Okay can we stop the nonsense about traffic cameras? They’re not about traffic safety; they’re about surveillance and revenue.
DC shouldn’t be balancing its budget through predatory traffic enforcement.
ConsumerAffairs 2025 still ranks Washington, D.C. #1 for “Worst Traffic in the U.S.”
Our Nation's Capital deserves better.
For the record, I tried mightily to kill these cameras in PA when I was in the State House - for the same reason.
My bill, the Stop DC CAMERA Act / H.R. 5525, puts an end to these predatory cameras.

Balaji is a bright guy but he fled the USA and has set his mind totally against our future success.
He lives in a world where US is losing and China is winning. This is his fixation. It’s dangerous, and it’s wrong. And this war has embarrassed China, destroyed their 100 cargo planes of war materials and their military ally, and frustrates them.
It’s fair to disagree about the attack. But saying that its architects are guilty of any downside is childlike nonsense. They should be proud of their work and their courage to take on this evil.
If you’re against the war, do you get credit for the last two decades of literal mass torture and mass rape and repression by this regime, and its terror funding and death around the region? Do you get credit for “supporting” the billions it spends on social media bots and information operations to polarize the US against ourselves, and weaken the west? Do you also get credit for what would have been the next twenty years of that?
Are you, Balaji, responsible for that side of it? No?
But if you are for it, you get zero credit for fixing any of that, but blamed for ALL the possible downsides? Total BS.
The mullahs holding the region hostage shouldn’t get your help to blame others for the damage they do.
Geopolitics and war is complex and there are risks on all sides. There is risk in acting, and in not acting.
I’m really glad we are taking advantage of the massive innovation and competence gap that exists at this moment, and finally eliminating so much evil.
I hope for freedom for the Iranian people and know that the situation is hard and complex, but either way it is good to stop the bad guys and eliminate so many of the worst groups, who have done so much damage, from history. Nobody should get away with what those bastards did for so long; this was long overdue.

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

The Democrats just decided to officially become the party of PUNCHING PUPPIES.
190 Democrats just voted to give illegal immigrants the RIGHT TO PHYSICALLY ABUSE American service dogs — serving with law enforcement protecting American citizens.
The level Democrats will go to protect illegal aliens instead of Americans is disturbing, disgusting, and dangerous.

🇲🇽🇨🇺 BREAKING: Mexico will send oil to Cuba. Trump's blockade has fallen.
60 years of embargo. 60 years of trying to starve an island.
Now Mexico breaks the siege. Oil shipments. Solidarity. Sovereignty.
The US can sanction. Can threaten. Can block.
But neighbors help. Neighbors deliver. Neighbors don't forget.
Cuba has been alone too long. Mexico just changed that.
The blockade isn't gone. But it's cracked. And cracks spread.
Mexico sends oil. The world watches. The empire fumes.
Solidarity wins. Every time.

@NydiaVelazquez So tired of our money going to war, death and destruction when we want peace, life and infrastructure...
English
Demanding $200B for an unauthorized war in Iran while families struggle to pay rent is an insult to every taxpayer.
Congress hasn't approved this, and we have no business there. We should be spending this money on the American people, not more death and destruction overseas.
Acyn@Acyn
Hegseth: As far as the $200 billion. I think that number could move. Obviously, it takes it takes money to kill bad guys.

🚨FACT CHECK: True.
I said Democrats were bitching and wasting everyone’s time because Democrats were bitching and wasting everyone’s time.

Here's what happened with Rep. Summer Lee and Chairman James Comer behind closed doors during the briefing with Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche, I'm told: Lee: "Mr. Chairman, there are no cameras here. You don't have to perform. We were told this was a briefing." Comer: "It's a briefing!" Lee: "But she hasn't offered any information...This is a hearing. This is a hearing without the cameras. This is a hearing without C-SPAN. And it's a hearing without the public. So, what I'm asking is...." Comer: "You want me to scoot some chairs around and make a circle. Would that make it feel more like a briefing?" Lee: "I would like C-SPAN. I would like you to bring the transcribers. I would like you to go through with the decorum and with the rules...." Comer: "Are you trying to find information, or trying to embarrass the attorney general?" Lee: "Absolutely not. I think the attorney general is a woman who is completely able to defend herself, and I'm not attacking her. I'm questioning you. You run this place. What I'm asking you is....Will you commit to going as far as..." Comer: "I've already issued the subpoena..." Lee: "And this is not the deposition..." Comer: "You've wasted three minutes of everyone's time just kind of, bitching..." Lee: "Really? Wow! Bitching?"

We were very proud to help defeat her.
And all your candidates tonight.

.@KatAbughazaleh just narrowly lost the #IL09 primary. This loss takes nothing away from the trailblazing campaign Kat ran that put the people at the center of every part of this race. This was still a MASSIVE loss for AIPAC, who spent over $7 million to come in 3rd place.

I just sent a letter to Leader Thune with 24 of my Republican colleagues letting him know that until they pass the SAVE America Act, we will be voting NO on any Senate bills that come to the House floor.
Republicans made a promise to the American people to secure our elections.
President Trump is counting on us.
It’s time for the Senate to deliver.

Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions.
After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.

Joe Kent testified before the Senate one year ago that Iran and its terror proxies threatened U.S. servicemembers in the Middle East. He said it would be an honor to return to the fight against terrorism, and he pledged to lead with integrity and accountability. The virulent anti-Semitism of his resignation letter makes it clear that Mr. Kent is incapable of upholding these pledges, and those who mistake its baseless and incendiary conspiracies for brave truth-telling are only fooling themselves. Isolationists and anti-Semites have no place in either party, and certainly do not deserve places of trust in our government.
