@David_J_Bier At some point “the bourgeoisie will punish the proletariat” has to stop being a reason we let the rich do whatever they want.

I support this. But it will only mean lower wages for the students, as the taxes will get passed onto them. Employers aren't benefiting from this.
Fox News Politics@foxnewspolitics
FIRST ON FOX: Republicans move to kill a payroll tax loophole that gives employers a financial incentive to hire foreign students over American graduates — after ICE uncovered 10,000 'phantom workers' exploiting the system. Rep. Glenn Grothman's OPT Fair Tax Act would force employers to pay the same Social Security and Medicare taxes for foreign OPT workers that they already pay for domestic hires. The bill targets a pipeline that averages 330,000 foreign student workers annually. Closing the loophole could generate up to $36 billion in federal revenue over 10 years.

@RiseOfAlberta Surrounded on all sides by superpowers and no ocean access. This is embarrassing at a practical level.
English
Slovakia did it. Slovenia did it. Singapore did it with a city and no resources.
Alberta has a multi-trillion dollar resource base and more GDP than 150 countries.
The idea that Alberta independence isn’t possible isn’t supported by historical reality.

@LTGetsPolitical Capitalism: maximum wealth extraction as the main objective.

Unambiguous admission of maximum wealth extraction as the main objective.

Yes, Tennessee is awful and the people are dumb. No one who votes blue should move here. You’re all too smart and sophisticated for all us ignorant rubes down here.

@BarryADG1975 @adammocklerr @AllThingsCivil @JimHansonDC Iran has more power over the global economy today than they did 3 months ago. How is this a win.
English
@adammocklerr @AllThingsCivil @JimHansonDC The goal is not political concession. The goal is to destroy Iran's ability to wreak worldwide havoc via terrorism, which includes making sure they dont develop a nuke weapon.

I can't think of anything more comical than a 23 year old with zero real world accomplishments explaining to "MAGA Operators" how warfare and geostrategy intersect.
Oh do tell Adam, and where did you gain this tremendous insight none of us with decades on the ground and in the game failed to?
I'm not some Ivory Tower academic or think tanker
I have deployed to dozens of countries I doubt you could find on a map. I've watched out political leaders fail and tried my damndest to show them the light.
Now we have a leader who understands American power and exceptionalism and has the stones to employ it. But instead of seeing how that plays out, we should take the advice of an un-experienced, smarmy toad who vomits political talking points as if they are wisdom.
They are NOT. They are not even founded in the slightest reality, but you have no way to know that because you are the ultimate know nothing. Sniping from the sidelines of a life and death game in which you will never participate.
Talk is cheap. Uninformed trash talk from a fatuous, fat-faced, featherbrain is the cheapest of all.

I know Scott Jennings tantrum got all the attention yesterday, but I want to talk a little bit about what I said that got him so mad. The bottom line is: Trump’s war with Iran has failed. This has made it mentally strenuous for MAGA operators to defend it on TV. For 8 weeks now, Scott has pointed to the U.S. destroying the 50 year old Navy and Air Force of Iran to try and prove we have won. This is dishonest for many reasons. The point of war is not to kill your enemies and blow up their navy. That’s an infantile view of war that MAGA is pushing to trick Americans. The point of war is to use force to extract political concessions from your enemy that benefit you on the world stage. Trump has been unable to translate his military success into a SINGLE political concession from Iran. Not one. This is a failed war. The Strait is closed. Iran won’t even negotiate. The enriched uranium is still in Iran with their blueprints stored in the Cloud. So enter Scott Jennings. He has claimed weekly that victory is right around the corner with this war… but we have blown past the 4-6 week deadline set by this administration and have failed to get a single concession. So I asked the simple question: “Can you name a single political concession we have gotten from Iran?” He couldn’t answer. Never forget the weakness he showed when he had no answer for Trump’s mistakes.

@UFCRosterWatch Brother, either the fighters or the share holders get the money. Give it to the fighters. 40k minimum to fight in the premier fight promotion on the planet is laughably small.
English
Easy to have a minimum of $40,000 when each fighter on the card is a former UFC Athlete and well known, many who were champions or title contenders. Nate Diaz,Ronda Rousey,Junior Dos Santos,Francis Ngannou. In fact a $40,000 minimum for these guys is laughable.
Try giving 40k to a newcomer with a record of 6-4 who comes in short notice and convinced 5 family members to attend and pulled in 66 PPV from his home town.
At least UFC will give this guy $12k show and $12k win, all year round.
Ariel Helwani@arielhelwani
Ronda Rousey announces the minimum purse for any fighter on the MVP MMA card will be $40,000. “If you fight 3 times a year, that is much more than a living wage. That’s something the UFC cannot say.”

@dpatten11 @BrendanDarr Neither of which would make any sense coming from someone who doesn’t understand what inflation is and thinks increased public sector spending =‘s “the hottest economy on the planet”
You’ve already demonstrated you’re WAY out of your depth attempting to talk economics big guy,
English
This negates the whole “I regret my vote for Trump” clip from a few weeks ago. This is just deeply embarrassing that he can’t even answer the why. Like, just say it. We all know why, just say it. Own it.

@Chaseoldman @BrendanDarr I could argue that the inflation fell at the end of Biden’s term or I could argue that the excess spending was done under Trump. Which do you prefer?
English
@dpatten11 @BrendanDarr You don’t understand what inflation is if you think “the hottest economy on the planet” is an accurate description.
English
@Chaseoldman @BrendanDarr Even if all the wars went the exact same way ( it wouldn’t have) at bare minimum we not have tariffs. At this point that is worthy of my lesser than 2 evils vote. We had the hottest economy on the planet after Covid until Trump fucked it.

@BigIdiotHeatGuy Being a Republican is a southern man’s identity. You are asking him to change his soul, not a political belief

Probably 50 million voters like this guy who will never change their mind despite being incapable of providing a single valid reason why they’re operating that way. Sad.

🚨 Andrew Tate, known for being a motivator of young men, has an inspirational message for his viewers:
"If you think there is ever going to be a version of masculine consciousness which is anything other than constant anxiety and pain, you need to wake the f*** up. The only guarantee that exists on this planet is that you are going f***ing suffer and hate your f***ing life."
He really is projecting, assuming that everyone watching is as miserable as he is.

@AndroidCarlisle @Willemdaefoe @J3ffMiller @NateSilver538 @Bassaces1 I said the exact opposite of that. Democrats are the lesser evil. Nice straw man though.
English
@dpatten11 @Willemdaefoe @J3ffMiller @NateSilver538 @Bassaces1 "Everything Democrats do is good or benign. Everything Republicans do is bad and evil."
That's not the reality of the world, just your bias speaking.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.
