. Over the course of this campaign, I had the privilege of meeting thousands of Kentuckians from every walk of life — veterans, farmers, first responders, small business owners, workers, parents, and young people hopeful for the future of our nation. Your stories inspired me every single day. The Navy SEAL Teams taught me that no mission is accomplished alone. Success requires trust, teamwork, discipline, and people willing to fight side by side for something greater than themselves. I saw that same spirit throughout this campaign, from the farms and small towns of Kentucky to the incredible grassroots team that poured their hearts into this race. While yesterday was a victory worth celebrating, there is still much work to be done. The real mission begins now. I will fight every day to serve the people of Kentucky, support President Trump’s agenda, strengthen our country, and never forget the trust you placed in me. Thank you again for this incredible honor. I am ready to get to work. May God bless each of you, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and the United States of America 🇺🇸

@joshnaa2gez But the sum of it all is still net positive, but living with the results of seeing through dark glass is painful for me. We have lost a generation of youth.

@joshnaa2gez I get this. I struggle hardest with past policy that is now doctrine. And how we have polished certain scriptures into doctrine that have created unintended consequences.

I’ll admit, I love the doctrine and love Jesus Christ, but have a harder time with the church itself. But I recognize the critical role the institution plays in promoting the theology and values and organizing our efforts to build Zion. So I will have faith, and am at peace.

It’s typical for him to behave like the libertarian, Democrat, or RINO that we all know he is. To insult a former Navy SEAL with such a cheap shot is exactly what I expected from him. Now he’ll be making the media rounds, bashing Trump and MAGA in no time. The term “principled conservative” is just a code for the Uniparty, essentially a way to undermine MAGA, like the John Thune/ Paul Ryan faction. We see through it, and we are finished with them, Ted. The gig is up, and we are draining the swamp. What part of representing the peoples will is Congress not getting? Pass the Save Act or MANY of you will meet the same fate.

Delta isn’t dumb. I respect Elon but him pushing for his company to have a monopoly on US airlines is wild. I don’t blame him for fighting for his business though. Delta has seen huge success with its partnerships, one easy to spot is Amex. And unlike the X bubble, normies in the real world mainly just care about the route availability and fare price when it comes to air travel, and that’s coming from a loyal Delta customer and frequent traveler. Internet is nice, and Delta will get there, but the reality is the other carriers won’t have full availability on all flights for a few years anyways.

Delta Airlines CEO in new interview on why they chose Amazon Leo over @Starlink: “Amazon brings a lot more than just satellite technology. They bring great retailing capability and Amazon Prime and video gaming technologies, which Starlink does not have. I think the opportunities, in terms of the improved bandwidth with a much lower price point than what we’ve ever seen from Starlink, will make a big difference. Of course, we expect Starlink will be warning people that we’re going to go with an inferior product. But I’m not too worried about partnering with Amazon.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
