Luddite. It's a belief system. Latest question: am I too old to ever enjoy any platform game?

@Eeowna Congratulations!

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."

A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.

Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

@dclaryjr I had to convince someone that when Star Wars came out there was no “Episode 4: A New Hope” subtitle. It was just “Star Wars”. It took some arguing too. The fact that I saw it multiple times in the theater in 1977 wasn’t enough “proof” that I knew what I was talking about.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a list in possession of three or more items is in want of an Oxford comma.

Thank you. I don’t want my tax dollars going to a bunch of corrupt billionaires.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Congress controls the purse. That's not a suggestion. It's the Constitution.

The Trump Administration moved $1.25 billion to his “Board of Peace” with no congressional authorization. I introduced the PEACE Act to put a stop to it.

Nearly half of Arizona's SNAP recipients got kicked off the program, including 180,000 children.

All because Eli Crane wanted to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

In rural Arizona, this isn't just a statistic, this means people are going hungry.

Yes

One of the coolest parts about Elizabeth Warren's ULTRA-MILLIONAIRE TAX ACT?

It makes the IRS audit at least 30% of the 260,000 ultra-wealthy households affected each year to make sure they're paying.

I don't have to think this through—Native people aren’t just citizens, we are the original peoples of this land. Our sovereignty and identity aren’t up for debate.

An economy in trouble and a nation at war. Must be a Republican in the White House.

Trump ran on exposing the pedophiles and stopping wars. Trump is now protecting the pedophiles and starting wars. #maga

Children die in school shootings and it’s “not the guns”.

Mass shootings claim lives multiple times a year and it’s “not the guns”.

Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 people during a protest and it’s “not the guns”

ICE kills Alex Pretti, and suddenly it’s his fault because he “had a gun”

@jowrotethis I’m starting up my HBO subscription again just for this show, so am happy to hear that you think it is worth it. I can’t wait to hear you and Mallory talk about it!

This is a DEI hire, by the way.

Hey so we shouldn't cut Social Security for more reasons than I can fit in a single tweet, but its probably a bad to cut Social Security (which has never missed a payment in its entire history) at the same time that Trump's tariffs are decimating people's 401k's.

@Eeowna I was watching it live for a bit. I had no desire to get the game but enjoyed your experience so much that I now want to buy the dang thing!

@Eeowna What a lovely article. Your quotes were great!

@kikismith70 @Halo_Knight7 @TaxFoundation China isn’t paying any tariffs for the goods we import from China into the U.S. We are. The importer pays those, not the exporter. The importer then passes the increased costs to us consumers.
