It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

Palantir CEO thinks his AI tech will lessen the power of ‘highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat’ while increasing the power of working-class men.

“This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less.”

So open cheating?

Trump is still trying to find other ways to slap tariffs on imports.

If he follows through, we'll pay an estimated $330 billion more for goods this year — over $2,500 per household.

Remember that his first round of illegal tariffs didn't even work.

We LOST manufacturing jobs.

“So he is using YOUR Tax Dollars to protect oil tankers from attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, which will cause gas prices to go up - because he started a war using YOUR Tax Dollars.”

Defense secretary openly states that a pro-Trump billionaire taking over a news network (following regulatory help from the administration) will result in coverage more favorable for the administration.

we should make American voters get a tattoo on their arm that says DON'T TRUST THE REPUBLICAN PARTY because otherwise they're basically all that guy from Memento every second election cycle.

It is maddening to see people animated by false allegations of fraud against daycare workers making pennies compared to the billionaires defrauding Americans to the tune of, well, billions, all while investing in and running platforms to spread the daycare fraud lies

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

I went to grad school at Mizzou and from a coffee shop writing I watched as people wore shorts at 10am, sweatshirts and pants by 12pm, heavy coats by 2pm... It dropped from 80+ to 15 in 14 hours. I shivered terribly all the way to my car at 5pm.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Growing up I had a friend from New Zealand who had moved around all over the world and could not believe how cheap "petrol" was in the US. He saw how it distorts our daily reality relative to other industrialized countries where gas would cost at least twice as much.

I guess that how much it sucks depends on if you're born that way or if you lose it.
