Don't let the Democrats fool you. They do not care about gas prices.
Under Joe Biden, gas was over $6, and the Democrats were actively trying to ban the internal combustion engine.

The governor needs to step in and replace the entire board of trustees at Michigan State. Year after year, headline after headline, not once has it been a positive for our University. Enough is enough. They are now actively driving away the best school President we’ve had in decades

@DanCrenshawTX Why would EVs increase the cost of gas. Thats just dumb.
English
“It’s simple.”
Higher gas prices through dumb EV mandates, carbon taxes, refinery-killing regs, and the highest gas tax in America courtesy of Gavin Newsom.
CA regular: $6.11/gal
TX regular: $3.99/gal
Same country. Same global oil market. One state just hates gas cars more than it hates expensive gas.
Governor Newsom Press Office@GovPressOffice
It’s simple. Higher gas prices through dumb wars.

@SenRickScott Do you plan to introduce legislation to reduce the reckless spending by the Department of War?
English
Politicians in Congress are addicted to spending and overregulation, something that only HURTS hard-working Americans.
The American people deserve a government that works for them, not one that buries them in red tape, creates roadblocks, and doesn’t think twice about spending their tax dollars.
Congress exists to SERVE the American people, not to abuse their trust AND their money.
English
@MrsCMFrancis It’s theirs because the government affords them the right to have. Rights have a cost. If they can’t afford to pay for the rights, they don’t get it. That’s the free market.
English
I’m getting so tired of this.
It’s such a socialist mindset to just assume that “they don’t need it why should they get it keep it”.
They get to keep it cause it’s theirs, and private property still exists in this country.

Genuinely though, why can’t seniors downsize. If they’re living in like a 3-4 bedroom house… why
English
@jonbrooks Past common sense laws to incentivize people to have kids. Increased CTC, free childcare, free medical care.
English
My friends in their 30s are deciding not to have kids
They’re saying two things:
They don’t have the money
It’s inconvenient to their lifestyle
This is not good. What do we do?
English
@SenRickScott Do you agree that the war budget needs to be cut back to pre 9/11 levels?
English
Americans are struggling to pay off their credit card bills. Why? Because Congress has a spending problem.
The fact that we keep printing and borrowing so that we can spend money we don’t have is a massive drag on our economy. It’s driving inflation and inflicting real pain on working American families.
We need to balance the budget, CUT reckless spending, and actually take care of Americans’ money. That’s our job.

AMERICANS ARE FALLING BEHIND ON LOAN AND CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS AT THE FASTEST PACE SINCE THE 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS, WITH CREDIT CARD DEFAULTS HITTING NEAR-15 YEAR HIGHS

People keep acting like rising property taxes are automatically justified because “schools and services need funding,” but a lot of people look around and do not feel like the government is managing the money it already gets very well.
Meanwhile an older couple can stay in the exact same house for 30 years, change nothing about their lifestyle, and still get hit with a higher tax bill because the area around them got expensive.
That is not the same thing as being able to afford more.

Seniors should not be priced out of a house they already paid for because the area around them got more expensive. They didn’t suddenly get richer because Zillow says the house is worth more. Most of them are living on fixed income, paying higher insurance, higher utilities, higher groceries, and then the tax bill shows up like they somehow got a raise. People can argue all day about how to fund schools and services, and that part does matter. But making older homeowners keep rebuying the same house every year through property taxes is exactly why so many people feel like ownership is never really ownership.

@EV_Trapper And people paid those taxes when she was raising her children without children of their own. So she got to benefit then and now others benefit now. Thats the cycle.
English
My 95 year old grandmother pays $2000 in property taxes & another $3000 in school taxes every single year on a house that was built in 1850 that is falling apart.
She was widowed in 1973 & as a single mother of 6 worked everyday of her life until she was in her mid 70s. She gets $10,000 a year from the federal government to live on, but once you subtract $5000 in taxes she is left with $5000 for the rest of the year to buy food, supplies & bills.
Are people really this uneducated on this issue? Oh my god.

FYI seniors already get homestead exemptions, lowered assessments, tax credits, and deferral plans to help with property taxes based on their state and income level

@bballforever_ Makes no sense to do this until the deadline

The Detroit Pistons would reportedly pursue a Kawhi Leonard trade if he becomes available this offseason 👀
This core would be NASTY 🤖

I agree. In fact, nobody who has paid off their mortgage should pay property taxes. If you own it, you shouldn’t be paying taxes on it over and over again.
Nancy Mace@NancyMace
Our seniors should not pay property taxes.
English
@NetsProphet How about a sign and trade? We will take claxton and a pick.
English
The Nets should offer Jalen Duren the max and force the Pistons to match the offer. 22 year old all-nba center with plenty of room to improve - would be the Nets best player and improve the team immediately.
Legion Hoops@LegionHoops
Jalen Duren is now eligible for a 5-year, $287M payday after making the NBA’s All-NBA team, per @KeithSmithNBA

@michaeldomps @DoeJumars I think you are right on Huerter. He’d just have to agree obviously.
English
@MayorofFitztown @DoeJumars They have full bird rights on Huerter too
So if they go over the cap and he’s wiling to go along with a sign and trade that’s another salary to use (I think)
Also; Tobias would be an option too but in context this proposal assumes he stays and starts
English
Cade
X
Ausar
Harris
Duren
Jenkins, Duncan, X, Reed
Holland, Stew, pick 21, future 1sts, LeVert $ as trade pieces.
...seems there are 2 spots to fill. Wonder how much they can pay each of those spots with the cap rules?

@BarstoolMSU @lifelineanimal Could be the greatest ratio in MSU twitter history

Dave Portnoy’s new book, Cancel Me if You Can, is now available for preorder! Check it out on Amazon and other platforms: a.co/d/0bkiHfJh
Additionally, for each book sale, $2 will be donated back to @lifelineanimal, the same place Peaches and Pete were adopted from!

@KupaKups32 The Detroit trade doesn’t work. You are using 25-26 salaries not 26-27.
English
@Top100Rick The PGA tour micromanages the green slopes during any renovation, and therefore the course cannot be challenging. By limiting the amount of grade where pins are placed, any defense from the greens is washed and the course is scorable.
English
TPC Craig Ranch spent $25M on a full renovation. One of the goals was to challenge the pros more.
Si Woo shot 60 today 😂. -18 after two days. (This is his missed putt for 59.)
Guys when it rains and gets the course soft, there is nothing you can do.

@JohnJamesMI No one cares about this. Jobs and the pocketbook is all that matters.
