@DCinvestor The “best, grand unified theory “ is the Republicans won’t start worrying until the Democrats begin to nominate candidates that have a majority approval rating. Here’s the current Democratic candidate for POTUS.

what’s the best, grand unified theory on why Republicans seem totally OK with losing the House and possibly the Senate in the 2026 midterms, getting their POTUS impeached, and probably losing the next presidential election in 2028?

@DefiantLs Adolph Hitler also said: “We need a global government.”

Jeffrey Sachs: "We need a global government."

@BernieSanders Bernie: You left out the rest of the tax transfer from citizens to you.

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you. If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment. Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

@PramilaJayapal Actually it is NGO’s writing blank checks to Democrat politicians that is the “greed” problem.

Let me break this down simply: We have a greed problem. We can afford Medicare for All. We can afford to house every person sleeping on the street. We can afford to make public college tuition free and guarantee access to universal pre-k to every child in America. The money exists. It's just sitting in the bank accounts of billionaires who write blank checks to corrupt politicians to make sure it stays there. Tax the rich. Fund the people. That's it.

Multiple this deal by 10,000 across the Blue controlled jurisdictions and you begin to understand why we’re broke…

@ThomasSowell This might have contributed a bit to the loss of trust in the traditional media.

Rainn Wilson: "40% of Americans don't trust mainstream media. Why is that? How did we get here?"

Bruce Springsteen: "Despite how terribly damaged America has been recently, that country and those ideals remain worth fighting for... No kings."

Grok: “Attendance estimates rely heavily on organizer figures, which put nationwide participation at 8–9 million (with pre-event expectations sometimes reaching 9–12 million). Independent verification of exact totals for dispersed events across thousands of locations is inherently challenging—crowd science for such diffuse protests often involves aggregating local police, media, and aerial estimates, which can vary. “

🚨 Official count confirmed: More than 8 million people participated in No Kings Day today. One of the largest single-day demonstrations in American history. 3,000 cities. Every state. Every coast. Philadelphia. Atlanta. Dallas. St. Paul. DC. San Francisco. San Diego. New York. London. Tel Aviv. Scotland. And counting. To put 8 million in context: The Women’s March in 2017 — the previous record — drew an estimated 3-5 million. Today more than doubled it. 8 million Americans didn’t just protest today. They sent a message that cannot be ignored, cannot be dismissed, and cannot be spun. The founders settled the kings question in 1776. 8 million Americans settled it again today.

Just watched an interview of one of the 1960’s anti-Trump protesters. The interviewer ask the person protesting as to where are all of the young people? After all, those are the ones that have to go to war not you. Her response was: “ the young people are afraid to protest because Trump is taking photographs and arresting them and sending them to death camps in Florida.” See what you can learn from our elders.

🚨 WOW! New footage shows "No Kings" in North Carolina is almost ENTIRELY composed of old white liberals This is insane. How did they get so brainwashed?!

@C_3C_3 This is what drives the growth of NGO’s.

So… If NGOs are “non-governmental organizations” why do our tax dollars go to them? And… If an organization is a “nonprofit” then why do the people running it always seem to get filthy rich? Anyone in Government got answers? (We know)

This is how the system works. Judges included in scam.

