@JoshJunker2 I don’t think people realize what a massive and progressive project this really was! We need more thinking and investment like this for our region as a whole!

More than 150 US soldiers have been injured, 5,000 more heading into Iran now. Trump is a coward, criminal, five-time draft dodging piece of shit sending your kids to war.

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.

Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.

Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.

And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.

Yes, this is oligarchy.

@RedRaven5631 @RachelCoyleOhio @JohnKasich Seriously? Since when is having more choices communism? Having high speed rail would make airlines (who continue to grift tax payer dollars despite record profits) provide better quality service for less!

[John Back @therealjohnback]

@RedRaven5631 @J_Buckeyes32 @RachelCoyleOhio @JohnKasich Didnt you just justify our lack of transit choice based on us having disposable income? Which is it, can’t have rail bc we’re too rich or too poor?

Alabama’s past is America’s future. Ever met anyone who brags they voted for George Wallace?

@Punadude1234 @TheRickWilson You seem to have reading comprehension issues. Ill restate. ICE under Trump is disappearing law abiding people who do nothing wrong other than seek the American Dream. Concentration camps for 70,000 people aren’t needed to get violent criminals off the streets.

@Punadude1234 @TheRickWilson They’re picking up people showing up to their immigration hearings. They are about to deport Hatians who have been granted legal protected status because gangs run their country. 65% of these people have no criminal records. WTF are you talking about?

Trump's Greenland shakedown taxes Americans 18% more for lifesaving insulin to pressure Denmark, while China—controlling 70% of critical minerals—got six tariff delays last year. Colonial fantasies over allies.

Security sacrificed: NATO fractures as Russia cheers this self-inflicted Arctic surrender.

[Richard Stengel @stengel]

The president's threat to impose tariffs on countries that oppose his desire to acquire Greenland shows that he does not see tariffs as an economic tool to help America, but as a weapon to hurt his enemies. That's the fundamental nature of his entire presidency.

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell: https://t.co/5dfrkByGyX

[Luke Goldstein @lukewgoldstein]

The last worker in the US who knew how to make Tubas is having his union job shipped to China by hedge fund billionaire and Trump advisor John Paulson who made the TV rounds to defend tariffs as a way to bring jobs back to US

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Tonight, Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC.

Let me get this straight:

Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds?

Release the Epstein files.

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million.

In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million.

A massive percentage came from foreigners.

It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics.

But few even care.

Holy fuck! Showing ZERO fear of retribution from a vengeance-obsessed TRAITOR who attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election, usurp the constitution, and overthrow the U.S. government, Jack Smith, with ZERO fucks left to give is what a badass American hero looks like.

@RyanJSullivan11 @seandsweeney Architecture…not that I’m biased! 🤣

[Kyle Whitmire @WarOnDumb]

Dear national media: Instead of using photos of LBJ signing the Voting Rights Act, use this one of its bi-partisan reauthorization. It does more to show how far we’ve regressed in a few short years.
