Pirro said the pipe bombing suspect had "not a lot of social media". She should call me, because I have now found his: Twitter, Tumblr, Soundcloud, YouTube channel, songs he made on YouTube, Steam, and about five fanfic and gaming forum accounts.

In the muppets universe do you think there is one muppet who is regarded as a dangerous conspiracy theorist for yelling about how everyone is being secretly controlled by a hand inside them
The other muppets think this is a metaphor, and he's like "no it's a literal hand inside you! Inside you all"

I keep thinking about "strong floor no ceiling" and how insane it is to introduce a slogan where 1/2 the words are telling a very tiny very rich segment of the population that you won't restrict them at all and 1/2 the words are telling everyone else you'll just try to keep shit from getting worse
A wealth tax is a big tent policy unless the only people you care about are billionaires.
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.
