@unlimited_ls She makes bad decisions resulting in her son dying and now wants to use government against her neighbors Perhaps people should just be accountable for their decisions

🚨NEW: Florida mother whose son died in an e-motorcycle crash is now pushing lawmakers to fully ban e-bikes and e-scooters for children under 14 Colton Remsburg, 13, was riding his e-bike when he was struck and killed by a pickup truck. He was not wearing a helmet and was not in a marked crosswalk Colton’s mother, Ashley LaChance, is now urging lawmakers to ban these e-bikes/e-motorcycles for kids under 14 Since December 1, there have been 41 crashes involving e-bikes and scooters in Orange County that resulted in injuries The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is finalizing a new e-bike ordinance that would allow deputies to issue citations and even impound them for repeated violations

@DefiantLs I mean, it couldn't be that he was pointing out how inconsistent Trump is

If running against Trump is such a winning strategy, why did Massie spend the last hours of his campaign pretending Trump endorsed him?

@strxwmxn Name one member of Congress better than Massie. Who would you vote for over him, if they were running in your district?

Thomas Massie used to be a principled libertarian, but in recent years he transformed into a populist conspiracist, obsessed with cabals, cover-ups, and witch hunts that violate many of the libertarian principles he once claimed to uphold. A thread. 🧵

It's hard to pick one incident as "peak woke," but a leading candidate: At the U of Washington, adult Jewish students wept and begged for a peaceful pro-Palestinian rally to be stopped, and Fox's Hannity demanded all colleges ban such protests because it creates discomfort:

@JimOstrowski @RealAngelaMc Is there a reason you continue to invest energy into the LP? Remove the life support already

It wasn’t my idea but the LP convention voted against a motion to allow me to thank my supporters at the podium. No class. But somehow party insider Wes Benedict was given a chance to make an endorsement after he was eliminated. One percent for fifty years.

Outstanding. Got her out before she dropped the anchor baby. This is how it’s supposed to work. An avalanche of disincentives. If we debank all illegals we’ll make WAY more progress.

@tropicalupdate Does this resolve the drought rainfall totals?

Looking ahead Florida. I think it is safe to say all 23.4 million of you will see rain the next 10 days. Latest NOAA blend of models here. Tropical juice will be flowing in from the Caribbean. Not all falls at once. But some isolated areas could see several inches in any random cell or rain train that sets up. The iguanas are definitely happy!

When Democratic partisans are out of power, they love to blame everyone who refused to vote Dem for the bad acts of the GOP President. Yet House Dems will unanimously vote for this warmongering, AIPAC-serving corporatist to lead their party again, this time as House Speaker.

@DrunkRepub Trump: delay the Epstein file release Trump: give immunity to glyphosate manufacturers Trump: launc reckless & stupid middle east war Trump: states should fund childcare and social welfare programs while the federal government funds Pentagon at $1.5T Who is the saboteur?

For the record I liked Massie for years. Tucker and others too. But my common sense forces me to be wary of those attempting to sabotage the mandate Trump was given in ‘24. Jumping ship at the very moment real change was possible stinks. Sorry, it just does.

Early records from the Carolina & Appalachian frontier ~1680-1709 are very clear that there were large spotted “Tigres” (who were larger & more bold than “Panthers”) living in the area—usually in the deepest parts of the forests & swamps where only the Natives ventured off into. English Explorers John Lawson & Thomas Ash saw them & documented it—later explorers from the 1800s saw farmers with “Tigres” furs hung up in their barns through the eastern US. Both Jaguars & Mountain Lions were almost certainly living across the continental US as little as 300 years ago.

Just 20 seconds with an Israeli flipped this boy from neutral to pro-Palestinian.

@libsoftiktok Weird how sexual degenerates fantasize about and do sexually degenerate stuff (including victimizing children) We should definitely not stigmatize their proclivities because somehow our society is more upright and progressive with them in it

Detroit doctor Lincoln Erickson pleads guilty to child p**n charges He allegedly sent messages including “I love being a pedo” and fantasized about having a baby with another man who they could “f**k and groom.” There has never been a stronger case for the woodchipper.

I certainly hope that President Trump can seal this deal, it would be historic. That said, it will be nearly impossible for many of the countries to make a peace deal with Israel because of Gaza. It will also be nearly impossible for Israel to accept an end to the war w/ the current Iranian gov in power. We don’t need a deal to just leave, playing referee in these disputes has gotten us nothing but death & debt. Pull our troops out, negotiate pragmatic deals individually with Middle East nations, including Iran, as needed. The American people don’t benefit from the empire we are trying to preserve.

When Kamala ran in 2024, she mocked Trump for refusing to confront Iran with sufficient aggression. Last year, Chuck Schumer mocked Trump for trying to resolve the Iran issue with diplomacy. Now Booker complains the deal is too soft on Iran. That's the Dem Party.

@OcrazioCornPop @DA_Stockman @RepThomasMassie I would support Massie if he ran for local dog catcher

🚨 MASSIE BACK in 2028? Thomas Massie just lost the most expensive House primary in American history to an AIPAC & Israel-backed challenger. He JUST FILED to run again for the KY-04 House seat in 2028. WOULD YOU SUPPORT @RepThomasMassie IN 2028?

@SciTechera Humanity stops progressing when we offload cognition to machines. At that point it is machines that sre progressing, not humanity

> calculators destroyed the cost of computation. > internet crushed distribution costs. > solar panels became 90% cheaper over decades. > genome sequencing went from billions of dollars to under $1,000. AI could do something similar for "cognitive labor", That was historically expensive and inaccessible to most people. A golden era of scientific progress is about to begin!

@Molson_Hart The turducken of islands

Vulcan point is an island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island in an ocean

Loans, funding, arms sales, diplomatic concessions, etc all from the US and all to directly aid Israel

@RichardWayne500 @RealFrankFromFL Keep watching Fox News

@blind_nut @RealFrankFromFL You don't know what a boomer is and you'd never make it that long.

Would Governor Ron DeSantis get your vote in the 2028 Presidential Primary? ◯ Yes ◯ No

@LeadingReport Funny how Bill Gates funded "vaccine research" for this "rare strain" two months before the outbreak. cepi.net/ambitious-rese…

Health experts warn there is currently no Ebola vaccine for the new rare strain amid outbreak, per Daily Mail.
