Republicans are in charge because we promised:
to Make America Healthy Again.
to start No New Wars,
to put people above corporations,
to put America above foreign countries,
to release the Epstein files,
to not spy on citizens,
to eliminate fraud,
what the hell happened?!
Bill Gates, Ehud Barak, Larry Summers, Leon Black... all of them have had to explain their Epstein ties under oath in congressional hearings.
But Epstein’s friend, associate, and literal neighbor Howard Lutnick never has. Why?
That’s the question people should be asking.
@foxenflask Even better, not only did GM keep him on the board, they elevated him to lead the Executive Compensation Committee - so he's essentially in charge of rubberstamping Mary Barra's paychecks.

Let me get this straight...
@Devinwenig ran $EBAY. A Massachusetts couple, David and Ina Steiner, wrote a newsletter that occasionally criticized the company. That was the offense.
In response, Wenig authorized a terror campaign. His head of security, Jim Baugh, drove 3,000 miles across the country in a black van to stalk them. Live spiders and cockroaches were mailed to their home. A fetal pig. A funeral wreath left at their door. Death threats. Pornographic magazines sent to their neighbors to humiliate them. All of it orchestrated from inside a publicly traded Fortune 500 company, against two private citizens, because they had a newsletter.
Seven eBay employees were convicted on federal charges. Baugh was sentenced to 57 months in prison. eBay itself was hit with six felony counts, criminal fines, and a court order to address rampant alcohol abuse within its ranks.
Wenig still walked away with a whopping $57 million in 2019!
He then landed on GM's board. Shareholders re-elected him in June 2020, with full knowledge of what had happened. $GM CEO @mtbarra looked the other way. The Steiners spent years pursuing a civil case against eBay and Wenig personally. It was quietly settled in early 2026 on undisclosed terms.
No clawback. No removal. No accountability at the board level. Nothing. Corporate America at it's finest.
One of the most quietly bizarre conflicts on the current $EBAY board is Aparna Chennapragada, who has served as an eBay director since 2022 and sits on the Technology Committee. In October 2023, she became Corporate Vice President of Generative AI at Microsoft, the same Microsoft that runs Bing Shopping, a direct e-commerce competitor to eBay. Before Microsoft, she was Chief Product Officer at Robinhood and before that a VP at Google, whose Shopping vertical is eBay's single biggest competitor for buyer intent. She simultaneously holds deep AI product strategy knowledge from Microsoft's most sensitive roadmaps while sitting on eBay's technology and AI-focused oversight committee. Remarkably, nobody has publicly raised this conflict, despite it mirroring the Marc Andreessen situation that Carl Icahn made a national story out of in 2014. Maybe I'm just paranoid.
Oh look another plane that just magically ran out of Water Vapour, which nobody ever used to witness happening anywhere ever.
Please take all the time you need…
Israel targeting senior U.S. officials cannot be accepted by our government.
This is not standard practice, especially considering the fact that Israel survives on our defense funding & diplomatic top cover.
Until we actually take away the support we give Israel they will keep playing us as fools.
Earlier this week, I talked about how Congress is hiding the U.S.–Israel military relationship in the defense bill.
There is a second bill that goes further. It makes it law that a president can't pull intelligence sharing back without clearing a legal hurdle, even if you elect one who wants to. 🧵
