@RonWyden a dangerous, drug infested dirty city with corrupt incompetent political leaders cheered on by even more corrupt partisan hack such as yourself

A happy #503Day to everybody here in Portland. There’s lots to celebrate in our hometown with a new WNBA franchise at the Moda Center, a spectacular airport, year-round outdoors opportunities & so much more.

@Unseen_Archive @UMich you spoke the truth. evil zionists want to hide the truth
English

Yesterday I had the pleasure of addressing the graduates @UMich commencement. I spoke about the long history of student activism, which has moved the University toward justice.
Here is a video. It has caused a furore on social media & in UM admin.

@DylanRatigan Israeli control of US foreign policy and the destruction of American democracy

My understanding of the US war on Iran:
1. Strait closed - global energy costs up 40 percent +|-.
2. US bases in GCC damaged or severely damaged.
3. US munitions depleted.
4. Profits from new defense contracts directed to Presidents family.
5. US relations with Europe lowest since before WWII.
6. Nuclear material intact in Iran.
7. Israel alienated globally.
8. Adherence to US Constitution increasingly degraded - no war authorization from Congress.
Am I missing something?
What is the benefit to USA of all this?

@VietQNguyen they created noise, use local water and electricity driving up costs of local taxpayers

There's not a lot of farmland in the City of Seattle.
In Loudoun County, VA ("Data Center Alley"), data centers generate 38% of the General Fund revenue and nearly half of all property tax revenue
A data center pays $26 in taxes for every $1 of public services it consumes — vs. $4 for manufacturing plants
Virginia data centers paid $640M in state taxes and $1B in municipal taxes in 2022
A single large facility creates 45,000+ temporary construction jobs and 5,300+ permanent positions at above-average wages, generating $2.6B in annual economic activity
In Grant County, WA, $1 of every $5 in property tax comes directly from data centers

Seattle is doing everything in its power to dismantle economic growth. Laughing at millionaires on the way out. Stopping new business from coming in.
🏢 28% office vacancy — worst in the nation. Downtown CBD 36% (5X increase pre-pandemic)
📉 New business licenses down 40% vs. 2019
😬 67% of small businesses say things are worse than during COVID. Downtown worker foot traffic still stuck at 60% of pre-pandemic levels
🚪 44% of WA business execs considering leaving the state
📊 WA ranked 47th worst state for business by CEOs (down 4 spots in one year). Was a top 10 state for business a decade ago. Now it's bottom 5.
🏗️ Seattle's top skyscrapers lost $3.7B in value since 2022. Amazon's towers alone: down 60%.
🏙️ Downtown Seattle shed 13,000 jobs in 2025 — biggest single-year drop since COVID.
Now Seattle is considering a data center moratorium, crippling the mightiest growth driver for the US economy.
WHEN WILL THE IDIOCY STOP?

Starbucks sending 2,000 jobs to friendlier Tennessee will cost WA $750M in tax revenue
It will also cost Seattle & WA a role model corporate citizen active in thousands of charities and organizations
It will now make Nashville a better place to live

@EdGallrein You are a liar, a coward, and a puppet of Israeli lobby

One week, Thomas Massie is voting against Donald Trump and the America First agenda.
The next week, he’s claiming to stand with President Trump and support that same agenda.
So which is it?
You can’t run against something one day and campaign on it the next. That’s not leadership—that’s inconsistency.
Kentucky deserves clarity. Kentucky deserves a representative who stands firm, not one who shifts with the moment.
It’s time for accountability. Vote May 19th 🗳️

@GovBobFerguson You are slowly destroying the State’s economy and the once great quality of life
English

When you go to work, 2 things should happen: You should get every penny that you've earned, and your workplace should be safe. It's our mission as a state to create, maintain, and enforce the safest work environments possible.
We'll continue to do that work to honor the memory of the individuals we recently recognized at Labor & Industries' Worker Memorial Day.

@ChristineDrazan Bay Area Hospital is bankrupt due to low Medicaid payments. What is your plan?
English

Rural communities like Coos Bay are tired of being ignored and disrespected by failed leaders like Tina Kotek whose only solutions to everything are more taxes and another task force.
Grateful to all who joined us for lunch in Coos Bay this afternoon to hear my vision to bring back jobs and unleash our economy so that all families can thrive, right here in Oregon.
🗳️Make sure you vote by May 19th!

@RonWyden And Oregon Democrats are raising gas taxes, you partisan hack
English

Skyrocketing gas costs keep pounding Oregonians thanks to Donald Trump’s total failure to plan for the economic fallout here at home from his war in Iran.

The National Debt Now Exceeds the Size of the American Economy. Get ready for Democrats to clamor for higher taxes. But as Reagan said, “the problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much"
For our children and grandchildren, Republicans must lead the way, back to a Balanced Federal Budget, with fiscal discipline and reform. If we don’t, no one will.
