Trump/Patel/Bondi are winking when they talk about the Epstein case. They are revealing the truth in the only way they can. It is exactly what you think it is.

The takeaway: Powerful people control the narrative, and in this case, even control Trump, Patel and Bondi. They're not liars; they're hostages.

@pmarca Do consumers get these savings if the power company does NOT use GridCARE? If not, this is just corporate marketing.

And the #1 rule of marketing is "Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story". That's the more likely scenario here.

@JoaquinCastrotx Congress defines immigration laws, and ICE enforces those laws. Fix the laws if they're broken, but don't blame ICE for doing what Congress requires them to do.

[Better Qs @better_qs]

@Ground_app It's only a "blindspot" if he was incorrectly detained or ICE did something to cause his death. The story doesn't even hint that either of these is true.

So it sounds like right-leaning news outlets failed to parrot propaganda. That's not a blindspot.

@ChrisMartzWX Anyone with only half of an opinion is an idiot. Share the other half of your opinion.

How would the government pay interest on the debt, defense spending, etc.? What's the alternative funding source given there are $2T deficits even with the federal income tax.

What % of parents will refuse to open a Trump Account because of its name?

It will be an interesting test of which is stronger: a parent's hatred for Trump or their love for their child.

You have a 2A right to bring a licensed weapon to a protest. But if you do, you lose the right to call it a "peaceful protest".

@KobeissiLetter often posts useful content, but this is just idiotic.

Greenland is one-quarter the size of the United States. And there's no source (or logic) for the $700B estimate.

Learn how maps work. Provide sources for outrageous claims. The rest of your posts are discredited when you post content like this.

@BillAckman Agreed. The exchange fee should be the same for every credit card swipe.

If a credit card company wants to offer perks to its high-income customers, let them find a different way to fund it.

@elonmusk Did you know the annual Premium+ cost increased 4X ($100.80 -> $395) without any notice? @support refuses to issue a refund despite this being a clear violation of your T&Cs.

Fix your internal fraud before complaining about government fraud.

"X will provide reasonable advance notice of any material change to the price of Paid Services."

@amuse @DataRepublican A more concise sign would just read "We employ illegals."

@philippilk Or, perhaps 9 million refugees return to rebuild Venezuela to where it was before Chavez/Maduro destroyed it.

The worst part of the Somali fraud is that they're stealing from our most needy citizens.

This isn't a Robin Hood situation. This is pure evil.

[Better Qs @better_qs]

Enforcing immigration laws saves money. You have it backwards (as usual).

Incentives to encourage illegal immigration are REALLY expensive: welfare, EBT, housing subsidies, health care, etc. They cause inflation, housing shortages, and massive fraud.

Remove the incentives, and much of the problem solves itself.

Perhaps Trump is trying to expose how often bureaucrats "clarify" (override) Congressional intent.

Two birds, one stone: Expose the swamp; get a prominent arts complex named after yourself.

I'm sure Trump would be happier if every bureaucrat adhered to the law. But until then, take advantage of it.

[Better Qs @better_qs]

@RichardGrenell @CNN Changing the nickname for the complex is not illegal.

Complainers can still refer to it as the "John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts" (the name mandated by Congress) or its nickname (now the "Trump Kennedy Center").

Cultural appropriation is a feature of America, not a bug.

The point of America as a "melting pot" is to absorb the best aspects of every legal immigrant, making the country more dynamic, innovative, and interesting.

Those who want to contribute to this "American experiment" should be welcomed with open arms. Those who want to protect and promote their own culture should remain where they are.

When Lin-Manuel Miranda left the cast of Hamilton, would it have been racist to replace him with a 35-year-old white man of European descent?

[Better Qs @better_qs]

@KobeissiLetter Trump is just pressuring the Supreme Court to rule in his favor on tariffs.

Setting expectations with the public with tariff refund checks – and now no income taxes – exactly fits Trump's negotiating style.

[Better Qs @better_qs]

@KobeissiLetter Citing discredited sources as "Breaking News" further erodes your credibility.

[Better Qs @better_qs]

@EricLDaugh The average absentee rate for Charlotte schools is around 12%, so it was slightly higher today. It's wildly misleading to suggest 100% of the absenteeism today is due to the ICE surge.

Unless you are intentionally trying to mislead. 🤨
