Bernie Sanders got an $800k book advance. He used that money to buy a third home. The Vermont Food Bank says 2 in 5 Vermonters suffer food insecurity. Sanders’ book advance could have provided 3,000,000 meals. Bernie Sanders’ greed is *literally* starving children in Vermont.
Sergey Brin is worth $276 billion. He could save healthcare for 3 million people. Instead, he’s spending $82 million against California’s 5% billionaire wealth tax. He’d rather see low-income Americans die & suffer than pay his fair share of taxes. That is a moral obscenity.

Don't start a business unless it's the only option. To be an entrepreneur, you basically have to be unemployable. Being told what to do makes you want to scream. You're overflowing with ideas on how to improve things you don't even own yet. You're just the right amount of broken.

If you think elections are bad in California, think about this: Oregon does not require any form of ID to register to vote. Oregon is a Self Attestation state. Anyone (or any bot) can register thousands... Or tens of thousands of fake "voters" and each will automatically be mailed a ballot. It's been this way since 1995. No ID to register. No need to register in person. No voting in person. No security.

A communist group called the Revolutionary Student Front is recruiting children at Beaverton High School @BeavertonSD near Portland, Ore. for its extremist event on April 24. They will train lessons from the recent California warehouse mass arson attack and the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The group seeks to radicalize students from a young age and groom them to become foot soldiers for a communist revolution. The event flyer being distributed to students glorifies political violence, including accused murderer Luigi Mangione, the attempted assassination of President Trump, as well as images of fire and a gun. The same Revolutionary Student Front chapter in Beaverton, along with a local chapter of the Sunrise Movement, was also responsible for organizing the "student walkout" event in December to oppose ICE and U.S. borders. ngocomment.com

The narrative: The Portland Mayor says the city has a $160 million budget shortfall. The truth: In the last three years, his budget is up 20%, while the city's population is down 5.5%. Yet Oregon Dems want to force rural Oregon to keep funding this urban failure. Vote them out. portland.openbook.questica.c…

The sound bytes around the Pretti story evade both context and personal responsibility. No one has the right to charge into a law enforcement operation and confront officers. It's a crime. Carrying a gun while doing so makes it more volatile.

I have no clue who this guy is or what his political views are. Party aside he is telling the truth about a basic function and reality of American citizenship. These are the kind of people we need leading this country and our communities. Tough, real, experienced. They tell you exactly how it is, no sugar coating. I never say people don’t have a right to protest. I’ve lead peaceful protests and we emphasized the peaceful… we should be protesting in this country, the question is what, where and to whose end? I personally think conservatives should be in the streets everyday for any number of abominable breaches of their constitutional rights. (cough cough… taxes, secure elections). Still I hope and pray that everybody understands the difference between protest and revolution, on both sides of the political divide. Royce White for U.S. Senate MN 2026 America 1st, Just Right™️

This is actual insurrection. Send in the military.
Grateful to all of the New Yorkers who quickly mobilized, put their safety on the line, and protected their immigrant neighbors against ICE's expected raids. They sent a clear message to the masked ICE agents hiding in the garage: get out of our city.

I’m going to lose a lot of followers for this, but we need to be able to discuss the H1-B visa issue without referring to Indians in horrible terms. Indians don’t vote very much and their vote is very much up for grabs. I don’t want them to remember us as the people who are referring to them as “street shitters” and discussing how their food causes diarrhea. I know quite a few Indians and the stereotype that many are giving them is just not necessary and definitely does not help us to get votes in 2026 and 2028. At the same time, I don’t like the H1-B program. There are certain groups of people we can insult because we will never get their votes. The Indians are not one of them.

There's a lot of Vivek hate today, all of it unjustified. I am not saying that the problem demands replacement immigration. So get that out of your head. But come on. Who can deny that he's right about this, and that this absolutely, 100% does describe American society? "A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers." I defy you to show me a single school district in America of which this is not true. Are we going to be petulant children who need to be flattered all the time, or are we going to face facts? Look at the subcultures in the United States and rank them in order of how much they care about those lesser things, and I will show you a list, in precise order, of who is producing the engineers. Vivek isn't a dumb politician. He knows that telling you things you don't want to hear is going to make you angry. Ron Paul was the same way. He told you those truths anyway. Again, this has nothing to do with immigration. These are facts, and we all know they're facts. When you love an old car you fix it up to be the best it can be. You don't shout at people who point out that unsightly dent. I happen to love this country and I would like to fix it up. Politics can take us only so far.

There’s a cognitive disconnect among my colleagues who hated Speaker Johnson’s CR, but still plan to vote for @SpeakerJohnson in 2 weeks. That 1557 page bill was a product of the swamp that uniparty Johnson was happy to facilitate. He couldn’t understand why we didn’t lap it up.

Replying to @VivekGRamaswamy
The primary function of the modern regulatory state is to artificially increase the barrier to entry for smaller companies, so that bigger companies can enjoy decreased competition. Small companies cannot afford the massive legal departments required to comply with regulations.

Repost if you find it offensive when the terms “birthing parent” and “non-birthing parent” are used in place of “mother” and “father”
I recently spoke with the father of a U.S. Air Force Academy cadet He told me that the Air Force Academy’s official forms refer to him (the cadet’s father) as the cadet’s “non-birthing parent,” and to his wife (the cadet’s mother) as the cadet’s non-birthing parent” Thoughts?

The public airwaves are filled with lies, acted out by professional liars,subsidized by our tax dollars. It’s time to return the media to the people.

Looks like Trump is going to win, potential landslide. Leading in every swing state. Let that sink in. PS: Long-form podcasts FTW. I hope to see politicians from both sides doing 2-3+ hour genuine, human conversations moving forward.
