The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

It's the 80th anniversary of Mussolini getting got and strung the hell up at a gas station. Just a reminder that virtually all tyrants end up with sticky or ignominious ends.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Pathetic. Putin isn't even on Truth Social but it'll get back to him, and he will just laugh his ass off. Just like the rest of the world is laughing at us right now.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

"I couldn't help but wonder how Elon Musk thought promoting Neo-Nazis and white supremacy would be good for Tesla, a company that sold mostly to liberals. I mean, you go full-on fascist, and just like that, liberals no longer want to give you money. Was this just something else he could Nazi?"

On June 6 veterans will march in DC to demonstrate that our oaths to the Constitution still hold. This is not partisan; it’s about service, particularly the essential work of veterans in the government and those who care for them. Unite4veterans.org www.military.com/daily-news/2...

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.
