Freedom is having choices in your Life, the more choices, the more Freedom. Simple, imho.

@LucasSa56947288 Remember, we did this to ourselves…

WATCH: Here’s Donald Trump getting off Air Force One to go golfing in Florida while the war in IRAN continues! What do you notice here?

@Acyn Bingo!

AOC: We’re seeing economies around the world — including in the United States — where extreme levels of income inequality lead to social instability and, in a sense, drive authoritarianism… That is a direct outcome not just of income inequality, but of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver — the failure to deliver higher wages, the failure to rein in corporations. The point was just made about antitrust. Antitrust in the United States is such a foundational bedrock value — not just because the ascent of monopolies creates abuses of corporate and market power, but because there is a level of market concentration and corporate consolidation where a massive company can become so large that its consolidated power rivals that of nation-states. In democracies, we have elected leaders. But when massive corporations begin to consume the public sector and gobble up public spending, they start to call the shots. And we’re starting to see this with some members of the billionaire class throwing their weight around in domestic and global politics. So it is of the utmost urgency that we get our economic houses in order and deliver material gains for the working class. Otherwise, we will fall into a more isolated world governed by authoritarians who also do not deliver for working people.

@mhmck Yep, you nailed it, again. What a mess we’re in…

Putin controls Trump. If Trump seizes Greenland the USA loses all its allies and gains nothing. Putin wants this. If Trump were to help Ukrainian defenders defeat the Russian invaders the USA would restore its place as the leader of the Free World. Putin doesn't want this.

What if Trump’s dementia is urging him to take the rest of us with him to the grave?

@elonmusk Old guy in North Phoenix waiting eagerly for Tesla Robotaxi. Groceries, doc appts, visiting friends and family… make it happen @elonmusk, thx.

A Tesla with no safety monitor in the car and me sitting in the passenger seat took me all around Austin on Sunday with perfect driving

@RichardAngwin Truth!

While bigots like Trump and Republicans spread fear and demonize Muslims, remember: a brave Muslim man took bullets to disarm a terrorist and save Jewish lives at Bondi Beach. Humanity > hate.

@Rothmus @elonmusk We’re doomed, fucking doomed, I tell you!

Fact

@BriMakesSence @WalshFreedom Maga propaganda, Brian

@WalshFreedom The difference was we USED to take in immigrants who didn’t ask for hand outs, wanted to work hard, contribute to society, and EARN their success chasing the American dream. Now too many are coming to get the “free stuff” and destroy everyone else’s pursuit of the dream.

This is devastating. This is horrible. This is the very antithesis of what America is. Every Republican should lose in 2026 because of this. Every single one. This is on them. This is on all of them.👇

@CBSNews CBS has been ruined

Three months after her husband, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated, Erika Kirk will open up about life, loss, the state of political discourse and more in a one-hour town hall event moderated by Bari Weiss, CBS News' editor-in-chief. cbsn.ws/3MfRu0K

Like the atomic bomb, AI exceeding human capabilities should ONLY be in the hands of the military. But, I think the proverbial cat is already out of the bag, and we’ve plunged a knife into our own hearts… …sad, so much for cute human tricks.

@RonFilipkowski Deluloooooooo

Sometimes she makes Nance Mace seem sane by comparison.

@washingtonpost I’ve been watching CBS News for most of my life, I’m 74, just switched to ABC, their news coverage has gone to shit, sorry, but true.

One month into Bari Weiss’s tenure as editor in chief at CBS News, staffers are weathering a flurry of layoffs, shifting resources and a cultural collision with Weiss’s ideas of how to tackle the news. Here’s a look into the evolving TV newsroom: wapo.st/47XJr0R

@SenatorSlotkin Our next generation of Democrats, thank god!

The House is on vacation. Get your butts to Washington to negotiate.

Nothing like a serious war to juice up the old economy

Well, strong chance we’re heading back into another war.  One involving many countries.    My bet is the US Economy will become one of producing and exporting intelligent autonomous war machines and munitions.  Yep.   If you’re looking for a job, look in the military industrial complex, supply chains, and transportation.  If you’re an investor, think real estate, treasuries, gold/silver/copper commodities, semiconductors, and automation.  Careful with marketable securities, crashes happen.   I do not see these wars going nuclear.  Fortunes will be made.  New physics will be discovered.  Living standards will decline.   The winner will own the next 80yr cycle… if winning an option.

You must hand it to the Trump voters, they wanted someone in the Whitehouse just like themselves… and they succeeded grandly. 🤷‍♂️

July 1935 German generals were called to a surprise assembly in Berlin and informed that their previous oath to the Weimar constitution was void and that they would be required to swear a personal oath to the Führer. Most generals took the new oath to keep their positions.
