I agree, though Warren's heart and mind are in the right place

If elected officials could get their act together, sure thing. Doesn't have to be Cuban, of course. Need someone with charisma and vision who is outside the fray. Our current elected officials are more than occupied with fighting in the trenches today.

I've mixed opinions--but I understand your point. Our current elected officials have their hands full... Huge need for short-term, aligned voice and action combined with long-term strategic development. It's hard for people to do short term and long term at same time

Just as long as there's a good visionary and strategist to set the course. There's a huge crater to dig out of...

@karaswisher.bsky.social I listened to your Elizabeth Warren interview. LOVE her, but meh. Dems need to combine @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, @repjasmine.bsky.social , @aoc.bsky.social, and @sanders.senate.gov into messaging platform for now and get @mcuban.bsky.social to lead Project 2026/7/8/9.

Though I would've thought DK would have more value than a second round pick and a seventh/sixth swap. Maybe there's enough WR talent in the draft? idk (no pun...)

Don't even let that thought escape into the ether...

Trading an average qb with a more-than-average salary desire, looking to meet a WR’s trade demand (who borders on malcontent and draws stupid flags) while he still has value, and cutting an aged WR whose salary could be put to better use elsewhere seems reasonable. Season doesn’t start tomorrow.

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

Just offered an amendment that would block all cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and the ACA. Not a single one of you will be surprised to hear that Republicans blocked it.

This is happening because Elon Musk tweeted to kill the December funding bill & all the bipartisan health policies Congress negotiated fell apart. Expanding telehealth brings DOWN costs. It makes health care MORE efficient, and it’s SO important for rural patients.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Senator Tina Smith said: This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

That was in response to Musk saying “Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”

Musk responded @SenTinaSmith “What did you get done last week?”

@sanders.senate.gov and Sen Hawley are co-sponsoring a bill to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. Jevons effect? Debt is cheaper, so it's used more, total interest payments are higher than before? Wonder if credit card companies would want to back this bill. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/b...

Trump Promised a Cap on Credit Card Interest Rates. Here’s His Chance.

Senators Bernie Sanders and Josh Hawley say they will propose a 10 percent limit on credit card interest rates.

@wyden.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com Why haven't the Capitol Police arrested Elon and the Muskrats for using unsecured systems for stealing our data? For unconstitutionally stopping Treasury payments? For unconstitutionally shutting down congressionally-approved foreign aid?

NEW: My staff just got ahold of this memo from House Budget Committee Republicans. It's lengthy and hard to digest but it tells us exactly how Republicans plan to sell out the American people for another round of tax cuts to the rich. We're breaking down the highlights as we go:

I grew up in Minnesota, and my grandfather owned a grocery store in a small town west of Minneapolis. Vanilla ice cream was *always* in their freezer and served for dessert. On Sunday evenings, my grandfather would eat his ice cream while watching The F.B.I. starring Efrem Zimbalist Jr.

Then split the company. Or take the whole thing private. Or privatize just the fabs company and let it get going. US-owned fabs are crucial to our well-being.

Chris Kruell @chriskruell.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

Why not? Perhaps they need to execute on one before the other, but we need them to be successful at both. There’ve been dalliances into spaces they ought not to have gone, so one hopes it’s a matter of focus.

You know, the Russ days were good for inducing stress, perhaps heart attacks. As I get older, watching this team that's aging me so rapidly, that heart attack crap better not be real.
