A) voted at all
B) who did they vote for, and why?
Elections have consequences

3.6 million student loan defaults in two quarters. Second wave incoming as the SAVE plan ends and those borrowers hit repayment with no net. NY Fed: the ripples will "reverberate through the credit space." The generational investment video did not include this chart.

2.6 million student loan borrowers fell into default during the first quarter of 2026. If that doesn't prove student debt is a systemic issue, we don't know what does. Read more below 👇 cnbc.com/2026/05/12/stu…

@JoJoFromJerz Apparently you folks aren’t that smart, so many more times?

How many times does Donald Trump need to tell you all that he doesn’t give a fuck about our troops? How many?

The VA lost about 700 social workers and 500 psychologists and psychiatrists over the course of 2025 — a significant change for an agency that was adding mental health staffers nearly every month leading up to Trump’s return to office. propublica.org/article/vetera…

@CRUDEOIL231 You missed 4D chess. Or is that no longer part of the script you get from up top?

It looks like Iran is left with only two choices: sit back and watch the US Navy escort ships through the strait, losing all their leverage, or respond militarily to protect it.
The former would gut their bargaining power, while the latter gives the US and Israel the perfect excuse to restart hostile military operations.
We all know what Iran is going to choose. The moment their speedboats fire a shot, US and the IDF will drop the missiles.
Tbh i think Washington played this one pretty smart. They’ve set the bait perfectly.

Trump post on Iran/shipping Countries from all over the World, almost all of which are not involved in the Middle Eastern dispute going on so visibly, and violently, for all to see, have asked the United States if we could help free up their Ships, which are locked up in the Strait of Hormuz, on something which they have absolutely nothing to do with — They are merely neutral and innocent bystanders! For the good of Iran, the Middle East, and the United States, we have told these Countries that we will guide their Ships safely out of these restricted Waterways, so that they can freely and ably get on with their business. Again, these are Ships from areas of the World that are not in any way involved with that which is currently taking place in the Middle East. I have told my Representatives to inform them that we will use best efforts to get their Ships and Crews safely out of the Strait. In all cases, they said they will not be returning until the area becomes safe for navigation, and everything else. This process, Project Freedom, will begin Monday morning, Middle East time. I am fully aware that my Representatives are having very positive discussions with the Country of Iran, and that these discussions could lead to something very positive for all. The Ship movement is merely meant to free up people, companies, and Countries that have done absolutely nothing wrong — They are victims of circumstance. This is a Humanitarian gesture on behalf of the United States, Middle Eastern Countries but, in particular, the Country of Iran. Many of these Ships are running low on food, and everything else necessary for largescale crews to stay on board in a healthy and sanitary manner. I think it would go a long way in showing Goodwill on behalf of all of those who have been fighting so strenuously over the last number of months. If, in any way, this Humanitarian process is interfered with, that interference will, unfortunately, have to be dealt with forcefully. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

@CalltoActivism Cute of you to think there’s gonna be elections.
Or more precisely, elections like it used to happen before. Remember, Putin has also been “democratically elected” 😂

BREAKING: A DC pollster just texted me “it’s over” after Donald Trump’s speech today where he called “affordability” a “line of bullshit.”
There is not one Republican lawmaker who is up in 2028 that didn’t just shit their pants. He just gave Democrats the perfect ad.

I’ve said before that the most surprising thing to me about Americans’ reaction to the Trump era has been the relative indifference to flagrant corruption. I didn’t expect it and I don’t understand it. It’s the deadliest poison they’ve injected into the Republic’s bloodstream.

In his second administration, President Trump’s family, including his son-in-law Jared Kushner and sons Eric and Don Jr., are expanding their business ventures, earning hundreds of millions of dollars and prompting fresh concerns about influence peddling and conflicts of interest. @ElizLanders reports.

The facts of this case are worth reading slowly.
A civil engineer. Valid H-1B visa through 2027. Two and a half years at the same Portland firm, doing foundation work for bridges across Maine. Driving to work on January 22.
Unmarked SUV with Minnesota plates. Masked agents. Window smashed with a crowbar. Dragged out at taser-point. Car left running in the street with door open. Phone on the pavement. Shackled. Moved through unmarked vehicles for 16 hours. Agents pretended to return him to Portland, then drove him to Burlington, Massachusetts instead.
He had shown his REAL ID. REAL IDs are only given to people with lawful immigration status.
The ACLU's legal theory is the part that matters beyond this one case. Federal agents have largely been insulated from individual accountability because Bivens claims - the federal remedy for constitutional violations by federal officers - have been narrowed significantly by the courts. Maine has a state civil rights act. The ACLU is arguing that state law can reach federal agents who violated constitutional rights on Maine soil.
If that argument holds, "Catch of the Day" becomes a much more expensive phrase.

HOLY SH*T:
Marjorie Taylor Greene just revealed her kids received serious death threats after Trump called her a "traitor."
She reached out to Trump directly.
President Trump criticized her and said it's het fault if her son gets killed.

🤯BREAKING: Researchers just mathematically proved that AI layoffs will collapse the economy: and every CEO already knows it.
The AI Layoff Trap. A game theory paper from UPenn + Boston University is glaringly important!
100K+ tech layoffs in 2025. 80% of US workers exposed. And no market force can stop it.
→ Every company fires workers to cut costs
→ Every fired worker stops buying products
→ Revenue collapses across every sector
→ The companies that fired everyone go bankrupt
It's a Prisoner's Dilemma with math behind it. Automate and you survive short-term. Don't automate and your competitor kills you. But everyone automating destroys the demand that makes all companies viable.
UBI (universal basic income) won't fix it.
Profit taxes won't fix it.
The researchers found only one solution: a Pigouvian automation tax "robot tax"
The AI trap on the economy is here!

From a friend:
“Am I keeping score correctly? Before the war Iran had 1000 pounds of uranium and the strait of Hormuz was open. And now Iran has 1000 pounds of uranium and the strait of Hormuz might open but with Iran charging a huge toll.”

So Netanyahu fed Trump a bunch of lies, gullible Trump believes it, and here we are. The first president dumb enough to believe Netanyahu.

It should be abundantly clear by now who was behind this war. This does not negate the fact that Trump was dumb enough to say yes, but it shows how this is a war on behalf of Israel. nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/…

Florida has been controlled by the Republican Party for 30 years. Republican have run all 3 branches of government here in Florida for 3 decades.
So serious question for my fellow Floridians……
If you are concerned with the homeowners insurance issues we have, the over development of our state, the rising cost of living, the education system not operating to the best of it’s ability, and the healthcare system deficiencies we have…….
Why do you continue to elect the same people that led us here?

@SenSchumer @SecRubio Give me one regular tax paying American that thinks our relationship with NATO and WHO is valuable to our national interests. I’ll wait…

I can promise this: The Senate will not vote to leave NATO and abandon our allies just because Trump is upset they wouldn’t go along with his reckless war of choice.
Thank you to @SecRubio for sponsoring the bill in 2023 requiring a two thirds vote of the Senate to make sure clueless presidents couldn’t act on a whim.
Senator Marco Rubio: Archived@SenMarcoRubio
No U.S. President should be able to withdraw from NATO without Senate approval. Thankful my colleagues in Congress passed this bipartisan measure.
