We’re not meant to live on isolated islands. None of us do it alone--we rely on workers every day. Yet too many can’t afford to live decently. This isn’t about making everyone equally wealthy. It’s about making sure the people holding society together can afford a good life too.

It’s weird seeing Republicans cheering on a tax hike. But I guess as long as it’s not a tax hike on the people that can most afford it then it’s okay.

@kittygang_4ever It’s very similar to Trump’s “just stop testing and covid goes away.” The idiocy is ridiculous

Stupidest way to run a country right here. This completely disregards the work done by good Americans trying to feed their families and do their jobs. I guess we should expect nothing less of a billionaire who doesn't value actual work done by actual people.

Vivek Ramaswamy's thought experiment for reducing the size of government on @lexfridman: "Day 1, anybody in the federal bureaucracy who's not elected, whose Social Security number ends in an odd number, you're out. [Day 2], of those who remain, if your Social Security starts in an even number, you're in, and if it starts with an odd number, you're out. That's a 75% reduction." "Now imagine that you could run that thought experiment at scale, but you had a metric for screening people who had the greatest competence, as well as the greatest commitment and knowledge of the Constitution. That would immediately raise not only the civic character of the United States... it would also stimulate the economy. The regulatory state is like a wet blanket on the economy." "One of the virtues of that thought experiment is you don't have a bunch of lawsuits you're dealing with about gender discrimination or racial discrimination... [And] the reality is... on Day 3, not a thing will have changed for the ordinary American, other than their government being a lot smaller and more restrained, and spending a lot less money."

@elonmusk Adding a new government office will really jumpstart that efficiency won’t it?

Trying desperately to avoid coming up with policies supported by a majority of people. Instead of cockamamy trade ideas the GOP could actually work to show they have policies that will help people get ahead. It’s clear that trickle down doesn’t work, time to let it die.

If Wisconsin traded Madison to Michigan in exchange for the U.P., we could be redder than Alabama. Plus, all of the Madison politicians, bureaucrats and lobbyists would be gone. It’s a win, win. Make the trade!

The new “Boss” Tweed everybody. If you thought history isn’t relevant you’re solely mistaken. History doesn’t repeat but it sure does rhyme.

Every day, from now through Nov 5, @America PAC will be giving away $1M to someone in swing states who signed our petition to support free speech & the right to bear arms! We want to make sure that everyone in swing states hears about this and I suspect this will ensure they do.

If you believe women should control their own bodies gay people should have the same basic rights as the rest of us in the Constitution and the rule of law Then you MUST vote for Democrats up and down your ballot. Your rights depend on your vote.
