@AimeeChew891764 No, humans are not more important than animals.

The monster who hurled a rock at Lani, the endangered monk seal in Maui, is 37-year-old Igor Lytvynchuk from Seattle.
After being confronted the sicko replied: “I don't care, I'm rich, fine me. I can pay for it.”
He has since been detained, but has yet to be charged as the case was referred to federal investigators. He must be held accountable.
Anyone who would assault and harm an endangered animal like Lani is a danger to the entire planet and belongs behind bars.
And for all those wondering, Lani is ok! A marine biologist went to check on her and she is going to make a full recovery.

@GOPMajorityWhip I don’t come over to this cesspool platform very often, but your comparison of ice agents identifying themselves to voters identifying themselves is so vile, anti-American and disgusting that I had to tell you what a sub-human you are.

@MarshaBlackburn I don’t come to this cesspool X often but I wanted to stop by and say what a monster you are. How dare you go after Judge Jackson for attending an award show when the leader of your party that can’t go a day without committing a criminal offense. Shame on you

@SecVetAffairs I don’t come on this cesspool platform very often. But I felt it important to say what a vile human being you are

We can confirm Alex Pretti was a nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. As President Trump has said, nobody wants to see chaos and death in American cities, and we send our condolences to the Pretti family. Such tragedies are unfortunately happening in Minnesota because of state and local officials’ refusal to cooperate with the federal government to enforce the law and deport dangerous illegal criminals.

@lisamurkowski Congratulations, you’ve proved yourself as vile as all the rest of them

This was one of the hardest votes I have taken during my time in the Senate.
My goal throughout the reconciliation process has been to make a bad bill better for Alaska, and in many ways, we have done that. In addition to extending pro-growth tax cuts, a larger child tax credit, and no tax on tips or overtime, we made a historic investment and modernization of the Coast Guard; enhanced our border security and national defense; funded aviation safety, including AWOS/VWOS systems that will save lives; and provided tax-exempt status for the Community Development Quota Program to help western Alaska communities establish a sustainable economy, among other provisions.
We have advanced new opportunities for resource development in the NPR-A, the Coastal Plain, and Cook Inlet that will help us create jobs and increase the share of revenues our state receives. I also co-led the Senate effort to restore a slightly longer phase-out for wind and solar tax credits while deleting a punitive excise tax targeting them.
Those provisions will benefit our economy, but it is the people of Alaska that I worry about the most, especially when it comes to the potential loss of social safety net programs—Medicaid coverage and SNAP benefits—that our most vulnerable populations rely on.
To address the bill’s shortcomings, we have helped our communities through a $50 billion rural health fund. This will mean hundreds of millions of dollars for Alaska hospitals, community health centers, and other providers. We secured commitments from the CMS Administrator to continue to address longstanding priorities which will directly help Bartlett, Fairbanks Memorial, Central Peninsula, and other hospitals in Alaska.
In the SNAP program, we have added tribal exemptions for work requirements, delayed cost-share penalties to help Alaska get benefits to the people who need them, and included work requirement waivers that align with our Medicaid policies. We also secured commitments from the Secretary of Agriculture to provide additional flexibilities to Alaska for SNAP.
But, let’s not kid ourselves. This has been an awful process—a frantic rush to meet an artificial deadline that has tested every limit of this institution. While we have worked to improve the present bill for Alaska, it is not good enough for the rest of our nation—and we all know it.
My sincere hope is that this is not the final product. This bill needs more work across chambers and is not ready for the President’s desk. We need to work together to get this right.

@brianglenntv I wanted to know the identity of the “reporter” who asked Zelensky about his suit while his sovereign nation is viciously invaded and his people murdered. This video captures how I feel.
I doubt shame is in your repertoire, but you should be deeply ashamed

@BillAckman @realDonaldTrump You helped make this happen Bill. You were suckered

The country is 100% behind the president on fixing a global system of tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But, business is a confidence game and confidence depends on trust.
President @realDonaldTrump has elevated the tariff issue to the most important geopolitical issue in the world, and he has gotten everyone’s attention. So far, so good.
And yes, other nations have taken advantage of the U.S. by protecting their home industries at the expense of millions of our jobs and economic growth in our country.
But, by placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital.
The president has an opportunity to call a 90-day time out, negotiate and resolve unfair asymmetric tariff deals, and induce trillions of dollars of new investment in our country.
If, on the other hand, on April 9th we launch economic nuclear war on every country in the world, business investment will grind to a halt, consumers will close their wallets and pocket books, and we will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate.
What CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable making large,
long-term, economic commitments in our country in the middle of an economic nuclear war?
I don’t know of one who will do so.
When markets crash, new investment stops, consumers stop spending money, and businesses have no choice but to curtail investment and fire workers.
And it is not just the big companies that will suffer. Small and medium size businesses and entrepreneurs will experience much greater pain. Almost no business can pass through an overnight massive increase in costs to their customers. And that’s true even if they have no debt, and, unfortunately, there is a massive amount of leverage in the system.
Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe. The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for.
The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system.
Alternatively, we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down.
May cooler heads prevail.

@AlisonBechdel I just discovered your opus and greatly enjoyed Funhouse and secret to superhuman strength. I think you’re one of the 10 people I would invite to a dinner party if I could invite anyone in the world. Hope to see you on bluesky instead of this cesspool X!

MAGA’s are complaining that they are losing friends and even significant others after the election.
What do you say to them?

@BarbMcQuade If you read at a third grade level, who are you going to think is looking down on you, the person speaking to you at a third grade level or the person speaking to you at a 12th grade level. The style of the message is what gets heard, not the substance
