My article on how to safely withdraw more from your savings in retirement is now published in the Financial Analysts Journal. I also launched a new website to help implement the strategy. Details and links in the press release. prweb.com/releases/new-r…

@Math_files Now do a Lebesgue integral

This visual of integration is worth more than a thousand words.

@DavidMKeyes His successor’s name is Dafooq Legamrei.

🚨🚨🚨 Top IRGC commander, Eimtot Ali Fuqd, has defected from Iran. This is HUGE. Many more will follow.

@jakeskorheim @SoundTransit But the cost *is* the benefit.

A fun question we discussed on the show today. @SoundTransit is discussing ways they can save some money as they are obviously WAY over budget. I think there are three or four options on the table, but how about this interesting possibility inspired by my good buddy Todd Myers @WAPolicyGreen. To date, ST has actually spent somewhere between 20 and $25 billion of their projected 185 billion dollars necessary to finish the project. Why not just stop now? You’ve basically got tracks from Federal Way to Lynnwood, which is pretty good…and if they took the win and called it a day, people wouldn’t have to continue paying $1800 a year per household in taxes for a train that 97% of them won’t use! I think this is actually a very interesting, non-partisan solution to a massively problematic cost. Maybe some legal experts out there will explain that it’s not possible for myriad reasons, but for now, any further investment feels like throwing good money after bad.

@jasonrantz Jason, Ask Senator @PattyMurray how many non-citizens are routinely registered to vote by the WA DOL. hint: state officials have known about this for years. See this document I got from King County through a public records request a few years back

Washington Democrats were forced to change the law so people wouldn’t vote twice in the same election. They cited one case. So why can’t Patty Murray accept basic protections against illegal voting? Because they think those votes benefit them. More: seattlered.com/seattle-red/ja…

@WAGOP State election officials have known for years that non-citizens have been registering to vote. Here’s a document I got through a public records request several years ago when I lived in King County. Keep up the good work!

“IP26-500, our NEW Voter ID Initiative, requires proof of citizenship when people register to vote in WA state. It’s a good reform that will ensure we keep our voter data bases timely, updated, and current so people can trust the ballots going out go to actual living, breathing voters,” explains @WAGOP Chairman Rep. @JimWalshLD19. “Here’s what it doesn’t do. It does NOT disenfranchise people of certain groups. Instead, it relies on existing state law that enfranchises all legal voters.” Visit initiatives.wagop.org to stay current on initiatives in WA state.

@EFischberger @esaagar @joekent16jan19 At least he has enough self-awareness not to run for office again. He twice lost congressional runs in what had been a safe Republican district.

@esaagar @joekent16jan19 It's been like a day and a half and already Joe has become boring and unoriginal. Just the same BS over and over again. The Republicans support President Trump's Iran operation

.@joekent16jan19 says he has no desire to run for public office again. He's promoting and planning nothing. His only desire is for the public to make clear to their leaders that they do not support this war to counteract fake polls from Fox News

@WAGOP @JimWalshLD19 That is too generous to Kent, who is not only a tin-foil hat anti-Semite conspiracy theorist, but was also apparently under investigation for leaking classified information.

"You don't have to agree with Joe Kent to respect his position as a decorated soldier and an elite member of the US Army Special Forces," says @WAGOP Chairman Rep. @JimWalshLD19, following Kent's resignation as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center. "I respect his position on national security issues and America's actions in Iran, but I don't agree with him. I believe @POTUS is right in doing what he is doing in Iran. No one wants to see a forever war. No one wants to see another Vietnam. And we don't want to see another Iraq. Still, I believe the president is acting on the best information available to him, and that he is operating in the nation's best interest."

@ProfDBernstein @MaxNordau He has a BA in English en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiang_Xue…

@MaxNordau Is this an actual professor?

WATCH: "Professor Jiang" explains that we could fix poverty by printing infinite money but we don't because we want people to be poor. I am not joking.

