Social Security is already adding to federal deficits and debt today. Absent reform, the Social Security program is projected to add $5.1 trillion to federal debt by 2032, warn Cato’s @RominaBoccia and Ivane Nachkebia.

While JD Vance says Iranian leaders want to “turn over a new leaf” with the U.S. and suggests we do the same with them, it’s worth checking Iran’s actions. How is the memorandum of understanding going so far?

This is the least surprising thing I’ve ever heard
State Farm is just a massive marketing machine
Their insurance sucks
And if their product sucks, then you can only imagine how their corporate culture is
State Farm rolled out the red carpet for its sales force at a Las Vegas convention. Then the chief executive dropped a bombshell, telling agents he was ripping up their existing contracts. 🔗 https://t.co/lIHBW5koma
@UnderdogMLB@ragazzoreport Anyone who falls for this bullshit headline is a sucker
Nice try to give cover to the Pohlad’s guys
Did Tom leak that to you himself?
Pathetic
In American suburbs, moms and dads are pleading with school districts to rein in technology in the classroom: “These electronics have ruined parenting.” https://t.co/qSkuZQUYg7
It's wrong, before its antisemitic, but because it's so persistently wrong in the face of the facts, we are often left to conclude it is motivated by prejudice, not ignorance.
The fact that Ellison is still in office given that he is on a recording essentially soliciting political donations to help the fraudsters get away with their crimes is crazy to me.
The good czar/bad counselors excuse not going to work with Trump. His 2nd term advisers are selected for sycophancy. If they suck (and they do!) it’s not because they go against his instincts. Also, it’s his fault they occupy those positions. He chose them!
VIDEO: Vice president Vance in a message to to Israeli cabinet members:
“If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have left
2/3 of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars.
The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in”
“I will send it to Congress. I like the idea. I mean, who wouldn’t approve it?” Trump said of his Iran deal.
But his deal is already flouting a key provision of the U.S. law providing 30 days for congressional review.
Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal.
Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.
Steven, hear me out — RELEASE THE ACTUAL MOU
Trump’s people do not realize how bad this might be for his legacy
The agreement with counties not to release it yet speaks volumes about what it actually says
Prove us wrong 🤷♀️
A tortoise named Jonathan has been named the oldest living land animal at an estimated age of 194. (1832-2026)
His species have an average life expectancy of 150 years.
VP Vance was asked yesterday why the U.S. won’t release the Iran agreement text. His answer: Qatar and Pakistan “asked us to sequence” the rollout, and “I frankly don’t understand it.”
Worth sitting with that. Qatar has hosted Hamas’s political leadership since 2011 and has funneled over $1.8 billion into Hamas-run Gaza since 2007. Pakistan still refuses to recognize Israel. These are the two governments deciding when Americans get to see the terms of a deal with the IRGC-controlled regime in Tehran.
Not the U.S. The mediators. VP Vance admitted that, “the Qataris and Pakistanis have been mediating this entire negotiation with the Iranians”
Americans now need permission from Doha and Islamabad to see what their own government signed?
NY requires power plants to purchase allowances for their CO2 emissions. The price has jumped 6x since 2019.
Utilities aren't allowed to isolate this cost on bills, but it'll soon add ~$8/month to single-fam residential bills in NYC (and far more for biz/industrial users).
The key thing to remember about JD Vance is that he doesn’t have any core beliefs beyond striving for power/place. He’s a classic chameleon kid, saying whatever he needs to fit in. It’s why he was able to shift so seamlessly from “Trump is America’s Hitler” to being his VP.
@BenSchifman@AlecStapp I just wanna know which of our politicians are protecting “the groups“ that are the ones suing all of these projects and slowing us down
Who is on that side!?!? It’s crazy
