It’s insane that it’s even possible (encouraged!) for someone to spend $200M in 20 years, let alone 5.

I love a growing pie but the fact there isn’t more of a conversation on the rich investing back in the community is a huge failure for our economy, politics, society, etc.

Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul says $200 million isn't as much money as athletes think

"I got guys, 22, making $200 million over the next four or five years. I'm constantly telling them that's not a lot of money based upon where you're starting, because you're starting from zero"

"How do we understand how to compound that. Everyone's not going to play into their 40s. They're done when they're 33. They're paying a 51–55% tax"

"Not to mention jeans today, the ones they want that they're buying in excess, which they probably don't really need, cost $2,000"

"No athlete can afford to fly private all the time, yet we see so many athletes on Instagram flying private"

"I fly Delta. I cannot afford to fly private, and that's okay with me. I'm just trying to get where I'm trying to go to make the money. I'm not trying to spend the money"

"The times I do fly private, you will never see it on Instagram because it's not for show"

Here's what the pork industry doesn't want you to know about the way it sneaked a provision into the 2026 farm bill that would nullify ballot measures that improve animal welfare, while helping Chinese companies torture American pigs. The issue is personal to me, because we once raised pigs on our family farm, and I saw that these are not commodities but animals rather like dogs: smart with very distinct personalities. A naughty boy who punishes a single animal may be punished, but an adult who presides over the systematic abuse of hundreds of thousands of pigs as a business model is hailed as a visionary CEO -- and voters get that, and that's why they have backed laws that improve animal wellbeing. This is, remarkably, an issue that unites many liberals and conservatives alike; @TomiLahren, @Cernovich and @IngrahamAngle are among those who have been outspoken on this issue. I hope R and D members of Congress alike will stand firm, for the stakes are immense, with four pigs slaughtered around the clock on average all year. Here's a gift link to my piece: https://t.co/NWQbJK6JTc I welcome your comments.

[Jon Ossoff @ossoff]

Congratulations to @KeishaBottoms on a well-fought victory. While GOP candidates now face prolonged infighting, united Georgia Democrats enter the General Election with unprecedented momentum and determination.

Keisha’s powerful campaign mobilized voters statewide, and together we are building a massive and unstoppable winning coalition to deliver decisive victories statewide up and down the ballot in November.

Georgia Dems being hyped as fuck to vote even though they had no clue who to actually vote for really speaks to this moment in politics

[Greg Bluestein @bluestein]

Wow. Officials say Democrats are now slightly leading Republicans in Election Day vote, with about 770,000 ballots cast so far today. That’s on top of the ~150k D edge during the early-vote period. This could have big implications for the Georgia Supreme Court races. #gapol

[Jason Esteves @jasonesteves]

Always proud to be endorsed by City of Atlanta leaders past and present.

Georgians are tired of the old politics and politicians who created the crises we’re in today.

It’s time for a new generation of leadership.

[Machmud Makhmudov @__machmud]

One vote in the books for @jasonesteves to be the next Governor of Georgia and four chicken tenders in the stomach for me. Early voting goes through May 15 and Jason is the strongest candidate to flip the governor’s mansion from Republicans. Go vote! #gapol

Here's the thing: when big companies go down to 8 weeks, then smaller companies and startups will go down to 4, if anything. This is simply not enough time for most families, especially in a world where remote work is also disappearing. Daycare won't even take babies under 6 weeks old.

We know how this story plays out. Mothers will leave the paid workforce.

We shouldn't accept this as the new normal. The more we talk about it the harder it is for the bar to keep dropping.

Free MARTA from the Atlanta airport right now is electric. Save the $40 Uber and hop on in brotha.

@umichvoter Everyone reading this go volunteer for Esteves this weekend.

Hey Twitter! This is my friend Jeff. He’s having a bad day at work and so he has to say stuff he doesn’t mean. I think inside he’s just a teddy bear. Please, say something to cheer him up.

[Robert P. George @McCormickProf]

I don’t see any way to interpret President Trump's "prediction" that "a whole civilization will die tonight" as other than a threat to order the military to commit crimes against civilians. If he issues such an order, it will be the duty of military leaders to refuse to comply.

[Chairman Birb Bernanke @Bonecondor]

We have got to start apologizing to the schizophrenic community

[Machmud Makhmudov @__machmud]

you go around the corner and think it’s better but actually it’s WORSE congrats I played myself

[Machmud Makhmudov @__machmud]

pov you’re flying out of hartsfield-jackson in Atlanta 😭

🚨Nancy Mace and Debbie Wasserman Schultz getting escorted through TSA …

… bypassing the lines the rest of us are stuck in.

No wonder Americans are fed up with Congress.

Just because you can skip the line doesn’t mean you should.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

Father of a two-and-a-half-year-old and seven month old twins who will never know their father. Devastating, makes me absolutely sick to my stomach.
