@shannonrwatts Welp, forget a democratic US senate win in Michigan.

@mikitaposts @StatisticUrban Giving all the tax breaks to corporations and businesses to move or locate there creates a prolonged economic boom. Other parts of the US had their heyday’s as well. But DFW enjoy’s its prosperity dependent on the entirety of the US.

@StatisticUrban A Dallas suburb is the closest thing to heaven on earth

I would genuinely rather live in a mid-sized town in Pennsylvania or something than ever move to the Dallas suburbs. Plausibly I'm much more likely to end up in the Dallas suburbs, because jobs, but still. Would be really, really far down my list of ideal places.

@Mi_Astronauta @jemelehill Not the role of the federal government. It is clearly outlined in the constitution it is up to the states to administer their elections.

@jemelehill Even here in CA we have to show an ID to register, and sometimes we have to show it again when we go vote Only wanting US citizens voting in US elections is a no brainer, shouldn't even be a RW vs LW issue

Let me make sure I have my ID on me when I go to pick up this Chipotle.

@YamiryuNoKage @HasanabiProd @jeremysaul So just ignore the trend of right wing politics making huge inroads in western democracies why don’t ya.

@MkaFargo @HasanabiProd @jeremysaul That's nice honey, but the US political landscape and election system are very different.

Hasan Piker speaks in front of thousands of people at the May Day Rally in St. Louis. "I've seen a lot of places like St. Louis left behind by wealthy corporations that pollute your waters, that steal your productive output and then spend it on themselves. But today and every day from here on out we say no more"

@j_em_bee @GavinGrimmVA Would have been the same outcome. Where in the constitution does it say a felon, jailed or not jailed can’t run for president.

Except that we can and do blame the Democrats. Days after January 6th, Biden was calling Republicans his “friends” and saying “we need a strong Republican Party”. Instead of prosecuting Trump & others for their attempted coup, the D’s stalled & went after only the foot soldiers.

@commie_trucker @davenewworld_2 Well then it doesn’t apply to you. Sounds like you are still young. Will you ever get an empty nest and have the opportunity for a different direction?

I’ve worked 50-60 hours a week for the last 20 years in order to support my family, while my employers have gotten rich off my labor. Yet I’m lazy and entitled and my bosses are entrepreneurial and hardworking.

@aribk24 @evan7257 Yes, Texas is blessed. I see those but get the HEB cage free just to be nice to the chickens. Not horribly much more.

first texas experience went to H-E-B at 8am 12 eggs for $1.56 the america they want back is in texas

@HasanabiProd @jeremysaul Orban in Hungary stayed in power for 16 years, because left wing candidates were always fielded in their elections. He was finally defeated by a conservative candidate.

Hasan continues his speech in St. Louis "We all know the republicans are corrupt, we all know that they're monsters, they're racist... but we are here to say we are no longer going to vote for do nothing Democrats either... we are voting for Democrats with a purpose."

@InternetJenkins @mattyglesias Says the guy with “internet” in his x handle. Always self interest with ya’ll.

@mattyglesias It’s not loser shit it’s based on a real phenomenon: Pretty much everyone has rational reasons for their politics. But liberals have the added “we are the good guys” factor which makes it harder for them to see their own flaws.

Not that this stuff doesn't contain some elements of truth, but I notice that conservatives have gotten unhealthily obsessed with various efforts to pathologize and psychoanalyze why people disagree with them — all this "luxury beliefs" stuff blah blah. It's loser shit.

@Sarah4Texas Exactly!

Alpine, Terlingua, Marfa.

@scarylawyerguy @DeanBaker13 x.com/stopantisemite…

While Planter would not have been *my* choice in the Maine Senate race, I am not going to spend 6 months telling people NOT to vote for him b/c no matter how much *I* might not like him, the idea of six more years of Susan Concerns far outweighs that. See how easy that is?

@Veggietableh @trouble_man90 I guess he directly addressed you and now you are answering.

@trouble_man90 Tim, do you want to flip a Republican seat to the Dems or not?

