@SenateGOP True

Inflation was more than two times higher under Democrats than it is now. Under Biden and Schumer, prices skyrocketed from 1.4% to over 9% in less than 2 years. Gas prices also reached an all-time record high.

@SenMarkKelly You grew up in a different era. If you grew up in today's era, your math teacher would have helped you realize you're a girl and need to take gender altering drugs... if you made it to the age you are now you would be, "half the man you used to be..."

My high school math teacher was the first person who helped me realize I liked math and was pretty good at it. That’s what public schools do. But Trump’s voucher program will drain them of the resources they need. I’m fighting for every kid to have what I had.

What number do you see? RT LEVEL- VERY HARD Nobody is yet to find the number Correct answer wins $7,000 Ends 22hrs

@SenMarkKelly The middle class is a scam.

Trump's national school voucher program will drain resource from public schools and cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. I introduced a bill to repeal it. Public schools are the best pathway to the middle class. Let's keep investing in them.

@NancyMace No money due to fraud.

What do you think is the real reason our roads never get fixed?

@XekiHlongwane A transformer! Which one, Bumble Bee, optimus... cool. We can't just buy transformers and install them on the electric companies poles where I'm from... even if we are trying to disingenuously buy votes.

A man bought and installed a transformer for his community right before an election. When the residents didn’t vote for him, he removed the transformer, saying, “You didn’t vote for me, so find your own light.”

@SenWarren @amprog I was stoked after reading that first sentence... I thought you were going to resign.

We can’t be afraid of big, structural change. That means affordable, high-quality child care for every single American family. I'm at @amprog's IDEAS Conference talking about how to get it done.

@BrianAtlas Tell me something I don't know.

A study done on 361,645 job applications in almost 30 countries over the last 40 years discovered the hiring bias in society is actually against MEN, not women.

@SenateGOP TDS

Democrats have shut the government down in some form for more than 100 days of President Trump’s second term. They do not care about protecting Americans or lowering prices.  They only care about attacking President Trump, whom more than 70 million Americans voted for.

@Blueverse01 Isn't Colbert's show getting cancled anyway. I saw them recording a farewell piece in NY on Monday outside the iconic Ed Sullivan theater.

Jason Aldean walked off the set of Late Night with Stephen Colbert before playing a single note after the “comedian” tried to humiliate him in front of the audience. “Colbert was introducing him,” said Aldean's manager, Ben Jarroo. “Then he made a crass, unnecessary statement about ‘forgiving him’ for supporting President Trump. Jason wasn’t having it.” When Colbert said his name and motioned for the curtain, there was nobody there. Aldean and his band had walked off—and they won’t be coming back. h/t: Marcia G Jones Is this the right way to respond to such behavior, or should it have been handled differently? Yes or No?

@RobertMSterling Fake news. I fly out of Wichita regularly, and that is not a picture of a Wichita gate.

I just had the craziest experience at the airport. We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight. Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.” Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess. The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.” He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.” Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate… Start clapping. I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message. All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest. It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time. @Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.

@jessica_lovee95 We are not pretending. Where are all the respectful, graceful, women with class. No crazy tattoos, no claw nails, no fake anything, minimal make up, REAL women. Women we can love, cherish, provide, and protect.

A lot of single men seem completely checked out of dating now, like they replaced romance with gym memberships, football, and pretending they’re happier alone.

@xevekiah Real.

What changed me was watching my dad beg my mom not to leave after 14 years of marriage, and said she never really loved him. only to find out there was already someone else. Months after they separated, he admitted he had known for a long time that there was another person. He just stayed quiet because he didn’t want our family to break apart. One night he said, “If I didn’t have children, I would’ve ended my life already.” That sentence never left me. And yet somebody would still easily tell us “That’s still your mom.” Fuck that.

@mattvanswol Love this.

🚨#BREAKING: Hundreds of people have just shown up to the funeral of 98-year old John Bernard Arnold III, a WW2 veteran with no known relatives. The public was invited to attend to ensure the veteran was honored and not laid to rest alone. Hundreds came. Absolutely beautiful.

@FmrRepMTG Bitter?

I am proud and thankful to have served in the U.S. House of Representatives with my friend Thomas Massie, a giant among weak pathetic men. Releasing the Epstein files was our demise. But it was worth every single bit because now everyone knows the truth. You are ruled by the Epstein class that cares nothing about you and your elected leaders are bought and controlled by a foreign lobby. Tonight the future of the Republican Party was destroyed. The Real America First Movement will rise led by the younger generations, who hate the old guard with an unquenchable passion. Let us pray that we have a country left by the time these creatures are gone.

🏀 En 1987, Michael Jordan a inscrit 3 000 points... Près de 40 ans plus tard, aucun joueur n'a réussi à égaler ce total sur une saison. Les joueurs s'en étant le plus approchés sont : - Michael Jordan (1988) : 2 868 points - Kobe Bryant (2006) : 2 832 points - James Harden (2019) : 2 818 points Pour battre le record de Jordan, un joueur devrait disputer les 82 matchs d'une saison et afficher une moyenne de 37,2 points par match 🤯 Lors de la saison 1987, Jordan a enregistré en moyenne : 37 points, 5 rebonds, 4 passes décisives, 3 interceptions et 1 contre par match.

@TheSCIF Pass the dam SAVE act!

How is it possible in Wisconsin to have 7+ MILLION registered voters, but only 4 MILLION legal aged adults allowed to legally even register to vote? Almost double the amount of people registered than legal aged voters. This is called VOTER FRAUD.

@HackingDave My son wanted a vette. I told him he could have the 85 300zx if he could get it running. He did. He then sold it and bought a 96 vette with a spun rod bearing. He fixed it; now it's 500hp. Trans went out. He took it apart too and fixed it ... proud dad (may have helped a little)

Surprised our son for his 18th birthday. We got him a car but the agreement was he would have to work to pay the car off and we would pay for half. He worked his butt off being a Taco Bell employee straight for two years. Never missed a day or a car payment. Even on top of that was able to save substantial money in his bank account. Just told him today we paid his car off. His first response was perfect: are you guys sure? I can still work. These moments I’ll always remember.

@ImtiazMadmood In other news, Japan discovered Jack's hiding spot of the mythical golden goose.

Japan just turned thin air into fuel. No oil rigs. No drilling. No pipelines stretching across oceans. Just water, CO₂, and a process that flips combustion on its head. ENEOS Corporation, Japan's biggest oil refiner, pulled it off at their Yokohama lab. They built a demo plant that sucks carbon dioxide straight from the atmosphere, splits hydrogen out of water using renewable energy, then fuses them through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis into liquid hydrocarbons. The result? Real, usable synthetic petroleum. The kicker: this fuel is "drop-in ready." That means it works in the cars you already drive, the planes already in the sky, the pipelines already in the ground. Zero modifications. They didn't just brew it in a beaker either. They ran actual vehicles on it. It works. Think about what that unlocks. Countries with no oil reserves could manufacture their own fuel using nothing but sunlight, wind, and the air around them. The geopolitical chessboard would flip overnight. Sectors that electrification can't easily touch, like aviation and heavy shipping, suddenly have a clean fuel path. There's a catch, though. The process is hungry. The same electricity it takes to brew one liter of synthetic fuel could push an EV about 200 km down the road. ENEOS quietly shelved the project in 2025 because the economics didn't math out yet. But the science? Proven. The blueprint exists. Someone, somewhere, will crack the cost problem. And the day they do, the oil map of the planet gets redrawn. - @ScienceFocusonX
