The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

The New York Times’ “Moderation Advantage” Is a Statistical Illusion After accounting for money and incumbency the supposed electoral bonus for moderate candidates vanishes entirely.

The NYT editorial board told Democrats that they must discard populism be more “centrist” to win. Stanford’s @adambonica.bsky.social ran the data that the NYT used and shows that the entire premise is false.

If SCOTUS buys this bullshit I’m all in on #CalExit. Birth right citizenship was in CA’s original constitution.

Also did he miss all the kids in those polio machines? What a moron.

That’s still a crazy amount of people supportive of demolishing a historic building.

I never underestimated how prevalent or powerful America’s latent racism was. But I never anticipated how much corruption, incompetence and cruelty my fellow Americans would tolerate in service of base urges.

"Congress approved funding for the renovations in 2008—before Obama took office—'after a Bush administration report revealed some systems in the White House were periodically failing.'"

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.”

- former First Lady Betty Ford

The East Wing is gone.

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

Radical idea: The next Dem nominee should run on making bribery actually illegal. In every way.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump pardons Binance's Changpeng Zhao, founder of largest crypto exchange, who admitted allowing money laundering.

All of the pilfering, vandalism, and outright death caused by DOGE cuts, and all of the thefts from the future by illegally stopping research grants, didn't save a penny, Trump spent the money and more on corruption and incompetent ICE goons.

And “looks Latin American” is being construed very very broadly.

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents?

Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

Some new ICE recruits have shown up to training without full vetting The recruits have had criminal backgrounds or failed drug tests or were unable to meet physical or academic standards, raising concerns about the agency’s rush to hire immigration officers, sources to...

Half of the chuds applying for ICE jobs these days are unable to pass the written part of the application process, even though it’s an open book test.

*The People. They never fail to put themselves first.

The $20 billion the President is spending to bailout his friend in Argentina is almost enough to extend your health care credits for a whole year.

If they wanted to find the money they could. We don't suffer from a lack of resources, we suffer from leadership who fails to put people first.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Learn not *just* politics there, but GOVERNANCE. How government works in practice. Politics is only half of what you need to learn to be an effective and good elected official.

If you have more smoke for Mamdani than you do Trump, you’re not a serious person.

Rapaport’s insane obsession with Mamdani makes him look like his brain broke.

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

Thank you for pointing people at this.

*more dollars

Why do they keep acting like business as usual? *sigh*

To be charitable, I would not have known that tattoo was a Nazi symbol without someone telling me.

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

For the sake of posterity I thought I'd do a thread on all the epically stupid things Trump has done in recent days.

1) Let them eat ballroom

Peter Diamandis tweets: "800,000 layoffs in 2025. 10,000 in September alone tied to AI. Jobs are disappearing fast. But here’s the truth no one wants to say: It’s the start of a new gold rush... for those who learn how to build with the machines, not fight them." Elon Musk replies: "Working will be optional in the future. There will be universal high income."

man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit

He bulldozed the White House. During a shutdown. To build a ballroom.
