@jonbrooks I know someone who worked hard to get 100% disability. His claim was that he did too many push up’s and his shoulders hurt.

Spoke to an RN that approves VA disability. She says she thinks that 80% of it is fake. Veterans can come in and say they have tension headache or their back hurts, and are coached by attorneys, and they get up to 100% disability, including not paying property tax and getting $4-5k/month from the government — when in reality they’re completely fine. In fact, the RNs are paid an incentive via quotas to diagnose veterans with a disability and paid less if they don’t. I’m not saying there aren’t people who legitimately don’t have disabilities from serving our country, but folks who have never seen combat and are literally sitting at desks are getting 100% disability. It’s pretty insane. Does that make you mad? What if you could get the same disability working for a company?

@MarketPalmer_ Them are correct.

ME: Daycare is expensive, but worth it. THEM: Why would you pay to have someone else raise your kids? ME: They're not raising my kids, they're taking care of them while we work. THEM: One of you should quit your job so you aren't handing your kids off to strangers each day. ME: They're not strangers, they're professionals. And we'd have even less money if one of us stayed at home with the kids. THEM: It shouldn't be about money, it should be about bonding with your kids. ME: Kids need bonding with more than just their parents. Their daycare teachers and other kids at daycare are some of their best friends, and they're excited to go each day. THEM: You're letting them get indoctrinated by today's education system and propaganda. ME: They're literally learning colors, the ABCs, and how to count to 10. THEM: Some parents just don't want to be parents! ME: *stops arguing with a wall*

@JohnnyAGI That’s from Biden and his 25% inflation. Trump inflation is under 3%.

A pair of Ribeyes at 1.80/lbs used to be a solid ~ $27 for me. Now $38 America, are we in the golden age yet? Are we winning? Trump I hate you.

@ReichlinMelnick You can’t read. She said government assistance, not federal assistance. Second, dollars are fungible. Meaning, states give immigrants cash because they receive federal dollars to fund other programs states would normally fund with that cash. Fed enables it.

This is a falsehood. Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for federal assistance. Virtually all are working hard; often extremely hard, 80+ hours a week, and face exploitation from unscrupulous employers. Many *literally* build this country; 50% of Texas construction workers!

@Tekeee Get a roommate so you pay $825 in rent. All your other bills also get cut in half. Next question?

Explain to me how im supposed to pay; $1,650 rent $270 power $100 water $260 internet $120 car insurance EVERY MONTH while making less than $20 an hour???

@Needle_of_Arya Try having the public schools not suck at what they do?

Governor Abbott drained an entire billion dollars from the state's public school system for this. 😒

@greggnunziata No, but it may stop the debt from growing as fast as it is.

The biggest fraud of all is the claim that eliminating fraud will balance the federal budget.

@Rep_Magaziner @RepMaxineWaters That is a state issue, not a federal issue. Why are you engaging in unconstitutional activity?

No student with the grades, work ethic, and desire to go to college should be denied just because their families don’t have enough money. Along with @RepMaxineWaters I am leading 141 House members calling to double the size of the Pell Grant.

@WallStreetApes Bad decisions cause this. Get a used car, get a roommate, eat at home, move back home, do whatever it takes. Don’t cry about the situation, deal with it. Do something!

Young Americans are having mental breakdowns realizing the cost of rent, gas and life means they’ll never be able to afford anything They are breaking down knowing that no matter how much they work, it all just goes to monthly bills they still cant afford This is unsustainable

@GasBuddyGuy I just filled up in Texas last night. $3.64 per gallon before my Kroger discount. I actually paid $2.74 per gallon.

that's way wrong, but let's see you explain this: Minnesota $3.58/gal Alaska $4.61/gal

@RoKhanna None of those things are the responsibility of the federal government, national security is however.

Trump wants billions more for war. I want it for Americans. $400B a year gets us: free college, $10/day childcare,1,000 new trade schools, $60k starting teacher pay, $3,000 checks, & $50k down payment help. Trump’s America Last vs. my Economic Patriotism yahoo.com/news/articles/…

@Heccles94 Yo, there wouldn’t be any jobs to cut if they didn’t create them first. Think man, think.

Musk sacked 80% of staff when he bought twitter Bezos is sacking 14,000 people to replace with AI Microsoft are cutting 4.1% of jobs (9,100) to replace with AI Intel are cutting up to 25% of staff to replace with AI What's that about billionaires creating jobs?

@RepPettersen Don’t elect people like this who make up wedge issues that are false. It is not the constitutional responsibility of the federal government to help with child care, food security or most of the nonsense that comes out of these people’s mouths . National security is.

Hegseth wasted $15M on ribeye steaks, $7M on lobster, and $98K on a grand piano — while Trump spent $400M on a ballroom, millions on private jets, and profited over $1.4B off the presidency. All while saying they don’t have enough money for your healthcare, child care or really anything for you.

@Heccles94 Unions used to serve a purpose, now they just inflate costs.

Tesla doesn't recongise Trade Unions. Apple doesn't recognise unions. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. These mega businesses are not on your side.

@ZacksJerryRig Remember when Amazon added a 5% surcharge for fuel charges when Biden was in office? I do.

Amazon is charging all sellers an additional 3.5% fuel and logistics charge starting on April 17th. Guess who these fees are passed onto? Donald Trumps Epstein War is making *everything* more expensive.

@D162Michele Subways are a state issue, not Federal.

America, you’re telling me you can send four guys flawlessly to the moon and back, but your public transportation infrastructure looks like this?

@phresh_arrow Because most people can't work remote in another country due to security and compliance rules.

You could literally: - Move to a country where rent is $200 - Work a remote US job - Save $6,000/month Why aren't people doing this?!

@marc_palasciano @Jerrell2kb LOL, its the law, not a talking point. Gas taxes to to roads and education in Texas.

@Jerrell2kb lol - you got the government talking points down

I pay $200 a year to not worry about gas prices, my electricity rate is locked in. But when I bought my Tesla, I didn’t have this $200 tax. Texas implemented this $200 tax AFTER they gave Elon billions in tax breaks. The Texas Government is one of the worst in America.

@marc_palasciano Texas gas taxes are, by law, used for roads and education. EV get to "pay their fair share" through this tax. They use the roads and education, right?

@jmontforttx stats like that only matter if you compare it to crime rates and included things like repeat offender rates, time in prison, etc.

Texas has the most prisoners of any state, nearing 150K. -We rank #6 with our imprisonment rate at 452/100K. -We rank #8 in Black/ White incarceration rate at 3.5/1. sentencingproject.org/research/us-cr…
