@LeaderJohnThune @TaxCuts Get out!

Republicans know that any path to economic strength runs through small businesses. That’s why they were a key focus of the tax relief we delivered in the Working Families @TaxCuts last year.

@EricLDaugh So sad

🚨 JUST IN: Senate Leader John Thune says he's NOT nuking the filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act, he just "can't get the votes" "We don't have the votes to get rid of the filibuster." Be a leader and GO GET THE DAMN VOTES. Name names! Start FIGHTING, stop letting the bill die, Thune! "We'll look to get other votes [on SAVE]...we're continuing to look for opportunities to advance that legislation. It's something I support." "The American people broadly support it."

@DerrickEvans4WV I’m so sorry for whomever was working nonstop and spent 100+ on a meal that got destroyed like this, and went hungry. Yes not having the free time to go lunch is as dystopian as these lunatics destroying property.

People are getting fed up with the potential AI takeover. There’s a new trend where people are pushing the robots over as a way to fight back. What do you all think about this?

@KatTimpf 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

My seemingly healthy, strong father Daniel “Dad Timpf” Timpf died very unexpectedly on the evening of May 7 at just 69 years old.   It does not seem like enough to simply call him my father, because he was so much more than that. He was my rock, my hero and my best friend. He was loyal, funny, kind, selfless, hard-working, and so devoted to his children that it was impossible to be near him and not find yourself inspired. He was a writer, a painter, a sailor, and somehow knowledgeable on every subject from world history to literature to accounting. He was the most dependable person anyone has ever met. I always felt like, as long as I had his phone number, there was not a problem I could not solve. I needed him here with me; I am not okay, and I am far from the only person who feels this.   The birth of my son in February 2025, his first grandchild, was supposed to be a happy new beginning for our family. A family that had been already once devastated by an untimely loss: the loss of my mother Anne Marie to a rare disease in 2014 just a matter of weeks after her diagnosis.   The joy of my son’s birth was, of course, complicated by my also very unexpected breast cancer diagnosis just a matter of hours before going into labor with him. During this time, my dad did what he did best, which was to save the day. As soon as he heard about my diagnosis, he simply got into the car and started driving to New York -- making it through the tunnel just as my  son was born…on the day that happened to be his own birthday, as well.   In the tumultuous time of a simultaneous new cancer diagnosis and new baby, my dad was the sole reason for our stability, rushing in to help care for our son, and returning to do so again for my double mastectomy, reconstructive surgery, and any time that we ever needed him. It was an awful, awful year… but I found so much joy and hope throughout it by watching the beauty of a very special relationship form between my son and my father. This horrible thing that was happening was creating such a very special bond between the two of them -- almost making the terrible thing worth it -- and I was so excited to see how that bond would grow.   The bond was of top priority for my father, who visited from Michigan often. I saw him last on the Monday before he died, and my son was so proud to help his grandfather push his suitcase down to the car as he left. The goodbyes were quick. Why wouldn’t they be? We would all see each other again at the beginning of June, when we would all head to Texas for my shows and to see my grandpa. We wanted to make sure that my son could spend as much time as he could with his great-grandfather. He is, after all, 93.   I was certainly not over the trauma of my cancer or having to amputate the breasts I so badly wanted to feed my son with, but the one thing I could always count on to get me through my worst moments was seeing my son’s and my father’s faces light up when they saw each other, be it during the visits or our routine morning and bedtime FaceTime calls.   That is, at least, until I had to hear over the phone from a doctor I had never met in an emergency room in the same town up north that I’d previously announced to my father that I was pregnant that my dad was dead; I would never see him again, and neither would my son. It would turn out that last year was not the hard one, after all. Rather, it was the one I would now do anything to relive. I would amputate my breasts every year just to be able to speak with him one more time, even for five minutes.   I am currently living an unimaginable horror. For many people, this is a tragic story. For me, it’s my life. I do not know how I will recover from it. I only know that I have to for the sake of what is left of my family.

@joeroganhq Says someone who earns millions while spitting out opinions from a chair under chilly AC. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ben Shapiro: "No one in the United States should be retiring at 65 years old. Frankly, I think retirement itself is a stupid idea unless you have some sort of health problem."

@maga_alina47 Yes. Beautiful mommy. Very bright woman. Amazing press sec!

Do you believe Karoline Leavitt’s photo is suitable for someone serving as White House Press Secretary?

There is a MASSIVE disconnect between the wealthy and the working class... And it continues to get worse every month. How does this end?

@DefiantLs How did King Charles put Trump in place exactly? Lol. What a pantomime!

Rod Stewart congratulates King Charles for putting "ratbag" Trump "in his place

@BreitbartNews Why are you sharing this guy?!

