You either care about politics, or the world will force you to care.

Russ Vought set up a CFPB snitch line where you can report any work by the agency still trying to do its job as legally mandated by Congress. It would be a real shame if this was flooded with false tips and wild goose chases... x.com/CFPB_tipline

What a shock that within days of Trump taking office, there is widespread chaos across numerous areas of American life. Was really hard to predict.

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.

Trump just withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization. The US is now the only country in the world besides Liechtenstein to not be a member of the organization.

Trump has still not introduced a single plan or policy to lower grocery prices. But he is taking action on day one to raise prices.

California housing is not expensive because we are running out of land. You can get a pretty cheap house in the Central Valley. California housing is expensive because we use zoning to cap the number of homes that can be built in the places with jobs and economic opportunity.

Mark Cuban's fortune is built on discerning value that others don't yet see, parking himself in that position & then selling very high. What he noticed is that westerners yearn for a benevolent billionaire, so he has stepped exactly one step to the left of Musk & Zuck. And you fucking love it.

Democratic lawmakers in California, Colorado, New Jersey, New York and Virginia have all introduced bills to ban corporate landlords from using pricing software that enables collusion and leads to increased rents.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.
The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions:

1. Insults about:

Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality.

Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits.

2. Highlighted section:

The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

I’m walking through the Capitol this morning and took some photos in the same spots as what we saw 4 years ago
Thread of side-by-side photo comparisons from 1/6/21 and 1/6/25. Photos compare scenes four years apart from the Capitol Rotunda. On the left is 1/6/21 photo, on the right is photo from 1/6/25.

Pierre Poilievre: "All the socialist policies, in practice, take, redistribute from the working-class to the super wealthy, in practice." Literally describing capitalism but calling it socialism.

My two boys printed their own business cards to give out to people at the Capitol during my Senate Swearing-In today. Here they are giving their cards to VP Kamala Harris. They told her to “stay in touch.”
