@unusual_whales Does Senator Murray really not know how Social Security tax works? I am again asking if maybe we should have a general IQ test requirement before running for office...?

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184k pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes Murray: And the rate for someone making $1 million? Dahl: 2.2% Murray: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184k, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.

@RealDonKeith Wow. I came in expecting this to be some sensitive snowflake stuff. But this is legit. This judge is a prick. Massive props to that guy for being so diplomatic and the bigger man in the situation.

Watch this pompous, arrogant judge with his elitist attitude berate an IT worker who was trying to help him. Harris County, Texas Judge Nathan J. Million of the 215th Civil Court is facing criticism online after this video circulating on social media shows what a pr*ck he is.

@fandompulse He's not wrong. Star Trek constantly contradicted itself in regards to the Prime Directive. But I also see the benefit of it's protections in some cases. Definitely a tough ethical debate.

Star Trek: Voyager actor Robert Beltran on how the Prime Directive is ridiculous: "The idea of leaving any species to die in its own filth when you have the ability to help them, just because you wanna let them get through their normal evolutionary processes is bunk -- it's a bunch of fascist crap. I much prefer the Cub Scout motto." Is he correct?

@astro_jaz Old rocket tech, old target, and only around the moon. A step backward innovation wise. I support space exploration, but this seems like a colossal waste of money.

people should be more excited for artemis ii. we’re sending people back to the moon for the first time since the apollo era!!! many of us weren’t alive for that!

@MattWalshBlog I'm a moderate that swings conservative more often than not. And I am excited to finally see something done about Iran. They have been a threat and destabilizing force to the region and The US my entire life. I only hope that we have a plan with concrete goals for success.

I’ve never seen such a disconnect between the commentary on this site and what I hear in the real world. I’ve talked to dozens of normal conservatives in real life about the Iran War and I haven’t met a single one who’s actually enthusiastically in favor of it. At best they’re warily optimistic. In most cases they’re opposed. In some cases they’re not only opposed but deeply furious. And yet here if you utter a word of criticism about the war you’ll be shouted down by throngs of alleged American conservatives who allegedly have wanted nothing more than for America to go to war with Iran. It just doesn’t reflect what I see on the ground. That’s not just cope because my position is unpopular with “my side.” I’ve held plenty of unpopular positions. I really don’t care. But in this case the social media vs real world divide is stark and unlike anything I’ve seen before.

@BernieSanders I was about to be really shocked by this data. Until I saw the proposed community note with the actual tax rates paid. I know I ways have to fact-chrck these kind of claims from Bernie.

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, recently paid an effective tax rate of less than 3.3%. That is less than the average truck driver, nurse and teacher. YES, we must demand the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@ansonmount I did more research. The bill says the data is "deidentified" at point of submission by the healthcare provider. They literally submit only the required data, the only identifiable being a birth date, via a form. No actual identifiable data gets submitted to the government.

@Perty_Slick I could be wrong but the way I understand it, all information is collected and “de-identified”. This could mean a lot of things. But this is also the state that did this: wpln.org/post/im-defini…

No, this is not an advertisement for a new dystopian science fiction series. This is real and it’s happening in my home state of Tennessee. wpln.org/post/bill-to-t…

@Anlashok0 @ansonmount It can be very dangerous. We've seen the abuse of gun registries as public data which led to targeted harassment, stalking, and criminal activity.

@ansonmount @Perty_Slick De-identified means that the PHI/PII is masked/erased. The original, unmasked version gets destroyed. Protection of patient privacy is an extremely serious matter, and failure to protect can carry extremely serious consequences.

@elonmusk I'm curious Mr. Musk, have you ever considered funding rallys to counter "No Kings" mentality? So we could organize some actual pro-US rallys and marches for once and show how many actually respect and appreciate the great country we live in. Just curious. Would be awesome.

💯

@mmpadellan You have to be on the left to A) have time and no life to protest, and B) throw very public temper tantrums. I protested current events with my vote in 2024. Plus, the average protestor age seems to be about 65 so I am too young to be protesting with all the geriatrics.

I wonder why we're not seeing any pro-trump marches for the guy who INCREASED prices with his tariffs and illegal war, who broke most of his promises, who is protecting pedophiles... never mind, I know why: He's awful, the worst President EVER.

@ansonmount That is a great question actually. I can see how that interpretation can be made. Now I am curious for clarification as well. We have seen the abuse of registries and public data before. If this identifiable data makes it to record in any way, that is problematic.

@Erdayastronaut Old rocket tech, old mission, and a step backward in innovation. I'm still not sure why so many are talking about this. What sense does it make into not be using reusable rockets at this point? I support space exploration, but even I feel like this is a collosal waste of money.

I'm honestly SHOCKED at how the general public has NO IDEA Artemis II is taking humans out to the moon and will be the furthest humans have ever flown. Every non-space nerd I've talked to has no idea. WE GOTTA GET PEOPLE STOKED!!!! THESE FOUR HUMANS ARE FLYING TO THE MOON!!!

@hellhounds777 @horrormuseum @nickscom01 Damn, this went from 0 to absolute crazy quick! Haha!

@horrormuseum @nickscom01 You maga fucktard you don't belong in the Twitter horror community

Wendy Holcombe was a pretty, sweet, and extremely talented banjo player and singer, who appeared on numerous TV shows, but died at age 23 in 1987 from heart disease. Those who worked with her, couldn't even mention her name without crying, she was that loved.

@Travis_Klanecky @JohnBishop71 Love these towns.

This one's for you @JohnBishop71 The exciting metropolis of Buda, Nebraska. I don't even think there's a house here, just businesses.

@nyaraVT Most Americans are smart enough to A) ignore the European opinion on US affairs, and B) recognize that less than 2% of the population were gullible enough to participate in a "No Kings" protest.

never let the social media bots and algorithms gaslight you into believing average people support Trump

@ML3democrats Listen up everybody. France is an insignificant nation and depends on the US for protection and subsidies. But they have input on how we should be doing things over here...

None of these things would be happening under her. Not a single one. America, you made your biggest mistake in 2024.

@BillKristol I am not MAGA, and Trump has his issues. But these protests are clearly just "we didn't get our way in the last election" tantrums. At some point, these people are going to have to grow up and accept the nation disagrees. Less than 2% of the population attended just for reference

"A WH spokeswoman called the protests 'Trump derangement therapy sessions.'" The people I met at No Kings were sane and well-adjusted. The people suffering from Trump derangement syndrome are those who work for him and slavishly praise and bow to him. nytimes.com/2026/03/28/us/…

@ItsTragik @IGN It's not a story about the world today. Would you watch a movie about ancient African tribes if they "modernized" it with a diverse cast of Whites, and Asians thrown into the cast as tribe members? I know I wouldn't.

@IGN I think it's time, and I'd like to see a more diverse cast, I mean I respect the original, we all do but it's 2026, the world doesn't look that way anymore.

Rather than move forward with spinoffs that cling to the original The Lord of the Rings movies, maybe the time has come to give the franchise a full, Harry Potter-style reboot. bit.ly/4rY74wY

@Angry_Staffer These politicians are supposed to act in favor of their constituents, not tow some party line. You may be okay with the sheeple mentality of falling in line and licking boots. But that is not how our representation is supposed to work. And it was 5-0, not 100-0.

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation. Complete abdication of duty.
