I started putting up the Wessels for Governor signs. To my surprise and delight there were already signs up in the good spots. I was able to locate a couple other strategic spots though. I guess I'll have to widen my circle of influence. @Robert_Wessels

@BernieSanders 🤣🤣🤣So, you support the rampant Fraud, I guess?

Thank you to the packed house in Rochester, MN tonight. Together, we are going to elect Peggy Flanagan to the Senate, re-elect Keith Ellison as Attorney General and take on the greed of the billionaire class in this country.

@nettermike I wonder if he shared those thoughts with Larry David?

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld is taking a jab at electric cars, calling them a “big, stupid virtue signal." “I’m not interested in electric cars at all," Seinfeld reportedly said in an interview. "Anybody else wants to do it, that’s fine. I think it’s a big, stupid virtue signal. ‘Look at me. I’m saving the planet, yeah.’ What about the lithium? It’s all BS."

@RNCResearch This is the whole problem. A career Politician talking about "being open" to a tax cut as long as another tax makes up for it. That's the audacity of our Politicians. They should be "open" to cutting all Taxes. Vote them Out!

NBC: "California has the highest tax on gasoline...would you call on Governor Gavin Newsom to suspend the gas tax?" SCHIFF: "I'd be open to that as long as we place that windfall profits tax on oil companies."

I'm one of you. When energy costs go up, I feel it. When taxes go up, I feel it. We need someone who's in touch with the people in Maine in office.

@DeepNotShallow 🤣🤣🤣You f'n fake goof.

Maine's Senate race will have anywhere from 800k to 1.2M voters... That's it. It's a very very very small election in the grand scheme of things. Republicans can't spend their way out of this. No money can beat the organizing Platner is doing for the working class.

@stockmom $BRK.B

🔫Gun to head, you can only hold one single stock, not an ETF for the rest of your life, what would it be? 🤔

@LocalPoliticsis Shenna loves Nazis. Got it.

Both of these Cowards were afraid to comment on the gun violence in Lewsiton Maine on Thursday. Fact. End of tweet…

@PronkDaniel There is no time limit when it comes to people's money. We all have made bad investments, but if you're going to profit from a channel that talks about investments, you have to own them all. Cheers.

@JC4scott Bringing up mistakes from 4 years ago. Classy!

My wife is getting a new car. At the dealership today, one of the salesman walked up to me and asked if I'm Daniel Pronk. He then proceeded to freak out and said he's been watching my channel forever, and has grown a $300K portfolio by consistently investing. It's still crazy to believe that the content I make in my house actually impacts people in the real world I'm just a regular guy sharing my passion. I'm really no different than anyone else. But it's fun when people recognize me and say hello. Also, I'm hopefully going to save a few bucks on her new Subaru 🤣🙏👌

@MichaelARothman There is a hug pay package with private jet rides to work to be paid for darn it!

@WallStreetApes Another clip showing a "moderator" inserting himself into the debate to go after a Republican candidate. Those "moderators" had an agenda and they sucked.

This is so insane California govenor candidate Tony Thurmond says Democrats plan to address homeless is to spend $10 BILLION MORE on homelessness “$10 billion bond to build affordable housing for those who are unhoused” This will cost taxpayers $17.39 billion after interest California has already spent $27–$37 billion since 2019 on homelessness and homeless numbers went up It’s money laundering to the homeless industrial complex California has to Vote Red

@WallStreetApes 🤣You're paying for this guy's bloated pay package. Including his private jet rides to work.

Starbucks CEO defends a cup of coffee costing $9 He says the customers needs to just not think about it as a $9 cup of coffee, you’re paying for the “experience” of getting a Starbucks coffee “In some cases a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging, and then what that means is we have to make it worthwhile.” He says Starbucks customers “want to have a special experience and regardless of what your income level is, in some cases, a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging — well, this is a really affordable premium experience” How out of touch could a person possibly be…

@juanfloreschaar @grahamformaine

@kipinmaine2 @grahamformaine I agree. Maybe I should have made it easier.

@JC4scott @grahamformaine That is a really good question, and a really hard one.

@ColMoeDavis 🤣🤣🤣Sure thing pal.

The Democratic Party establishment didn’t want Marine Corps Veteran Graham Platner to be their candidate because he was too brash and unorthodox, so they recruited Maine Governor Janet Mills to try and force Platner out of the race. Mainers told the Democratic establishment to go fuck itself, we choose our own candidate, not the party elites. Look forward to the day when that Mainer spine spreads. politico.com/news/2026/04/3…

@NRSmaine @TheMaineWire The owners are horrible people. FACT.

@RNCResearch 🤣“He went through a really rough period…" Isn't that the title of the first Hitler Biography?

Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen defends Maine Democrat Graham Platner’s Nazi tattoo and social media posts, including saying women should "act like an adult" to avoid rape. HOST: "The dude had a Nazi tattoo..." VAN HOLLEN: “He went through a really rough period…"

@WMTWTV "Oyster Farmer." 🤣🤣🤣Stop it.

Maine Gov. Janet Mills has suspended her campaign for U.S. Senate. Her chief competitor in the Democratic primary, oyster farmer Graham Platner, addressed the news during a press conference. Reporter Bonnie Bishop was there and shares what he had to say: wmtw.com/article/graham…
