Henry Ford was generally a racist and a bad person, but he understood something our current broligarchs have completely forgotten.
He said: I have to pay my workers enough to afford the products they’re building.
Give them a house, decent schools, reasonable healthcare.
If I do that, they’re not descending on my Dearborn mansion with pitchforks while I eat my caviar.
We’ve lost that plot entirely.
We have broligarchs who want to be trillionaires and they’re missing the lesson that a deeply flawed man figured out a hundred years ago.
Capitalism works, but only if people believe the game is worth playing.
Right now they don’t and history is very clear about what comes next.

@FrankLuntz @Meta Words are cheap. They say something is not a breaking story.

A Louisiana school district says some teachers will receive $50,000 bonuses this year thanks to increased tax revenue from a @Meta data center construction project.
Local officials said the windfall for teachers, funded by a portion of the parish’s sales tax, reflects an influx of economic activity that is revitalizing a slumping region.

@RepNancyMace How has sucking up to Trump worked out for you? Unemployed I see.

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:
Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.
You won’t.
You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.
That is not who we are.
My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.
For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.
I no longer believe that.
Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.
And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.
That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.
Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.
Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.
Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?
We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.
So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.
You won’t.
The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.
That is the only definition that matters.

Trump dropped an absolute bombshell yesterday. The media focused on him saying "I love the inflation." But did you hear the Venezuela raid-sized news he announced AFTER THAT?
The U.S. military has been secretly taking millions of barrels of oil OUT of the Strait of Hormuz in a massive operation. Not even Iran knew this. Everyone thought the tankers were just sitting there. THEY WEREN'T. That's why oil prices didn't reach deadly levels. That's why gas prices are dropping.
This is one of the most impressive military operations I’ve ever heard about. So why announce it to the world now? Why not let it keep going in secret? Here's my guess: It was a massive poker move against Iran, showing them that they have NO LEVERAGE, it let China know that America still controls the seas, and it let the American people know that Trump has a plan and it's WORKING.
That sure sounds like America First to me.

@Acyn When he reaches the “Trump” number of scandals I will call for him to step down.

Enough is enough. President Trump and our Armed Forces decimated Iran militarily, but the Iranian regime has been trying to rebuild and now they've taken down an American Apache. Thank God the two American servicemembers are safe.
President Trump is absolutely right. There is a pressing necessity for the U.S. to respond to this attack.

@atrupar Ron Johnson saw the 2020 mail ballot chaos firsthand in Wisconsin where drop boxes and secret late counts flipped everything.
X videos of the raw evidence still sit there while the same media machine calls it all nothing.
English

NEWSNATION: Trump has never had any evidence of rigged elections. Do you side with him when he speaks about it?
RON JOHNSON: There is so much evidence of irregularities in the 2020 election, but all you do is say 'there's no evidence' -- there are all kinds of irregularities
NN: There's never been anything proven at scale
JOHNSON: People who do things cover it up
NN: But why not present the evidence?
