Tom McCollough

@SenJohnCurtis Thank you.

Strengthening our partnership with Denmark and Greenland and working with our allies to secure the Arctic is in America’s national interest. Military force is not appropriate, not necessary, and not something I will support. Full stop.

@elonmusk @RayDalio Universal high income presumes that capitalism has been reformed. The OP (Ray) gives a link to an essay of his that gives ideas on how to pull that off. AFAIK Elon has never offered proposals, but merely the observation that it will one day be true.

@RayDalio It is certainly a nice gesture of the Dells, but there will be no poverty in the future and so no need to save money. There will be universal high income.

I personally appreciate the Trump administration’s launch of the Trump accounts, appreciate the Dells for piling on with their support, and appreciate both of them for allowing Dalio Philanthropies and others to join in. This emerging bipartisan effort exemplifies the sort of movement that I hoped for when I wrote “Why and How Capitalism Needs to be Reformed” economicprinciples.org/Why-and-How-Ca… six years ago. These Trump Accounts are great not just because they put money into stocks for these young people but also because they draw their attention toward how finance, stocks, companies, and capitalism work to improve society and can work for them. For capitalism to work, it must work well for most people. In addition to contributing to these accounts, I will work with others on financial literacy education so everyone gets the basics down—like learning to earn more than one spends and how to save and invest well. Said differently, I believe that human capital—the ability of humans to earn money and handle it well—is the most valuable type of capital and the backbone of a strong country, so that is what I am now most interested in investing in. If the American people can do this in a bipartisan way, we will have a strong country.

@SenJohnCurtis So what's your solution? And while you're at it, what about the balance in regular media that died when the Fairness Doctrine was rescinded.

Just like cigarette manufacturers, social media companies want you hooked to their product. Instead of the drug being nicotine delivered via cigarettes, it’s manipulated, rage-baiting content delivered to you via algorithms to keep you scrolling past revenue-generating ads.

@OldeWorldOrder @EricLDaugh So you want to scrap the first amendment and establish Christianity as a national religion? Do you want to do that with a revolution? A coup? Or the regular amendment process?

@EricLDaugh Pray for Usha, folks 🙏🏻✝️ She's a good woman, but she will become a GREAT woman when she accepts Jesus as her Lord & Savior. The simple fact that she goes to church with the family is a sign that she's on her way. Her journey towards God symbolizes this nation's journey.

🚨 JUST IN: JD Vance says he's raising his children Christian, and he hopes his agnostic wife, Usha, comes around to the Christian faith Vance's 8-year-old did his first Communion "about a year ago," and his two oldest kids go to a Christian school "Most Sundays, Usha comes with me to church." "Do I hope eventually she is moved by the same thing I was moved by? Yes. I honestly do wish that. I believe in the Christian gospel, and I hope eventually, my wife comes to see it the same way." 🙏

@RonaldReagan The Ontario edit doesn't misrepresent the original video in any way. The longer version reinforces the Ontario ad.

Listen to President Reagan's unedited remarks here: youtube.com/watch?v=5t5QK0…

@TuckerCNews It's up to the employer. But systematizing it with a database escalates division, which will make our problems worse.

🚨I want to get a sense of what my followers think on 𝕏 Do you think it's acceptable for people to lose their jobs for publicly celebrating the a*sa*sination of Charlie Kirk? YES or NO?

@BrendanCarrFCC @msnmatt How's this holding up, Brendan?

@msnmatt Who, in your view, should have the power to draw the line between a “lie” and “free speech”? Government officials that want to stay in political power or the people that can hold them accountable ?

