Bezos went on CNBC yesterday and said "You could double the taxes I pay and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens." And all the bureaucrats and socialists lost their minds. Promise the teacher a raise. Tax everyone. Launder the money through Washington. Then blame the billionaire. We aren't morons Ro, we've seen this before. Bezos said the bottom half of earners should pay zero federal income tax. A nurse in Queens making $75K hands the IRS $12K a year. He said cut it to zero. She keeps her full paycheck. No bs refund, paperwork or shady government program. Simple. They won't do it. And you should ask yourself why. They don't ACTUALLY want to help anyone. They just want to pretend they tried and get your votes while making you hate the ppl they scammed. They want the money to flow through Washington, the city, every ponzi department and consultant and charity so each one can wet their beak. By the time it reaches the teacher it's maybe $100, if that... And then they'll blame the billionaire who hasn't paid their "fair share." Right Warren??? Lets take a gander at Mamdani's education budget. NYC spends $42K per student per year, 3x the national average ($15K). Highest in America. Florida pays $9K. NYC spends more per pupil than most people pay for private school or college. Its frickn insane. The budget has gone up every year, enrollment has gone down. With all that money only 3 out of 10 kids can read in the 8th grade. Cuba can read better english and they speak spanish lol. So where is the money going? Def not to teachers. but shh, ro doesn't want you to know that. A starting teacher in NYC makes $65K. Mamdani's city spends $42K per kid, runs a $40B budget. You could pay every teacher six figures with that money and have 12 kids per a classroom. But thats too logical. It goes to administrators. Consultants. Overtime. Unions. Friends and family businesses. Pensions for people who left a decade ago. Studies about studies. Buildings that take ten years to renovate. Everyone else but the kids, teachers and actual schools THERE IS ENOUGH MONEY. Politicians decide where the money goes. Teachers are underpaid because of how government spends money. Not because Bezos doesn't pay enough. Then they stand outside a billionaire's apartment with a camera and tell you he's the problem. That's the SCAM. Ro Khanna says tax billionaires to fund $60K teacher salaries. NYC already spends enough to fund $100K teacher salaries. The money's there, Ro. Your people are the ones who won't give it to her. Federal level is the same story. DOE spending up 649% since 2000 and kids aren't any smarter. GAO found $186 billion in improper payments last year. $3 trillion in errors since 2003. It’s criminal. Stop taxing the nurse. No bureaucracy. Just let the woman keep her full paycheck. Outrage is deflection. They'd rather she pay. Because her keeping her own money doesn't fund the machine and they lose the one thing that keeps the whole racket going: a billionaire to blame.

Weeeelllll, I guess @Starlink Mobile is doing something right! It’s David and Goliath (X3) all over again — I’m bettin’ on David :)
Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile said on Thursday they agreed in principle to form a new JV with an aim to address long-time coverage gaps, especially in rural areas, by using satellite-based technologies. This comes as the industry increasingly worries about what Elon Musk’s @Starlink Mobile might do to shake up the terrestrial mobile space. Musk has said he’s not going to put the U.S. terrestrial carriers out of business, but at the same time he’s expanding Starlink and buying up more spectrum...

It is time for the United States Postal Service to ban junk mail. Unsolicited spam calls are already prohibited by the FCC. Emails are heavily regulated by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Junk mail is the majority of mail, 100 million trees per year. Enough!

my parents bought a tesla model 3 and there's nothing else like it. the most astonishing capability is self-driving. their tesla can drive them from their driveway to their destination, including parking in a busy parking lot, without disengaging once. comparing Tesla's self-driving to other automakers is like comparing an iPhone 17 to one of those grey brick phones from the 80s. it's kind of embarrassing. a week before they bought the tesla, my dad told me he didn't think he'd be driving much longer since he's pretty old. the tesla just extended his independence by years. feeling grateful for all tesla has done.

Platner has a Nazi tattoo. Platner promoted Hamas. Platner has been criticized for victim blaming those who were raped. We seem to have a slightly different definition of “decent”.

The tattoo on his chest is not just a swastika it's not just a Nazi symbol. It's VERY specific. The tattoo of "Totenkoof"that he has on his chest is of the Nazi watch guards who stood over concentration camps watchtowers and purposely shot Jews at will from within those walls. This is what pod save America is now this is what the political and electoral left is now.
Graham Platner isn’t just our best and only chance to beat Susan Collins, he’s a good, decent man who’s struggled and grown and is always trying to do better. I hope everyone with reservations takes a little time to get to know the real life version of him, not what the algorithm throws in our faces. Clearly, that’s what so many people in Maine have done - from all different walks of life and political persuasions.

On Tuesday, we had an event with a largely Jewish audience. A question came up about why I as a Hindu or other non-Jewish residents of CA-17 would care about Jewish issues. The reasons are two fold: 1. Racism, atrocities committed against any of my neighbors are morally my responsibility to stop. 2. Indian immigrants, Chinese immigrants, Vietnamese immigrants, Hispanic immigrants, we are all aware of the slippery slope of turning a blind eye to acts of racism against any group. Because all these groups are only two or three generations removed from witnessing similar atrocities in their history, and we won't stand for this to happen again, to anyone, anywhere. First They Came by Niemoller captures this sentiment perfectly. This is why @RoKhanna 's incessant anti-Semitic whistle blowing is so dangerous.
81 years ago today, the men of Easy Company discover Kaufering IV, a satellite camp of the Dachau concentration camp system in Bavaria.

Step 1: Tax the millionaires Step 2: Laugh at them when they leave the state Step 3: Tax the middle class to make up for all the millionaire money that left the state These are the extremely predictable consequences of voting for socialists.
INSANE. Seattle's Socialist Mayor responds to exodus of wealth from Washington state by saying "BYE" ... then laughing. We're doomed.

Last week, Gazan women testified to a system of rape by Hamas to Palestinian women living in tents. This week, Gazan children testified to being raped by Hamas clerics. Not a word about it the New York Times, UN, or Cenk Uygur. Weird.

I bought a Tesla. Never thought I’d get an electric vehicle, but took a ride in a buddy’s Tesla and changed my mind. I’ve been using the supervised self-driving mode for my daily commute into DC. It’s pretty amazing. Today the car suddenly moved into the left lane, very abruptly. In that split second a very large piece of debris blew into the lane I had been in. The Tesla self driving system saw what I couldn’t see. When I drive I can only see from the perspective of the driver side front seat. The Tesla has multiple censors with different angles of view. It saw what I couldn’t. Importantly, even I I had seen it at the same time, the split second that it would have taken me to check blind spots and then consciously make the decision to move over would have taken too long. The Tesla knew all these variables simultaneously and almost instantly and was able to avoid impact safely. Well done @elonmusk and @Tesla team.

Test drove a Tesla for an hour today and ran FSD nearly the entire time It was ridiculously good. Almost certainly a better driver than humans Navigated heavy traffic and construction, went around a stopped delivery truck, handled roundabouts, moved out of my lane when the car next to me drifted over the line, stopped for pedestrians. All flawlessly I’ve always said if Tesla made a better car than an ICE vehicle, I’d consider buying one. But this is beyond EV vs ICE. It’s AI car vs non-AI car. And owning one that drives itself is becoming undeniably compelling A personal driver used to be a luxury only the ultra rich could afford. Now you can get one for $100 a month The robots are coming quicker than we think. If we can solve driving, everything else isn’t far behind