Graham Platner is the ultimate example of identity politics. He has zero experience and several giant blaring red flags, but he he has a certain aesthetic that leftists and white liberals are going absolutely feral over nowadays. They were willing to fight us to the death over this Nazi, let em have it guess 😂😂

@RobinSpringer64 @Hamilton4Kansas Evidently if you do go to church you do to brush up on your judgement skills.

follow up, you call yourself a 'pastor' in your bio. You can't be a pastor and be a democrat. Democrats support the butcher God's precious babies & the sin of homosexuality. Those two things guarantees every Democrat judgment in the lake of fire you've never read God's word

Today, I'm announcing that I'm running for the United States Senate. I'm a fifth-generation Kansan. My family came here 147 years ago and settled in a town called Hope. I'm running because Kansas — and our country — deserve better than what Washington has been giving us. We need leaders who put service above self, country before party, and people before politics. I'm an independent-minded Democrat. I’ll lead by listening. And I'll be a champion for Kansas. Join us: HamiltonForKansas.com

@NaClDroog @EdKrassen @SenMarkKelly Pete is a boot licker

@EdKrassen @SenMarkKelly It's simple. You retards consider the POTUS an "enemy". Pete is not an idiot, he's not going to walk into your trap.

Senator @SenMarkKelly asks Pete Hegseth if he stands by his statement that he would provide no quarter and no mercy to the enemy. Hegseth refuses to answer a simple “yes” or “no” question. Senator Kelly: “I’m going to give you one more chance to address a question here… Your quote was ‘we will keep on pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies,’ and yesterday you did not clarify if you stand by this statement.” Hegseth: [non-answer] Senator Kelly: “You are the Secretary of Defense. The things you say matter and your response here, right now, makes it clear to the American people exactly why you are not right for this job.”

@MrsShelbyB @ru_rick @epaleezeldin @SenWhitehouse Corrupt politicians is just a throw away line. A sloppy, lazy, over generalized view of how the world works is why you use “corrupt politicians” most likely. And you can’t prove otherwise.

@MkaFargo @ru_rick @epaleezeldin @SenWhitehouse Uff da, it was shut down due to Boxer's threat to sue, even though ownership wanted to make repairs. Let's not forget the environmental protests. SCE & PGE have been strong armed by our corrupt politicians for years in our state.

Rhode Island Senator Sheldon WhiteClub loves to falsely tell the public that offshore wind is the cheapest form of energy. He couldn’t be more wrong with his numbers. It’s no great mystery why he didn’t want to engage at today’s Senate EPW hearing regarding his bonkers logic (beyond asking me a dumb question of whether “18” is more than “9”). He knew I came loaded with receipts and my explanation dissecting his math and comparing energy sources would have made him look far more foolish than the purple haired lady on Monday. Kudos to Utah Senator John Curtis for wanting to actually engage on this important topic more substantively. Here’s the issue for Senator WhiteClub: He deliberately omits much of the other costs of wind, including the cost of “firming”, which is necessary to convert wind into a dispatchable power supply. Because the wind doesn’t always blow, there is a cost of storing it. When you look at the costs of an energy source, it’s important to look at the “all-in” numbers, and if you are trying to get educated on this stuff, don’t let your brain waste space on any info from WhiteClub.

@MrsShelbyB @ru_rick @epaleezeldin @SenWhitehouse Nuclear power plants do have a lifespan. And they are horribly expensive to build in the US.

@MkaFargo @ru_rick @epaleezeldin @SenWhitehouse Decommission is still set for 2030. Why? After all its the cleanest and most reliable. There's an agenda your party is working on that doesn't add up nor protect our environment. The point is, we already HAD clean energy.

@MrsShelbyB @ru_rick @epaleezeldin @SenWhitehouse Oh brother, SONGS was shut down almost a decade ago. It was old, dangerous and not worth repairing. Newsom extended Diablo. He is currently not decommissioning.

@MkaFargo @ru_rick @epaleezeldin @SenWhitehouse We have plants, unfortunately we have politicians like Sheldon who push for false energy sources instead. We've already lost the San Onofre plant thanks to Barbara Boxer now we're decommissioning Diablo Canyon with Newsom. diablocanyonpanel.org

@JetSetGent @Acyn Just a ham sandwich, not a bad ham sandwich. Got it.

@Acyn If grand jury returned the indictment, it can’t be “bad” by definition.

Rep. Goldman on Todd Blanche: These two indictments are so, so bad that he needs to be removed right away. It is an absolute disgrace from someone who I worked with for many years. It’s a disgrace.

@NativeColonizer @epaleezeldin @LeeMZeldin You are a bot.

You don’t have argue in speculation. The largest consumer of electricity in Europe did exactly what Mr. Whiteclub is advocating for and it doubled their prices. Democrats want us to pay double to heat our homes and keep the lights on. You should call them liars and site the evidence.

@ru_rick @epaleezeldin @SenWhitehouse And payback period for nuclear 25-30 years if you ever get the plant built. 6-15 years for offshore wind. And they are ready to go.

@epaleezeldin @SenWhitehouse Offshore ROI is $170/ megawatt hour. Nuclear ROI is $40/ megawatt hour. Are you doing Ukrainian or Somalian math ?
