Hi sir
We're offering Universal Healthcare & free college for your kids, for the low low price of only 1% more in Federal taxes.
It will easily pay for itself just by no longer having an insurance deductible
Republicans: Get out of here with your socialist commie BS, Libtard!
English
@SteveDedalus21 @cszabla Or you can use that voucher toward a triumphant arch. Right.
English
he did it
he really did it
he reopened the canal after whatever it was that caused it to be closed in the first place
English
@SteveDedalus21 @cszabla These are your two choices, yes.
English
@cszabla Can’t express how much I’d rather have my tax dollars pay for this than trans migrants to get vouchers for free massages

@IanCopeland5 Also, refuse all medicine from Big Bad Pharma.

I said this during the pandemic and there were tears.
If you don't trust medicine cool!!!
We accept that.
But when your oxygen level drops below 85% and you start turning blue, keep that same energy.
Why go to the hospital, they are trying to kill you remember?
Jamie Bonkiewicz@JamieBonkiewicz
I don’t understand anti-vaxxers who go to the hospital. Do you believe in medicine or not?

@flanagancol Mebbe. But Atlanta, Dallas, Orlando, DC, Cincy are lower circles.
English
Exiting Columbus, OH at 5pm on a Friday has to be one of the circles of hell

@SherrodBrown Don’t forget the unicorns that poop delicious strawberry sherbet.

Ohio deserves a leader who takes on the rigged system. That’s why I’m fighting to:
✅Ban stock trading by members of Congress
✅Cap rate increases on your utility bills
✅Lower health care costs for all Ohioans

This sounds absurd until you understand that Ken Griffin paid $238 million for this penthouse that he doesn’t live in, which means he paid a 2.2% tax.
This tax is applied to all home purchases over $1 million in NYC.
Rob Schmitt@SchmittNYC
Ken Griffin paid a 5.3-million dollar mansion tax for the privilege of buying his home. Mamdani says that’s unfair… because it’s not enough. Truly amazing.
English
The LIE that “you too”, someday, can achieve that wealth by working hard enough…
Paddy@SAFCPaddy
I will never understand why working class people fight tooth and nail to defend billionaires
English
@Alonso_GD You should probably pay your workers more, then.
English
They are not economically illiterate, their salaries are too low and their expenses are too high and no one has bothered to do anything about it for 50 years
Tom McPhail@PensionsMonkey
How is it 65% of our population are so economically illiterate?
English
@HistoryBoomer Are you willing to relocate? I’ve got two kids at Ohio State. Let’s talk.

I will take $400,000 to teach why capitalism and free speech are good, and Mao and Reese's are evil.
The Harvard Crimson@thecrimson
SCOOP: Harvard is quietly asking donors for $10 million gifts to establish endowed professorships in a bid to reshape faculty under the banner of “viewpoint diversity,” according to two people familiar. @HugoChiassonn and @EliseSpenner report. thecrimson.com/article/2026/4…

They don’t pay rent
They don’t pay executive salaries
They don’t pay taxes
You don’t pay taxes on purchases
You have guaranteed access
Prices are at cost so when price on the farm goes down the instore price falls at the same rate, unlike in privately owned stores
🏳️🌈Mar G-O 🌐🇺🇦@MariGO2thepolls
I still don’t understand d the case for public grocery stores tbh
English
@greendragonhq These statements are both true, but not in the way you think, making your conclusion completely wrong. Many such cases.
English
Taxing a billionaire 50% more makes no material difference in their lives.
Taxing a billionaire 50% more makes every difference in the world for working-class people.
That’s why we should tax the rich!

@DrNeilStone I personally know people who got the flu jab 20 years ago and now they’re dead.

💥SHOCKING revelation that mRNA vaccines biologically AGE recipients by 12 months for every year after they got the jab!

@AliceFromQueens Bad take. I love my semi-annual spa days for my teeth.

@HistoryBoomer “Mankind has finally gone too far. This new technology will eliminate most jobs and, in the end, perhaps kill us all.” — my great-great grandpappy, seeing his first tractor.

Get rid of plows and tractors and farm with your fingers the way God intended.
Chris Hohnholz@Chris_Hohnholz
I got a better idea, let’s pull the plug on AI. Kill the data centers and put people back to work as God designed and purposed.
English
@HistoryBoomer I have a robot that does nothing but make toast for me quickly and easily. Another that automatically washes my dishes! Many such cases, all made in factories.
English
I’m not saying Elon’s idea would automatically work, but at no time, throughout all of recorded history, have we had robot factories.
We already work fewer hours and receive far more stuff than people fifty years ago.
Technology changes. 2026 is not 1126 or even 1976.
BlackRoomSec@blackroomsec
There is no such thing as a free lunch. At no time, throughout all of recorded history, has there been any society, government, collective, which paid its citizens to do nothing yet reap some sort of reward for it. And in all cases where wealth was redistributed to such extremes as described here those societies utterly failed. Or, if they survived they became complete totalitarian dictatorships. In every case.

$20 billion would end homelessness in the US according to the HUD estimate.
But Trump is going to give $20 billion to Iran to buy his way out of the war he started.

Scoop: U.S. considers $20 billion cash-for-uranium deal with Iran as peace talks progress Whether Iran takes the offer is another matter. We might find out in Islamabad this weekend @BarakRavid w/an assist from me axios.com/2026/04/17/ira…