Brazil’s decisions to ban X and freeze Starlink assets are part of a growing crackdown on free speech. But they also violates Brazil’s own laws. Today, I wrote my regulatory counterparts in Brazil to address these unlawful actions. ***** Dear ANATEL President Baigorri,   The FCC and ANATEL, the lead communications regulatory agencies in the U.S. and Brazil, have had a long-standing relationship—one built on reciprocity, respect for the rule of law, and our shared status as independent agencies established by law to operate without undue influence from the partisan political branches of our governments.   The sectors we regulate stand to benefit from continuing a partnership based on adherence to those foundational principles.  Indeed, you recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the FCC’s Chairwoman that further formalized the FCC and ANATEL relationship.   Nonetheless, I am compelled to address with you today the cascading set of apparently unlawful and partisan political actions that your agency has been carrying out against businesses with U.S. ties, including your own threat to pull Starlink’s licenses and authorizations to operate in Brazil.   These punitive actions—backed publicly by the Lula Administration—are already reverberating broadly and shaking confidence in the stability and predictability of Brazil’s regulated markets.  In fact, U.S. business leaders are now openly questioning whether Brazil is on the path to becoming an uninvestable market.   ANATEL is now actively enforcing a widely criticized decision by Justice de Moraes to censor X that, according to government officials in Brazil, violates Brazil’s own Constitution and your country’s statutory prohibitions against government censorship.   To make matters worse, Justice de Moraes chose to enforce his decision by freezing the assets of Starlink—even though Starlink is a separate company with different shareholders that has broken no laws. Justice de Moraes has failed to respect universal and basic tenets of transparency, fair notice, and due process.   Indeed, it has now been revealed that Justice de Moraes has been sending social media companies secret orders to censor the political posts of elected members of Brazil’s Congress.   “If this sounds authoritarian, it is,” the Washington Post wrote this week about Justice de Moraes’s takedown campaign.  Continuing, the Washington Post stated that Brazil’s recent moves come “at a substantial cost to free expression—with mandates for removals and even arrest warrants often issued under seal and with scant reasoning to support them.” “Brazilians shouldn’t have to put up with government suppressing political viewpoints,” it concluded.   While Justice de Moraes’s actions mirror crackdowns on free speech that are taking place across the globe, I am not writing you today based on a generalized concern about free expression—though I believe strongly that communications regulators like us should stand against this trend towards censorship.  Nor am I arguing that these actions by Brazil’s government somehow violate U.S. laws on free speech …   But according to Brazilian officials and legal authorities, Brazil is now violating its own laws through arbitrary and capricious actions against X and Starlink.  Indeed, the Justice de Moraes decision runs headlong into Brazil’s own Constitution, which expressly prohibits “[a]ny and all censorship of a political, ideological and artistic nature,” as well as other provisions of Brazilian law that further guarantee freedom of expression.   The serious and apparently unlawful actions against X and Starlink cannot be squared with the principles of reciprocity, rule of law, and independence that have served as the foundation of the FCC and ANATEL relationship and the basis for reciprocal foreign investment.   I am therefore requesting a meeting with you to address and resolve these issues.  If you prefer, I will come to you in Brazil to do so.

@SpencerHakimian That prayer/wish was part of a message specifically for Utahns, a wish that the assassin wasn't one of us, that in Utah, the state he looks after, we do better. He accepts that this wasn't the case after all. It isn't a crazy thing to wish for.

"For the last 33 hours, I had been praying that this person was from another country. That he was not one of us. But it was one of us." - Utah Governor Spencer Cox x.com/shannonrwatts/…

@furkangozukara Not what he said

@jkimballcook Someone from another country could mean wishing that the assassin was from Russia, who are known to be doing whatever they can to cause us to implode on our own

I think Cox has actually been pretty good overall on this, but praying the shooter would turn out to be an immigrant is a strange thing to say, imo

@BasedMikeLee You have got to be kidding

Trump for Nobel Peace Prize Who’s in?

@RealTStevenson It doesn't, the people do. And they use it.

The federal government should not own 65% of Utah. That’s the tweet.

@BasedMikeLee Who stands to benefit from the sale of public lands, and how does this align with Senator Lee's decisions?

Trump says Powell is “too late” What is it *not* too late to do? End the Fed!

@elonmusk @realDonaldTrump Are you 5?

@grok @fermiparasocks @ltsisk @catturd2 "a clear personal tragedy". Grok may have more humanity than a lot of humans on this app.

@fermiparasocks @ltsisk @catturd2 Both claims are true but differ in clarity. Social Security marked ~12.3M records of people over 120 as deceased, mostly non-beneficiaries, due to database errors. Media covered it, contrary to claims. @catturd2 accidentally ran over his dog Smiles in March 2024, a clear personal tragedy. The dog incident is "more true" as it's straightforward, while the Social Security claim needs context to avoid misinterpretation.

Because of DOGE, they just removed 12.3 million individuals listed at over 120-years-old from social security? And not one legacy propaganda network will mention it.

@Roett_Skaegg @DailyNoahNews @JayinKyiv Right. Can anyone truly believe that Trump wants peace, for the sake of peace? It's not who he is.

@DailyNoahNews @JayinKyiv Trump doesn't want peace. He wants accolades. He wants to be seen as a mediator because he is obsessed with the Nobel Prize. And why? Because he's jealous of the fact that Obama has one and he doesn't. Trump just wants attention. That's it! He's insane!!

"The phone call between Trump and putin looks like a clear defeat for the American president", - Sky News. "European leaders are stunned by Trump's account of the call with Putin" - Financial Times

@BasedMikeLee Agreed

The “Big, Beautiful Bill” won’t be beautiful—not even close—unless it reins in our deficit It currently falls far short of that We can still fix it And we must!

@BasedMikeLee Trump is the circus. He seeks to maximize the entertainment value of every action he takes.

What’s our version of bread and circuses?

@sizzle_sarah Lots of people getting wound up by a false post when they could have used grok to understand reality in a pair of seconds.

Obama imported 70,000 Somali immigrants and put them in Minnesota, where nearly all clustered in a single area, specifically, the Fifth Congressional District. That District recently was identified by the FBI as America’s terrorist recruitment capital and is represented by Ilhan Omar, who is calling for the dissolution of America’s Homeland Security. Are you connecting the dots yet?

@RetroAgent12 If the 2024 bipartisan immigration bill hadn't been scuttled by Trump, it would be easier right now to legally deport criminals. The irony.
