@FoxNews Trump has increased inflation by more than 40% since taking over from Biden. Inflation in Jan 2025 was 3.0%; now 4.2%.

@kaitlancollins If he thinks that is what doctors wear and that they shoot divine light out of their hands perhaps he needs to take some more of those congnitive tests.

@sama Seems like @CAgovernor should open an investigation into whether Tesla has been systematically defrauding consumers by taking "deposits" for products they never intend to make.

@GypsyPatriot_ This is not the same guy. You say right in the post you know this donor is from VA, not MI. There are literally hundreds of records from "Thomas Sanford"s... some donated to Dems some to Republicans. None of them appear to be the shooter (none are from Atlas MI)

[Richard Splett 💎 @therealsplett2]

@Jamma951 @EricLDaugh For the record, if the new reports are correct that he lived in Altas Township, MI, there is no FEC record of any donations from a Thomas Sanford from that city.

[Richard Splett 💎 @therealsplett2]

@Jamma951 @EricLDaugh That's not the same guy. The one you found lives in Arlington VA and works for rocket company Blue Origin (hence all those donations).

[Richard Splett 💎 @therealsplett2]

@Jamma951 @EricLDaugh This isn't the shooter either but just to demonstrate how easy it is to cherry pick someone with that name from the FEC site (this one is from Utah; there are over 900 records to choose from).

@TheRickWilson To be fair, Trump is on TV 24/7 and his behavior is saintly

[Richard Splett 💎 @therealsplett2]

@jbarro @Scott_Wiener It's not a programming decision. They said they'd only air Kimmel if he made a substantial personal donation to Turning Point. That's just censorship and coersion.

[Richard Splett 💎 @therealsplett2]

@jbarro @DylanByers At the time of that filming, the information we had about the shooter was that his Grandmother said the whole family was MAGA Republicans. There had been no public mention disclosures of the roommate.

@mmpadellan @Disney His comments weren't even negative about Kirk in any way. They were about how the President doesn't have enough empathy to even mourn his friend for 5 seconds before transitioning to brag about the ballroom he is building.

[Richard Splett 💎 @therealsplett2]

@BulwarkOnline @AccountableGOP Surely "Free Speech Absolutists" like @elonmusk will be coming to Kimmel's support. After all, cancel culture is over and comedy is legal again now, right?

@jonathanchait Random citizens plus a large portion that are almost certainly straight up bots from bad actors

[Richard Splett 💎 @therealsplett2]

@Mustang_Scott @severo_michele @billmaher So your evidence is anonymous accounts that you decide are "leftist people" on a site where it is well established that most posts are from bots? As opposed to actual confirmed statements from Democrats.

[Richard Splett 💎 @therealsplett2]

@severo_michele @billmaher All the Democratic officials I've seen have rightfully decried this; Tyler Robinson is NOT a registered Democrat nor has he ever voted for one; statistics indicate the right (though not that same as the GOP) commits more political violence than the left (not the same as Dems)

[Richard Splett 💎 @therealsplett2]

@arcwarrior89 @washingtonpost Um, no. They didn't. Even though a lot of Dems wanted to -- and predicted the GOP would once in power -- they were always told that getting by rid of the filibuster was a bell you can't unring. So they held off. Otherwise the courts would be packed with Dem judges right now

@elonmusk TDL some people have even been convicted 34 times and aren't kept in jail.

@GarrettHaake @OversightDems "It's a dead issue... I literally murdered that issue in its cell in 2019."

@Kimberl62811461 @PressSec It's owned by the known leftist Rupert Murdoch. So I guess you'd better boycott Fox News too.

[Richard Splett 💎 @therealsplett2]

@bennyjohnson So your position is that someone forged this but didn't have the technology to photoshop in "the most famous signature in the world" and instead went out of their way to sign it a different way... tha just happens to match a bunch of signatures from that time period?