@wrmead @warriorwoman91 Chuck Norris will be back

Chuck Norris never read books. He just stared at them until they broke down and told him everything they knew. He’ll be missed.

@Hickenlooper I am a Colorado voter. In-person voting is more secure and reliable. I prefer voting in person. And I prefer the assurances of the SAVE Act that my franchise is not diluted by ineligible votes.

Mail-in voting is a win for everyone – Republicans, Independents, and Democrats. The so-called “SAVE America Act” would do the opposite: make it harder to vote and end universal mail-in voting. NO on the SAVE America Act.

@TimurNegru How far to the nearest trattoria?

69 acres of private Tuscany for €690k ($797k). The land includes an olive grove, a fruit orchard, a cork oak grove and 20 hectares of woodland. A natural spring produces 3,000 litres of water a day, solar panels cover the electricity and yes, it does have wifi. It's also been renovated, 370m² (3,983 sq ft) across 3 floors, 3 beds, 3 baths, with a pool and a sauna. 50 km to Volterra. Off-grid, self-sufficient, sauna, pool..what's missing here?

@LorenCulp @TuckerCarlson @joekent16jan19 @POTUS

I just watched the 2 hour interview with @TuckerCarlson of @joekent16jan19. Here's my take away from it. @POTUS should call Joe and beg him to come back as THE Senior adviser to the President on the middle east with an office right next to the Oval. Full Stop.

@Matt_Pinner 18. With plans to go to #19 later this year

I've been to 2, you ?

@Hickenlooper In-person voting is more secure than mail-in voting. I am a Colorado voter and I prefer to vote in person.

In 2025, 99% of Colorado Republicans used vote-by-mail to cast their ballots. President Trump’s SAVE America Act gets rid of universal mail-in voting.

@paulg “Explains”? You misspelled *hallucinates*

If you wondered why we're attacking Iran, Trump's counterterrorism head explains.

@RogerPielkeJr @kerpen I am both a producer and user of peer-reviewed research. Anybody who understands what peer review does knows full well that it does not attempt to establish whether or not the results are correct.

This from Paul Ehrlich will make you think "If I'm always wrong so is science, since my work is always peer-reviewed, including the POPULATION BOMB and I've gotten virtually every scientific honor." Link in reply

@DudespostingWs It’s a discrete distribution, not a normal distribution

He rolled dice 10,000 times over 17+ hours and documented the results, an almost perfect normal distribution.

@PaulRieckhoff @aravosis He’s neither important nor high profile. He’s lunatic fringe and should never have been hired to begin with.

The dam is busting holes. And today, a big one. The first important, high-profile Trump administration resignation. And it’s from his Director of the National Counterterrorism Center. Green Beret vet and Gold Star husband, Joe Kent. And here’s his statement. And, also important to note. Kent blames israel. And has had a questionable history of association with far right groups and promoting racial and Islamophobic bigotry and conspiracy theories. But, it’s still a very high-profile member of his national security team that’s out in a very public way. Over Iran. American wars don’t get more popular over time. And this one is historically low and dropping like a rock. With all political groups. And especially in Trump’s base. But the question is—does it matter? Does he care? Unlikely. He’s all gas and no brakes and not slowing down for anything or anyone. But this one could be the first of others. And the start of a wave of shake ups inside Trump’s team. As we continue to get less safe by the day.🚨🇺🇸 🎙️I’ll have more later today on a new Independent Americans: GoIndy.us

@KenRoth He was in the more moderate faction of those who butchered 10s of thousands of their countrymen this year?

Iran’s top security official Ali Larijani bridged the country’s hard-line military elements & more moderate political factions. Israel’s killing of him could open the way for the military to tighten its grip, giving Israel an excuse to keep the war going. trib.al/Q9xyN2u

@GeraldoRivera Every American has the right to voice their opinions. But Joe Kent is lunatic fringe.

Don’t know Joe Kent, but from everything I do know he’s a solid patriot, whose family certainly has earned the right to voice their opinions.
