Things most Americans agree on:
Groceries cost too much.
Tariffs suck and make no sense.
Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.
The debt is a mess.
The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.
Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.
Americans are exhausted.
AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.
Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.
Canadians are super fucking cool.
Mexicans are chill.
Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.
Good neighbors are a blessing.
Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.
We all question, are we alone in the universe?
We all fuck up along the way.
Epstein didn’t hang himself.
The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.
The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!
Things we’re told to fight about:
Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.
That’s the joke.
It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.
Massie: Today is the six-month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture—that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.
Congressional advisers call to rein in Medicare Advantage spending amid industry pressure
I’ll summarize for you.
EVERY SINGLE FAMILY IN THE USA IS PAYING $800 A YEAR to the big insurance companies because taxpayers pay them more than it costs to support Trad Medicare
That’s insane. And it doesn’t even include the increased premiums trad medicare plan holders have to spend.
Medicare Advantage was meant to cost LESS than trad Medicare. Yet here we are
Support the Break Up Big Medicine bill from @HawleyMO and @SenWarren
If your representative is up for election in Nov and they don’t support this bill. Don’t vote for them. They support higher healthcare costs. To reduce healthcare costs, this bill is the most direct path

Tim Sheehy is a liar on the payroll of pro-war lobbyists and violently broke the arm of a Marine vet who questioned the Iran War.
Derek's quote tweet below breaks down just how intellectual and morally bankrupt Sheehy's lies about how "things were planned out" really are.
Trump chastised @RepThomasMassie for voting against his tax cuts. But he actually voted against the tax hikes that the rest of the Republicans supported. Since the Big, Beautiful Bill made the federal government bigger and more expensive, it amounted to a disguised tax increase.
IN LEBANON — @cbonneauimages: “A message to 🇺🇸 taxpayers: while you can’t afford groceries and are 1 medical emergency away from bankruptcy, your tax dollars are going to 🇮🇱 to kill civilians in foreign countries… the # of massacres here in the last 24 hours is dizzying.”
Here's the truth:
Senate Republicans could pay our TSA agents and fund FEMA today. In fact, they could've funded it last week. @SenateDems brought a simple, clean bill that would fund these essential agencies while we keep negotiating on ICE and CBP.
Republicans blocked it.
The economy President nuked the economy
The no war President started a war in the Middle East
The drain the swamp President promotes corruption
The crypto President launched rugs
The release the Epstein files President is in them
The cheap oil President made oil moon
Alright...
Chris.
This is the third time I’ve pointed out on one of your tweets on this:
* This is already NOT legal.
CFTC regulated markets in the US *cannot* have war markets, and must screen for insider trading.
Offshore markets that do, are legally not allowed to have *ANY* US nexus including advertising to Americans or having US related markets.
When they do they are breaking US law and it is the job of the CFTC to go after them.
The CFTC’s enforcement division has been gutted and that’s the failure here.
You continue to advocate for a law that *ALREADY EXISTS* despite it being explained to you multiple times.
People wonder why we Dems get branded as heavy-handed tech-ignorant regulators and it’s because of behavior like this.
You want a law that stops this?
Mandate that the CFTCs enforcement division has a minimum portion of budget and staffing from CFTC funding, so that Trump can’t gut it and leave this unchecked.
A nonprofit hospital that reported a $201 million operating loss and laid off 650 workers just bought naming rights to the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice facility.
Look at the pattern. Bolton speaks out — targeted.
Milley speaks out — portrait pulled, demotion whispers.
Esper. Tillerson. Mattis. John Kelly.
I was fired after 11 days — I owned it. I didn’t blame anyone. I tried to stay loyal to the party.
But there’s a difference between loyalty to a party and loyalty to a person.
When the goalposts move away from Republican orthodoxy — limited government, constitutional restraint, moral clarity — you have to choose.
He calls others RINOs. I’d argue the opposite.
This wasn’t a reform movement. It was a hostile takeover, where the MAGA brand acquired the Republican Party and kept the Lincoln logo.
Parties evolve. That’s politics.
But when a personality cult replaces a philosophy, you’re not talking about ideology anymore.
You’re talking about ownership.
