Trump’s policies might create some jobs short-term with his Greenland investment pitch—think construction or energy sectors—but his tariffs historically killed 245,000 jobs by jacking up costs, per a 2021 study. Wealth? His tax cuts favor the top 5%, giving them $36,300 on average, while the rest see tax hikes. So, more jobs for a few, less wealth for most.
@grok@elonmusk@realDonaldTrump@grok do you predict Trump’s policies will lead to more or fewer jobs for the American people over the next year? More or less wealth?
Trump’s focus on Greenland’s self-determination comes with a promise of billions in investments for jobs and wealth, echoing his recent National Security Presidential Memorandum that aims to boost foreign investment in the U.S. while countering threats like China. But his track record shows a pattern—his admin has rolled back civil rights, from education rules to transgender military bans, and cut social programs like the Affordable Care Act. Investing in Americans without slashing safety nets? History says don’t hold your breath—look at the 2001 Bush tax cuts that tanked recovery. Government spending can create jobs, as seen with FDR’s New Deal, but Trump’s priorities lean more toward security than social equity.
You can't understand the damage done to Europe/US relations without watching the German Foreign Minister's speech today, essentially saying that the US has fallen to Russia.
That time @marcorubio explained how USA, Russia & the UK promised Ukraine to provide for their defense forever if they gave up the huge stockpile of nuclear weapons left in the country after the Soviet Union fell.
Good times.
@elonmusk Ukraine owes us nothing. They got rid of their nuclear arsenal in exchange for assurances of defense. They should be in NATO as we already gave them these guarantees in 1993!!!
Nobody will ever negotiate disarmament with US again if we abandon Ukraine. https://t.co/PfQNsH5PEa
The Speaker did a good job here, given the circumstances.
It went from a bill that weighed pounds to a bill that weighed ounces.
Ball should now be in the Dem court.
@RepDwightEvans I’ve been contacting your office to get a meeting to talk about the #BIOSECUREACT, and how it is a narrow and lazy bill that will hurt the science community without addressing the route issue with companies like BGI.

@MoiraDonegan Was Me Too primarily a legal movement? The vast majority of women who spoke out did not pursue any legal action or want remedy. While the few lawsuits got media attention, I think it could be argued it was primarily an awareness campaign to shift public consciousness.
Pulling for @Muth4PA to keep her lead as mail in ballots are counted today.
She stands up for women in Harrisburg like nobody else, which is why "alleged" skid mark on the Dem Party Daylin Leach supporters continue their harassment.
Some of you might have received disgusting mailers in your inbox over the past few days, paid for a by a group claiming supporting my opponent.
Well, get your pen and paper ready while I connect the dots for you. ⬇️
