@GavinNewsom @CAgovernor @KarenBassLA Californians, think again whether you want policies that harm. Pratt is the one!

@adammocklerr It’s amazing what’s possible when you steal for your population to pay for programs like this!

It’s amazing what’s possible when your focus is helping people

@RepDonBeyer @SalimForVA Where the F..k is the racism in this instance! You guys are all messed up!

.@SalimForVA is as American as you or me, he came here as a child and overcame tremendous hardship to get where he is today. The gun reforms he sponsored to keep our communities safe are both lawful and popular with Virginians. Your racism and ignorance are an embarrassment.

@SenatorWarnock Why? Because he’s asking the questions that you won’t because of under the table Pharma kick backs?!

RFK Jr. ought to be fired immediately. And if he isn't fired, he should have the decency to resign.

@IngrahamAngle Because he might challenge the one side narrative of the GOP? Too far right isn’t healthy either, we have to meet in the middle and actually pass policy benefitting the American people.

If Massie is a “true conservative,” then why does everyone on the Left want him to win?

My son just got a job after 1.5 years of looking. We were on his case that he wasn’t doing it right and he should set his sights lower, like bus boy type work. He finally got a job, but it’s nothing that uses his degree so far and it’s definitely not brain fuel to keep him challenged.

Gen Z is right about the job hunt—it really is worse than it was for millennials, with nearly 60% of fresh-faced grads frozen out of the workforce | Emma Burleigh, Fortune Gen Z is slammed for complaining about how tough it is to work five days in-office, or even get a job in the first place—but their suspicions may be true. Research has confirmed, their older millennial critics had a far easier time locking down a gig to begin with. About 58% of students who graduated between 2024 and 2025 were still looking for their first job, according to a report from Kickresume last May. Meanwhile, just 25% of graduates in previous years—such as their millennial and Gen X predecessors—struggled to land work after college. It may be tempting to think Gen Z just isn’t as hungry for work as previous generations, like Whoopi Goldberg and Judge Judy espouse. However, the study suggests previous generations really could walk straight into a job much more easily than young people today. In fact, nearly 40% of previous graduates managed to secure full-time work in time for their graduation ceremony—but just 12% of 2024/2025 Gen Z grads could say the same, making those young job hunters three times less likely to have something lined up out of school. “The journey from classroom to career has never been straightforward,” the researchers wrote. “But it’s clear that today’s graduates are entering a job market that’s more uncertain, more digital, and arguably more demanding than ever.” Today’s young job-seekers are up against AI agents and a tightening white-collar job market—to the point where they’re handing in donuts and waitressing to try and jump-start their careers in unconventional ways. Today’s tough job market driving 4 million Gen Z into NEET status It’s no secret that landing a job in today’s labor market requires more than a fine-tuned résumé and cover letter. Employers are putting new hires through bizarre lunch tests and personality quizzes to even consider them for a role. It’s undeniably a tough job market for many white-collar workers—about 20% of job-seekers have been searching for work for at least 10 to 12 months, and around 40% of unemployed people said they didn’t land a single job interview in 2024. It’s become so bad that hunting for a role has become a nine-to-five gig for many, as the strategy has become a numbers game—with young professionals sending in as many as 1,700 applicants to no avail. And with the advent of AI, the hiring process has become an all-out tech battle between managers and applicants. Part of this issue may stem from technology whittling down the number of entry-level roles for Gen Z graduates; as chatbots and AI agents take over junior staffers’ mundane job tasks, companies need fewer staffers to meet their goals. Skyrocketing tuition costs and a bleak white-collar job market have made Gen Z’s situation so bad that 4.3 million young people are NEETs (not in education, employment, or training). And while things look tough in America, it’s become an international issue, with the number of NEETs in the U.K. rising 100,000 over the 2025 alone. The age-old promise that a college degree will funnel new graduates into full-time roles has been broken. “Universities aren’t deliberately setting students up to fail, but the system is failing to deliver on its implicit promise,” Lewis Maleh, CEO of staffing and recruitment agency Bentley Lewis, told Fortune last year. The Kickresume researchers advised young people to just get on the career ladder as soon as possible, instead of holding out for that dream job in their field of study: “We often tell graduates not to stress too much about their first job. It’s just a starting point, not a life sentence.” Young people are desperately chasing jobs with donuts and waitressing gigs While baby boomers may have chased a job by walking into an office and handing over their résumés directly to a hiring manager, Gen Z are having to get crafty to gain employers’ attention. One young Silicon Valley marketing hopeful, Lukas Yla, knew he wouldn’t get far handing over his cover letter in-person, so he hatched a plan. When he was 25, the job-seeker posed as a delivery driver, handing over boxes of donuts with a secret memo attached on the inside. The note read: “Most resumes end up in trash. Mine—in your belly,” along with his résumé and LinkedIn profile. He won over some employers, landing at least 10 interviews from the stunt. Another Gen Z job-seeker took to waitressing at a marketing conference after failing to land a job through traditional methods for six months. Basant Shenouda couldn’t find work after graduating from a top university in Germany, so she volunteered to clean up glasses at one of the most well-known marketing and sales events in the country. During her breaks, she’d float her CV by at least 30 to 40 people, asking for feedback, but hoping for an opportunity. Shortly thereafter, she landed a job at LinkedIn. “When you’re a graduate, you think everyone’s going to say yes to you and things are going [to] work out. But it’s a matter of building up resilience,” Shenouda told Fortune in 2024. “You need to keep reassessing your process so that every no gets you closer to that next yes.” fortune.com/article/gen-z-…

