@krassenstein Why wasn’t the $850 million it cost to build this enlarged hood ornament given to the tribes from which this land was taken?

[CriticalThinkTank @TankCritical]

@EdKrassen Is that your response to the signing of the Iran deal? Any comment to gas prices or the record stock market?

[CriticalThinkTank @TankCritical]

@JessicaTarlov This is a post-war framework after Iran was militarily degraded—not a revived JCPOA giveaway.

@Janabw81 Installing some type of water filtration system is the only solution. Ever since it opened in 1922, the reflecting pool has contained some level of algae to it’s shallow configuration.

@RyanShead Hey, left-leaning cities deal with combined sewer overflows, road salt runoff, and stormwater pollution too.

[CriticalThinkTank @TankCritical]

@LakotaMan1 Algae isn't "Trump-created"; it's physics + biology in a high-maintenance feature. The response uses established methods plus upgrades—not reckless toxicity. Exaggerating it as unique irresponsibility ignores the pool's long history.

@ProjectLincoln Hypocrisy exists on both sides—fiscal conservatism is often performative. Better metric: actual debt trajectory, improper payment rates, and audited efficiency vs. rhetoric. Early-term gotchas rarely capture it.

@krassenstein Meanwhile, the FBI says it thwarted a drone attack targeting Sunday's UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn.

@krassenstein You’re “crying and complaining" is performative political activism and content farming. A lot of influencers on all sides do it—left, right, whatever—because it drives engagement, dopamine, and revenue. Frankly, it’s wearing thin on a lot of people.

@SenatorHick Congress should legislate a targeted, conditional pathway (e.g., Dream Act-style with merit, military, or education requirements) alongside enforcement reforms—E-Verify, asylum limits, legal immigration increases for skilled workers.

[CriticalThinkTank @TankCritical]

@sly_spectre @CalltoActivism How about instead of it burning down; each state legislature have voters decide whether they want to live under conservative policies or liberal ones? States could then split into their respective ideological policies. This country will never be united.

[CriticalThinkTank @TankCritical]

@thatdayin1992 Blanket "we bomb then gift them money" ignores agency, Iran's choices, verification in any deal, and that weakness invites more expensive conflicts later. Strategy prioritizes long-term security over short-term accounting.

[CriticalThinkTank @TankCritical]

@kid_riles Wars are expensive in blood and treasure (always have been), and outcomes are rarely clean. This one stemmed from escalation over Iran's nuclear advances, proxies, and the Hormuz closure—not unprovoked bombing "for no reason."

[CriticalThinkTank @TankCritical]

@krassenstein No mention of the Iranian deal and gas at $80 a barrel and falling.

@EdKrassen Trade a cancellation of UFC for a cancellation of Pride month?

[CriticalThinkTank @TankCritical]

@EdKrassen So what? He’s at the UFC event and had guests until 2am and then boards a plane to France for the G7.

[CriticalThinkTank @TankCritical]

@RoKhanna @BernieSanders Targeting a handful of billionaires’ paper wealth sounds simple but ignores incentives, enforcement realities, and historical failures. It risks reducing the dynamism that creates wealth and opportunity for everyone.

[CriticalThinkTank @TankCritical]

@GovPressOffice Red states aren't uniformly failing—they often deliver lower costs and attract Americans. Blue states generate wealth but struggle with governance issues driving exodus.

[CriticalThinkTank @TankCritical]

@AndrewYang If we replaced representatives in both the House and Senate with AI robots would there still be a cry for term-limits?

[CriticalThinkTank @TankCritical]

@themack619 There’s a difference between Docu-sign and auto-pen. Haven’t you personally signed documents electronically versus auto-stamping your signature without even reading the document itself?
