Sending American tax dollars to other countries is like watering the neighbor’s yard while your house is on fire. 🔥

Seeing all of the flack trillionaire @elonmusk is getting, I want you all to know that I’ve now revised my bucket list to have a net worth of $999 billion. That is all.

I never pledge to anything pertaining to government. The only people who should pledge are those who hold a government office, and they should be imprisoned if they violate the pledge/oath, which doesn't happen in this country, which is a BIG part of the problem with our government.

Thanks for unknowingly presenting a strong case for open source AI and free markets.
Today I'm publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast—much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap: darioamodei.com/post/policy-…

It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.
"You're f****** crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your a***. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this." That's what a U.S. official tells Axios President Trump unloaded on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a heated phone call over Israel's military actions in Lebanon. Trump was reportedly furious that Israel's moves risked blowing up U.S. diplomatic efforts in the region, at one point also asking Netanyahu: "What the f*** are you doing?"

This video was deleted from Facebook yesterday. You know what to do ‼️ Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached.

The situation unfolding right now is the perfect example of why the majority of the American people have either outright rejected or are at least requestioning the US-Israeli relationship. Currently, there is an obvious divergence between the US interests and the goals of the Israeli government. We desperately need a deal to end this disastrous war and save the global economy. Trump obviously wants that at this point and has already said Israel was forbidden from attacking Lebanon. (You may recall every pro Israel account on here claiming this as proof that Trump calls the shots). The ceasefire that the President of the United States of America wants depends on Israel not attacking southern Lebanon. So, Israel announces they’re doing it. The best Trump can say is no boots on the ground and he won’t even hold on that. This is a country whose very survival let alone ability to conduct any of these elective wars is completely dependent on US tax payer money, and support. We unconditionally support them even as they undermine our nation. This is beyond intolerable. You can call all of us every name in the book but it’s just too obvious.
