How is food too cheap if many can’t afford it? https://t.co/Wu0SrPFtpx

This is actually a good example of why the corporate form is so nefarious. They get special rights (special taxation formulas, perpetual existence, ability to segregate their activities and limit liability through subsidiaries) plus personhood and Constitutional rights, but none of the liabilities of being an actual person.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

.@AOC is right.

CVS may own your pharmacy,
CVS may own your doctor,
CVS may own your insurance company,
CVS may own the middleman between your insurance company and your pharmacy, and they charge you at every turn.

We need to break up big medicine and lower health care costs.

@Delta I am a longtime Delta Skymiles member. I stand in solidarity with the clergy at MSP. No FLIGHTS for ICE!!!!!! I’m appalled at business leaders wrecking the very democracy that allows you to operate.

@SouthwestAir if you are going to code share with Icelandair then do it … none of this problems with Checkin and then charging for checked baggage - 1st bag on intl should be included JUST LIKE it is with every competitor and your code share partner!!!!

Incredible work being done by the press to keep facts building on facts. Grateful. This entire WSJ report overnight starting with this lede on how White House orders sparked LA crackdown is both chilling and informative. /1

The complete crippling of the United States tourist industry is almost complete.

People should stay away.
It's simply not safe in Donald Trump's world.

@musharbash_b Yes of course! The folks from the Milkweed were all over this all through the 1990a and 2000s.

@SenSchumer @JohnFetterman here in gerrymandered Missouri I have no pics in the disaster the House passed. I’m asking for the same from you as I did in calls to my Senators. Do not pass this budget that has no accountability for the DOGE wrecking ball!

@Econ_Marshall 👏 👏 👏

[Jeremy Kress @Jeremy_Kress]

Jay Powell provided false testimony to Congress in February, when he told a House committee that the Federal Reserve had "had no contact" with DOGE.

Turns out, Fed staff met with DOGE personnel in January to approve access to critical payment systems.

Maybe this from @TimothyDSnyder would be of use:

@BobOnderMO I listened to first 10 of your town hall. Your claim as a proud DOGE caucus mem seeking government fraud ignores work @USGAO has done for many years with far more detail and balance.

Might not feel this way on twitter - but back here on earth, DOGE did not have a great day yesterday on the @USAID front.

Elon's attempt to speedrun the destruction of USAID is starting to hit real legal and political bumps.

The pushback is starting - and must be sustained.

[Helaine Olen @helaineolen]

Once again, no one elected Elon Musk to do anything, he's not been confirmed by the Senate to do anything, and he has zero authority to unilaterally stop federal government payments for anything. This is a five-alarm constitutional crisis.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

@MoDOT fix the damn light at Broadway and College in Columbia. At 7:45 am sat through TWO changes for all others except those going westbound Broadway!!!! Not a good luck for Monday morning

@Lone_Doge_ @MshanBC @arenrlebrun And how did Kunce fare? Good campaign veteran (important here) and lost by 10. And ranked choice voting just got prohibited which is the only avenue to 3rd parties.

[love goats and chickens @hendricksonm]

@arenrlebrun @MshanBC 1) Kunce was exactly what you described and lost to *Hawley* by 10! Also there is a history in MO of the legislature watering down the amendments and petitions so let’s see what actually happens with 3 and A.
