Frankenstein was also deeply disappointed in his monster.

It’s a great country and one of the civic purposes of our schools should be to teach young people to appreciate it and not adopt this mindset that relentless negativity is the way to create positive change.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.

Now it's our turn.

There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.

250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.

Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.

“The celebration is not that we’ve arrived anywhere, but the fact that we are still on our way.”

This is how builders think – The best is not behind us, it has yet to come.

How cool that we get to be a small part of America’s story.

The future is going to be awesome.

Joe Biden "whispered" about climate change by passing the largest green energy package in world history.

Miss me with your bullshit.

All of my text messages include ellipses…..To unsettle and disturb the textee…….What nefarious thought lies in the unsaid…….

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

The Onion has successfully acquired Alex Jones’ ‘Infowars’ after 17 months of legal battles and has debuted its new logo.

It will be turned into a parody of itself, with the support of the Sandy Hook families.

every god damn year I have to spend like 5 minutes total throughout filing my taxes saying that I did not do anything in yonkers

The McDonalds video, initially mocked for seeming forced, becomes more authentic with each attempt to make a competing “correct” version. This is not unrelated to why they dominate globally

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

The White House officially adopts and publishes the Big Lie on its website. It can’t be overstated: these people are the most dangerous group on Earth to the health and freedom of our republic. Not immigrants, not foreigners, not foreign nations. Them.

[Tim @trouble_man90]

This further proves what I’ve been saying: the best way to improve this country is to have two-term democratic presidents back to back. Imagine if we were able to fully execute this graph by handing the economy off to another democratic president.

MTG tells the Times that when she threatened to expose the men who abused Epstein’s victims, Trump called to scream at her.

“My friends will get hurt,” he said.

[Susan @susanbordson]

In 2021, the @nytimes did a rare thing. Published analysis of economic outcomes under Dem vs Republican presidents, by David Leonhardt. This was the headline

Republicans have never EARNED — via actual outcomes — the branding that they're better at managing budgets or the economy

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Shane Gillis nails it: immigration is serious policy, not content. If you have to make deportations into jokes and TikToks, you’re admitting you can’t defend what you’re doing on the merits. Serious governments don’t need punchlines.

[Mitt Romney @MittRomney]

We’ve reached a point where any mix of solutions to our nation’s economic problems is going to involve the wealthiest Americans contributing more. https://t.co/m0zXuXeC43

A functioning society would put these criminals in jail for a long time and it would solve this issue virtually overnight.

There should be special sentencing guidelines for stealing and damaging public infrastructure.

[Matthew Sitman @MatthewSitman]

A genuinely stupid/funny failure from HBO, but it's also rather emblematic of the ongoing enshittification of everything: who knows how much money they set on fire paying consultants to change their name every few months, while the actual "product" is treated w/ lazy carelessness

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term in Congress and I'm very impressed at her ability to get things done. I wish we could get things done for our party like Nancy Pelosi was able to deliver for her party."

[Nancy Pelosi @TeamPelosi]

Thank you, San Francisco.
