Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Wow. This is so dangerous. I know the thing is just a plausible phrase generator, but the fact it seems to have been programmed to flatter turns it in effect into a lying seduction machine.

A recent report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37B in potential legal liability from 11 fed agencies as of Inauguration Day. As he exits, these agencies are still on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped investigations into his corporations. See what this was about?

They say it can’t be done, but here we are, California is generated 106% of California’s entire state electricity demand from renewables. California has a population bigger that 154 other countries around the world. It’s the 4th largest economy, in the world. Let that sink in. #energysky #greensky

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

In addition, many US cars don't meet the EU' excellent and rigorous safety standards. Plus - public transport in Europe is light years ahead of the USA, so the requirement for environment destroying monster-sized vehicles is reduced.

Walmart's CEO announced this week it will pass the cost of Trump's tariffs onto consumers by raising prices. As I've been saying, tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the checkout line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfVGUiet39E

Once you correctly recognize Trump's tariffs as a way to fund his intended upper-class tax cut with an immediate tax increase on poor and working Americans ... you can't see the tariffs any other way. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Cooper’s full answer suggested they are pairing this with increased pay with care workers. Which sounds good in isolation but…will there be more money for local government to fund higher care worker pay? And if there isn’t then won’t this deepen already acute local govt funding crisis?

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe. But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

Skimming headlines seeing "advances in Amazon's packing robots" and "ai cutting costs.." and wondering what on earth anyone is meant to do now that big business has priced humans out of even the lowest paid markets. Has the government considered how much ai is going to cost in unemployment benefits?

Donald Trump floated a 100% tariff on imported movies after spending the weekend with Jon Voight and his manager at Mar-a-Lago. The tariffs are unlikely to bring production back to the US and risk retaliation, which would be devastating for Hollywood. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
