@anythingai You want us to publicly post our app idea? Even if it's a weekend project that seems like a bad idea if I plan on doing something with the app I create with @anythingai

We've had 10k+ signups (thank you!) To celebrate, we're launching a hackathon this weekend to show off what you can make with Anything Quote w/ your idea to enter Reply w/ your app to submit (Sunday 11:59pm deadline) Best app gets $10k

Russia, Russia, Russia was right, right, right. mediaite.com/news/well-done…

If the US economy collapses, it’ll take Europe, Japan, South Korea and China down with it because they’re 100% interlinked and interdependent, thanks to complex supply chains and all that. Russia, thanks to insane worldwide sanctions, emerges unscathed.

@ianmiles Trump is a Russian agent. We've been trying to tell the world for a decade. "Russia, thanks to insane worldwide sanctions, emerges unscathed."

@BillAckman @howardlutnick You, sir, have the backbone of a wet noodle.

It was unfair of me to lash out at @howardlutnick. I don’t think he is pursuing his self interest. I am sure he is doing the best he can for the country while representing the President as Commerce Secretary. It is not an easy job and we don’t know how the sausage was made. I am just frustrated watching what I believe to be a major policy error occur after our country and the president have been making huge economic progress that is now at risk due to the tariffs. I would love to be proven wrong and watch this approach to tariffs and/or their resolution be enormously beneficial to our country and the global economy.

@BillAckman Thanks for endorsing Trump, ahole. This outcome was obvious. I hope you personally lose billions, but I bet you have a billion stashed away safely. For you personally, endorsing a complete moron who bankrupted a casino was not such a big risk. A struggling globe says 'thanks!'

How’s this for a simple approach? We keep 10% across the board tariffs for the special privilege of doing business with the U.S. to compensate us for the investments we have made in global defense, health and otherwise, and to compensate our country for historically unfair trade practices that have contributed to our massive deficits and national debt. We keep the pressure on China to resolve materially unfair trading practices, IP theft, currency manipulation, and other practices that have disadvantaged our nation. We pause reciprocal tariff implementation for 90 days so we have time to engage in private negotiations with other countries, focusing first on those whose tariffs and practices have materially interfered with the competitiveness of U.S. manufactured goods in their markets. Lastly, we consider that: (1) it does not make sense to have balanced trade with countries that are smaller than us and that have fewer resources to spend on US goods, i.e., we will forever be buying more from Madagascar than they will buy from us, (2) attempting to bring back jobs in low-wage manufacturing is not good for America, acknowledging, for example, that Bangladesh and Vietnam are better places to produce textiles and athletic shoes than here, (3) U.S. ‘exports’ of software, IP, finance, and other services are high value and important sources of trade that are not reflected in traditional measures of exports and imports, and if included in the calculations would make the balance of trade statistics look much more balanced, (4) our multinationals’ subsidiaries that sell services in foreign countries that are not counted in the balance of trade calculation, but generate profits, value and future dividends are good for America, (5) a goal of generating a dollar of exports for every dollar of imports is not a useful one, particularly on a country-by-country basis in light of our massively higher standard of living, and having the largest economy in the world. Lastly, the current trading system, while far from perfect or fair to the U.S., has served us extremely well so we need to be prudent in how we change it so as not to upset the world order in such a manner that it disadvantages our country over the long term.

@HouseDemocrats Why are you posting on this platform? You're just creating ad revenue for your enemy.

@RepPeteAguilar Why are you bothering posting here? You're just making ad revenue for President Apartheid.

House Republicans voted to cut Medicaid. The Trump Administration is dismantling the agency that ensures seniors and people with disabilities get the social security benefits they’ve earned. This is a betrayal of the middle class.

@RepJimmyGomez Why are you making and posting content to profit Elon Musk?

Trump promised to lower costs on Day 1, but grocery prices keep rising. Families are now spending 11%+ of their income on groceries—the most in decades. All while Trump & the GOP push to steal from working families to pay for new tax breaks for billionaires. Enough!

@RepTedLieu Why are you making and posting content to profit Elon Musk?

As a veteran, it is outrageous to see Trump’s misinformation. Zelensky is not a dictator. Ukraine did not start the war, Russia did. Firing employees at the VA and people who keep our nuclear facilities safe is disturbing. This is the stupid chaos of DOGE & the Trump Admin.

@RepPeteAguilar Why are you making content for Elon Musk?

The House Republican Budget will take away health care from more than 10 million Californians to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. This is not going to make the cost of eggs cheaper or housing less expensive, but it is going to put children and seniors who need health care at risk.

@HouseDemocrats Why are you making content for Elon Musk?

The Trump-endorsed Republican Budget does nothing to lower the cost of groceries, gas, housing or utilities. It cuts health care for working families to pay for tax giveaways for billionaires.

@SenAlexPadilla Why are you making content for Elon Musk?

Republicans are racing to gut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for their billionaire friends––leaving 15 million Californians who rely on Medi-Cal to fend for themselves.   It's indefensible.

@niravtolia You posting on this app just helps solidify Nextdoor's reputation as being yet another maga right-wing disinformation app. Aren't you trying to gain users?

In 1996, I joined Yahoo! as employee #84. At the time, I had no idea what the decision would lead to. But throughout my career, I've witnessed how life's most pivotal moments often emerge from unexpected decisions. I call these "sliding doors moments" – seemingly small choices that fundamentally alter the trajectory of our lives. So here's mine: The mid-90s marked the dawn of the internet era — but I didn't know that at the time. I was a pre-med student @Stanford, fully committed to following my parents' footsteps into medicine. At the time, @Yahoo wasn't the tech giant it would become –– only 14% of Americans were online, and to most people, "YooHoo" meant a chocolate milk drink, not an internet company. Looking back, this one decision launched my entire career in technology. But here's the truth: It wasn't strategic planning or brilliant foresight –– it was pure serendipity. Sometimes our most transformative decisions are the unexpected turns, the chance encounters, the leaps we take without fully understanding their significance. I'll share more about my Yahoo! journey in future posts, but for now, I'm curious: What are your sliding doors moments? Can you trace your life back to a seemingly random decision that ended up changing everything?

@AngieVroom @school Now he's running for school board on a transphobia platform.