Mike Pence: "I think Republicans ought to do a lot of soul-searching" before 2028 "I think Republicans face a new time of choosing — whether we're going to stay on the path of the traditional conservative principles that have always defined our party for the last half century, or whether we're going to follow the siren song of populism" "We've always been a party committed to low taxes, including low tariffs and free trade. Now, as we witnessed, the president imposed unilateral tariffs on friend and foe alike until the Supreme Court stepped in and used the Constitution to turn him back." "I know Donald Trump better than his most ardent defenders know him. Okay? And he is not ideological. In fact, he often bristled when I would refer to policies as conservative. He would, with a wave of a hand, say to me, 'That's just common sense.' But now, as you see the stops and starts on our support for Ukraine under this administration, nationalizing American businesses, unilateral tariffs, price controls on everything from pharmaceuticals to credit cards, all of this should should create a backdrop for a very healthy debate over whether we're going to stay moving in the direction, on these issues, that President Trump has led our party, or whether we're going to re-ground ourselves back to those timeless conservative principles, I think, that have always made not only our party successful but, more importantly, have made America strong and prosperous and free."

@stelzner_n1150 Financial and work pressures. Women were oversold feminism.

Why didn’t Millennials have kids?

@Box_of_Joe @open_army_japan @stelzner_n1150 Well, i think it depends on the city. Miami is wildly overvalued.

@lamerceditamia @open_army_japan @stelzner_n1150 What’ll be interesting to see is how far prices/rates will have to fall before all of the impatient people who have been waiting for prices/rates blink and start a feeding frenzy. I don’t think it’ll take much.

The housing crash is going to be epic.

@heresyfinancial It will get worse, because stubborn sellers haven’t yet reduced prices significantly.

Usually the best time to buy something is when everyone else wants to sell

People are simply waiting for worthy properties to be accessible, and that won’t happen until prices significantly drop. It won’t be named a crash only because it will happen over a long period, but prices will drop in crash-style over a long time. Until we reach equilibrium and it is safe to buy.

The 2008 housing market crash was a once in a lifetime crash. The second largest price correction on record is the correction we are in right now! It's just only showing up in new construction prices (graph below) because existing homeowners don't want to sell. If you are waiting for the next 2008-like crash in national home prices to buy a home, you are deciding to be a life-long renter (not that there's anything wrong with that.)

@open_army_japan @Box_of_Joe @stelzner_n1150 It won’t happen overnight, but the end result yes, it will be a very significant reduction of prices. It’s not technically a crash only because it will happen over a long period of time, yes because banks are not involved right now and no one wants to lose. Humans are stubborn.

@Box_of_Joe @stelzner_n1150 What I’m saying is that it’s not going to be ‘an epic housing crash.’ I’m saying prices will simply move back toward fair value. And there are buyers at those levels.

@Box_of_Joe @open_army_japan @stelzner_n1150 It’s a bubble. So many are stuck in 08, looking at banks, while blissfully ignoring Economics 101: Supply & Demand and What the Equilibrium is.

@open_army_japan @stelzner_n1150 The price of the assets of the market incumbents has been over-inflated to the point that the entrants can’t get in. They’ve got valuable assets, but nobody to sell them to.

@open_army_japan @stelzner_n1150 The banks are not the only culprits of a crash. Demand and supply not remotely meeting can provoke a significant downturn in prices.

@stelzner_n1150 You do realize this is nothing like 2008, right? There’s no subprime crisis, no over‑lending, no credit meltdown.

@stelzner_n1150 It will be stretched over a long time. Prices will drop significantly, but it will seem more subtle bcs the change won’t happen overnight.

@thebarcop @EricSpracklen Not in Miami, but the realtors here still try to use that old and cheap line.

@EricSpracklen Why does every house I see have a multiple offer situation???

And it has NOTHING to do with the mortgage rates. It’s because home values have been artificially inflated 30-50% across the board and new buyers are finally refusing to keep overpaying. Anyone that bought in the last few years is going to get crushed. The crash is coming.

@joesugg @EricSpracklen I agree. And I think that there’s a long long way to the equilibrium. It will go down significantly, but much more slowly, not in a crash way.

I’m not sure it has nothing to do with rates… it’s a combination of mortgage and tax rates, real wages, and purchase price all together impact supply and demand. If there aren’t enough people that can afford the payment for the number of properties on the market then the demand is going to go down until interest rates adjust lower, prices adjust lower, or income for enough people go higher that demand goes up.

@DecidedlyAngry @EricSpracklen It is a bubble, and I agree with you that it will slowly disintegrate. The prices will significantly drop though, a lot. But it will take lots of time.

@EricSpracklen People just want to bitch. Everyone complained that nobody was selling after the bubble. Bubbles take time to correct. Now people are trying to sell. Eventually they'll start dropping prices. This is how it works, and is the only way to correct a bubble short of an implosion.
