Aloha, all. Bit of a sad day. I have been on Twitter since Dec 2008. So many interesting, wonderful people, and many great moments as this platform grew and expanded in influence. But of late, the "influence" has become more akin to "effluent". Find me on BSKY. Mahalo.

The early figures from Amazon Prime Day suggest spending is down -10% to -15% from last year. I repeat. We are already in a recession.

Democrats cannot defeat authoritarian fascism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people. We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.

The problem is not the mythical 35-year old playing video games in his parent’s basement collecting Medicaid & $6 a day in food stamps. The problem is over the last 50 years $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. That’s trillion with a t

All too often.
Notice when disasters hit blue states it's 'God sending a message' and when disasters hit red states it's 'Democrats control the weather'.

🚨 BREAKING WTF 🚨 President Trump finally signed the disaster declaration for Kerr County… THREE DAYS after the deadly floods began. 🧡 While families were drowning, homes were vanishing, and rescue crews begged for backup, Trump was radio silent. No FEMA. No federal help. Nothing. Just thoughts and prayersβ€”and a Truth Social post. Let’s be crystal clear: FEMA can’t deploy full resources until that signature hits paper. That means for 72 hours, local responders were left on their own, scrambling without the federal aid they desperately needed. [1–7] No explanation. No urgency. No accountability. Just another deadly delay from a man who spent more time blaming immigrants and waving Bibles than saving American lives. This wasn’t just incompetence. This was dereliction of dutyβ€”with a body count. How many more Americans have to die waiting for a president who treats disaster declarations like a PR stunt? He had one job. He did it late.

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

Oh, just delusion + dementia + very deliberate lying to help keep the base frothy. It must be deemed fraud anywhere that they don't get their way.
Trump: β€œIf we had honest elections, I think I would've won California, I would've won New York. I even think I would've won Illinois." Delusional. Narcissist. Moron.

Brilliant line of questioning. We all know Trumps economic strategy is crap. This nicely and succinctly provides just ONE example.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Democratic Congressman Ritchie Torres just perfectly explained how stupid Donald Trump’s tariff plan is. This is incredible.
