Minneapolis:
Liberals interfering with FBI, ICE, ATF, and Local Law Enforcement were under the impression that this was solely an ICE operation.
They’re actually just interfering in a large drug trafficking bust…
WNBA Twitter: Booing creates an unsafe environment and goes against our core values. Protect these players! Everybody who doesn’t make a statement is complicit!
NBA Twitter: Here’s a photoshop of Tyrese Haliburton on Bin Laden. We’re calling him the Haliban.
Cutting your nose off to spite your face...
The bond market understands what has transpired and it doesn't like it. Rates are rising, and may now move rapidly.
Many of the same journos, politicians and media who thought they "won" by trying to sideline DOGE will now face an uncomfortable new reality in their personal financial lives and those of their constituents as rates rise.
They will then realize, but never admit, that what they did was reckless.
Tomorrow the House will vote on HR 867, a bill that will criminalize private boycotts of Israel. Fines up to $1,000,000 and prison time up to 20 years.
Bills like this only create more antisemitism, and play into growing narratives that Israel is running the US government.
In America you are allowed to hold differing views. You are allowed to disagree and protest. We've allowed far too many people who hate America move here from abroad, but the right to speak freely is the birthright of all Americans.
This bill should not pass. Any Republican that votes for this bill will expose themselves. We will be watching very closely.
Sear this into your brain ahead of the Midterms:
President Trump wants to cut your taxes. Democrats want to raise them.
The GOP needs to get behind the commander-in-chief and get it done.
When one of the most consequential entrepreneurs in American history drops what he's doing to serve his country at great personal cost, he should applauded.
This irrational hatred is merely "Trump derangement syndrome" by association.
In defense of @elonmusk and @DOGE:
.@elonmusk & the boys out here trying to find waste, fraud and abuse while Dems are spending tax money on margarita tinder dates with MS-13. The ads write themselves.
I would measure how much wealth Musk created that never existed before.
Then I'd calculate what percentage of that wealth he kept.
Then I'd figure out what percentage of it he spent on his own lifestyle versus paid in taxes.
Then I'd calculate the incomes of the employees of his companies and their impact on the economy.
Then I'd look at the societal benefits of his companies because it's not all about cash.
Then I'd compare to the benefits Bernie Sanders brought to America. (Mostly complaining.)
Steve Kerr is a hapless rube.
He is blindly defending an institution that:
1) Is a Corporation with a $53B balance sheet masquerading as a non profit.
2) Has the absolute worst scores for freedom of speech amongst ALL colleges in America.
3) Was admonished and defeated by the Supreme Court because they were discriminating in their admissions process and violated the Constitution.
4) Has allowed anti Semitism to fester unchecked on campus to such a degree that it led to the ouster of their President because of her incompetence in dealing with it.
Normally, when an executive at a company where I own equity speaks on topics beyond their knowledge and reveals themselves to be an idiot I usually just fire them or sell my equity.
Fortunately, I already sold all my equity in the Warriors last year at the-then all time high so this isn’t my problem but the total ignorance of his comments still stands.
Both positions -- open borders good, tariffs bad -- serve the interests of large concentrated corporate power and Wall Street at the expense of everyone else.
"Open borders?!? That's a Koch brothers proposal" -- Bernie Sanders, 2016.
this kid is literally the most successful 18 y/o in tech on the planet and he gets rejected from fucking NYU???? lol???
sentiment towards higher education wouldn't be this negative if admissions wasn't run by blue-haired baristas who pick sob stories over actual talent.
