Greenland is now asking Trump to invade, hoping to secure a deal similar to the one Iran got.

Here is the entirety of JD Vance's appearance on The View, which did not go well for him

(and kudos to the hosts for actually asking him hard-hitting questions and followups)

I will never understand how so many of y'all were hoodwinked into believing the government should not use the money YOU PAY IN TAXES to create a social safety net that benefits YOU.

With Guillermo del Toro’s recommendation, I started watching Apple TV+‘s “Widow’s Bay.” It’s so incredibly good that I couldn’t stop, so I binged through Episode 9 in one go. This horror-comedy, executive produced by Hiro Murai, is set in a cursed island town 40 miles off the coast of New England. Dense fog, violent storms, and all kinds of supernatural phenomena descend upon the town. It’s packed with horror elements, one after another. Fans of Stephen King and horror in general will love it. The pacing is excellent, and the balance between horror and humor is just right. Ironically, the mayor’s tireless efforts to attract tourists reminded me of Mayor Vaughn from “Jaws.” The townspeople are wonderfully eccentric as well, with personalities straight out of “Twin Peaks.” It’s been a long time since a series pulled me in this completely. I can’t wait for next Wednesday’s final episode.

Call me a hater but I think living in a world where both trillionaires and global poverty coexist is a sign humanity has failed as a species

Elizabeth Warren’s proposed 3% tax on people with over $100M in wealth would generate $30B in revenue each year on Elon Musk’s fortune alone. That’s about how much the US spends each year on affordable housing subsidies.

Tax. The. Rich.

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today.

Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.

If the NY Knicks lose game 3 of the NBA finals the whole country is blaming it on Trump btw

That Meet the Press interview is why trump's handlers never allow him to leave the Fox News and right wing media bubble.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

How much longer are we going to tolerate the way Trump speaks to female reporters?

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

John Fetterman seems to genuinely think that the reason no one likes him is because he refuses to wear a suit.

It's not the hoodie, dude. It's because you've become a stooge for AIPAC and the Republican party.

[Tahra Hoops @TahraHoops]

if this is hard for you to understand maybe you should not be in charge of a 15 billion dollar city budget

[Jon “Bowzer” Bauman @JonBowzerBauman]

Democrats have to unite behind EVERY candidate who wins EVERY primary to beat EVERY Republican in EVERY election in the midterms.

All internal disagreements are minor compared to the very fate of the Republic, which is at stake because Republicans are either fascists or cowards

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

You can be a tattooed, deep-voiced, "manly" combat veteran who also goes to therapy and shows up for his neighbors. Those two things go completely hand-in-hand.

And I think it's important to have people who can show that, instead of a vision of masculinity that's hardened, shut off, and angry.

@GroovyBruce We're getting ready to head north to see this tonight. See you there, @GroovyBruce!

[Phantom Genius @BlartsBackup]

@AesPolitics1 You want to know how I know Platner isn't a Nazi? If he were MAGA would love him.

[Phantom Genius @BlartsBackup]

@GroovyBruce Can't wait! The kids and I are driving from Kentucky to see you this Friday!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I'll be introducing the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act, a bill giving the public a direct stake to determine AI's future.

When a public resource generates wealth, the public should share in that wealth. https://t.co/pqlQyEKDKT

@binx7h This has been a problem for us in our master bedroom. I bought a Roku Streambar because it advertised enhanced voice clarity, and it really worked! I just wish that they would use whatever tech they have on a bigger sound bar for my living room.