No, the post is not fully accurate—it’s an exaggerated, organizer-boosted summary of the March 28, 2026 “No Kings” protests that mixes confirmed details with inflated or unverified claims.  What checks out: • Protests occurred in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, St. Paul (Minnesota), Washington DC, and San Francisco — These cities hosted events as part of the nationwide day of action, with reports of thousands to tens of thousands in many of them (e.g., large rallies in the Twin Cities/St. Paul area and San Francisco).  • A human banner on the Pacific Ocean spelling “TRUMP MUST GO NOW” — This happened at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach, where protesters formed a banner (described as spanning about 600 feet) reading exactly that (or very similar). It’s a recurring visual element at some Bay Area No Kings events.  • Thousands of protests across many locations, including every state — Organizers and media reported over 3,000 demonstrations (sometimes cited as 3,100–3,300) in all 50 states and some international spots. This matches the post’s “3,000 cities” claim closely enough, though many were smaller local rallies rather than massive urban events.  What’s inflated, misleading, or unconfirmed: • “7 million Americans” — This is an organizer estimate, not a verified “final” count (the post calls it “Today’s final”). Organizers predicted/claimed 8–9+ million nationwide for this third round, building on prior events (roughly 5 million in June 2025 and 7 million in October 2025). Independent reporting describes “millions” but notes that exact totals are hard to confirm across thousands of sites, with some local police/organizer discrepancies (e.g., Minnesota: organizers said 200,000 vs. lower official estimates around 100,000). No neutral source has locked in exactly 7 million for March 28 as a “final” figure yet; early reports lean toward “millions” without specifying that precise number.  • “500,000 in London” and “Tel Aviv in the streets” — No evidence ties significant “No Kings” turnout to these figures on March 28. London and Tel Aviv have seen massive protests in the past (often for other causes like Gaza-related rallies), but reports on this specific day describe international solidarity actions as much smaller—hundreds to low thousands in various cities, not hundreds of thousands. These numbers appear borrowed from unrelated past events.  • “One of the largest single-day demonstrations in American history” — This is plausible but subjective. Prior No Kings rounds (especially October 2025) were already described by some outlets and data analysts as among the biggest coordinated single-day protests, comparable to or exceeding the 2017 Women’s March (estimated 3–5+ million). Organizers called this one potentially the largest ever. However, precise historical rankings depend on whose estimates you trust—crowd sizes at diffuse events are notoriously hard to verify, and claims of “the largest” often come from participants rather than impartial tallies.  Overall context: The “No Kings” movement has organized repeated large-scale days of action against the Trump administration (focusing on issues like immigration enforcement, foreign policy, and perceived authoritarianism). Turnout has grown across rounds, with strong participation in blue-leaning cities and symbolic events in smaller/red areas. Events were reported as mostly peaceful. Organizer numbers tend to be on the high side (common for protest movements), while police or media estimates are often more conservative. Bottom line: The protests were genuinely large and widespread—likely millions of participants across thousands of locations, with the listed cities and beach banner as real highlights. But the specific “7 million… final” total, the exact London/Tel Aviv figures, and the unqualified “largest in history” label are hype rather than settled fact. For the most reliable picture, cross-reference multiple news sources (left, right, and center.

They’re estimating 7 million people showed up at No Kings today. No, that is not “smaller than the last one.” That is the same size as the last one, and so tied for the largest single day protest in American history. Don’t listen to conservatives lying to you.

Dear conservative influencers: While you were sitting at home on your phones on X, I spent hours in the crowd at a massive No Kings protest. Estimates are saying 7 million people came out today. That is tied for the largest protest in history. STOP LYING TO YOUR AUDIENCES.

Today’s final count: 7 million Americans. 3,000 cities. Every state. Philadelphia. Atlanta. Dallas. St. Paul. DC. San Francisco. 500,000 in London. Tel Aviv in the streets. A human banner on the Pacific Ocean spelling out: TRUMP MUST GO NOW. One of the largest single-day demonstrations in American history. The founders settled the kings question in 1776. America settled it again today. Never stop connecting the dots.

@LoneStarLegendX This is why there wasn’t any prosecutions…

Why are state officials not being held accountable for the fraud, waste, and abuse of federal tax programs in their state? Arrest them all - Walz, Newsom, Whitmer, Abbott, etc. for facilitating and funding all the fraud.

@jeffsiegel @TheChiefNerd Hilliary Clinton, in the midst of a federal investigation of her behavior, destroyed her personal computer along with 30,000 emails. This blatantly illegal behavior was ignored by federal prosecutors. You can always claim you have a clean record if you’re not prosecuted.

@TheChiefNerd Trump has been found liable or guilty of fraud or related financial crimes involving amounts well over $1.5 million in at least two major cases. Additionally, he was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a 2024 criminal trial.

🚨 JD VANCE: “I had no idea that we do not prosecute fraud in this country if it's under $1.5 million per year … We're trying to … commit the Department of Justice to investigating all fraud and actually going after people who are doing it at the small scale of $1.4 million.”

@Jules31415 @elonmusk The Governor surveying the results of his administration of California….

