I’m an ideal world, turning on fountains wouldn’t make national news. The awe and joy inspired by projects like this speak to the innate human desire for beauty. America has been in decline for decades now. Crumbling infrastructure, ultra-processed food, pollutants in the water and the air. Ugly skyscrapers and utilitarian public works projects aren’t the solution. The solution is taking deliberate action to restore beauty to America’s public spaces. The corporate press berates him, European aficionados condemn him, but the president believes beauty matters—and he’s right.

I, too, went to see the fountains at Meridian Hill/Malcolm X park this weekend

@johnkartch It’s anti-technology, anti-competition, inherently regressive, and sets a precedent for a gas vehicle tax down the road. There are so many reasons to oppose this.

@CorbanQualls The bill attempts to force state DMVs to collect a federal tax. Major intrusion and sets up big conflict between federal government, state government, DMV personnel, and citizens. Also just politically moronic. atr.org/house-committe…

If signed into law, this bill would impose a $150 annual tax on EVs and a $50 annual tax on hybrids. What is the point of this? Punishing Americans who own efficient vehicles? A thinly-veiled wealth tax? Setting the precedent for a future gas vehicle tax?

No national car tax!

@EYakoby The New York Times has had to issue several redactions and clarifications since October 7th. Their Israel-Hamas War stories are repeatedly littered with staged photos, misattributed footage, and sources who are really just Hamas operatives. The corporate press is dead.

The fact this is the basis of the NYT piece shows just how shitty the NYT standards are. At what point will the issue a public apology?

Ramy Abdul, Kristof’s main source for his NYT piece, posts the exact same debunked claim every few months. Those are hospital ties from October 7th of Israel victims. You’d think Kristof’s main source would be even slightly accurate and not repost verbatim lies.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Iran would rather invest in the rapists and murderers of Hamas than their own people. The BBC and these other media outlets should be covering how evil these people are in Iran and the damage they’ve done to people all over the world.

"'Right now, she’s being out-Mamdanied by a conservative outsider.'" My latest -- on the super-progressive city council member who should have locked up the L.A. mayor's race months ago and her showdown with Mr. Reality TV. thefp.com/p/nithya-raman…

@EYakoby Jew Derangement Syndrome is an epidemic among the Hamas apologists. They see Magen Davids around every corner and behind every door.

The bottom 50% of Americans contribute only 3% of the yearly federal income tax revenue. Payroll taxes are a larger burden for this group, but Jeff Bezos’ proposal is doable and would deliver immediate results.
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.

This is quite literally fake news. The labor force participation rate for recent college grads is about 94 percent. The vast majority are finding jobs. Josh Hawley's fearmongering may play well on social media, but it isn't even close to reality.
Chase Williams@ChaseWilliams_

NEW: Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) on college graduates booing mentions of artificial intelligence at commencement ceremonies this week. “They can’t find jobs. 30-40% of them are unemployed, and they blame AI for this, and you know, they may well be right,” @HawleyMO told me. “We want to see new technology create jobs, not destroy jobs,” he added.

AIPAC Tracker@TrackAIPAC·
We are aware of recent incendiary statements and troubling behavior by congressional candidate Maureen Galindo, currently in a run-off election for the Democratic nomination for TX-35. Most disturbing are her comments calling to jail Americans who identify as Zionists and calls for physical mutilation as a form of criminal punishment. Track AIPAC stands firmly on the side of free expression. Just as we oppose efforts to criminalize the Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement and efforts to codify expressions of support for Palestinian liberation as antisemitism, so do we oppose any effort to suppress or punish the free speech of self-identified Zionists. Calls for cruel and unusual punishment like that which Galindo has promoted are fundamentally in opposition to our organization's commitment to justice and due process. As such we are immediately revoking our endorsement of Maureen Galindo and encourage any others supporting her campaign to follow suit.

@JohnQ7597 @TrackAIPAC What a nasty thing to say. You should be ashamed of yourself. Hamas openly declares in their charter that their intent is to wipe Jews off the face of the planet. Do you agree with this?

@Coba_Commander @freesectionsf @TrackAIPAC Your “evidence of Israeli war crimes” is littered with fact checks and community notes. Do you just ignore them? Do you conduct any research into your stories before you spin them?

@CorbanQualls @freesectionsf @TrackAIPAC “Out of context” incidents when the soldiers are clearly explaining what happened, to the point of celebrating together. I’ve noticed that you have yet to provide evidence of these claims, while we have evidence of Israeli war crimes for years now

‼️FIELD EXECUTIONS, MASS DETENTIONS. Alarming footage of Israeli forces turning a stadium in Gaza into a mass detention camp. The video shows the detention of hundreds of civilians, including women, elders, and BABIES. @EuroMedHR has confirmed that the Israeli forces are carrying out field executions against civilians in Gaza after forcibly removing them from displacement centers and stripping them.
