United front you mean the opposite of what Trump is doing @jason. And maybe let everyone reply sorry not worth paying for the privilege. You’re making your own echo chamber.
Notice the hyperbolic framing technique, combined with calling simple *morality* as “hysteria” No one said Putin will take over all of Europe. Putin will invade select territories on his border; murdering, raping and subjugating the vulnerable, like all dictators do until stopped. democracies can stop him by simply providing a united front against his war crimes.

@elonmusk wtf you are so wrong here and this explains a lot of how you decide to do things.

Elon Musk's statement on Joe Rogan that "The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit" is straight out of a 1942 Joseph Goebbel's column titled "Don't Be Too Fair!"

What sacrifice seriously you need to get out of the Elon tech bro bubble.
The sacrifice the @DOGE team and @elonmusk are making to save America from bankruptcy will studied for a 100 years or more. A true profile in courage and sacrifice, for which we should all be thankful — independent of political party, personality or personal interests. 🫡

This 100%
The amount of people trying to decipher what Trump means, what his plans are, what his "master plan" is, why he's doing something now (tarrifs) because he's going to do X later... Have you stopped to consider that he's just a lunatic who has no idea wtf he's doing?

@IAGovernor I beg you veto the bigoted bill passed to remove Trans and non binary form the Iowa civil a rights code yesterday. It was so ridiculous and rushed which means I’m sure you’ll sign it. The state has just become an embarrassment to me as life long Iowan.

@RepFeenstra ok so how many people in your district does this really affect?
In 2025, an individual may transfer $13,990,000 of assets without estate taxation. Any amount over that is taxed @ 40%. This bill would be another Republican give away to the immensely wealthy - the top 1/2 of 1% of households.

The problem with the cancel first may work with a company doesn’t work with a government. This causes unnecessary chaos which will backfire.
the federal government has no constitutional authority to be involved in education in any way also, if you've seen how Elon operated with this very site, the methodology is to literally break/delete EVERYTHING and then figure out what actually is important and add it back later it's the best way to go when you have waste/fraud at such an extreme level

@jason popular to who not me and many that didn’t vote for Elon or Trump. Sorry won’t pay to comment on your posts.
When @SenWarren isn’t screaming & she focuses on kitchen table issues, she’s effective — but she can’t help but ruin a decent pitch on grocery prices with an attack on @doge DOGE is the most popular governmental program of our lifetimes — the Karens/democrats should embrace it!

Sounds about right.
DOGE @elonmusk approach feels like a surgeon trying to remove a small tumor using a saw instead of a scalpel, without pre-op imaging or taking a patient history, and also removing organs that aren’t diseased but that they just don’t like. And with med students doing the procedure

Hey let everyone reply to your tweets. @jason
And just like that, the Democratic Party suddenly cared about waste, fraud and abuse!

@SenJoniErnst @ChuckGrassley you should both do the same.
Since Mr. Hegseth’s nomination last November, I have met with him and carefully reviewed his writings, various reports, and other pertinent materials. I closely followed his hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee and gathered substantial feedback from organizations, veterans, and Alaskans. After thorough evaluation, I must conclude that I cannot in good conscience support his nomination for Secretary of Defense. I did not make this decision lightly; I take my constitutional responsibility to provide advice and consent with the utmost seriousness. I commend Pete Hegseth’s service to our nation, including leading troops in combat and advocating for our veterans. However, these accomplishments do not alleviate my significant concerns regarding his nomination. Managing the Department of Defense requires vast experience and expertise as the department is one of the most complex and powerful organizations in the world, and Mr. Hegseth’s prior roles in his career do not demonstrate to me that he is prepared for such immense responsibility. His leadership of two veteran organizations was marked with accusations of financial mismanagement and problems with the workplace culture he fostered. Although he has recently revised his statements on women in combat since being nominated, I remain concerned about the message that confirming Mr. Hegseth sends to women currently serving and those aspiring to join. Women have served our nation with distinction, overcoming immense obstacles to excel in combat and leadership roles, and they deserve to know that their leader honors and values their commitment to our nation. While the allegations of sexual assault and excessive drinking do nothing to quiet my concerns, the past behaviors Mr. Hegseth has admitted to, including infidelity on multiple occasions, demonstrate a lack of judgment that is unbecoming of someone who would lead our armed forces. These behaviors starkly contrast the values and discipline expected of servicemembers. Men and women in uniform are held accountable for such actions, and they deserve leaders who uphold these same standards. Above all, I believe that character is the defining trait required of the Secretary of Defense, and must be prioritized without compromise. The leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate and model the standards of behavior and character we expect of all servicemembers, and Mr. Hegseth’s nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook. Given the global security environment we’re operating in, it is critical that we confirm a Secretary of Defense, however, I regret that I am unable to support Mr. Hegseth.
