No-nonsense PR dude. I get you ink without agency overhead & babble. Fan of all things bicycling & baseball. Frustrated screenwriter. Irish Setter fanatic.
@PramilaJayapal Jayapal's Medicare for All promises socialist utopia but brings high taxes, potential shortages & govt control.
Reality: $32T+ new fed costs (Mercatus), higher total spending + waits/rationing (RAND), big payment cuts to hospitals/doctors, massive tax hike on middle class.
@TomSteyer Terrified? Yep - of a $200M+ self-funded bid to buy CA’s governorship & double down on the tax-n-spend disaster that’s driving out jobs, spiking costs, & filling streets with tents. Got rich on Wall Street. Now punishing success with more govt. CA’s seen this sequel. It flops.
@TomSteyer Daily💩 from the billionaire. Prop 13 isn’t a loophole, it’s CA’s last line of defense against tax vampires like you. Close it for corps becomes soak all. Small biz, landlords, & soon all homeowners get hosed. A million-housing fairy tale funded by class warfare. Pure snake oil.
@TomHQ@TomSteyer Prop 13 isn’t a loophole, it’s CA’s last line of defense against tax vampires like you. Close it for corps becomes soak all. Small biz, landlords, & soon all homeowners get hosed. A million-housing fairy tale funded by class warfare. Pure snake oil. Take your billions & leave!

Lou Brock with Jack Spring and Paul Toth Cubs to the Cardinals for Ernie Broglio, Doug Clemens and Bobby Shantz
@TomHQ Steyer thinks voters are fools. His "plan" isn’t tax cuts, it’s hiking corp prop taxes via split-roll on Prop 13 before hosing all🏡, free everything. Same progressive shell game: tax more, spend more, promise lower costs. CA is bleeding residents & businesses already. No thanks.
@TomSteyer Tax "billionaires like me" sounds cute until the bill hits all. Single-payer healthcare? $300B–$500B+/yr - near double CA's entire budget.
Prop 13 split-roll on commercial, then homes. Seniors reassessed, taxes soar, fixed-income voters lose🏡
This is fraud, not affordability.
@TomSteyer Steyer got rich investing in coal, oil & private prisons lectures he's "not bought." CA tried your progressive utopia: highest cost of living, #1 poverty rate, exploding homelessness despite $24B+ spent, businesses/residents fleeing. We don't need a rich activist buying the seat.
@TomSteyer Another day, another Steyer plea to protect the supermajority that's crushed CA with high taxes, $8 gas, fraud, wealth tax support & exodus. A vote for Steyer is déjà vu all over again - Yogi Berra was right. Same failed policies. Show up June 2 and break the cycle. @SteveHiltonx
@GiantHotTakes Happy Tyler "Mayhem" Day indeed.
He's getting torched out there, serving up meatballs like it's BP. Giants took a $10M one-year flier on the injury-prone vet and it's blowing up in their face. Tommy John in 2023, multiple shoulder issues including in 2025.
Time to cut bait.
@GiantHotTakes NOT hit for AVG - .235 or lower most yrs
NOT walk - single digit BB rate
NOT steal bases - 1 SB all year
NOT play GG def - leads league errors at SS
NOT make contact - high K rate again
NOT carry Giants when it matters most
Hits HRs once in awhile. That's about it.
@GiantHotTakes Agreed. Offense a bit better in May but is Jeckel & Hyde as seen Monday. The roster is loaded with streaky hitters who live and die by the strikeout. What about the pitching and defense? Brutal. Hard to see this team going on any real run. Giants are stifled by contract bloat.
@Emolclause Mamdani's Trump proofing - Tax "wealthy" & corps; snatch $9B to:
• Shield illegals from deportation
• Expand welfare against SNAP reform
• Defy federal law
• Fund socialist agenda
Weaponized local govt to nullify Trump, punish 838k Trump voters (30% of NYC).💯% class-warfare.
@TomSteyer Steyer's promises are pure pandering. CA Gov can't unilaterally slash rates 25%, build 1M homes, or abolish ICE. That's legislature, CPUC, & fed law. Billionaire virtue-signaling won't fix Sacto's mess. More taxes & defying reality = the same failed playbook. Don't buy it voters.
@GiantHotTakes A 3-time Batting Average champ and consummate contact hitter who worked hard to become an outstanding fielder in Luis Arreaz.
Playing alongside Casey Schmitt finally getting a chance to play regular, showing pop & consistent hitting around .270-.310. This should be a no-brainer.
@GiantHotTakes Giants paid for a premium CenterFielder with Jung Hoo Lee. If he’s really a corner OF long term, the investment looks shaky. Corner bats need impact power, cannons for arms - not just contact skills. The Giants once again paid for just adequate instead of building lineup thump.
@TomSteyer Steyer has dropped $192M of his own hedge fund cash trying to buy Sacto like it's a Super PAC. He cries when corps spend $50M to fight his progressive sequel to the same failed policies crushing families & driving out biz. Hypocrite billionaire wants monopoly on buying elections.
@sportslarryk@NorCalSportsNW@DanCoccimiglio Schmitt is victim of the Giants having no clue of how to develop prospects. Been happening for decades - especially during the Gabe Kapler platoon from hell era. Even this year Schmitt was not slated as a starter entering Spring Training. I give you currently - Bryce Eldridge.
@PramilaJayapal Imagine your child waiting 6+ months for a rationed MRI, specialist, or surgery. That's Medicare for All. All covered except when the waitlist kills them. Canada/UK realities aren't compassion, they're deadly delays. We need price transparency & competition, not a govt monopoly.
