Yes @mcuban you’re right that 60% of US adults own stock directly or indirectly but what you omit to mention is that the richest 1% of Americans own nearly 50% of the stock market while the bottom half of Americans own just 1%.
With Trump distracted by his war of choice with Iran, his peace plan for Gaza is going nowhere. Israel keeps seizing more land and now controls 64% of the territory, packing Palestinians into a smaller area with abysmal conditions. https://t.co/6bQtCiIMfz
JUST IN: This Is A Pretty Stunning Observation.
Trump is celebrating a new Iran agreement centered on a commitment that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon.
According to ABC's Jonathan Karl, that same commitment appeared in the very first paragraph of President Obama's nuclear deal more than a decade ago.
Think about that.
First came Obama's agreement.
Then Trump tore it up.
Now Trump is celebrating an agreement built around the same core promise.
The billionaire donors supporting Susan Collins have a net worth of $888 billion, or nearly nine times Maine’s entire economic output in 2025. None are Maine residents. https://t.co/DaXa9XOL5g
Trump is getting fleeced by Iran
The deal:
• $24B cash + oil sales
• Just 60 days of open Hormuz
Iran pockets $30B+ in two months
Day 61, Iran can close Hormuz again, and repeat the extortion
Massive loss for Trump—Huge win for Iran
The biggest joke in a century. A serious human rights violator discusses human rights and attempts to redefine human rights. Just shameless. Those who are involved in this are just shameless. Detaining people like late Nobel Peace Prize laureate #LiuXiaobo until his death in custody and disappearing human rights lawyer #GaoZhisheng. Detaining human rights advocates like #XuZhiyong and #DingJiaxi and detaining people exposing wrongdoings like #ZhangZhan. Cracking down on Christian churches and detaining church people like pastor #EzraJinMingri and others. Lots of petitioners like #YangCaiying’s mother and sister. The list is just so long that cannot even be recorded in a thousand tweets. China tries to tell us what human rights are? You must be joking.
🎯 "China’s military technology is miles ahead of anything that Iran possesses, and China can use these forces to great effect in East Asia in ways that make any lesson learned in the Middle East irrelevant. Overconfidence against China based on experience in Iran could lead to catastrophic misplanning that would expose U.S. forces to unnecessary risks."

@DrainedTheSwamp@jd6638a@RBReich that's my point. we are a democracy because we allow voting unlike China and north Korea which constitutionally are still republics not democracies.
@DrainedTheSwamp@jd6638a@RBReich According to Google AI: Yes, China is officially a https://t.co/Fzgz0SdoQQ is formally known as the People's Republic of China (PRC). In political terms, a republic is simply a state governed by elected or appointed representatives rather than a hereditary monarch
@jd6638a@DrainedTheSwamp@RBReich the Peoples Republic of China and the DPRK are republics. What distinguishes the US from them is that we have the right vote which makes us a democracy.
@DrainedTheSwamp@RBReich corporate welfare is all the rich really know. Take for instance Elon Musk who owes his trillion dollar fortune to 39 billion dollars in taxpayer funded corporate welfare programs. And they would have you believe someone receiving 6 dollars a day from food stamps is the problem.
