@4TaxFairness It’s multi prong approach. Get ride of waste and fraud. With a budget of trillions each year and interest taking a $1T of it this all matters. Tax code is broke, spending is unchecked and politicians don’t actually care.

BREAKING: America's 935 billionaires have announced they'll give away a percentage of their collective wealth to end homelessness and hunger, and make healthcare free for all.
April Fool's—they're never gonna do that.
We could do that if we taxed them, though.
Just a thought.
English
@SenSanders Ok what should the tax code look like? Remember the Trump-Hilary debate when he called out the tax code, won the election and then everyone ignored it? Change the tax code.
English
We can no longer tolerate a rigged tax code that enables billionaires to pay a lower effective tax rate than the average worker & corporations like Tesla & Palantir to pay ZERO in federal income taxes while making billions in profits.
Yes. The wealthy must pay their fair share.

@islantstudio She isn’t really angry. It’s an act, to keep her base happy and voting for her.

Why is Elizabeth Warren always so angry?

Massive reality check. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani completely dismantles the right wing myth of capital flight. He proves that taxing millionaires to fund working class programs actually works, exposing the establishment's fearmongering as total lies.

@theobjectivist The problem could be the tax codes and other structures that allow such accumulation.

Bernie thinks this is "fair" because he starts from the premise that your wealth belongs to the collective and you are permitted to keep what it decides you don't need. "You'd still have $2.5 billion" is not an argument for fairness. It is a looter calculating how much he can take before the victim fights back.
Fairness is not determined by how much the victim has left. It is determined by whether the taking was justified. A man who robs you of $100 and leaves you $1,000 has not been "fair." He is still a thief.
Rights are not proportional to net worth. They are absolute.

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you. If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment. Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

We’ve owned our home for almost 3 years.
We’ve paid $58,500 in mortgage payments and yet our loan balance has only gone down by $14,600.
This means the other $43,900 went to interest, taxes, and insurance.
Lesson: Owning a home costs WAY more than just the purchase price.

Bureaucracy run amok.

@BOSSportsGordo It’s a net zero act. You either back out to leave or back in to park. Just depends on how you think, many think when time to go just go quicker

@UziCryptoo Most people aren’t earning the amount to max social security. But your logic is correct.
English
The max one can pay into social security per year is $10,453.20.
If you did that every year from age 18 until retirement, the max you’ll get from SS is $4,873 /month.
If you put it into an S&P index fund instead, you would receive $32,583 per month.
Social Security is a scam.

74% of Americans now say the government isn’t doing enough to regulate AI.
They’re right.
That’s why I introduced a moratorium bill - to give us time to address the risks and to ensure that this technology works for all of us, not just the billionaires who own it.

@ButchRahman @kaitlancollins @ksadjadpour They have always had this, and that is a bigger reason to prevent it.
English
@sacgenius @kaitlancollins @ksadjadpour To the contrary. If this is true, they now control the passage of immense wealth through the Straight. They've never been more powerful.
English
"If all we get, all the president gets from this very costly war is that the Strait of Hormuz has been reopened, I think that's going to be viewed as a major strategic failure," @ksadjadpour says.
English
@AndrewYang It’s confusing. We see a MIT report that AI hasn’t added efficiencies. A large bank firm says it’s not meeting goals. So it’s tough for many to understand more than what’s in front of them. I worry in 10yrs unemployment will be too high and Congress worries about wrong things.

Had dinner with an investor who said this: “I thought you were wrong about AI and jobs. But I’m on the Board of a bunch of companies and every one of them is now cutting staff due to AI. So now I think you’re right.”

The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act would generate over $6 trillion over the next decade—without raising taxes on 99.85% of American households.
This wealth tax for millionaires and billionaires could pay for universal child care, free community college, Medicare expansion, and more.

@RedWavePress Easy to say when she doesn’t have a child in sports. Maybe she doesn’t care and thinks there should be no separation of men/woman and just have one.

MUST WATCH: Marie Harf: “Wait, why are we so scared of tr*ns people?”
Kayleigh McEnany: “We’re scared of biological men competing against women. Pummeling young women.”
“Do you want a biological man wrestling a woman? Do you want a biological man spiking a ball at a woman?”
Marie Harf: “Honestly, I don’t care.”
Panel: “WOW!”
Marie Harf: “I genuinely don’t care.”

@joni_askola Well that’s because nobody in congress wanted to actually do anything.

Elon Musk promised absolute miracles with DOGE if Donald Trump won the election.
None of it came true.
The public debt is higher than ever and still climbing.
Keep that in mind the next time he tries to tell you how to vote

@mcuban @BernieSanders I wonder if Berne will even acknowledge. It would be leadership if he put a commission together with true experts and not lobbyists and really try to solve the key problems. Both a tactical approach and then strategic.
English
Hey @BernieSanders, look up who owns HealthFirst, the insurer that cut off her insurance for a nickel and explain to us all why you are not actively supporting the Break Up Big Medicine Bill ?
Why am I calling you out first ? Because you know how HC works and there is zero route to single payer , or for those opposed to single payer, an efficient HC market, until they biggest insurance companies are required to divest non insurance assets

Conspiracy fun. China rolls out humanoid robots en masse in the world. 100s of millions. Then, when ready flip switch a they become soldiers owning the world through an uprising run through Beijing operations center. Brilliant.
I mean there must be a movie about this ;).
Milk Road AI@MilkRoadAI
China flipped a switch last Sunday and nothing will be the same. A factory in Foshan, China opened its doors and inside, robots are building robots. One completed humanoid every 30 minutes and ten thousand humanoid robots per year from a single production line. The line runs through 24 precision assembly stages and passes every unit through 77 separate inspection procedures before it ships. China already accounted for over 80% of global humanoid robot installations in 2025 and it holds five times more humanoid robot patents than the United States. The country now has more than 150 humanoid robot companies, growing at over 50% annually and analysts project 50,000 to 100,000 humanoid robots shipped this year alone. One company has already announced plans for a super factory with annual capacity of 500,000 humanoid robots. While Tesla's Optimus is still largely in prototype phases, Chinese firms are delivering units to EV factories where humanoid robots are completing 90% of a human worker's tasks in a three hour shift. Morgan Stanley projects the global humanoid robot market hits $5 trillion by 2050 and China intends to own more than half of it. The geopolitical dimension is even more significant than the economic one. Chinese companies already supply 63% of global humanoid robot components, the actuators, sensors, and joints that every robot maker on earth depends on. The Hudson Institute is now calling for emergency export controls on ball screws and sensors before China eliminates its remaining dependencies on Western parts. That window may already be closing.
