@ncsh @santoshsankar This is shockingly bad for the very innovation that VC is intended to facilitate.

We are in the age of consensus capital: 1- Almost 75% of all LP $ raised by 5 funds 2- Almost 75% of all VC $ invested in 5 companies

@RapidResponse47 @StateDept @POTUS Try not threatening to take Greenland or subjugate Canada before expecting NATO support.

.@POTUS: "We've had no help — ZERO — from NATO. We're there for them, they're not there for us... if they're not going to be with us on Iran, they're not going to be with us on a much bigger subject than Iran."

@dunkhippo33 @Mat_Sherman Also capital. Deals get done in SF that NY based VC’s can’t.

The debate about whether founders need to move to San Francisco misses the real point. It's not about capital. It's about density of ambition and understanding competitive pace and landscape. More >>

@chrissyfarr Medical or Law will both be licensed and regulated professions, and hence defensible even in the age of AI.

Your high school senior is deciding between medical school, law school or an MBA - but worried about the lack of jobs in the coming decades due to AI. Which are you most supportive of?

@txgermanbre @PeterCorless It has to happen for the benefit of the country and party. The 21st century @gop is a national disgrace, that is lacking in platform, talent and basic competence.

At this point it looks like more than a blue wave: it’s more like nuking the entire Republican Party not only on a federal level but state and then down to the county and town level. Just so you guys know I’m in deep red Texas, voters just flipped all four school districts near me to blue.

@dandinohill It’s a 2 party system and post-Reagan @gop collapsed. Hence, there’s always a 50% chance of bad leadership. Curious corruption was just a function of capital figuring out which candidate could be most easily bought, and that’s Trump.

How did good Americans end up with such corrupt leadership?

Trump's erratic behavior and extreme comments revive an important debate on his mental health: As Trump threatens to wipe out Iran and attacks the pope, even some former allies and advisers are questioning whether he has grown increasingly unbalanced, describing him as "lunatic" and "clearly insane." nytimes.com/2026/04/13/us/…

@yarotrof She’s going to give him a bloody nose. She’s smarter, more talented and courageous. It’s just unfortunate that global Conservative talent has to resort to xenophobia.

Trump lashing out at Meloni is the best thing that can happen to her politically. Given how toxic Trump (and Netanyahu) are across the political spectrum in Italy, closeness to both had become an albatross around her neck. corriere.it/esteri/26_apri…

We can't keep looking away from his emotional and cognitive issues. The attack on the Pope was the beginning of a full night of melting down. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…

In his second term, Trump seems even less restrained and more incoherent at times. He uses more profanity, speaks longer, regularly makes comments rooted in fantasy rather than fact, wanders off into odd tangents and shocks even allies with his outbursts. nytimes.com/2026/04/13/us/…

@MikeJoPro No. He has no capacity for governing, public service, policy or statecraft. In the current term he has appointed lackeys who somehow are even less competent than those of his first term. He has destroyed American exceptionalism and exposed the limits of its power. He’s a moron.

Is there anything Trump has done that in any way has benefited the average American? Healthcare, Cost of Living, Education, Hunger, Homelessness, Infrastructure, Climate Change, Crime, Gun Control, anything. Anything at all?

@RossKneeDeep No, it’s Trump. He has no regard for the law and no mental or emotional capacity to be POTUS.

Our biggest problem really isn't Trump. It's the people around him. They benefit the most. Collapse his support team and the head will die. Vote out every Republican.

The NYT is finally reporting on Trump’s mental state, just 10 years late nytimes.com/2026/04/13/us/…

@herotimeszero Integrity. Respect for the law. Knowledge of public service. Statecraft. Economic policy. Foreign policy. Investment in education and healthcare. Basically all the things @gop and Trump are capable of.

What do they have that Trump never ever will?

it is now obvious to every sane and sensible person that those who warned how dangerous it would be to put Trump in the White House were right. open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/tr…

@Kellblog It’s about time this issue gets prominence.

@RapidResponse47 It was actually…4

@mikhlin This seems to have been the most relevant and surreal Coachella in a long time.

@atrupar @christiaanhtznr @AriFleischer THIS is embarrassing. This!? This!? Of all the things that Trump has said or done in a decade of ruining @gop and America, you think this is embarrassing!? You ought to know - an illegal war and no sight of WMD in Iraq was pretty embarrassing too.

@AriFleischer wow Ari, can't believe you'd criticize your Leader for posting what is clearly an image of him as a doctor

President Trump’s team never should have posted this image. If he saw it first, he never should have approved it. It’s inappropriate and embarrassing. It’s offensive. (Note: It was posted on Truth Social, not X)

@Trace_Cohen Hungry

Is there a word or phrase to describe people who open the fridge multiple times in a short time span hoping something magically appeared?
