Apple is a $4.35 trillion corporation. It made $112 billion in profits last year & paid its CEO, who's already worth $2.9 billion, $74 million in compensation. In the past 3 years, it's spending $310 billion on stock buybacks.

Don't cite inflation. Cite the damn corporate greed.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter

P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.

The people who wanted Jimmy Kimmel to be fired over a melania joke are suddenly ok with a UFC fighter's disgusting 'joke' about Michelle Obama on White House grounds.

> save $15M a year by cutting a screwworm monitoring program

Hate to break it to you, Mike. But it is our money. #TaxTheRich

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Expert Ellen Kountz exposes Trump's massive UFC scam. She confirms he became a shareholder right before signing the White House event deal!

The administration is using federal property and taxpayer dollars to completely privatize profits. Total corruption!

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The White House was built to serve the American people.

Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.

The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.

They did not fight a revolution for this.

[Lucy’s Booth @HeatherK9070]

Honor Guards are trained for state funerals, fallen soldier ceremonies, and dignitary protocol. That is their sacred operational mandate. Trump just deployed them as set dressing for a UFC card. You don’t get to call yourself a patriot and applaud this.

[prim @0xprimdotfun]

Spacex is cool but America is basically 350 million people working to keep 20 billionaires rich enough to protect pedophiles and perpetuate genocides on the other side of the world.

[Covie @covie_93]

They literally met in the Situation Room to come up with a defense for the President of the United States raping children.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

[The Pink King @DayalSami]

Call me a hater but I think living in a world where both trillionaires and global poverty coexist is a sign humanity has failed as a species

@Chesschick01 Bet.

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

Per the FBI, Trump knew and funded underage sex parties in Palm Beach.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Taxpayers paid for over $38 billion in subsidies and government contracts for Space X, and Elon Musk gets to be a trillionaire off of our tax dollars.

@puckempire @VincentBerthia2 @LegendaryCraig I mean. Put plainly — when you look at the team’s record with and without him, he was arguably the most important player on the presidents trophy winning team. Kind of the definition of a player most valuable to their teams success during the regular season.

CNN = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
CBS = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
FOX = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WaPo = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WSJ = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.

Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”

[Kendall @KDC1125]

Cowards. Every last one of them.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.

The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.
