Dear @Yahoo, Even after I'm dead, I don't want my default search engine switched to Yahoo, so please stop asking me 5x per week. Thx. -Mark

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

I am all for cutting gov costs, then and now. I'm even more for efficiency

I would have a plan. Ready Fire Aim is not a plan.

Cutting programs without knowing if they would have saved taxpayers more than they cost, or saved lives, is a mistake

Tariffs, cutting programs, agencies and employees ALL AT ONCE, without doing an analysis of the impact on city, towns and states they impact, is going to backfire big time

Some cities have 9 pct or more of their employment as federal workers. Colleges losing millions in funding. Gov contractors and grant recipients having to close their businesses and lay off everyone.

Repeated in city after city. Town after town

What do you think the economic impact on their tax base is ? What do you think happens to home values ? What services will they have to end ?
What about the local businesses ? How many people will lose their jobs and homes because this was done ALL AT ONCE

Cut federal government bloat in an organized fashion and it's great.

Ready Fire Aim and the uncertainty it creates is a huge mistake

Fascinating. I’ll be here patiently waiting for an explanation from the people who swore that tariffs helped the middle class.

Having completely unregulated M&A if under $1 billion is a terrible idea that would encourage abusive monopolies

Some markets are small, but still important

There's also the genuine risk that deals get structured to artificially slip beneath the $$ threshold

Real-world consequences of thoughtless M&A, without concern for preserving competition:

“…a main driver of higher cost and lag time in production: the monopolizing of fire truck and ambulance manufacturing in the United States…”

Here's how #Trump won:

Fox "News" and the other filthy lying media have created an alternate zero-truth reality, which #maga followers believed and voted for.

All the sexual assault, fraud, Project 2025 support, etc. that is in fact truthful, was simply whitewashed or deleted…

"Four officers who responded to U.S. Capitol attack have died by suicide"

Trump calls the people committing this #Jan6th violence "victims" and plans to pardon them

Keep in mind that Colin Kaepernick was not saying that every police officer was guilty, but that the issue was real and needed attention.

Meanwhile, MAGA insurrectionists used weapons to zealously beat police officers on #Jan6th

.@Jason, stop LYING that Tr*mp has a "mandate"

He won the popular vote by just 1.5 points - the smallest margin in decades

If your points are correct, you should not need to LIE to convince people

FYI @alex

But now somehow Tr*mp is some wonderful person who's trying to help America?

I HAD so much respect & admiration for Jason, before #SVB and selling his soul to Tr*mp

Web #accessibility is truly important, BUT AI-powered browsers should interpret any website as a user engages with it, making the content 100% perfectly accessible in real-time

Better than rewriting 200 million active websites…

Fox News incorrectly said that a car a terrorist suspect used had just crossed the U.S. southern border. Fox then released a statement by Donald Trump where he incorrectly said crime is at a level "no one has ever seen before." Slightly over an hour later Fox issued a retraction.

I didn’t change my mind …

Arnold Schwarzenegger donated $250,000 to build 25 tiny homes for homeless vets in West LA, delivered just before Christmas.

This rioter repeatedly hit police officers on Jan. 6 with a baseball bat. Through forensic analysis he was finally arrested. Will Trump pardon him in 24 days?
