An average bear with common sense.
Endless wars and billionaire tax cuts, or universal health care and banning billionaires buying elections? The field is set.
Practically everyone I talk to is done with toxic divisive politics. They hate both sides because both sides are failures. Yes people still hold their core beliefs but they are fed up with the drama. All people want is their government to shut the F up and make Americans lives good. Thats it. Just that.
China says it does not recognize US sanctions on Iranian oil purchases and will not comply with them.
This one here is different camera different angle. They are dead in the water. This little lady’s gonna get paid God bless her.❤️
>What radicalized you? Lots of things radicalized me. One was junior year of college, I was going to the admin building to see the job listings to try to pick up a SECOND part time job. Couldn't get in bc black and Latino activists had occupied it, demanding "grants not jobs".
Remember this the next time you find yourself in a turbulent market with bad news: 1. You are a long-term investor 2. Diversified portfolios are resilient 3. Down markets present opportunities 4. Corrections and bear markets have always given way to a recovery
Fighting is a metaphor for life itself. Everything is a fight. The creative battle every morning. The negotiation between who we are and who we are becoming. The conflict between comfort and growth. Fighting teaches us about space and time. About precision over panic. About staying grounded in the face of what is coming. It teaches us who we actually are. Fighting is our oldest inheritance. Written into us. We are all in the fight. The only question is how consciously we engage it. Enjoy the Hostilities My Friends. #MartialArts #Philosophy #NBAPlayoffs #Mindset
@charliebilello @carlquintanilla Taco comes when the SPX drops by 20% or more. Until then long inflation!
Q: Mr. President, how long are you prepared to maintain the blockade? "The blockade is genius, okay. The blockade has been 100% foolproof ... Now, they have to cry uncle. That's all they have to do. Just say 'we give up.'" - President Trump (4/29/26)
🚨THIS IS INSANE. Howard Lutnick, the U.S. Commerce Secretary, sons made 3–5x returns buying tariff refund rights. Howard Lutnick pushed tariffs, then handed his company Cantor Fitzgerald to his sons. They bought refund claims of tarrif at 20–30 cents on the dollar. Now the U.S. government is paying them at 100 cents as refunds go live. This will go down as the biggest insider trade in entire U.S. history.
Businesses in New Hampshire rely on Canadian tourism, yet the Trump Administration's actions are pushing visitors away—costing Granite Staters money. Last week, I made sure @howardlutnick knew how his childish insults are hurting my constituents. wmur.com/article/jeanne…
Here's what @MassGovernor Healey said today @bospublcradio about @MikeMinogueABMD & @ShortsleeveMA: "...the Republicans are moving forward with the 2 most extreme candidates. They are MAGA candidates, they support Donald Trump, they support Trump’s tariffs, they support what Trump has done on ICE, they support his cuts to healthcare, they support his efforts to take away abortion rights, & they support things that I think are really bad for people in MA..."...we hope to have mike minogue join us next week, brian shortsleeve soon after @gbhnews
Instead of spending $70 billion MORE on ICE, why don't we use that money to help millions of young people buy their first home?
@LydiaMoynihan Big difference… Trump was not shot and the gunman never got close enough to shoot Trump or it appears that he might not have fired a shot… cos according to DOJ “bullets disappear”
I'm voting NO on the Farm Bill. The Big Beautiful Bill kicked 126,423 people in MA off SNAP and shifted $390M in costs to our state. Congress had a chance to fix it in this Farm Bill. Republicans refused to. No deal.
