Every parking space in the US just got put on notice. We will find you, and we will build glorious buildings on top of you. Your time as a scourge of our beautiful cities has finally come to an end.

ABOLISH PARKING MINIMUMS NOW!

@KatieMiller Trump did try to overthrow an election and got us the closest to losing democracy since Reconstruction in the 1800s. Maybe there is some truth to it…

[Tom Suozzi @Tom_Suozzi]

The status quo isn't working, but the answer isn't to reject America’s two founding principles of democracy and capitalism. We must do the hard work of actually making them work for people.

@Kalshi Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

@Ilhan Our federal dollars shouldn’t go to universities that counter American interests. The US relies on Israel’s intelligence and technology in the Middle East, and universities shouldn’t be rewarded for disturbing an essential partnership for American national security.

Between idiotic central planning on tariffs to public ownership of American businesses, Trump is one of the most communist presidents of all time. Classic Republicans like Reagan would be shocked on how MAGA has turned their back on the free market.

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

The funny thing is how often the people who say "Hitler was a socialist" are die-hard supporters of Trump's government takeovers of private industry.

Like, are you saying "Hitler was a socialist..and that's a good thing"??

[Brad Polumbo @brad_polumbo]

No, the United States became an economic superpower *in spite of* slavery, which, setting aside its moral monstrosity, in crude economic terms, was a huge misallocation and destruction of human capital to enrich slaveowners at the expense of massive deadweight loss in terms of overall economic growth.

[Project Liberal @ProjectLiberal]

This is what national suicide looks like.

We used to attract the best and brightest from around the world, and Trump threw that away.

One great suggestion here that should be required in all sectors of the economy. TRANSPARENT PRICING. The free market can’t work if the consumer isn’t making choices based on the proper price. For instance, restaurants should include the full price (including tax, tip, and “junk fees”) on their menu. This will drive prices down as Americans chose to forgo places charging high prices. @ThirdWayKessler

These ideas are ruthlessly pragmatic and would deliver results quickly that Americans can actually feel in their lives. All could get done with the right president and a Congress that gets the message that we need to prioritize results for working people.

But don’t mistake the ambition: the impact would be transformative, making working Americans more secure, more prosperous, and more hopeful about the future.

The House just passed my Bipartisan Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act with Congresswoman @virginiafoxx to stand firm against the BDS movement on college campuses and protect Jewish students and professors. This bill is an important step forward in ensuring academic freedom for all students. I will push the Senate to take up the bill shortly so it can become law.

Americans need a Health Care Bill of Rights so our health care system prioritizes patients over profits. That’s why it’s a core tenet of our New Economic Bargain, released yesterday.

See how we can reduce costs, provide easy access to care, and end surprise medical bills—among much more: https://t.co/TPTJTOzv2g

Thanks Zohran 🥴

Patients who are denied coverage for a drug or treatment are often successful when they appeal, but it takes medical evidence and persistence. https://t.co/ZgIh2ZhNhO

[Democratic Majority for Israel @DemMaj4Israel]

Leading Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries have rightly called out Hasan Piker's bigotry. But right now, leading Republicans like JD Vance are all too comfortable cozying up to Tucker Carlson. That should concern all Americans. https://t.co/G0yMpXacHi

Vance tells Americans to be grateful gas prices aren’t even higher

"Housing is one of the largest ways things are going wrong for young people. And people blame that on capitalism, because that's the status quo. But, in fact, housing is one of the sectors of our economy that is least exposed to the free market."

The Northeast has some of the largest minimum lot-size requirements in North America.

Fewer places to build = fewer homes = higher prices.

Research in Eastern Massachusetts found large increases in minimum lot sizes can drive up home prices by 15–20% or more.

@SlashSlash_X @PollTracker2024 I literally need you to explain that because what does my rent have to do with this conversation

[ModerateDem @ModerateDem2026]

@fichasdeajedrez @FG320Marlboro @PollTracker2024 Pretty sure Israel’s success in medicine, technology, science and business shows the Jewish people have triumphed. While the Jews get educated and contribute to society, you just spew hate. Cope harder loser

[ModerateDem @ModerateDem2026]

@fichasdeajedrez @FG320Marlboro @PollTracker2024 Can you please make one valid point or would you like to call me an inbreeder again
