The vast majority of House lawmakers file their financial disclosures in the digital format (left)

As you can see, this is actually legible.

Khanna choses to file his in these ridiculous illegible analog checkbox tables (right).

Much of what I reported today has been hiding in plain sight for years Khanna chooses to file his disclosures in this manner.

lol nah fam not quite the same as making a billion plus on crypto while you’re president and your family has crypto businesses

Governor DeSantis and Governor Pritzker each just signed their 8th state budgets. The contrast couldn't be starker. And the lesson is that who you elect matters. Change out the politicians and you get different policies.
For reference, Florida is 1.8x more populous than IL, 23.37m people compared to 12.71m people. Now consider these points:
1. FL general revenue budget is $52B, IL is $56B. Because state's have different ways of budgeting, lookimg at the total FY27 budgets, FL =$117B, IL=$130B. This doesn't make sense.
2. Pritzker advocated for and signed the largest budget in state history this year and in previous years. DeSantis has lowered the amount spent every year for the last four years and vetoed over $10B in spending during his time in office. Pritzker's budget is up $16B since he took office.
3. Pritzker brags about his credit upgrades, but IL has the worst state credit rating, FL has the best credit rating.
4. FL has a rainy day fund of $18B. IL rainy day fund is $2B.
5. FL is pushing $78B in road programs and moving planned projects ahead 5-15 years. IL can't even get projects planned, permitted and built in a timely manner, so many projects are left undone and money sits in an account collecting interest. And now that surplus interest is being sent to the CTA to bail them out.
6. DeSantis has given back over $9B in taxes. Pritzker has raised taxes every year for a total of over $77B according to IPI.
9. FL is giving $5,000 signing bonuses for police officers. IL politicians want to defund the police.
10. FL is on the cusp of eliminating property taxes for 60% of home owners and they have no state income tax. IL has the highest property taxes, plus individial income and estate taxes, high corporate taxes, and there's been no attempt to meaningfully lower property taxes.
Yes, elections have consequences. But, it can all ve reversed. DeSantis barely got elected 8 years ago. Your vote matters.

DSA leaders: We think America is irredeemable, support seizing the means of production, want to abolish police/prisons, and plan to destroy the entire societal structure to redistribute wealth.

Media: Democratic Socialists just want everyone to have healthcare and housing.

Speaking of hoarding wealth, Khanna’s two young children are the proud owners of THREE private golf courses in Ohio, where member initiation fees run upwards of $45k

Khanna’s children — still in elementary school — earned up to $2 million from their golf courses in 2024.

Nonsense. Federal, state, & local governments last year spent a combined $10.3 trillion. Defense accounted for less than 10% of that. The other $9 trillion overwhelmingly consisted of aid to individuals, education, and social services. And aid to Israel was 0.04% of spending.

Paying $200 more for your iPad is literal genocide. It’s time to break up Apple and transfer ownership to a disabled trans Palestinian.

[Nikki Haley @NikkiHaley]

Keep the sanctions on Iran. Don’t unfreeze their assets. Put the pressure on China and Russia to stop buying oil and supplying Iran with equipment. The administration did the bulk of the work. Reversing the progress that was made is a waste. Keep the pressure on and have the gulf states support that pressure. You have to stop their ability to get any money.

[Jason Sesler @jmsesler]

@BulwarkOnline @GovMikeDeWine - thank God your ass is gone this year. Ohioans do not want people here who are wasting our tax dollars. This isn't a choice you get to make, asshole. You're an ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE.

Lebanon has recognized Israel as a sovereign state and agreed to end the state of war.

That would have been unthinkable without U.S. and Israeli successes against the Islamic Republic in Iran and Hezbollah—and @SecRubio’s diplomacy.

Many obstacles remain, but this is a hopeful sign in a region that rarely offers one.

I will never get over the fact that Trump's proposal for what to do about the Twin Towers was to rebuild them but twice as big

[Termez @Termez]

@Average_NY_Guy No point in explaining this to Mamdani. The economics is clear. The previous lessons have proven it. They do it anyway. They don't want to learn. Don't want to do the right thing. DSA = anti-science.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

There are no words that can describe the extent to which I loathe this cancerous parasite, @BernieSanders. He has achieved nothing in his entire career whereby he has relied on the taxpayers to fund his utopian delusional revolution.

[Termez @Termez]

@NewsHour Better to go full-on credentialism. Get your degree remotely from Western Governors, UofA, SNHU or some such. Cheaper, faster, avoids the leftist indoc, and you get to put B.S./B.A. on your resume. That's all that matters now. Nobody believes you leaned much of anything anyway.

[Termez @Termez]

@NickKristof @elonmusk McKenzie could solve this for you.

[Nikki Haley @NikkiHaley]

Iran will never follow through on any MOU.
Iran will never agree to a deal.
Iran will never give up its nuclear ambitions.
Iran will never voluntarily give up control of the Strait.
Iran will never stop supporting terrorists proxies.
Iran will never be a normal country under this regime.

It's a well-observed feature of every genocide through history that victims were extremely upset at being denied the opportunity to work for people trying to murder them.
