@IvyFutures I think both Cubs and Nico won - exc player who wanted to be a Cub and Cubs stepped up - loving where you're at > getting the last $

If I was Nico Hoerner’s agent I’d have been pushing for Dansby (7/$177m), Adames (7/$182m), and Semien (7/$175m) contracts in FA and positioning him as a SS as well as an elite 2B.
To not have to go to that 7th year and to come in with an AAV around $22.5m is a win.

Chase Watkins produced some of the best results in the Cubs farm system last year and I hope he kills it this season!

@jimiuorio they could make SocSec a choice - give people their contributions back and let them opt out of the system and the right to receive future benefits

Wow..the “they dont need it. so let’s take it?” Is disturbing…it’s their money….im not in the business of taking people’s asset because I determine that I could put them to better use…

Almost 300,000 seniors hold over $30 million in wealth. Do they really need $100,000 a year in Social Security benefits too?

A new @latimes and @BerkeleyIGS poll shows a majority of California voters favor a "billionaire tax," while there is an even split on voter ID. If the "tax" (really a property seizure) passes, and voter ID fails, then California may be truly beyond repair. latimes.com/california/sto…

🚨 JUST IN: Lisa Murkowski has just submitted an AMENDMENT to the SAVE America Act, EXEMPTING people born before 1961 from having to prove their citizenship
If you can't be bothered to prove you're a citizen, you have no business voting to begin with.
Stop nitpicking and pass the freaking bill.

Can someone explain the Prime thing to me like I’m 5 years old?

The primary cause of the national debt is that the very wealthy don’t pay taxes. Migrants pay their share. The oligarchs Miller fronts for do not.

Stephen Miller: "If all of this theft were stopped, it would be enough to balance the budget. The extraction of wealth from American taxpayers to people who don't belong here is the primary cause of the national debt."

@Rossputin @JDVance Stephen Moore - noted economist - had a great posting on X today listing a ton of things we need to show an ID for - you should review it and perhaps read it on your show tomorrow- maybe have him on as a guest
English
@Rossputin @JDVance I appreciate your reply and find I agree with you on most issues. The serious question in my mind is why not require positive ID to vote? We certainly require ID for everything else - I had to show one today to cash a small check at the bank I've been using for years.
English
So the other day, @jdvance was pushing for the SAVE Act and said "they tell us that non-citizens voting is very rare but let me tell you about this one guy" (who voted in multiple elections over the years. Did he think that somehow telling us about ONE GUY (and I'm sure there's even more than ONE) somehow disproves the idea that non-citizen voting (in federal elections) is very rare?

A woman on a plane chose to voluntarily switch seats after someone nearby complained about a service dog. Instead of escalating the situation, she handled it calmly and helped ease the tension.
Sometimes, small acts of understanding can make a stressful situation much smoother for everyone involved.
Do you think you would’ve offered to switch seats in that situation, or stayed where you were?