Gavin Newsom tells Axios he created the conditions in California that “allowed” @elonmusk “to become the multibillionaire, maybe trillionaire that he’s become” and it “breaks [his] heart” what a “great disappointment” Musk has become. Imagine how narcissistic you’d have to be to take credit for the success of one of the greatest innovators of our time.

Warren Buffett, through Berkshire Hathaway, manages one of the world’s most closely watched investment portfolios. The latest publicly available data comes from Berkshire’s 13F filing for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 (filed February 2026), showing an equity portfolio valued at approximately $274 billion.  Here are Berkshire Hathaway’s largest public stock holdings by market value as of that date (approximate figures, with minor variations across sources due to share prices at filing time): 1. Apple Inc. (AAPL) — ~$62 billion (about 22.6% of the equity portfolio)
Berkshire owns roughly 228 million shares. Apple remains the single largest holding despite gradual trims in recent years. Buffett has long praised its strong brand, ecosystem, and capital returns.  2. American Express (AXP) — ~$56.1 billion (about 20.5% of the portfolio)
Approximately 152 million shares. This is often called one of Buffett’s “forever” holdings due to its premium customer base, network effects, and consistent growth.  3. Bank of America (BAC) — ~$28.5 billion (about 10.4% of the portfolio)
Roughly 517 million shares. Berkshire has been trimming this position modestly while still holding a large stake originally built opportunistically during the financial crisis.  4. Coca-Cola (KO) — ~$28 billion (about 10.2% of the portfolio)
400 million shares (unchanged for many years). This is one of Buffett’s longest-held positions, dating back to 1988, valued for its global brand strength and pricing power.  5. Chevron (CVX) — ~$19.8 billion (about 7.2% of the portfolio)
Berkshire added to this energy position in the quarter. It reflects a bet on a resilient energy business with strong cash flows.  Other Notable Large Holdings • Moody’s (MCO) — ~$12.6 billion (4.6%) • Occidental Petroleum (OXY) — ~$10.9 billion (4.0%) • Chubb (CB) — ~$10.7 billion (3.9%) • Kraft Heinz (KHC) — ~$7.9 billion (2.9%) The top 5 holdings typically account for around 70% of the equity portfolio, and the top 10 for roughly 88%, showing Berkshire’s concentrated approach.  Important Context • These figures represent publicly traded U.S. equity holdings reported via 13F filings. Berkshire also owns wholly-owned subsidiaries (e.g., Berkshire Hathaway Energy, BNSF Railway, GEICO, and others) that are not part of the 13F stock portfolio but form a major part of the company’s overall value and operations. • Berkshire held a record cash position (over $300 billion at times) as Buffett reduced some equity exposure, particularly in Apple and Bank of America, ahead of his retirement as CEO at the end of 2025. • Holdings can change quarterly due to buys, sells, or stock price movements. Japanese trading company stakes (e.g., Itochu, Marubeni) are reported separately and are also significant but smaller in the overall picture. • Data is as of late 2025/early 2026; always check the most recent SEC 13F filings or reliable trackers like CNBC’s Berkshire Portfolio page for updates. Buffett’s strategy emphasizes buying high-quality businesses at reasonable prices and holding them long-term, focusing on durable competitive advantages (“economic moats”). Apple and American Express now dominate due to their growth and the appreciation of their shares over time.

@mrjonathanreese @Ray2111945 @BladeoftheS Give example where billions flow back into society with evidence to back it up

We don't need a Wealth Tax, we need a 100% tax on all wealth above a certain amount. Lets say $100m, that's more than enough. We need to outlaw outrageous wealth, not just try reduce it a bit. Billionaires are a danger to everything and everyone. As you can clearly see.

Bono: "America is the best idea the world ever came up with. But Donald Trump is potentially the worst idea that ever happened to America."

Capitalists search for opportunities to satisfy consumer demands and then invest in those opportunities. Socialists unilaterally determine investment targets without regard to consumers. Who cares if someone became a billionaire by fulfilling consumer demands, the point is that the consumer is directing investment not some radical nutty leftist pursuing nirvana. If they really believed that socialism worked, they would have moved the 90 miles to Cuba already.

@Ray2111945 @BladeoftheS That isn’t true, trickle down economics doesn’t work in practice, any billionaire business owner will lay off workers to maintain profits and cut costs, they never absorb costs themselves to protect jobs, especially entry level jobs
