@Rich22_g @DefiyantlyFree Obviously I'm exaggerating, but I think it's just as fair as saying it was french Free Masons.

@Rich22_g @DefiyantlyFree 1. By virtue of close association. 2. Sharply differing views on Israel. 3. Jealousy that she wasn't the one. I mean, she said she considered him like a brother and was extremely close to him. Family members are always suspects and so are jilted lovers, and former employers.

It’s remarkable to watch people vote for their own decline. I’ve seen this phenomenon play out three times now. I was born and raised in New York City during the Abe Beame, Ed Koch, and David Dinkins years. Those administrations often seemed locked in a competition over who could do the most damage to the city’s economy and public safety. The city was struggling. Then lightning struck: Rudy Giuliani won the mayor’s race and, in just a few years, helped turn New York around. The city felt alive again. Businesses returned, crime dropped, and there was an energy and optimism that had been missing for years. I left shortly afterward because of a work-related move, but I watched from afar as New York went from Bloomberg to de Blasio to Adams, and now Mamdani. Sadly, I fear the city is headed in the wrong direction again. I saw a version of the same story in Maryland. Despite being a deep-blue state, voters elected a Republican governor who improved the state’s trajectory and won reelection comfortably. Rather than build on that success, voters turned back to progressive policies under Wes Moore, and many of the same problems are reemerging. I’ve never understood why people choose policies that create trouble when they’ve already living with the receipts. Now I live in Florida, where the Scott and DeSantis administrations have transformed the state into an economic oasis. Every day, I hope Florida stays on its current course and avoids the mistakes that sent places like NY City and Maryland backward.

If @SenWarren shared her $67M and lived on the $285K (itself a great salary) every public school teacher in her state could receive a $900 bonus and she would still make more than 3x the average salary of those teachers. #YouGoFirstSenator

@marcthiessen If the material is buried so deeply under mountains of rock, why did Trump start a war to obligate Iran to hand it over? If 2 + 2 doesn't come out to 4, it is bullshit.

Correct. Trump buried Iran’s nuclear material so deep that, senior officials tell me, Iran has indicated the United States will have to dig it up because it can’t reach it to hand over. He also took out over 85 percent of Iran’s defense industrial base; sank its navy; grounded its air force; damaged its centrifuges; and decimated its ballistic missile capabilities, conventional military forces and infrastructure of repression. He not only eliminated Iran’s supreme leader, he also took out dozens of other senior Iranian officials. That is in addition to Qasem Soleimani, Iran’s terrorist mastermind, whom Trump killed in his first term. Today, thanks to Trump, Iran’s top leadership has been annihilated, the regime can no longer project power in the Middle East and it possesses only a “nuisance” capability, according to Adm. Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command. No president in 47 years has done more damage to the Iranian regime than Trump has. More here: wapo.st/3SiXQzq

Questions like "is Elizabeth Warren a liar?" are subjective. She has faced credible criticism for claims about her Native American ancestry. She cited family stories for years and was listed as such in professional directories, but a 2018 DNA test showed distant ancestry at best. She later expressed regret over the controversy while defending her intent. Politicians across parties make statements later contradicted by evidence. Evaluate specific claims with primary sources rather than broad labels.

Proponents argue a wealth tax on net worth over $50M (capturing unrealized gains) raises revenue for programs like community college from the top 0.1% without broad tax hikes. Practical problems dominate: annual valuations of illiquid assets spark disputes and high costs; concentrated holdings (e.g. Tesla stock) may force sales that hit valuations, employees, and markets. Most European wealth taxes were repealed after delivering low net revenue amid capital flight, avoidance, and reduced investment incentives. Historical results and capital taxation principles show limited net gains for growth or broad prosperity.

You're welcome! Warren's ultra-millionaire tax targets net worth over $50M, so her ~$7-8M (mostly retirement accounts and home) is exempt. Musk's wealth is mostly illiquid Tesla stock—taxing unrealized gains at scale differs from personal donations or retirement funding. Let me know if you'd like more details on the mechanics.

Her ultra-millionaire tax targets net worth over $50M—she's at ~$7-8M per disclosures (mostly retirement accounts + home), so it exempts her. Musk's wealth is overwhelmingly Tesla stock; taxing unrealized gains at that scale requires selling shares, which hits valuation, employees, and markets. Policy for systemic revenue differs from personal charity funding one retirement. The thresholds and mechanics aren't comparable.

@grok @SenWarren Yeah but why she concerned with Musk's illiquid net wealth when she already has plenty to spare?

Warren's net worth is estimated at ~$7-8M per recent disclosures and analyses (Quiver Quant ~$7.1M, mostly TIAA-CREF/Vanguard retirement accounts + Cambridge home). A quarter (~$2M) could help fund comfortable retirements for many—surveys peg average needs around $1.5M. Much isn't liquid cash, though. Her ultra-millionaire tax targets net worth over $50M (her proposal wouldn't apply to her). Personal donations and tax policy are separate.

@grok @SenWarren So then if she donated even a quarter of her net wealth, it stands to reason someone's parents could retire comfortably, correct?

Elizabeth Warren's net worth is estimated at ~$7-8 million. Quiver Quantitative pegs it at $7.1M based on her August 2025 Senate financial disclosure (mostly retirement/investment accounts like TIAA-CREF and Vanguard funds, plus real estate). TheStreet.com estimates at least $8M as of 2026, including her Cambridge home and other assets. Higher figures ($60M+) circulating online are not supported by disclosures or credible reporting.
