People who say I am so negative all of the time, IMO, are really saying that I am not being positive enough about the incoming administration. Not having rose colored glasses about a 2nd term president, when they have 4 years of political precedent that is questionable at best

On the phone with hospital billing… no one can tell me what the mysterious “all inclusive room and board plus” totaling $6,978 means. I have talked to SIX people now. They just tried to “give me a call back”. I’m CONVINCED hospitals charge such crazy, arbitrary amounts so

Maybe it’s just me, but sitting around waiting to hear about all the ways in which our lives will be deeply affected by a small group of people who control society while having absolutely no say in it is not indicative of being “free” and never has been.

Vienna was once the center of the world, a city where emperors ruled, artists thrived, and ideas that shaped the world were born. Today, we explore its iconic places that have left an impeccable mark on its history. 🧵

Farmers are infinitely more important to your life than politicians.

In other words ... press passes will be handed to Trump/Musk sycophants masquerading as the 'New Media' when they are the old media repackaged and even more partisan than the mainstream has been. Any 'New Media' who campaigned for Trump or any other politician instead of holding

Trump just cut funding to UN Human Rights Council and UNRWA and said the Palestinians should leave their homeland in Gaza. He was obviously ordered to do all this by his boss who he reported to today, Benjamin Netanyahu. America Second?

After these DOGE disclosures I feel like we absolutely shouldn't have to pay taxes. Until you can show where every penny went you shouldn't get a penny more. This is my most moderate position.

Instead of $5,000 checks to every American, abolish the IRS and the Federal Reserve.

The shadow banning of this page is now utterly laughable. You are not even subtle Mr Musk when the page is followed by more than 722,000 people. But that's a statement about you, not me, and I'll go on calling you out no matter how many you allow to view Mr Free Speech

No stone will be left unturned in our effort to end chronic disease. The health of our children is a higher calling for all of us. Watch my message to America and join me in this effort to Make America Healthy Again.

You can buy any book you are looking for on the internet. But we need physical, independent bookshops because that is where you discover the books you were not looking for, and never knew you needed.

So despite DOGE and all the talk, the first vote the Republicans in the House make is to increase the deficits Trump inherited from Biden. That's why inflation will also be higher under Trump than it was under Biden.

The budget is what matters, everything else is marketing. And so far, the Republican budget proposal is an atrocity. It adds at least $2.5 trillion to the debt. It increases defense spending. All of the cuts don't go toward balancing the budget, they go toward $4.5T in tax cuts.

You cut fire prevention; LA burned. You spent $24 billion on homelessness; it rose 40%. You reduced penalties for violent crime; it's 31% higher in California than in the US as a whole. And instead of taking responsibility, you're trying to become an influencer. It's pathetic.

What is the point of DOGE cutting out waste if Congress follows through their plan to add another $20 trillion to the national debt?!

This app has gone to shit. It's like turning on MSM now. Nothing but noise. Where did all the variety go? Where are the small accounts? Where are the posts that have nothing to do with politics?

Musk says Verizon's $2.4 billion contract with the FAA should be canceled. Now, the Trump administration is considering giving it to Starlink instead. What the fuck is this? So, the guy tasked with making cuts isn't cutting, instead he's redirecting the contracts to himself?

"There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him." - Robert A. Heinlein

Both still happening under Trump right now.
