The sale came just one month after the admin announced measures to support MP Materials. The deal led MP Materials' share price to skyrocket.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

On MTP, Rand Paul says scorched-earth redistricting could destroy representation and drive people to violence.

"We could carve up Louisville and get rid of" KY's one Dem congressman, he says, but that would make Democrats "feel like they’re not represented." He makes the same point about CA and TX.

Rand Paul: "The president also said, 'Be careful Colombia, you could be next.' I mean, if we're gonna go and topple regime after regime in South America, there's no amount of money that could be printed to pay for that and I don't think lives should be lost without a vote by Congress."

Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"

Trump in reference to the Brown University mass shooting: “All we can do now is pray."

Thoughts and prayers play no part in reducing mass shootings. Easy access to guns & the hatred to use them, has everything to do with mass shootings and gun violence.

🧵Omfg. In 1965, to keep an eye on China, the CIA hatched a plan to put a monitoring device on Nanda Devi, a difficult to climb mountain in India, overlooking China.

The device was powered by voltage generated by heat from radioactuve Plutonium.

They lost it in the icepack feeding the Ganges.

Kushner is funneling billions from Saudi and UAE autocrats into a hostile takeover of major US media like CNN. This is outright corruption, letting foreign dictators buy influence over our information while he conducts shadow diplomacy. It's an unprecedented assault.
