@tomselliott Since when did politicians know how to pay bills? They only know how to borrow money.

How about if you haven’t figured out how to pay your bills by age 30 you’re automatically DQ’ed from public office?

“Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, 37, has a single checking account that holds up to $50,000—and he shares it with his mother, a frequent contributor to his political campaigns who pitched in to cover Talarico’s moving expenses when he was 32, records show,” @peterjhasson - freebeacon.com/democrats/texa…

@ABC AOC said in 2019 that we only had 12 years left. Over halfway now. This is exciting!

The scientists have been right about climate change all along, says former Vice President Al Gore on the 20th anniversary of the release of "An Inconvenient Truth," the Oscar-winning documentary about Gore's campaign to educate people about climate change.

@MatrixMysteries The S in SNAP stands for Supplemental. SNAP aka Food Stamps were never intended to provide all of your food budget.

“What am I supposed to buy now—just basics? None of the snacks i want go through on EBT.”
“I’m at checkout and it’s declining… now I have to pay out of pocket for my OWN groceries?”
The level of fraud and waste that went unnoticed for years is shocking.

@CaptMarkKelly Start by lowering the salary of Congress from $174,000 to $50,000. Then cut your staff by 3/4. Put your money where your mouth is.

The rules of our economy are written by people who benefit from them. When CEOs make hundreds of times what their workers do and still get a tax cut, that's the result of decades of policy decisions that tilted the playing field. I'm here to fix it.

@CalltoActivism Balancing the budget is required in Illinois.
Article VIII, Section 2 of the Illinois Constitution states:
The Governor must submit a State budget where “Proposed expenditures shall not exceed funds estimated to be available for the fiscal year as shown in the budget.
English
🚨DEMOCRATS DELIVER BIG RESULTS:
Illinois Governor Pritzker has just BALANCED the budget for the EIGHT consecutive time in his state.
It prioritizes affordability for working families without raising taxes on working people.
That includes $400 payments to Illinois families kicked off of SNAP by the Trump administration.
This is EXACTLY how Democrats should lead - in a way that centers the working class as the federal government strips resources and funding from states. This is HUGE.

@AnnCoulter Elections have consequences. Congratulations Virginia.

So much for the sacred counting of the electoral votes. The constitution says we decide presidential elections by electoral votes of each state. This has to be unconstitutional.

JUST IN: Governor Abigail Spanberger officially signs a bill handing over Virginia’s 13 electoral votes to whoever wins the most votes across the whole country… even if Virginians vote the other way. Insane. They rushed it through with mostly Democrat votes. The plan has 222 votes. It needs 270 to actually start working. Once it does, your vote in Virginia doesn’t matter anymore. The Founders made the Electoral College so a few big cities don’t boss the whole country. This is a sneaky Democrat power grab to cheat that. “Every vote counts the same”? Lies. Virginians are pissed off, and they should be. They got played.

@christopherrufo How gay do they have to be and how does one prove they are gay enough?

SCOOP: California is pressuring public utilities to award $633 million in special contracts to "LGBT-owned" firms. To qualify, residents must go through the state's official gay-certification program—and face up to a year in jail if they're not gay enough.

@BarackObama @MichelleObama @ObamaFoundation Are you going to pay the contractors and subcontractors that are owed money? Inquiring minds want to know.

Chicago, it’s good to be home!
Michelle and I built the Obama Presidential Center to be a place where people of all ages can learn, play, and work – and we can't wait to welcome you all later this week!

@SethDillon Just like they stated that their nuclear program was only for peaceful purposes.

This time they really mean it, though.

JUST IN: Trump announces Iran has agreed to never have a nuclear weapon.

@BarbMcQuade Did you comment that it was obscene when Joe Biden had the topless trans at the White House?

@yogeshtwet World War 2 ended with one side unconditionally surrendering to the other side. That was the negotiation. Surrender or suffer. Let’s not sugar coat it. I for one am sick of winning the wars and losing the peace.

@marklevinshow Trump is letting us down. We should not sign any deal with the mullahs in Iran. They have no intention of following the terms. We need to complete the mission.

@RichardGrenell This has got to be a parody account. Read his other posts.

@RepSaraJacobs The top 1% pay over 38% of income taxes. The top 10% pay over 70% of income taxes. The bottom 50% pay only 3% of income taxes. We are already taxing the rich. Stop with the wealth envy.
English
It’s beyond sickening that Elon Musk – the world’s first trillionaire – pays a lower effective tax rate than truck drivers, firefighters, or nurses.
It’s not complicated – we need to actually TAX THE RICH.

@BillWiIdin You have to admit that it is a great scheme on the part of the restaurants.

The mandatory 20% tipping culture in America has gotten completely out of hand and needs to stop. Why am I being asked to tip 25% at a self-service kiosk when I picked up my own food?
You flipped the screen around to show me a question, you didn't cook or serve the meal. Employers need to pay their staff a living wage instead of guilting customers into paying it for them.
I am officially done tipping for things where I am standing up to order.