@WallStreetApes True. With a family of 5 to feed, I’m always caught off guard with the amount that’s in each package and realize I have to make a lot more rice!

Shrinkflation is reaching the point of just being fraud This giant looking bad of orange chicken is from Trader Joe's From the size of this bag it looks like there would be a lot in here. Well take a look at what’s on this pan… that’s the entire bag Companies keep getting away with this and I think there needs to be recourse. They should face fines so large it makes a difference in their revenue so great they won’t do it again

@OwenGregorian Good Morning and this is my kind of news!

Study Finds Coffee, Tea May Help Protect Brain Health | Indica, Indica News Drinking a couple of cups of caffeinated coffee or tea each day may do more than improve energy levels. A major long-term study in the U.S. has found that moderate caffeine intake could significantly lower the risk of dementia, especially in people under the age of 75. The research followed more than 131,000 nurses and healthcare professionals for up to 43 years, starting when participants were in their early 40s. During the study period, around 11,000 people developed dementia. Researchers found that those who regularly consumed moderate amounts of caffeinated coffee or tea were less likely to develop the condition compared to those who drank little or none. The strongest protective effect was seen in adults aged 75 and younger. Researchers found that consuming around 250mg to 300mg of caffeine per day, roughly equal to two to three cups of coffee, was linked to a 35% lower risk of dementia. However, drinking more caffeine than that did not appear to provide any extra benefit. At the beginning of the study, women reported drinking an average of about four and a half cups of coffee or tea daily, while men averaged about two and a half cups. Researchers also noted that people who drank more caffeinated coffee often smoked more, consumed more alcohol, and ate more calories, all factors associated with higher dementia risk. Scientists believe caffeine may help protect the brain in several ways. Caffeine blocks adenosine, a chemical that slows brain activity and affects important neurotransmitters such as dopamine and acetylcholine. Since these brain chemicals naturally decline with age and in conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, caffeine may help maintain their activity. Researchers also said caffeine may reduce inflammation and improve blood sugar metabolism, both of which are linked to brain health. Some studies have shown that people who regularly drank more than two cups of coffee a day throughout their lives had lower levels of amyloid plaques in the brain. These plaques are considered one of the major signs of Alzheimer’s disease. Coffee and tea also contain antioxidants and compounds that support healthy blood vessels, which may further help protect the brain as people age. The study found that tea may also offer important benefits. Drinking one to two cups of tea daily was linked to the strongest reduction in dementia risk among tea drinkers. Green tea was not studied separately, although earlier research has suggested it may also support brain health. Researchers also noticed that people who drank more decaffeinated coffee experienced faster memory decline. They believe this may not be caused by decaf itself. Instead, some participants may have switched to decaffeinated coffee because of sleep problems, high blood pressure, or heart rhythm conditions, which are already associated with cognitive decline. The study also highlighted why very high caffeine intake may not be beneficial. Scientists said too much caffeine can interfere with sleep and increase anxiety, both of which can negatively affect brain function over time. Researchers linked this idea to the Yerkes-Dodson law, a psychological principle introduced in 1908. The theory suggests that mental performance improves with stimulation only up to a certain point. Beyond that, too much stimulation, whether from stress, anxiety, or excessive caffeine, may reduce performance instead of improving it. The findings were supported by an analysis of 38 additional studies. Across those studies, people who consumed caffeine had a 6% to 16% lower risk of dementia compared to non-drinkers. The greatest benefit was generally seen in people who drank one to three cups of coffee daily. Experts also said moderate caffeine intake does not appear to increase long-term blood pressure risk and may even reduce the chances of cardiovascular disease, which shares many risk factors with dementia. However, people with severe high blood pressure are still advised to limit coffee intake. Researchers cautioned that measuring caffeine by “cups” is not always accurate because caffeine levels can vary depending on how coffee is prepared. Brewed coffee made from whole beans may contain very different caffeine amounts compared to instant coffee, while preparation methods can also affect cholesterol levels. Even small amounts of caffeine may have noticeable effects. Studies have shown that as little as 40mg to 60mg of caffeine can improve mood and alertness in middle-aged adults who do not normally consume much caffeine. Researchers said the findings suggest that when it comes to coffee and brain health, moderation may be the most important factor. indicanews.com/study-finds-co…

Apparently, everybody in the USA wants it except John Thune.

