In Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged," John Galt was the reclusive billionaire who orchestrated the collapse of the US economy, society, government, in order to purge America of "collectivism," of any mushy-headed ideas about "the common good."

@KNBR With Barcelona canceling their Bay Area game due to widespread viral gastroenteritis on their team, one wonders whether the Giants are suffering from this too. Was J. Davis the only one with “stomach flu”?

@SFGiants @NBCSGiants @KNBR @CocaCola Kuipe sounds exhausted. Hope he’s feeling better soon.
Partner says he should stay home & get better.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I will be re-introducing my bill to extend Social Security's solvency for the next 75 years & expand benefits by $2,400 a year. How? By scrapping the cap. Today, a billionaire pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $160,000 a year. Let's end that absurdity.

Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Retweet if Clarence Thomas is the most CORRUPT Supreme Court justice in U.S. history.

Inflation Rate
🇪🇺: 10.9%
🇩🇪: 10.9%
🇬🇧: 10.1%
🇮🇹: 9.4%
🇪🇸: 9%
🇮🇪: 8.6%
🇺🇸: 8.2%

No. Inflation is not going up in the U.S. because the working class got a $1,400 check 19 months ago. Multinational corporations are jacking up prices worldwide.

Republicans are telling US lies frequently, if not daily, on many, many subjects.

As Nietzsche said decades ago, “Conservatives are liars.“ And they may well be less truthful now than they were then.

[Ken Olin @kenolin1]

The Republican Party won’t even condemn espionage.

[southpaw @nycsouthpaw]

Let’s take a beat to reset. Trump and the people he employs are huge liars. They have no history of truth telling. When cornered, their standard way of getting out of it is to spew out a bunch of self-contradictory lies until they find a few that stick in the media coverage.

@AdamJardy FIBA basketball in a ballroom?
C’mon!
How about a proper venue, with proper ceiling height, and stands for spectators!

@duolingo Bring back the daily point counter!
How can users know how many lessons/points they earn in a day?

Keep Christ in Christmas?
Can we put him back in Christianity first?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Here’s a radical idea: billionaires should pay their fair share.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

What if we did something “radical” and built a government that fought for working class people, and not just billionaires?

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

Just a friendly reminder that everyone balking at the price tag of investing in paid leave, childcare, free community college, health care, climate action, and affordable housing rubber stamp hundreds of billions of dollars for the Pentagon every single year.

We now know while Facebook publicly denies that Instagram is deeply harmful for teens, privately Facebook researchers/experts have been ringing the alarm. 2/

[Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein]

The worst mass shooting in American history occurred four years ago today in Las Vegas. As we remember the 60 people killed and more than 860 people injured, we must continue efforts to pass commonsense gun safety legislation.

[Jazz @vubender]

@jennycohn1 So enforcing the law was not their first priority of these state troopers?

Did they have a different agenda?

[Glenn Kirschner @glennkirschner2]

It’s hard to understand why so many have been willing to cover up Trump’s crimes for so long.
