HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:
- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%
- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)
- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds
- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)
- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility
- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium
- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains
- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules
- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years
- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years
Ooops, sorry!
That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.

@middle_class_us It costs less than $300/month for rent in Bangladesh. You are living the cheaper life.
English
“Just move somewhere cheaper” is horrible advice.
Cheaper doesn’t exist.
Everywhere “affordable” is already full of people who fled somewhere else.
You’re not bad with money.
America is bad at letting you live.

@mistakain @allenanalysis Every child born here is legal. It is the actual law.
English
@tomshea111 @allenanalysis This means every child born here broke the law by existing. Try again bucko. Everyone starts off illegal.
English
BREAKING: The Trump administration says it is closing a loophole that allowed some migrants to remain in the U.S. while awaiting green card decisions.
The phrase to focus on is:
“Returning to the original intent of the law.”
English
@mistakain @allenanalysis If you are here illegally it should disqualify you for future citizenship. If you broke our laws before even applying for citizenship why would we have confidence you wouldn't break them once you became a citizen?
English
@allenanalysis So basically, let's make it EVEN HARDER for people to become a citizen.

Not a huge fan of Candace Owens, but she did a great job interviewing Hunter Biden.
Hunter also seems like a normal dude and I think he resonates with a lot of Americans.

Hope resides in real conversations like these, finding the humanity in each other first. That’s how we cross the divide. Thank you @RealCandaceO. Candace x Hunter Biden: The Interview youtu.be/Ux1kzgQxkws?si…

@LeftyWinter Ask her why she took private jets from place to place on her no oligarchs tour last year.

Americans cannot seem to figure out that when presented with two bad choices, you simply reject both and fight for a better way!

You do all this, and your landlord still raises your rent $400 a year for no reason, losing you any money you saved living on beans and rice.

Donald Trump is running a theft operation in plain sight. Stock trades. Crypto. Pardons. Slush funds. Sick doesn't even cover it.

Life is so weird bro. People are literally working jobs they HATE. Every single day. For money. A man-made CONCEPT. We literally need money to pay to live, like what?? We have a chance at being alive, being sentient, being conscious. Yet we spend our time doing things we DON'T LIKE DOING. How does that make any sense? I can't wrap my head around it. What kind of society is this? Why can't we all just do what we want to do?

This is the problem with have with Boomers. It’s the denial.
They all grew up and took advantage of a post war economic boom. Some weren’t successful but the majority enjoyed a higher quality of life than exists for younger generations today.
And in the end all they have to show for it now is an accumulation of Air Miles and mythological tales from their past.

Boomers didn’t buy RVs that they couldn’t afford, we tented it. Boomers didn’t buy new cars, we bought used ones. Boomers didn’t spend six bucks for a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Boomers could hang all their clothes in a four foot closet. Boomers didn’t cry how tough their lives were, we fought through the tough times. Boomers have everything they have because they managed their money, didn’t squander it on frivolous things, and invested it in proven technologies and long term successful businesses. Boomers have zero fucks to give for whiners, fools, and couch potatoes.

@RepRashida @RepSaraJacobs Considering our country is so poor I cant understand why all these people keep illegaly crossing the border to come here. You would think, based on what you say, that people from here would be heading to Mexico for a better life.
English
The fact that the U.S. has one of the highest child poverty rates among wealthy nations is a political choice and a moral failure. @RepSaraJacobs and I are introducing the Ending Child Poverty Resolution because our children deserve more, and Congress must invest in their future.

my boomer mom’s house went up like $600k in value over the years.
she didn’t day trade.
didn’t build side hustles.
didn’t wake up at 5am to grind.
she just bought a house decades ago and held it.
then she sent me a video about cutting subscriptions to save money
i cancelled netflix and my rent still went up $300 sane week.

“I worked for 36 YEARS. Paid taxes EVERY year. I believed in this country.”
Now she’s outside the Social Security office, staring at a tiny $876 check in disbelief.
“After a LIFETIME of work — this is all I get. Meanwhile, billions are sent to people who never paid a dime.”

Senator, why stop at 5% or at millionaires?
75% for all assets worth $10 million.

Mr. Bezos: Let's have that debate. Under my 5% billionaires wealth tax, we'd: -Give $12K to a working family of 4 -Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing -Guarantee universal childcare -Raise starting teacher pay to $60K And you'd still be worth $269 billion after taxes.

This is something that someone who doesn’t want to pay his fair share in taxes would say.
Tax the rich.

My uncle had a heart attack.
He survived.
He wishes he hadn't seen the bill.
Ambulance: $3,200.
ER: $44,000
Surgery: $180,000.
ICU: $22,000 per day. For 4 days.
Rehab: $1,400/day.
Insurance negotiated it down to $97,000 out of pocket.
He's 65.
He'll die still paying this off.
in every other developed country, this bill is $0.
We don't have a healthcare system.
We have a hostage situation.
