The highlight of my MEGACON experience was meeting up with Travis, A-Make-Wish kid back in 1986 who was growing into adulthood. Yes, God answers prayers, it was so good to see him 40 years later, Wow!

I’m sure Bezos is quaking in his boots at the prospect of having to compete with this “collective”

[Brandi Kruse @BrandiKruse]

Socialist State Rep. Shaun Scott seems indifferent to the very real possibility that @Amazon and @Microsoft will leave Washington if a new payroll tax passes. With a straight face, Scott told me workers could easily form a "collective" and replace Amazon...

Is this not literally word for word what Elon Musk’s DOGE mission is?

Barack Obama “Everyone knows that getting rid of the deficit will require some tough decisions, and that includes cutting back on billions of dollars in programs that a lot of people care about. What should be easy is getting rid of the pointless waste and stupid spending that doesn't benefit anybody. Waste we should be getting rid of, even if we didn't have a deficit.

Sure, some of these cuts aren't that big, but no amount of waste is acceptable, not when it's your money, not at a time when so many Americans are already cutting back just as families are living within their means. Government should too.

Did you know the federal government pays for a website devoted to a folk music ensemble made up of forest Rangers? They're called the Fiddle and Foresters.
I'll put their music on my iPod, but I'm not paying for their website.

There are hundreds of similar sites that we should consolidate or just get rid of. By the way, you're not only paying for websites, no one needs, you're paying for thousands of buildings all across the country. No one uses.

For the last decade, the government's owned a massive and completely empty warehouse in the middle of Brooklyn, for example. Now, the government hadn't been able to sell this building and others like it because of red tape and Washington politics that helped things up for years. But we're finally cutting through all that and plan to get rid of these buildings in the months ahead.

We need to step up our game. We need to go after every dime. We need to make government work for you.”

@JeremyNowack @TaraBull808 Imagine your work told you that they were sending you on a business trip going out of town for a week and then just left you stranded for months - you're a professional, right, no big deal?

@itsNTBmedia Are the buses parked there how they got there? They bused in dance protestors? 🤣😂

🧵🧵DOGE - A Lawyer’s Perspective on the @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump Policy Centerpiece

I inherently do not trust the media so I decided to look into DOGE myself and see what is under the hood. Initially I was quite concerned about the legality of a “new agency” created by executive order but that - just like everything else - is a lie put out by the mainstream. The order is here and the thread is below:

H-1B DATA MEGA-THREAD 🧵

I downloaded five years of H-1B data from the US DOL website (4M+ records) and spent the day crunching data.

I went into this with an open mind, but, to be honest, I'm now *extremely* skeptical of how this program works.

Here's what I found 👇

I love that it's nearly 2025 and Windows 11 still has icons from the 1980s 😅

I agree, Skeleton Crew is a fun and solid Star Wars show for kids. In episode 3 you’ll meet the parents and learn one character has two moms. They just can’t help themselves, modern messaging must be inserted no matter what. I’d have preferred they kept the parents out of it altogether. #SkeletonCrew #SkeletonCrewSpoilers

@Consuelasa1348 @gregzilla901 @iLoveJaneAdams Do you understand how inflation itself *causes* record profits, and if you adjust for inflation profit margins are actually flat or declining? Never mind, you're just repeating liberal talking points...

Never been so proud of my nation before as today … UAE’s 🇦🇪 Hope Probe that is currently orbiting Mars has revealed a striking picture of Mars’ moon Deimos and its far side. Findings suggest it’s not a captured asteroid as previously thought … h/t @SarwatNasir
