Mr. Stress

@TallKP @Jason @RoKhanna Yes when I’m trying to fill a bucket with water that has a hole on the bottom I don’t worry about fixing the hole I just keep adding water.

@Jason @RoKhanna "You can't take an immediately actionable step until you go through the slow process to fix a much more complex problem." Nirvana fallacy, preconditionalism, and concern trolling. Coincidentally, Jason continues to benefit and others suffer while you try to fix that problem.

1. Strange bedfellows 2. If you spend a year auditing California and violently eliminating fraud @RoKhanna, you would have the high ground in this discussion. .... but no one wants to pour more water into the leaky bucket that is government spending.

@DemSocialists @ZohranKMamdani It all sounds great but in reality all we’ll get is gay race communism.

We agree with @ZohranKMamdani. Democratic Socialism can flourish anywhere in the country, and we're working from coast to coast to prove it. There is only one majority: the working class.

@MichaelAvenatti lol o yea this fucking guy.

My official website is live. It’s honest about who I was, what happened, and where things stand. Nothing more, nothing less. michaelavenatti.com

Hey @elonmusk, I really hope you see this message and look into it. I think every 2024 Foundation Series Cybertruck and all Cybertrucks after should get the 7 year / 70,000 mile high priced propulsion related warranty retroactively applied. A lot of early Foundation Series owners had their trucks plagued with issues. Many of us still believe in the future of the truck and we're holding on to ours and encouraging others to buy. Early FS owners didn't get free Supercharging like later FS owners did. And now with this extended warranty for 2026 Cybertrucks and newer, that's why you're seeing comments about early owners feeling like they got screwed. No customer should ever feel like that after a purchase. I personally had 2 Cybertrucks with PCS and other major failures that made the vehicle completely inoperable. I still kept my truck because it's the best truck ever made and Tesla has fixed the reliability issues on newer models. Other automakers frequently extend warranty coverage retroactively through Warranty Extension Programs or Special Coverage when widespread issues come up. Tesla should do the same. This would show future customers that Tesla stands behind every single product they sell, no matter what. The Tesla I've come to know has always taken care of its customers. I truly hope you do right by early Cybertruck owners too. @cybertruck @Tesla @tesla_na

@NYCMayor #warm embrace of other’s stuff

We will be taxing the ultra-wealthy and global elites.

@TomSteyer I am not a billionaire and I look for any loophole I can find to lower my taxes because they all get pissed away with nothing to show for it when I do pay. Make it easier for Californians and lower our taxes big boii.

Billionaires like me and big corporations need to pay more in taxes, because too many Californians are struggling to get by.

@petersavodnik Just holding him to the standards he so enthusiastically supported.

1. Swalwell did some very unsavory stuff, and I find it a little confusing that his wife is still his wife, but that's between them. 2. I can imagine some voters voting against him in future elections because of this unsavoriness, but, of course, the voters have been cut out of the equation. 3. Are we missing something? All these women are adults. No one did anything illegal. Definitely inappropriate, crude, wrong. But illegal? Why are we acting as if he blindfolded and raped -- actually raped -- an underage girl behind an alley in the dark of night? If it comes out in the future that there was more to this story, then we should proceed accordingly. But for now, this all feels just a tad overwrought. 4. People keep talking about "justice." Maybe. But real justice demands truth, and we're not getting much of that right now. The truth is the timing of this whole scandal smells awful, with en election six weeks away, and everyone knows it; it's inconceivable that did not play a big role here. Aren't some (most?) of his accusers "content creators," meaning influencers -- people whose livelihoods depend on clicks, shares, *attention*? Why aren't we bothered by the fact that, just months ago, one or more of his accusers were still posting go-Eric-go content? It feels like the public is being manipulated. 5. The Democrats. My God these people roll over like a bunch of pinstriped mannequins. They're terrified of being perceived as in any way having abetted Swalwell's crimes against humanity, so they feel compelled to denounce him with a great, uncontrollable fervor. Never mind that many of the denouncers are, one imagines, guilty of any number of their own indiscretions. 6. The silver lining. It's hard to imagine that Swalwell would have been the transformative governor California desperately needs. Gavin Newsom was lobbying on his behalf, which is why, presumably, the congressman landed the endorsements of the major public-sector unions -- meaning he would have been unable to do much about the state's subpar schools or tackle its budget woes or deregulate an economy suffocating under the weight of decades of pay to play regulation c/o the environmentalists, the plaintiff's bar, etc. Nor would he have held Newsom to account as the now-governor launches his White House bid. There is a chance -- slim but not exactly remote -- that something constructive comes of all of this.

@RepSwalwell lol went from wanting to defund ice to defunding yourself.

@MorePerfectUS Less human drivers, less bipoc people getting pulled over by evil cops, no need for cops to give tickets, less accidents and fatalities. Yes a horrible potential future.

NEW: If Waymo gets its way, 2 million workers will be out of work. When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, wages go down. Some drivers now have to work 12 hours day, 7 days a week just to get by. This isn't inevitable — but Big Tech is spending millions to make you think it is.

@katieporterca I’d rather vote for swalwell and he dropped out.

"Democrats can pull victory from the jaws of defeat by coalescing around Porter."

@ericswalwell @RyanGirdusky Everyone supports you in this decision.

I am suspending my campaign for Governor. To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.

🚨Just got a message that Swalwell is dropping out! (At least we’re done with Eric’s cringe social media videos…😂)

@Scott_Wiener Hang our colors or …else. Tracks.

The San Francisco-born small business, Philz Coffee, just lost its community values after being bought out. Now owned by private equity firm Freeman Spogli, Philz is no longer allowed to display pride flags. This sad moment highlights the critical importance of locally-rooted businesses that support and understand the communities they serve, including the LGBTQ community.

@Zigmanfreud Those are the standards he promoted so…

I’m sorry, I loathe Eric Swalwell, but you shouldn’t be allowed to destroy a man’s career with a sex abuse allegation without at least… -A lawsuit/criminal charge -Public ID -Publicly providing alleged electronic communications (unclear here) -Not having TWO very drunk “rapes”

@evanwch It’s glorious.

So basically she began a sexting relationship which then progressed to roadside blow jobs Then she got drunk and fucked him, got upset because he “distanced from her,” then panicked because she cheated on her boyfriend for a guy who didn’t care about her Then to make herself feel better she decided because she was really drunk it must’ve been “rape” even though he was also probably just as drunk Now at a politically opportune moment, when the press would be willing to air her story, because they want a progressive or because they’re worried about too many Dems splitting the vote and helping a Republican win, she decides go public and ruin him Got it

@RepSwalwell Believe all women Eric.

Hear it directly from me. These allegations are flat false. And I will fight them.

Meeting with Epstein survivors has taught me how much trauma survivors endure and how much courage it takes for them to speak up. No one in a position of power should be allowed to act above the law or with impunity. It doesn’t matter what office you hold, how wealthy you are, or which political party you align with. The same rules must apply to Eric Swalwell. There must be the appropriate law enforcement investigations and House ethics investigations. He must be held accountable. There cannot be two tiers of justice in this nation.

A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent. sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

@Pontifex Pope is a commie now.

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

@jockowillink Gavin be like why do you hate union jobs while lighting our money on fire.

Gross incompetence or theft? I’m leaning toward theft. Because this level of stupidity doesn’t even seem possible.
