This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽♀️
Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.
Is it political dyslexia for a president to adopt multiple policies driving up the cost of gas and food, instead of the reverse? No, it’s just good old fashioned
boneheadedness.https://t.co/1HtylZtinl
Its @AlaskaAir...this isnt out of the ordinary. Today they will blame the weather. I live in Seattle and quit flying Alaska because of the gate issues. Routinely wait over an hour for a gate. I took my gold 75k to @Delta and haven't had the problem since.
The world is so ridiculously complicated, and honestly, I find it absolutely fascinating. 🌍
Right now, there are missiles flying between Israel and Iran... and somehow, people in both countries are out celebrating.
Meanwhile, the people of Cuba are looking around like, "Hey, can someone please come bomb us too just to shake things up?" 🇨🇺🤷♂️
The human mind is just a walking contradiction. If you want proof, just look at my friends:
I have one friend in America who hates Donald Trump with a burning passion. His actual, real-life take today? "Trump absolutely deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. And then they should immediately throw him in jail for being a convicted criminal." 🏆🚓
I have another friend in Israel who says: "Bibi has done an amazing job handling this war! Also, he definitely belongs in prison." 🇮🇱🏛️
And I have a friend in Iran who just told me: "Honestly, Bibi is way more popular here in Tehran right now than he is in Tel Aviv." 🇮🇷🤯
You literally cannot make this stuff up.
People are messy. We are giant paradoxes. We can hold completely opposite, wildly conflicting thoughts in our heads at the exact same time, and the world just keeps on spinning.
Life makes absolutely zero sense right now and yet it makes total sense.... But man, it is definitely not boring. 🍿🌎
Dear Chuck Schumer,
Hi. Black dude here. I can trace my family ancestry to slavery. I even know where they were slaves. My mom experienced Jim Crow. I think I’ve watched every episode of “Eyes On the Prize” when I was younger.
With that said…
Can you directly explain to me how the SAVE Act is “Jim Crow 2.0?” Literally every black person I know has ID. Literally every black person I know has a car or at least a ride. Literally every black person I know knows how to vote (well… except the ones with felonies… but they don’t count).
With your advanced white liberal thinking, you must know more than me. Apparently, as I experience daily on this app, white liberals are experts on being black; even more so than actual black folks. Perhaps you could explain it like I’m five. I’d look it up on the internet, but Kathy Hochul has already told me I don’t know what a computer is and Joe Biden said I can’t navigate it, anyway.
Looking forward to your answer.
No hugs.

Bill, go look at the NYT opinion article regarding the schools in Mississippi Tennessee and Alabama. They are making amazing strides for under 9k a student.
@stoolpresidente Dave your Michigan got our Huskies, our Seahawks got your Pats! Next is the tiebreaker! Good luck and Congratulations on a great unforseen season!
The rot on America’s political right runs deep. Perhaps because of their growing numbers and influence, some on the right apparently seem to believe that the political success of the Republican party requires playing footsie with racists, bigots and antisemites. What are conservatives to do? First, recognise that those of us who prioritise individual liberty, limited government, free markets, personal responsibility, economic opportunity, America’s “credal identity” and US global leadership are a faction on the political right, and not the whole of the right. Second, conservatives must push the broader political right to enforce ideological borders against extremism. Third, conservatives must resist the ascendant effort to redefine American identity as blood-and-soil nationalism.
