@tedcruz That's pathetic, Cruz. Same liberal BS we saw in 2015. Cognitive dissonance is obvious when a person has no arguement and cuts to highly emotional and ridiculous insults. Tucker is a loyal American. It's your loyalty that is being questioned and for good reason.

@MaryMurray77436 @MatrixMysteries Exactly. We own nothing. We only rent, yet they call it sovereignty. I look sound in 2026 at this manufactured K shaped economy and realize it's all just theft. They aren't using our money for us and it's gone too far.

@cwinkler85 @MatrixMysteries Absolutely agree with this…. Our whole government needs revamped…. It is really disgusting what they are doing to the average person, I got my vehicle registration in the mail today, it’s 570.00 for 1 year, and out of that 535.00 was classified as vehicle TAX, WTF

“Billions in taxpayer money flow through Congress as they work just 133 days and earn $174K salaries. What are we paying for?”
$810M in allowances, up to 18 staffers each, massive operating costs.
Billions in waste with NOTHING to show for it.
This is institutionalized FRAUD.

@Nero True. While the rage was earned, the response will be manufactured. This is how elites always skate responsibility. They stoke division through conspiracy and then point at the chaos or complexity they helped create. They turn it into something they can control. We lose.

@Nero You're correct, but one will never be enough. Trust wouldn't be restored without many high profile arrests and that was before Epstein. Now, it can't be restored anymore. Only purified in fire, and I, more than most, understand exactly what the implications of that are. It's bad.

@BuzzPatterson Until we go to war with our massive corruption problem, growth is quit literally irrelevant. It'll just be spent without a second thought. You're arguement is right on, but you're talking past the sale.

The future of America’s economic growth depends largely on energy. US electric companies are investing more than $1 trillion by 2029.
The Energy of Every Day elevates America's electric companies and the work they do behind the scenes to ensure power is there for all of life's moments.
Investor-owned electric companies are investing in the future to keep up with demand and manage costs for customers. Protecting the nation's energy grid and ensuring a reliable supply of affordable energy are top priorities for
electric companies.
Working with the Administration, Congress, and regulators and legislators across the country, investor-owned electric companies are focused on advancing policies that ensure America is home to the industries, technologies, and jobs of tomorrow. Not China or the Middle East.

The Democrat Party operates like one giant RICO case, but teachers unions are Enemy #1. They’ve funneled 98–99.97% of their campaign cash to Democrats for decades while delivering failing schools, indoctrination, and generational damage to American kids. The harm they’re causing this country is incalculable. They are also the only true systemically racist organization I've found yet they scream the loudest about everybody else. Destroy them to save your country @realDonaldTrump.

Gavin Newsom wasn’t going to bring it up himself so Bill Maher just came right out and asked him.
In doing so, Maher forced the admission.
MAHER: “Is there anything you’re going to say California was too far left on?”
“Because I feel like if you don’t, I think a lot of the country is not going to listen.”
NEWSOM: “I think there’s a lot of things, you know, I’ve said this in the past, things I could have done better.”
“I look at back at Covid. We just put out 1000 pages of what we’ve done right or wrong during Covid as it relates to the issues of outdoor and beaches being shut down, schools being shut down for too long…”
“On the issue of housing and homelessness, what we could have done more aggressively sooner.”
“But on social issues, where I think you tend to be leaning towards, I’ve also… I’ve made my point of view known as it relates to issues of sports and trans sports.”
“Which, I just think it’s not being transphobic… to be common sense.”

It’s not an insane position, but it doesn’t matter if it is. This is not going to stop until one elite criminal—just one—is held accountable for their actions. So long as Fauci walks free and Mueller is allowed to die peacefully at home this will go on and continue to escalate.

RECAP:
Quick scroll on what just unfolded in the last few hours...
-Trump just got briefed on "final blow" strike options against Iran. CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine spent 45 minutes walking him through targets that reportedly include Iran's remaining military equipment, IRGC leadership, and key infrastructure.
-Air defenses lit up over Tehran. Small surveillance quadcopters intercepted in the capital's airspace. Whoever sent them got close enough to make Iran shoot.
-Iranian drones struck Kurdish armed groups in Erbil, Iraq. Tit for tit, on the same night.
-The U.S. delivered 6,500 tons of munitions to Israel in 24 hours. Largest single-day shipment of the war. 115,600 tons total since February. The supply lines are running at full speed even with a ceasefire technically in place.
-The Trump assassin's surveillance footage was released. Cole Allen casing the Hilton the day before, rushing the checkpoint, shooting a Secret Service officer.
-Five high schoolers were stabbed at Foss High in Tacoma, Washington. All transported to local hospitals.
-Trump told reporters the world is "thanking him" for his Iran posture. Same day gas hit $4.30 a gallon and Americans now prefer the Biden economy in polling.

