1. On March 11, Trump toured a Thermo Fisher Scientific facility in Ohio and repeatedly praised the company.
On *the same day* Trump bought between $15,000 and $50,000 of Thermo Fisher stock.
The purchase was "UNSOLICITED," meaning it was requested by the customer, not recommended by an advisor.

Fair enough Sir. Thank you for the reply. My convictions and comment were born out of 250 years of the ultimate sacrifice, thousans of young men quaking with fear in foxholes, grieving families and unbearable hardships so citizens have the means to shape their and their family and their fellow citizens destiny. If something more sacred and productive has surpassed the ability to vote, good or bad, I have yet to come across it. Thank you for all you do. I have shaken your hand and thanked you a number of times, but once again, thank you for sharing your expertise. I'll just disagree with your comment and leave it at that.

@Mayflynut I have trouble believing that I have the right to use tghe state to impose my preferences on others, who don't share those preferences.
Believe me, I have preferences, and I have spent millions, supporting them through private philanthropy.

The great American tragedy is in yellow. It's called ignorance and apathy.

Q: If you win the midterms, who gets subpoenaed first? Who's top of mind for you?
JAMIE RASKIN: I don't know. I can't say. There's quite a bit of time between now and then. We're too busy campaigning.

She's not alone. The Murkowski, Begich, Egan, and Gruening families believed they had a God Given Destiny to rule the citizenship of Alaska. Royalty. Most folks who have ever had to deal with Senator Murkowski face to face knows that without her constant huddles with her staff she would not be able to function in her job. She is worse than just a placeholder. She is a major obstacle to most all serious negotiations.
English
Murkowski simply thinks that her last name makes her royalty in Alaska.

@shipwreckedcrew I live in Alaska. You should forward this to Lisa Murkowski. She won't listen to us.

When you know you hold the best cards at the table, you play as if you hold the best cards at the table. At least some do.

🚨 JUST IN: Trump Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just WALKED OUT at the G7 for a group photo after telling our allies to STEP IT UP and help economically devastate Iran Bessent is one of my favorite Cabinet picks! The man is an economic ASSASSIN. Every country dreads being his enemy 🔥

At 71 I am blessed to have reached a point where worries are few and my clock is pretty much my own. I'm a very early riser, 4 to 5 am. I have 45 minutes each morning sitting out on the back lanai staring at a small lake. Doing absoluteley nothing. ALL of my best thinking comes in those 45 minutes. I cherish the time. Maybe a swim if it's warm enough and the good fortune to lay on my back, float and stare at stars. If I don't get that 45 minutes, my day tends to be disoriented and unsettled. I just refer to it as centering. Be Here Now.

A meaningful life is a life aligned with your soul. Doing things just because your love doing them, not to impress anybody. Walks in a museums. Staring at the moon. Sitting by a river. Looking at the rain. Reading thick books. Sipping on some tea and enjoying the sunset sky. Hiking in the lonely mountains. Swimming in ocean. Watching black & white art films. Taking photographs of moments nobody would ever understand. Sitting in silence. A life that makes you feel more like you.

This was a kind preemptive nudge. It should be paid attention to.

Senator @JohnCornyn should easily win the May 26 run-off against scandal-plagued Paxton, not just b/c Cornyn’s seniority is so high and he delivers for Texas, but also b/c he should win Trump voters as Cornyn has stuck with Trump through thick and thin and is a lay-up in November. With Paxton, Texas would go into “toss-up” or even “leans Talarico” column. Paxton has the noisy online slice of the electorate but Texas Republicans are a smart crowd. They know the score and will turn out for Cornyn just as they did in the first round that winnowed the field to two.
ProPublica@propublica
Despite having an office of hundreds of attorneys, Ken Paxton has frequently opted for private lawyers — many to whom he has personal or political ties — to argue on behalf of Texas. One attorney cost taxpayers more than $24,000 for a day’s work. propublica.org/article/ken-pa…

@Denise_OldLady2 Would these be the same 2000 plus volunteers who built tens of dozens of homes for hurricane victims in North Carolina?

All my life I had a very high opinion of Amish people.
Just found out that they quit school after 8th grade?
I learned a tremendous amount of stuff in 4 years from 9th through 12th grade.
Math, English, Literature, History, Science, French.
Some psychology & philosophy.

@PamelaHensley22 @Winters96310300 She's currently doing Thune's dirty work for him. He could replace her tomorrow, but he won't.
She's an Obama pick and she served as former Vice President Al Gore's advisor in the Bush v. Gore 2000 election challenge that was resolved in the Supreme Court.

What do I believe? That we are here clowning around without full and totally uncontested control of our own National Defense-critical military airspace.
Literally what I think.
English
It is entirely unclear what is actually happening. The idea that something is actually happening here is itself quaint.
Maybe it’s ‘real’. Maybe, a head fake. Maybe it’s awesome AF. Maybe it’s dorky dad humor. Maybe it’s a clever way to prepare the world. Etc.
Ad infinitum.

There's a reason @senateGOP is NOT afraid of the voters any more.
Throwing out Cassidy in Louisiana is the first time an incumbent senator has lost their seat in 8 elections .. since 2012.
And just look at the F'ing money the @NRSC has/is throwing at Cornyn and Graham. It's disgusting.
Take the pledge ... I will Not Vote for any incumbents in the primaries
I suggest stop giving money to the Incumbent reelection campaign slush fund operated by the @GOP

@907Honest They're all out surfing and could give a fuck less what they do at city hall. 😄

Let me know when they let you into a penitentiary, sewage treatment or water, any military facility or floating vessel, civil traffic light nerve center, aviation control tower, fire station, or nuclear power plant. It would appear you still have a wee bit of learning still left to do. Keep at it, keep engaged and keep learning.

@Mayflynut @ak_wolverine @SecretaryBurgum @907Honest @POTUS Freedom is scary and publicly funded should always mean publicly accessible.

Ambler Road is more than infrastructure - it’s a pathway to unleashing American Energy Dominance and strengthening our mineral security.
Under @POTUS, we are unlocking Alaska’s vast resources to power America’s future with resources made here at home.

@DonDurrett It's still a damn good bargain in this environment. Send a 10 pound package across the country and find out first hand. Scale. The United States Post Office is broken. Won't last 10 years.

@907Honest Absolute Horseshit. Blind Trust. ALL Of It. Unbelievable Ignorance.

@ak_wolverine @SecretaryBurgum @907Honest @POTUS Not always a smart idea. There are a LOT of stupid reckless inconsiderate asshole people out there. That land is being loaned. They have a right to guard it. Tax payer money is a small price to pay for keepong uninformed keyboard wizards from freezing to death in the dark.

@SecretaryBurgum @907Honest @POTUS If one cent of taxpayer money is used for this road, it needs to be public.

@RealJamesWoods They don't want our culture. They want our land and our natural resources. They WILL take it by force the moment they believe they have a chance at doing so successfully.
English
Let’s get it clear once and for all. It’s not about race, folks. That’s a Democrat trick. It’s about CULTURE. Am I a racist? Absolutely not. Am I a culturalist? Unequivocally, yes.
If you can’t assimilate to this culture, our values, our laws, and our traditions, get out.
