OK so this data is kind of wild and everyone should see it π The states making the most noise about states' rights + federal overreach? Turns out they're also getting the MOST federal aid. Love a good plot twist! usafacts.org/articles/whi...
Something to think about β communities across the country depend on federal support to meet basic needs, regardless of political leanings. Understanding who relies on funding helps us have a more honest conversation about what federal government actually does for people. usafacts.org/articles/whi...
Worth examining: there's an inverse relationship between a state's anti-federal-government rhetoric and its dependency on federal aid. States with the highest per-capita federal funding are disproportionately the same ones calling for states' rights. Data via USAFacts: usafacts.org/articles/whi...
States rights? Fine. But let's be clear: the loudest red states demanding federal non-interference are also the biggest recipients of federal dollars. You don't get to have it both ways. The data: usafacts.org/articles/whi...
Claude, gimme 4 tweets about how the red states take more from the federal government than the blue states:
Hey @lawlerforcongress, the Hudson Valley fought for decades to close Indian Point because of environmental & safety risks. One earthquake later, youβre trying to bring it back? Letβs invest in a smarter future: prioritize solar & stop the nuclear nostalgia. #StopTheRestart #HudsonValley #SolarShift
You couldn't write a more tone-deaf script for Mike Lawler. Earthquake on Tuesday. Press conference for nuclear reopening on Wednesday. Reopening Indian Point is dumb, ignoring basic geology and the move toward a cleaner, solar-powered grid. ποΈπ«β’οΈ #Westchester #NoNuclearRestart #CleanEnergy
Itβs 2026. Why is Mike Lawler talking about spending $10B+ to restart a closed nuclear plant when solar is cheaper, faster, & safer? Lawlerβs "plan" feels like a step backward, especially after yesterdayβs earthquake reminded us why we closed it in the first place. #GreenEnergy #SolarPower
Rep. Mike Lawler is seriously calling to reopen a decommissioned nuclear plant the day after a literal earthquake hits Westchester? 𫨠Indian Point sits on a fault line. Doubling down on a 50-year-old risk while ignoring safer solar investments isnβt just bad policyβitβs dangerous. #NY17
"ChatGPT, write me 4 tweets about how it's both Practically AND Financially MORONIC for Mike Lawler to be pushing to re-open Indian Point Nuclear Plant"
Via the NYT:
βPresident Trump sought to dismiss concerns about rising gas prices from his war in Iran, contending that the price spike βdoesnβt really affect usββ
Heβs right, it doesnβt affect HIM
think the last ones my favorite
From the "SAVE Act" to local purges to gerrymandering, the strategy is the same: if you can't win on the ideas, change the rules of the game. This bill is a desperate power grab that treats the fundamental right to vote like a privilege reserved for the few. Reject the SAVE Act. πΊπΈ #DefendDemocracy
The SAVE Act is a direct assault on the 26th Amendment and the progress weβve made in civil rights. We need to expand the ballot, not build walls around the polling booth. #EqualAccess #VoterRights
Democracy thrives when more people participate, but the SAVE Act wants the opposite. Itβs a targeted strike against women, seniors, and low-income voters who may lack specific paperwork. This isn't election integrity; it's a calculated, partisan gatekeeping maneuver. #SaveTheVote
Proponents of the SAVE Act are gaslighting the public. Non-citizen voting is already illegal. This bill is nothing more than a cynical ploy to purge voter rolls and intimidate eligible citizens into staying home. A total disgrace. ππ³οΈ #NoVoterSuppression
Letβs be clear: the SAVE Act is a despicable attempt to disenfranchise millions of Americans who donβt have immediate access to a birth certificate or passport. Itβs a solution in search of a problem, designed specifically to tilt the scales of our democracy. #VotingRights #DemocracyUnderAttack
The SAVE Act isn't about "security"βitβs a textbook partisan power grab. By creating intentional, bureaucratic hurdles to registration, it targets vulnerable communities & aims to suppress the voices of legal voters. We should be making it easier to vote, not harder. #ProtectTheVote #StopTheSAVEAct
Gemini, write me a half-dozen tweets about how the SAVE act is a despicable, partisan power grab that will disenfranchise voters.
i've never felt so politically homeless
My 4yo when helping me pack for a work trip:
βDad, you DEFINITELY need your pit stuff.β
Thatβs what she calls deodorant
And I'll take this a step further. If they're not questioning Trump, then what are we doing here, folks?
"The Oversight Committee has a serious constitutionally grounded role tied to preserving public trust and accountability. The use of its sweeping authority for political distraction weakens their credibility, our institutions, and our systems of governance. "
"Secretary Clinton is to be commended for spending most of her career advocating for the rights of women and children."
"This particular deposition juxtaposed with the beginning of Womenβs History Month served only to show how prominent women in leadership positions continue to face distorted and irrational public examination."
"On 2/26, the Oversight Committee deposed former Secretary Hillary Clinton on the Jeffrey Epstein matter, notwithstanding her lack of knowledge about the person and subject in question."
Our Town Supervisor said the following about it: "This unlikely scenario belied the seriousness of their solemn charge to investigate events surrounding one of the darkest chapters of US history."
As some may know, our town was required to pay for extra security so the Republican Congress could question our neighbors, Bill and Hillary Clinton, for hours on end at our local community theater, just so they could score political points with their President
