A thread and post mortem. The CR fiasco was a milquetoast win. The Republicans gave away the leverage they had because they are still afraid of the MSM. The Republicans could have passed a better bill on their own. No negotiations.

@SenSanders You're a leech on society. An envious, pathetic leech.

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

@mehdirhasan No loser, she's spot on.

She is lying. Brazenly. Israel has forced over a million people (a million!) from their homes, razed entire neighborhoods to the ground, told Christian villagers to not let Shia villagers stay in their villages, and killed multiple first-responders in double tap strikes.

@RepBeccaB He's not sitting on it. It's going towards investment in building his companies. A wealth tax is counter productive and pure theft.

Today, Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire. 
It's a ridiculous amount of money for one person to be sitting on and comes as countless Americans are struggling to afford food, housing, and health care.   We need to tax wealth – immediately.

@repdeliaramirez Spoken like a greedy socialist.

While working families are facing a crushing affordability crisis, Elon Musk became the first trillionaire. We are seeing the effects of a system that has never worked for working people. But we are clear: Working families deserve better! I will continue fighting to pass my Living Wage for All Act, my Pensions for All Act, and my Equal Tax Act. We will not stop until working families are guaranteed EVERY SINGLE THING we need to thrive.

@RoKhanna And you're wrong.

This the basic difference. Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous. Democrats believe that the federal government investing in the healthcare & education of our people will make America prosperous & productive.

@PGullivan42216 @j_fishback He's a worthless con artist.

Got my @j_fishback sign today! Going to do my part! Please do yours by voting for @j_fishback

@theblaze She's so wrong.

Ilhan Omar: "Palestinians do exist. They are a real people. They are ethnic to a land in which they belong."

@RoKhanna @BernieSanders Fuck off.

Musk is worth more than South Africa’s GDP. @BernieSanders and I proposed a 5% tax on people like him. In one year, it could fund: - free public college & trade school -$10/day childcare - Special-needs education nationwide Wealth inequality is the moral failure of our time.

@TRobinsonNewEra @Steph93065 ...but the riots.

Horrific scenes out of Burnley, England today as a 17yr old girl is stabbed in the throat in broad daylight.

@TrumpsHurricane You were never a slave, so hard no.

Democrat Rep Al Green says “We have to have reparations. If money can solve problems for everybody else, it can solve some of our problems!" What’s your response to him ??

@johnmcdonnellMP You're a fool.

Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury

@nick_matau @BrandonNot345 @OwenShroyer1776 @EYakoby Owen is an idiot and dishonest, so the line gets blurred.

🚨 HOLY SHIT I can't tell if @OwenShroyer1776 is desperately just trying to pivot here or if he actually doesn't know what an embassy is??? @EYakoby tried MULTIPLE times to explain that the IRGC kidnapped Americans from an EMBASSY and Owen Keeps saying "military barracks" lmao

BS. Murder is murder no matter the color of the culprit.

@mehdirhasan There is no Palestine.

Literally can’t watch Seinfeld anymore, once one of my fave shows. This man is a disgusting and proud racist who doesn’t support the genocide of a people but doesn’t even recognize their existence. He should be shunned from polite society, but, y’know, the ‘Palestine exception’.

@GavinNewsom Shut up. The system is set up by you and the rest of the politicians. He's successful despite government BS. Capitalism has rewarded that. He's not a no talent ass clown like you.

Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE. When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted. The system is rigged.

@SomethingUNATCO @Heminator 🤣🤣🤣

These people can vote just like you and I.

@YoureInTheKNOW @TMZ You're a little bitch punk.

@lewis_goodall That's a vague statement that simply reeks of envy. You don't say why it's a problem nor what your solution would be. Though I bet it would start with wealth and end with tax.

Musk as a trillionaire- anyone as a trillionaire- is a grotesque economic, moral and political problem. We cannot have individuals with that level of power, whatever they might have achieved.

@HunterBiden Trash defending other trash.

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis: Show us your laptop. Show us your iCloud. Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation. You won’t. You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out. That is not who we are. My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count. For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame. I no longer believe that. Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us. And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts. That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena. Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next. Life does not determine our character. It reveals it. Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next? We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day. So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop. You won’t. The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing. That is the only definition that matters.

@RobProvince Was it financed?

I literally had that exact one……
