@AdameMedia Glad there's some humor in there, because I'm sure not laughing when I see those prices! 😂

High gas prices have hit America. Americans across the country react:

It's starting to look more and more like, for the rest of our lives, the economy will suck, and weather patterns will become even more extreme. I'm putting eggs in various baskets so hopefully at least 1 takes off, and maybe I will be OK.

@elonmusk Let's work together to ensure the phonies get smaller revenue checks from their X accts!

So many phonies, so few who are the real deal

@JimHansonDC @Onerivr And by "always" of course I mean "sometimes." We all slip. But I think some people don't even try, they just repeat what their favorite personality says.

@JimHansonDC @Onerivr I think it's a lack of applying critical thinking to content we consume. I consume all the same content but I always ask "Is that true?" "Would that make sense?" and fill in the gaps people conveniently leave out of their stories.

Joe Kent implies Israel may have killed Charlie Kirk I’m done with him I took the high ground at first He took the low ground Our paths have fully diverged

GM, happy Friday, thank God we're not in the middle of a battlefield (where applicable).

@friday132029 @TobbeM5 @NiohBerg Exactly my thought. Trump has been calling for Iranians to 'take over their institutions' for months. I believe many good Iranians want to see changes in their country and are willing to step up now.

@TobbeM5 @NiohBerg thats before now the police are being drone targeted so you dont see them in huge numbers as before

Current vibes inside Iran. This is not a country being "indiscriminately carpet bombed" as you can clearly see. Everyone knows they are not the targets for airstrikes, and that it's a war against the oppressive regime. They trust America and Israel to target mullahs only.

@Keds1250878727 @callmeshirlee @SenMikeLee @SenateGOP @SenJonHusted How does the SAVE act suppress votes?

@callmeshirlee @SenMikeLee @SenateGOP @SenJonHusted Republicunts refused to vote for it because it didn’t suppress enough Democrat votes like their SAVE Act does

Chuck Schumer and other Democrats have insisted that they actually support Voter ID—they just object to other parts of the SAVE America Act. Well, @SenJonHusted just asked unanimous consent to pass ONLY the Voter ID portion of the bill. Democrats blocked it.

@SenMikeLee @SenJonHusted Honestly if even just photo ID passes, people can lobby in their own states to shore up other election regs. Too many people waiting for Washington DC Jesus to come and save them.

@ElizabethFarah @KimGeorgeton Look, I don't like H1B outsourcing either, but I don't have to lie to make my argument. Why are you spreading false information about @VivekGRamaswamy ?

Vivek didn’t just hire H1Bs for his company. He hired them for his Presidential campaign! He couldn’t find Americans to work for a political campain!?! @KimGeorgeton

🚨🚨🚨 Black carp alert! Bounty out!

To be clear, I'm supportive of immigration, including allowing non-citizens (with proper legal permission) to obtain driver licenses. Voting rights are different though. And as a civic matter it's up to the people to decide how that's regulated.

Suppose for a sec Congress only passes a bill requiring photo ID to vote in federal elections. Many say this doesn't go far enough, states issue licenses to non-citizens. But what's to stop you from getting involved in YOUR state to change that?

@SenThomTillis States didn't come to their current systems without outside influence, much of it federal. You can't use that as a reason to leave a bad system in place.

I am one of the few members of Congress who has actually passed a voter ID law (on a bipartisan basis), which I did as Speaker of the House in North Carolina, and that’s why I proudly co-sponsored the SAVE Act. While I support strengthening mail-in ballot integrity, many states like Utah, Florida, Alaska, and Montana rely on the use of mail-in ballots to conduct their elections, and we should not be completely upending how states already securely conduct their elections. Even if this issue is fixed, the SAVE America Act still will not have the 60 votes required to pass it. While the so-called ‘talking filibuster’ has been floated as an option, there is a reason why previous attempts to utilize it in recent history have failed. A ‘talking filibuster’ would effectively make Chuck Schumer the new Senate Majority Leader, allowing Democrats to block every single Trump judge and executive branch nominee, and allow them to force endless votes on anything they want. Democrats would control the floor of the U.S. Senate until the end of the year. There are only two ways out of a ‘talking filibuster.’ The first is for Democrats to miraculously give up and allow Republicans to pass the bill with a simple majority. That is never going to happen, and anyone who claims it’s even a remote possibility is either completely misinformed or intentionally misleading the American people. The second way is for Republicans to substantially weaken or eliminate the filibuster altogether. I have made it crystal clear that I will never vote to do this. Eliminating the filibuster is a foolish and lazy idea pushed by politicians seeking short-term gain at the expense of causing irreparable long-term harm to our nation. Succeeding in eliminating the filibuster would significantly weaken the minority party, end the need for bipartisan compromise, and allow erratic swings in policy that would transform America for the worse. Those are just the consequences of a best-case outcome. During the last Congress, all of my Democratic colleagues currently serving supported nuking the filibuster to try to pass their own partisan election reform bill. Democrats were dead wrong to try to change the filibuster when they controlled the Senate, and Republicans would be dead wrong to try to change the filibuster now that we control the Senate. The only real path to address the American people’s declining confidence in our elections is for both parties to find common ground on legislation that supports universal adoption of voter ID, proof of citizenship, and other vital election integrity measures.

@jeff_nitzsche @DanielLMcAdams It completely changes the context and turns what you think is a stupid remark into an apt response to a stupid question. But I know you already know that.

@FoaRyan @DanielLMcAdams that doesnt make his answer any better at all. you understand that, right?

Astonishingly stupid.
