I don’t care how “efficient” the private sector is.
Some services should never be run as businesses.
Health care. Water. Electricity. Gas. Prisons.
If a company makes more money when people get sicker, stay locked up longer, or have no choice but to pay, that’s a system built on conflicting interests.
Other than oppressive heat and humidity, historic inflation, international warfare, hazardous air quality from wildfire smoke, and the risk of explosive gastrointestinal distress from fresh produce, this summer hasn’t been all that bad.
Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million.
This year, it’s raising the price of an Xbox by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs.
Please don’t tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down.
These people are full of emotions, empathy and pain💔
Volodymyr Zelensky came into office without losing his humanity. Power increased his responsibility, but it never changed who he is. True character is a gift❤️🩹
Please don't stop supporting him, don't stop supporting brave defenders. Don't stop supporting Ukraine🇺🇦.
They still need our help. 🫂❤️🇺🇦
Dear Norway fans… you are, without question, the finest supporters this tournament has seen.
From a nation of just over five and a half million people, you travelled across oceans, filled stadiums, painted American streets red and white and turned every single game into a festival of noise, pride and pure joy.
28 years away from the World Cup stage and you returned not with entitlement, but with energy. Not just with noise, but with meaning.
The Viking Row didn’t just inspire your players. It inspired everyone. Opponents. Neutrals. The entire watching world.
The quarter finals. You deserve every single second of it. Keep going. Keep rowing. Norway, the world is behind you. 🇳🇴
America is a constant work in progress. Every generation must take up the unfinished work of the last and carry it further—protecting what’s right, fixing what’s wrong, and making our union a little more perfect. 250 years later, that’s more important than ever.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.
Now it's our turn.
There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.
250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.
Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.
Jeff Bezos thinks people are
"vilifying the rich.”
Bro, you're one of the richest people on earth and 1/3 of your warehouse workers rely on government assistance for basic needs like food and rent.
You ARE the villain.
