@OldeWorldOrder @VivekGRamaswamy @amyactonoh Hey dude, you do realize the only reason there is population growth in Ohio is because of the liberal city of Columbus, right? Like young people are actively leaving the state because of our dumb Republican government.

@VivekGRamaswamy @amyactonoh I just can't wrap my head around why people would vote for policies that actually make people want to LEAVE their state. People in New York are already fleeing ... why would any other state want to follow their example?

One of the best ways to learn is to teach someone else. If you are struggling to make sense of learn a particular concept, try to teach a portion of it to a novice. You will surprise yourself with the clarity that ensues.

@charliekirk11 It was a mostly peaceful shooting, carried out by a mostly peaceful thug. Each bullet he fired left a piercing sound that whispered the words, "Reparations...I didn't do nothing"

Law Enforcement: Here's multiple pictures of the not white suspect. CNN: "They know he is, a male, possibly white. He's wearing sunglasses." Gee, it's almost like they have an agenda.

🧾🇺🇸 We're Not Broke Because of Math; We're Broke Because of Corruption This week, Elon Musk declared his intent to step away from politics, citing that he's "done enough" and sees no reason to spend his money on politics. This has fired off a lot of speculation. I haven't commented on the Big Beautiful Bill until now, mostly because I think both sides are right. It's not enough. But it is also the best we're going to get for a long while. And that's the crux of the problem. The most "responsible" plan anyone can come up with still adds trillions to our debt, just at a slightly slower rate. That's the hard truth. Even with the most disruptive leader in modern history, this is where we landed. Interest rates are creeping up again. After Moody's downgrade, mortgage rates topped 7%, and 30-year Treasuries crossed 5%. In 2023, we collected just under $2.2 trillion in federal income taxes. At 5%, debt interest alone eats up 80% of that. What's left barely covers anything. And the rest of our revenue sources? Mostly payroll taxes, locked up in programs we can't touch. We are out of money. We are out of time. And still, we act like it's not a problem. I'm not saying this to sound hopeless. But we have to face the truth: this is happening because of a culture of corruption. Both parties know where the fat is. But even the ones who campaign on responsibility won't touch foreign aid, defense waste, or pet projects. They'd rather swing at Medicaid. This isn't a math problem; it's a cultural one. So that’s where my focus is going. Who benefits. Who protects them. Who looks the other way. Because we don't fix this by balancing a budget. We fix it by telling the truth: loudly and clearly, until the rot has nowhere left to hide. Al Capone didn't fall because the system held him accountable. He fell because someone followed the money. I'm going to keep doing that.

@mattyglesias Elon tried his best but he was stymied by forces beyond his control (the same political party employing him choosing to blow the debt out by trillions of dollars more). It's just a really unfortunate and unforseen situation

As the former FBI director, and key leader of the deep state, Comey’s call for assassination — while the president is abroad no less — is a chilling escalation of the war against our democracy by a faction committed to its destruction.

@xenocryptsite I used to live in Chicago, had a buddy on the other side of town. Now I live in Columbus, OH, and he lives in Cincinnati. It takes us basically the same amount of time to get to each other's houses now.

For ages, the sophisticated nihilistic view has been that shrinking the federal budget is hopeless because it is dominated by politically untouchable entitlements. The possibility those entitlements are substantially composed of politically tractable fraud and waste is exciting!

@KurtSchlichter Exactly. Years and years of being able to do something like this and no one did anything substantive. The time is now and it will get done one way or another. Americans may not understand the details, but we understand there is a deep need for radical change.

@asymmetricinfo This isn't getting any old business person in to change things. This is getting a technology genius in to change things. We like this team of tech gurus.

As always with the "get a businessman in to fix it" appointments, I think people are underestimating the differences between running a private company--even a company in a highly regulated industry, like SpaceX--and fixing the government. You can think of the latter as like running a company with a 535-member board of directors who has complete authority over your budget, and 330 million shareholders, roughly half of whom hate the CEO and will vote to fire him at the next shareholder meeting.

If you wouldn’t trust the most accomplished operator of large organizations in history to fix the biggest institution on earth, who would you trust?

@mattyglesias I’m not sure how you can show more concern for others than by founding and succeeding with the two most challenging companies on earth, both for deeply pro-human reasons. Which “lie” of his bothers you the most?
