@ChrisMartzWX @AukeHoekstra @elonmusk - ie - I have absolutely no response for this.

@RiebvJanbeeck Europeans extracted billions in wealth - for which they made the roads. Estimated at $1 trillion from extracted resources. Colonial & apartheid govts already exploited easiest-to-mine ore under conditions of cheap labour, minimal environmental compliance, and shallow deposits

damn this is pretty crazy, not gonna lie

@charliekirk11 Maybe it’s because there are plenty of Dems in the files Charlie? It’s mutually assured destruction for both parties. Let’s hope they release them.

@JamesMartinSJ @wholemars this make more sense now?

@nicksortor This is the dumbest political stunt I’ve ever seen. Wait til they find out the price of healthcare.

@jacklangworthy @SenWarren I’m pro science and happy to have everything tested all the time. I guess the main problem is who is testing & their motivation. Apparently he’s hired an antivaxer. Also my algorithm says vaccines have been tested over and over again. But yeah I guess we will see in Sept.

Shanghai has a lower GDP per capita than Mississippi.

Which should tell you something about both Shanghai and GDP…

DOGE success is simply breathtaking

This seems massively overhyped. "Creating the dire wolves called for making just 20 edits in 14 genes in the common gray wolf." In other words, it's not a dire wolf - it's a gray wolf modified to be more like a dire wolf. That's a cool achievement but they have not 'brought the dire wolf back' sorry.

@charliekirk11 You lose when there is high turnout, not low turnout. Look at the data. https://t.co/rVmf70jHaP

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.

It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

@Noahpinion This is stock performance, more to do with Tesla’s being either not sold or set on fire. Apparently Trumps auto tariffs will help almost exclusively Tesla. https://t.co/jue8n1VYnd

@MattWalshBlog Matt Walsh thinks it’s ok for billionaires to buy elections but not for poor people to vote. Despite the fact that it’s the billionaires that are receiving most of the welfare in the form of subsidies & corporate welfare. Or who just got their money from inheritance. Sick.

Absolutely brilliant letter.

SCOOP: A leaked memo reveals a huge list of terms banned by the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service, including “climate,” “vulnerable,” and “safe drinking water.”

The department is responsible for monitoring crops to make sure they are not diseased and can be used for food.

@EvelinaHahne A white person without a college degree earns more on average than a Black person with one. That’s not a merit gap. That’s a privilege gap.

[Matthew Haden @J_Matthew_Haden]

@RightWayGuy @EvelinaHahne @WildlyNormal The Uk plundered $37 trillion of resources from India. USA use military power to install their puppets to extract oil, copper, gold, even bananas from countries. Go read guns germs and steel. It has nothing to do with whiteness and everything to do with geographic luck.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5.

This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.

The GOP is the party of junk fees.

@BasedMikeLee Like you all have gone from having hard power and soft power to just having dumb power.