RECAP: The last few hours didn’t change the trajectory. They just made the contradictions harder to ignore. Trump stepped out and tried to thread the needle: publicly insisting the situation with Iran is “under control” and the U.S. is in a strong position, while refusing to rule out further strikes if provoked. He’s also leaning hard on semantics, suggesting the current ceasefire means the U.S. may not even be “at war” right now - a convenient way to dodge the War Powers clock hitting its limit. Behind that, the military posture tells a different story. Strike options are still being actively reviewed, and contingency planning around the Strait of Hormuz hasn’t slowed. Iran, for its part, is still signaling it’s ready to escalate again if the U.S. resumes attacks. So the “pause” looks more like both sides catching their breath with fists still up. Also, air defenses have been activated over Tehran in the last hour, reportedly intercepting reconnaissance drones trying to probe Iranian skies. Still developing and details unconfirmed. On Capitol Hill, Pete Hegseth got grilled and mostly stuck to one line: the ceasefire effectively pauses the War Powers timeline. He also sidestepped committing to any Congressional authorization, while lawmakers cited updated costs now landing closer to ~$50B with no clear end state. Congress pushed, complained, and ultimately did nothing binding. Meanwhile, the broader pressure is building. Oil remains elevated, the economic ripple effects are starting to bite, and the political cost at home is creeping up alongside it.

@WallStreetApes For context, this was 2006-2008 and it was a licensed Starbucks run by a company called Aramark inside the JP Morgan Chase headquarters in Columbus OH. I think corporate Starbucks paid around $8 at the time.

@WallStreetApes Funny. I spent two years working there. It was my third job in life. Age 20 - 22. I got paid $7.80 an hr but we also had a tip jar, so that brought in a little more.

Starbucks CEO defends a cup of coffee costing $9
He says the customers needs to just not think about it as a $9 cup of coffee, you’re paying for the “experience” of getting a Starbucks coffee
“In some cases a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging, and then what that means is we have to make it worthwhile.”
He says Starbucks customers “want to have a special experience and regardless of what your income level is, in some cases, a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging — well, this is a really affordable premium experience”
How out of touch could a person possibly be…

Today the Supreme Court ruled that racial discrimination in creating voting districts is indeed racial discrimination and you can't do it anymore. Leftists are outraged that they can't be racist when drawing their districts.
I'll put it another way, since I know they won't read the SCOTUS decision or the Voting Rights Act, before getting their undies in a wad and spouting the racist opinion they've been programmed to repeat. The SCOTUS decision said that using race to draw your districts, like Louisiana did when they said, 'Hey! We need another majority-black district!' is just as racist as if they had said, 'Hey! We need a another majority white district!' and you can't do it anymore.
If you disagree with this ruling, please either be logically consistent by equally defending a state's choosing to create majority-white districts (or majority-black districts, or majority-asian districts, or majority-latino districts) OR explain why we should be racist (treat races differently) in the way we draw districts, allowing them to be drawn with certain races in mind but not others. Explain why we should be looking at race AT ALL when it comes to drawing districts. I know what the Woke Left AND the Woke Right argument is for why we should be racists, but I'd like to hear someone make it and defend it in 2026.
SCOTUS Wire@scotus_wire
🚨 In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court strikes down Louisiana's new congressional map that added a second majority-black district, holding that it constitutes a racial gerrymander. The Court narrows its previous interpretation of the Voting Rights Act.

The farm bill is back on the menu tonight. This place is insane. Keep up the pressure to pass the amendment to strip out pesticide labeling ban / immunity from the farm bill. It’s now possible we will vote on it tonight.
Thomas Massie@RepThomasMassie
The vote on the Farm Bill (with PRIME Act included!) is likely delayed two weeks now due to fight over E15. I look forward to voting for an amendment to strip the pesticide immunity/state labeling ban from the bill when it comes up. With public support, the amendment could pass.

Perhaps it's time to try the embrace and amplify tactic. Conservatives should discover their disability and learn to act them out like the left does. Give them what they want. Sign everybody up for state sponsorship. They'll destroy themselves faster than political debate will. I've argued we should use this tactic on the left for years.

New York is building an expensive welfare state without the tools that make it possible at the national level.
One reason: NYC isn't targeting programs to the truly poor.
Targeting is crucial to make benefit programs sustainable. NYC has been moving in the opposite direction: launching targeted programs, then broadening eligibility. Benefit programs like Pre-K, Fair Fares, and CityFHEPS have all followed this pattern.
Today, everyone feels poor, or at least economically anxious—so the ranks of those who believe they deserve government assistance keeps growing.
Something has to give.
