A quick look at PLTR and META reveals that as of today's close, she is underwater in both. Thanks for calling the top, Madge!

Rarely has so much ignorance & ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know JD Vance & Donald Trump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, & destroying the security of America & her allies, but they'd do well to spend some time actually studying history.

Chocolate, I am told by my urologist, is one of the worst irritants for the bladder/body. Ditto coffee. So rising prices will help me to swear them off. 😊

whether or not you’re a fan of zelensky, the usa trying to force an election in a foreign democracy during wartime–when it can’t be held safely and securely–against most ukrainians’ wishes (including much of zelensky’s opposition) and in violation of the ukrainian constitution is unacceptable.

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

It’s becoming very clear that the Trump Admin never had any interest in serving as an honest broker to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The plan was always to join Russia and others in plundering the Ukrainian economy like a 17th century colonizer.

"We’ve got a factory-model view of what education is based on the 19th-century model of students listening to a teacher lecture. We have technology now that can make that an entirely different paradigm. We’re not talking about or delivering that." --Jake Auchincloss www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/o...

When I talk to kids today and they ask me what I would do if I were 12 today, my answer is always the same, read books and learn how to use AI in every way shape and form you can. It is a living library that gives you responses and can help no matter who you are or where you live.
