@WallStreetMav The top 1% pays my salary and health insurance, filled my 401k, funded my pension, gave me purpose, the bottom 20% drains it.

Maturing is realizing that we are all sIaves to the bottom 20 percent of society, far more than we are to the top 1 percent.

@EWErickson Hi I’m Erick. Look dummies, the WNBA player is right about marginal tax rates but the airline is wrong about the impact of fuel costs on its operations. I am very smart and objective.
English
Y'all, a gas price surge for a few months is not enough to put a well-managed airline out of business. The Left really hopes you are ignorant. Spirit has had a lot of problems and got blocked from a merger that would have improved their management by the Biden Admin.
English
@Timodc This is what’s so weird. People like Fetterman and tech bros like Sergei Brin are latching on to Trump when most of the country is done with him.
English
Intriguing political acumen to start white knighting for Trump and accusing his critics of derangement right when his popularity is lowest bc he started a war so dumb only someone having a stroke could be impressed by it.
The Bulwark@BulwarkOnline
Doocy: "Would you consider backing Ron DeSantis for a cabinet job?" Fetterman: "It used to not be very controversial to absolutely vote for these kinds of people just because it happens to be the opposite party, you know. Right now our entire party's been defined by TDS."
English
@whignewtons @JonahDispatch So you are saying that before CU, all those things were legal? Because I don’t remember that. Were they routinely or even frequently done? If not, I think you’re being disingenuous
English
And while I’m at it, Citizens United prevents the government from banning movies, books, and pamphlets that criticize (or support) a candidate for federal office. So all yall wanting to “overturn CU” either don’t know what the case was about or scare the hell out it me.
English
@jbarro @asymmetricinfo @garyleff I think you should respond to @tzuk. I’m sympathetic to your read of things but it seems reasonable to engage the substance here with someone who was there.
English
Everyone should read @garyleff’s history here — the key Biden DoJ error was forcing American and JetBlue to unwind their partnership; once that happened, a Spirit-JetBlue merger wasn’t going to fix either airline’s problems. viewfromthewing.com/spirit-airline…
Tom Woods@ThomasEWoods
Spirit Airlines didn't need a "federal bailout." It needed the Biden DoJ to allow its merger with JetBlue But the Biden DoJ, like most dopes on TV, thought: mergers mean bigger and bigger means bad Because they know the optimal size an airline should be
English
@robin_j_brooks I don’t understand your point. Is it just that oil prices are up? Newsflash: that’s tougher on Trump than Iran.
English
Narrative shift on the blockade
1. The US blockade won't work
2. It works, but Iran can outsmart it
3. It works, but it's slow and incremental
4. Wow, it's hitting Iran quite badly already
5. The US blockade was a good idea
6. Should've done this to Russia

@According2_Sam @IsaacHayes3 @rolandsmartin from January 20, 2025, through April 25, 2026 . Trump referred to a white person as “low IQ” in 32% of those posts, while 84% were directed at Black or Brown people. In the first 10 months of his second term, Trump never once referred to a white person as “low IQ.”
English
@Natureboy1945 @IsaacHayes3 @rolandsmartin He said it about Candace Owens in April too! The point is that he says it about white and black people, because it’s not about race. It’s about IQ.
English
After this week, this whole lesser of two evils talk from Black men about voting democrat is shut the f*** down.
Nah. Bruh. Zip it. Hillary was right. Kamala was right and you ALL were wrong.
English
@According2_Sam @IsaacHayes3 @rolandsmartin Again you’re not trying to argue in good faith and simply ignore any contrary info. I can argue Biden was responsible for making inflation worse and still argue Trump was a worse choice than Harris. You just spout talking points.
English
@According2_Sam @IsaacHayes3 @rolandsmartin Ok so you don’t argue in good faith. Ask grok what percent of incidents he has said this about were black. Btw, all those except MTG were this April. But you’re not being serious so I’ll drop out.
English
@Natureboy1945 @IsaacHayes3 @rolandsmartin Trump just said Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and MTG were low IQ two weeks ago. Are they black?
English
@According2_Sam @IsaacHayes3 @rolandsmartin @grok What’s your point? Is the economy better today than January 20, 2025 or not? Would the economy have been better under Harris? Yes. Ask the economists who have had to ratchet down growth forecasts from tariffs and now Iran
English
@Natureboy1945 @IsaacHayes3 @rolandsmartin @grok what is the current CPI and what was it at its highest point during the Biden administration?
English
@According2_Sam @IsaacHayes3 @rolandsmartin Economy is clearly worse than under Biden. GDP growth is 1.5-2%, job growth is zero, manufacturing is weaker, inflation is higher. Every low IQ person is black. Somalians and Haitians are poisoning our blood. Only white South African refugees. ICE
English
@Natureboy1945 @IsaacHayes3 @rolandsmartin Inflation went to 9% under Biden. You think the economy was good when Biden was president? I love Trump’s foreign policy! Please give me an example of his explicit racist language. I’m curious what you are referring to.
English
@According2_Sam @IsaacHayes3 @rolandsmartin So the economy, debt, foreign policy, corruption, explicit racist language are OK? Is that your single issue? If so how did it make your life better (I favor secure borders and more targeted immigration too btw). Is the way ICE is doing it worth it?

