Happy 250th birthday, America! We got you a present. 🇺🇸

The red, white, and blue stars of this globular cluster shine like a sparkler waved on a dark night in this image from @NASAHubble, released in celebration of the United States' 250th anniversary.

I was never taught America is great because it’s richer/bigger. I heard about the light bulb,airplanes, movies, the telephone, rock, jazz, basketball, the Internet, nuclear power, Ali-Frazier, Thoreau, King, Lincoln, Twain, Chandler, the Hoover Dam and the Fender Stratocaster…

I'm at my desk and it's stupid and wrong to be at my desk right now. It's a holiday! People died for this. And we're crazy lucky to be here. I'm putting down my work and going outside to have fun.

Happy 250th and Happy 4th!

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

Excellent.

They're not freezing your rent, they're freezing your housing providers' income, while their expenses keep increasing.

The point isn't to make your housing affordable, it's to make providing housing financially inviable, so government(s) can seize the unmanageable properties.

Our lack of financial literacy is going to destroy us.

Democratic Socialism.

Two words whose individual meanings few can agree on jammed together in a way that makes it impossible to agree on what the compound term means.

It will mean what its leaders tell you it means. Whatever they need it to mean.

What it really means is: Bow.

Big update to the fraud we discussed in this video. The largest homeless NGO in LA, Weingart Center is under FEDERAL investigation and the court just REJECTED all of Weingart's attempts to dismiss the fraud and waste claims regarding their shady property deal in Cheviot Hills.

What happened? Karen Bass and Nithya Raman laundered YOUR tax dollars through the Weingart NGO to pay 2x cost on a homeless housing project from a scammer middleman; a $16M flip, for a dubious homeless project, all while evicting the seniors who lived there.

Big hat tip to Samantha Nussbaum for doing the leg work on this case and bringing some accountability to the rampant fraud in LA's Homeless Industrial Complex. Are you starting to see how the scams work?

The libs are out here electing bona fide Third World communists to Congress, and the Right is stuck in the Spiderman meme pointing fingers and engaging in stupid litmus tests and podcast meltdowns.

It's time to get serious: Make Anticommunism Great Again.

Wanting a better world for my kid means fighting communism not embracing it. And we are going to have to fight.

If you ever doubt that rage against “the oligarchs” is performative rich kid bullshit, consider the source:

Ro Khanna is worth $233 million.

He lives in a $9.5 million “second home” in DC.

He made over 4300 stock trades last year as a sitting member of Congress representing Silicon Valley.

Ro Khanna IS “the oligarchs.”

As a California taxpayer, I hope the inquiry uncovers where the billions and billions and billions of dollars from fraudulent unemployment cards, trains to nowhere, partially-realized building plans, etc have gone under the watch of this governor. Whether wasted or stolen, every CA citizen deserves justice over the financial sieve that is CA governance. @DOJFraudDiv @dojphofficial @realDonaldTrump

When I said this throughout my campaign, CNN people called me cruel and unhinged. Now, after they helped secure the election for the 2 dorks responsible for all these problems, CNN is now echoing my campaign talking points as gospel. Fascinating!

People acting like we didn’t institute radical changes to elections in 2020-2022 - it’s infuriating.

[Gianno Caldwell @GiannoCaldwell]

The entire country needs to get behind @SteveHiltonx. If he wins there's hope to make California one the best states in the Union.

"A net swing of more than 43,000 votes since Tuesday.."

43,000, huh? Where have I seen that number before...?

Probably nothing. 🤷

[Bill Mitchell @mitchellvii]

I don't have an issue with more mail-in ballots going to Democrats than to Spencer Pratt. I expected that. My issue is the fact that the third-place finisher, and a distant third-place finisher, is getting 40% of the mail-in ballots.

That's just impossible.

@broussard What a moving spoken essay. He was one of a kind.
