Login is down for @claudeai again. This pattern is getting a bit old and frankly concerning for platform reliability. Do you all have a plan to prevent this from continuing to happen? cc: @bcherny

@Delta any suggestions on where to take my 30 trips, car rentals, and things to buy to get to my $96k spend / year for Diamond status with these new #SkyMiles
Reqs? Excited to take on some generational debt for the upgradez

@Chase / @Visa / @AmericanExpress are going to find themselves out of business if they don’t get a handle on these ludicrous 3%+ transaction fees merchants are suddenly charging. Will revert back to cash only or only use cc’s for risky purchases.

Not sure I follow @POTUS argument about what school someone went to. Can just means test the debt relief and not give to those with high incomes. Seems simple enough.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

1. Who cares what school someone went to? Entire generations of working class kids were encouraged to go into more debt under the guise of elitism. This is wrong.

2. Nowhere does it say we must trade-off early childhood education for student loan forgiveness. We can have both.

@SenWarren Q 5: to what extent did improper liquidity management by @RobinhoodApp who has now limited trading in 50+ stocks wipe out investor gains and cause market manipulation ? Feels like we’re missing an important piece here on the relationship between brokers and clearing houses...

@AOC @ewarren please be sure to call @IBKR CEO to your hearing -- he admitted on live TV exactly how he changed the rules of the game, disenfranchising thousands of retail investors from managing their positions in $GME https://t.co/Ah5UbkQK9m @CNBC remove the paywall!

Can't wait for the idiotic @Clorox comparison by @vladtenev to be played back in a congressional hearing.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

FRAUD

[Ben Chandler @TheDJBC]

Weak journalism from @CNBC on @vladtenev interview right now. Giving him a free pass for literally delisting securities and closing customers' positions at the bottom. Where's the accountability?

[Ben Chandler @TheDJBC]

@vladtenev comparing himself to @Clorox running out of hand sanitizer when his firm improperly managed risk and caused a crash in $gme is beyond the pale. #DeleteRobinhood

[Ben Chandler @TheDJBC]

@RobinhoodApp unprecedented move by not allowing people to buy certain stocks and causing them to free fall needs to be called out for what is. Market manipulation and Fraud plain and simple. @CNBC @AOC @AndrewYang

@_hossman @SlackHQ +1000 can we please turn these off? Massive amount of clutter and distraction. Just spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to undo and it is all anyone is talking about at work right now.

Trump just criticized racial sensitivity training because "if you were a certain person, you have no status in life, it was sort of a reversal.”

It feels good to visualize the moment when Vice President Mike Pence is replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris.

We need an immediate hearing on what’s happening in Portland and the unmarked officers who have been dispatched by this administration to silence protesters.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Speed up the testing.

Sen. John Kennedy, a Louisiana Republican, says an amendment to remove the names of Confederate leaders from military property "picks on the South unfairly" https://t.co/ps0qrArezg
