@SenSanders Bernie has spent decades telling Americans what’s wrong with the country. After 30+ years in Washington, maybe it’s time he explained what he’s actually fixed.
Less outrage. More results
@mmpadellan “Solid case” that never reached a verdict, relied on unprecedented legal theories, and ended with dismissal. Calling that justice is like calling a collapsed bridge a successful engineering proje
Mamdani inherited a genuine ~$12B gap from the prior admin. He closed most of it via:
- Modest new taxes on the rich (pied-à-terre on luxury 2nd homes + minor UBT tweak)
- Claimed agency savings/efficiencies
But the biggest pieces were **state aid from Albany** (~$3-4B) and **pension payment delays** (~$1.6-2.3B "savings" by stretching amortization to 2037). Critics rightly call the pension move a gimmick—it doesn't reduce the debt, just shifts bigger costs + interest to future taxpayers.
No property tax hikes or service cuts on working people = true. "Purely taxing the rich + efficiency" = spin. He got real help from the state and kicked some can down the road. Short-term win, long-term questions remain on NYC's structural pension/load issues.
@NickKristof@elonmusk These countries have faced corruption, conflict, weak healthcare & aid dependency for decades. If one funding decision can collapse an entire health system overnight, perhaps the bigger question is why billions in foreign aid over decades failed to build one that’s sustainable.
The Washington Post has given zero time to Tulsi Gabbard’s release, debates involving Fauci, questions about Wuhan, and discussions of gain-of-function research that killed
millions while they just focus on Algae.
The Reflecting Pool debacle fits within Trump’s broader second-term desire to mark his place in history as a great figure.
That legacy-building impulse has expressed itself as an urge to put his name, his image and his brand on whatever he can in D.C. https://t.co/1VfNtuEzcl
@MyArrse@stop1984 Some people really do think market cap is a bank account.
Musk didn’t “lose $350bn” like he misplaced a debit card down the sofa. A fall in paper valuation means the market currently values his holdings lower than last week. That’s how stocks work.
@GretaGrace20 So questioning Trump for five years = accountability.
Questioning Fauci or asking for transparency about COVID origins = rewriting history.
That’s not a principle. That’s tribal politics.
@anyonewantchips Of course.
The man whose emails raised questions about transparency is an American patriot.
The Iraq War veteran, former Democrat congresswoman and serving intelligence chief is a Russian asset.
You people would call a cheese sandwich a Russian asset if it disagreed with them.
@TheRickWilson Rick Wilson’s entire personality now seems to be:
“Trump is finished… this time… honestly… and also the pond is green.”
Ten years of failed predictions and he’s still rage-posting about algae.
Political analysis by emotional support meme.🤡
@EdKrassen Imagine spending years cheering censorship, ignoring government failures and smearing people who questioned COVID narratives, only to end up making Gollum memes about algae in a pond.
This isn’t political commentary. It’s propaganda for people with the attention span of a fish.
@OccupyDemocrats People can’t afford groceries, housing costs are soaring, there are wars overseas and national debt is exploding, yet we’re supposed to spend our day discussing whether Donald Trump uses a bath mat correctly.
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.
