Very satisfying to see Elon Musk paying his fair share to the European Union Thanks to Europe, he is also no longer a trillionaire No matter how rich you are, nobody is above the EU

@krassenstein Yawn

MAJOR BREAKING: The U.S. Senate has voted 50-48 to approve a War Powers Resolution directing President Trump to end military hostilities with Iran unless Congress explicitly authorizes continued military action. Four Republicans joined most Democrats in support, while Sen. John Fetterman was the lone Democrat to vote against it. The measure is largely symbolic and does not automatically end military operations, but it represents a significant bipartisan rebuke of the administration’s Iran policy and a reassertion of Congress’s constitutional war powers.

@krassenstein It so he does get wet and have to hold a wet umbrella in his lap. Not difficult to understand this.

Not knowing how to close an umbrella seems like a sign of possible dementia to me. How about you?

@BasedMikeLee It has the votes of the American people

So … when something “doesn’t have the votes” we’re supposed to give up on it, but only if it’s a popular bill like the SAVE America Act? Meanwhile, a less-popular bill like FISA 702 reauthorization—which also “doesn’t have the votes”—is something we should keep trying to pass.

@aubetony @joelpollak Climate change is causing widespread deaths in Europe. Just not the way you think. The hysteria regarding climate change is more dangerous than actual climate change

After a hellish week in a Paris Airbnb with no AC (100°F outside, 108°F+ inside), I started looking into why the French are so opposed to AC. There's many reasons: bureaucracy, poverty, etc. But the main one is decades of environmental campaigns that convinced people AC is the devil. The result? You can't escape the heat. Most buses, metro lines, and shopping malls have no AC. This Monday, 850 schools are closing because classroom temperatures exceed 104°F. In Nantes, they built a brand-new train station and a hospital without AC for environmental reasons. The station is now partially closed because it's become a "furnace" that endangers travelers. Hospitals are covering windows with emergency foil blankets to protect patients. The French demonize air conditioning because it creates carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. Never mind that France already has one of most carbon-free electricity in the world thanks to nuclear, or that it accounts for less than 1% of global emissions. They also oppose AC because it "just displace the problem" by dumping heat into the street. Never mind that studies suggest even if an entire city were air-conditioned, the increase in outdoor temperature would be at most about 1°F. Instead, people are willing to endure 104°F+ indoors to avoid a marginal increase outdoors. This ideology kills more people than firearms in the United States. Across Europe, between 50,000 and 70,000 people die from heat every year, mostly the elderly and the poor. Compare that to roughly 44,000 Americans killed by firearms. For comparison, despite having a similar population, deserts, and more extreme temperatures, the United States has only about 2,500 heat-related deaths per year thanks to widespread AC. That's what bothers me most. The moralizing posture completely detached from reality. People feel morally superior for "not polluting." They criticize America and its guns while tolerating policies that kills even more people. I share this anecdote because I know it's shocking to Americans. Here, schools or hospitals reaching 104°F would be unnaceptable. The absurdity is immediately obvious to us because we're looking from the outside. We see the gap between moral intentions and real-world consequences. But we're no different. In America, we have dozens of similar issues where we're just as irrational, and we've become blind to them because the solution isn't politically acceptable. How do can we bring back logic and pragmatism in our societies ahead of irrational political ideological ?

@mirandadevine I would not be surprised to see that USAID and Act Blue are tied together

It was a leftwing slush fund for nefarious activities

@RBReich I thought they hoarded their wealth now when they spend it that Ma a problem too?

According to new estimates, the richest 20% of U.S. earners drove nearly 60% of consumer spending in Q1 of 2026. Meanwhile, the bottom 80% struggled to keep up with inflation. That’s bad news for the entire economy. Here’s why.

With no help only mockery from @EdKrassen and other democrats

@TheLaikYobaz If I recall correctly Italy literally sided with the Nazi regime and helped murder millions of people. She should sit this one out.

Trump: İran nükleer silaha sahip olursa, İtalya'yı iki dakikada havaya uçurur. Meloni: Bildiğim kadarıyla şimdiye kadar, dokuz ülke nükleer silaha sahip ve sadece biri kullanmış. O da Amerika Birleşik Devletleri. Tam on ikiden vurmuş...

@Reaganite4o @nwinbk @EdKrassen $3.6 trillion of Trump was directly related to Covid.

@Policy_Hawk @nwinbk @EdKrassen 14million is not the final number it’s going to cost us to fix this mess. his first term (2017–2021)Donald Trump increased the national debt by $7.8 trillion. Obama added $8.59 trillion over two-term presidency (2009–2017) $5.81 trillion first term $3.51 trillion during his 2nd

This isn’t a joke. The new paint in the Reflecting Pool is peeling away. What an embarrassment.

@VincentRowlatt @EdKrassen

@Policy_Hawk @EdKrassen Cognitive Dissonance. No matter what is put in front of you, you will always find someone else to blame.

The reflecting pool memes are on point!

@EdKrassen Joe Biden arrested people who prayed at abortion clinics but not those in the Epstein files.

Trump’s America: They are arresting people for taking pieces of peeled reflecting pool paint, but they aren’t arresting those named in the Epstein files.

@JoJoFromJerz Lies. nps.gov/hart/index.htm

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. George Orwell, 1984

@simonateba @MichelleObama Yes I see it when fights break out in fast food restaurants and when old ladies are randomly punched walking down the streets. Or when citizens torch their cities.

Be brutally honest: Do you agree with First Black First Lady @MichelleObama's WARNING yesterday that America under Trump is on a dangerous “slippery slope" where some people have stopped recognizing the humanity of those who are different from them? Yes or no?

@kevinfs2107 @RachelA70767038 @TheRealestJG @Quknow37 @EricinAmericaX @EdKrassen Phosphates is the main reason. Either it was tampered with or the city water has high phosphates. But CNN has it tested and there was an unnatural levels of phosphates. They arrested 5 people with tampering. I would not be surprised to find out that phosphates were dumped

@Policy_Hawk @RachelA70767038 @TheRealestJG @Quknow37 @EricinAmericaX @EdKrassen And darker colours absorb more heat. Warmer waters = algae growth.

@kevinfs2107 @RachelA70767038 @TheRealestJG @Quknow37 @EricinAmericaX @EdKrassen It’s not a reflective paint. By darkening the pool it allows the reflection on the water to stand out without blending in with the grayish concrete

@Policy_Hawk @RachelA70767038 @TheRealestJG @Quknow37 @EricinAmericaX @EdKrassen Doesn't answer my question. Why add a reflective paint if water reflects light. Didn't they teach you basic science at school.

@kevinfs2107 @RachelA70767038 @TheRealestJG @Quknow37 @EricinAmericaX @EdKrassen Well a pool is a place to hold the water sooooo

@Policy_Hawk @RachelA70767038 @TheRealestJG @Quknow37 @EricinAmericaX @EdKrassen Dam again you're avoiding my question. Water already reflects light. What was the purpose of a reflective pool. Its basic science

@Planispheric_ @EdKrassen Leftist vandalism

@Policy_Hawk @EdKrassen Yes and its a shame that this admin didn't take away anything from its failure

@EdKrassen Looks like leftist psychopaths have been vandalizing it.

@EdKrassen Even if it is. Trump tries to beautify DC for our 250 celebration and all you can do is criticize. Your side hates him so much, you would rather see the celebration fail and DC a shit hole rather than lift a finger to help. Sick