@IsaacHayes3 @rolandsmartin I voted for Obama in 2008, and I regretted it. I did NOT vote for him in 2012.
I voted for Trump 3 times after that, and I don’t regret any of them.

@realestatedude0 Explain. If this is bad will values go down? And if values go down won’t affordability rise? Also, why shouldn’t property ratable value be market?
English
Property values in CA are about to become even more unaffordable. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Tom Steyer@TomSteyer
The wealthiest property owners in California, including Donald Trump, have avoided paying taxes on what their properties are actually worth. That's cost our state $243 billion since 2012. I'm going to close that tax loophole and use the revenue to fund healthcare and schools.
English
@mattyglesias Not a gotcha but you should apply that in the reverse direction too. I’m not a supporter, but Mandami has not caused the collapse of NYC for example. Yet bloviating rich people say this stuff with no pushback. Meanwhile wonks go “maybe invading Canada won’t be so bad after all”
English
Voters are understandably angry that Trump is taking steps to push the cost of living up rather than down, but in his defense (?) the impact of the Strait closure has genuinely been much milder than most experts thought it would.

@inness_ak @ReddCinema Where’d you go to school? It must be Harvard since you know the precise GPA cutoff right?

@ReddCinema If he was black, they would take him with the GPA of 2.7 or lower

@JonLemire This is the most compelling rebuttal to the “we can’t fight discrimination with discrimination” argument. Could a new party calling itself “Whites Only” discriminate racially if that’s their party platform?

@imago_dei1016 @DKThomp @BradWilcoxIFS Umm. Are you saying that fathers did more childcare pre WW2? Ridiculous
English
@DKThomp @BradWilcoxIFS But go back further. This is just the reclamation of male presence before the industrial dissolution of the family.

New newsletter: MODERN FATHERHOOD WOULD BE UNRECOGNIZABLE TO A 1950'S DAD
Compared to their Boomer parents, childcare time among Millennial dads has more than doubled.
Compared to their Silent Generation grandparents, it’s nearly quadrupled.
You will be hard-pressed to find any part of day-to-day modern life that has changed more in the last half-century than the way today’s parents—and fathers, in particular—spend their time.
The new American dad is more present and more exhausted—but also, more satisfied with life. What's behind this half-century transformation? Today's piece combines history, economic analysis, and gorgeous charts galore from @AzizSunderji

@Azrael_Waits @chrisgrayson This. The Rwanda reconciliation is well known.
English
@chrisgrayson The Tutsis and Hutu held their own war crimes tribunals after the Rwanda Genocide and recognised the chapter as a Genocide.
English
We’ve officially reached the part of the timeline where war crimes are pitched like product features.

@PSU_Lion_commit @ashleyschendel And they are also often having to help take care of parents at the same time.

why should young people at the lowest earning level of their life and lowest net worth, most fragile job security have to carry that weight? That makes no sense. Young people are trying to manage young children, new marriages, new jobs and they should be the ones to foot the bill for infrastructure??
Why wouldnt it be the retiree with way more money and security and less on their plate?
Everyone has a gripe or a reason why it shouldn’t be them. The correct solution really is that everyone pays their fair share.
And thats the system we have. The problem is misuse of taxes and politicians who do that NEED to be held accountable but this country doesnt run for free and it never will.
English
A paid off house should actually feel paid off. When the average property tax bill is $4,427 and keeps climbing even if you didn’t sell, refinance, or magically get richer, it’s not hard to see why people feel like they never fully own the place they worked for.
