I had the honor and privilege to speak at Charlie Kirk's memorial service. Please continue praying for Erika, her children, and the entire team at TPUSA.

@charlescwcooke I’m a squish too. The key point that @charlescwcooke makes is that he and I (and the shrinking number of other squishes) can’t keep fighting both the vigilantes AND the Vi Lyles.

This is why your housing is so expensive

Not Blackstone, not "greedy landlords"

Just your mom, dad, & neighbors voting for NIMBY local politicians who then prevent housing from being built

That's why you pay tens of thousands of dollars more than you need to

Simple as that

There’s a huge wide lane for Normie Health Thought, which is that healthy diets are v powerful, exercise is genuinely amazing, building muscle as you get older is awesome …. and also, drugs are great, GLP1s are a miracle, mRNA is cool, vaccines work, and supplements are mostly bullshit (except for creatine and a few others)

But for a variety of reasons, the online breakdown of health politics pits these two sides against each other, as if it makes any sense to have to choose between “lifting weights is good” and “the COVID vaccines worked”

@awealthofcs this makes it more clear (although this is old)

@awealthofcs it wasn't underwater, the equity figure is already net of debt. Aggregate equity has always been positive, although a lot of individuals were underwater

It is insane that in the richest country in the world, millions cannot afford a home and hundreds of thousands are homeless every night.

We need major investments in affordable housing, not tax breaks for billionaires.

The totally groundless firing of Dr. Erika McEntarfer, my successor as Commissioner of Labor Statistics at BLS, sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the statistical mission of the Bureau. For a full statement opposing this move, read: https://t.co/cbQSs51iIW

This has been one of Trump's greatest poasting days ever.

Threatened to nuke Russia when he woke up, demanded oil prices go down (they did), thanked Iran for telling us they'd bomb us, and now the most insane ceasefire announcement in history.

Absolutely astounding 😂

What I'll remember most about this OKC championship run is how dominant they were in the turnover differential column. The gap between them and #2 is equal to the gap between #2 and #63

what's so weird about DOGE is how asymmetrical it was: they killed USAID, slashed the NWS for no publicly justified reason, and then had no effect on the deficit anyway because discretionary spending does not drive deficits