@OwenGregorian This is just insane!

Seattle considers state of emergency due to all of the 2SLGBTQIA+ refugees from Texas | Not The Bee According to Stonewall News, the Seattle LGBTQ Commission has recommended that the city declare a civil emergency. The reason? There are too many LGBTQ people in Seattle — specifically LGBTQ people from Texas. The rainbow road from Austin goes straight to Seattle it would appear. The commission sent a letter to the mayor, city council, and city mayor that read: Due to the rapid influx of 2SLGBTQIA+ persons seeking refuge in Seattle for increased safety needs, civil rights protections, and access to essential services, the Seattle LGBTQ Commission formally recommends that City leaders declare a civil emergency that ensures an effective and empathetic response to protecting these internally displaced persons (IDPs) at a time of urgent crisis for our community. Refugees overrunning your city is a problem now? Is that what I'm hearing? The biggest reason for the declaration of emergency is that the LGBTQ Commission would then have access to the city's emergency bank account for things like "gender-affirming care". Because there's no bigger emergency than city-funded sex changes. Whether or not the city declares the emergency, the LGBTQ Commission is happy they're talking about it. And Texas is happy to have that crowd gone. notthebee.com/article/seattl…

SENATOR JOHN KENNEDY: "It strikes me as breathtakingly ironic that that the people who are screaming so loudly about President Trump's decision to audit federal spending, are the very same people who wanted to hire 80,000 new IRS agents with guns to audit the American people."

I’m laughing, but he’s exposing Bass and Newsom for the cartoon characters they truly are. The simple fact is that you’d have to be out of your mind to reelect Karen Bass after what she has done to our beautiful city. She is a living nightmare.

@SenatorWarnock Great thing is that this is no longer a problem. You no longer take the back seat when you stand at the front continuing to push lies about racism in this wonderful country!

My father had to give up his bus seat. Now his son sits in a Senate seat.

@CAgovernor Um..your state has been committing fraud in Medicare payments to illegals immigrants and have pushed your $$ into a deficit! Stop talking now!

JD keeps lying about California's aggressive fight against fraud. We've walked the walk with nation-leading fraud prevention and have protected billions. Meanwhile, JD's boss is pardoning convicted fraudsters and literally stuffing his pockets with YOUR tax dollars.

@GavinNewsom You are the Jim Crow pusher man. Racist as hell is your motto. Do you even read what you f..ing type?

Democrats NEED to be talking more about the GUTTING of the Voting Rights Act. MAGA is silencing voters and carving up Black districts all across the South to hold onto power. This is Jim Crow 2.0. Silence is NOT an option.

@SpanbergerForVA Anything you say should be taken very carefully since your fraudulently leading your constituents to total obsolescence! US citizens have 0 rights when compared with the Illegal Immigrants rights under your leadership. Our children are confused from policies you encourage!

Yet another disappointing Court decision (after 3,000,000+ Virginians voted). What do we do with our outrage? We WIN in November. Volunteer, donate, vote, WIN. secure.actblue.com/donate/blu-ufv…

The Mayor of Charlotte is demanding people stop posting this reminder of the lovely innocent Iryna Zarutska butchered by a savage on Charlotte public transit. He was on probation by a liberal activist judge.

Mayor of Charlotte, NC asks that we not post about this lady murdered on a Charlotte train by a repeat offender with 14 prior arrests I say in Iryna’s memory please share and make this go viral! A repeat offender with 14 prior arrests should not be roaming the streets of ANY city! They should be locked up!! Epic failure in the justice system.. We will never forgot her ever

@GovernorVA Ill timed and pushed through with lies is why it was nullified. Supreme Count of the U.S. just declined to take on the illegal take over of the Democrats!

The Supreme Court of the United States has now joined the Supreme Court of Virginia in choosing to nullify an election and the votes of more than three million Virginians. These Virginians made their voices heard — casting their ballots in good faith to push back against a President who said he’s “entitled” to more seats in Congress before voters go to the polls. As Governor, I will make sure voters know when and how to cast their votes this year. Because our votes are how we choose the representation we deserve.

@Lily4Liberty This interview is while he’s in China. He can’t tell the truth! Have to wait for him to get home.

Not good idea! Chinese students come here today are subject to their National Intelligence Law which mandates them to cooperate/assist CCP for data & info. gathering. Many of those students belong to pro-CCP United Front Groups like Chinese Students Ass. Enough spies here.
