So true
The US is a great place to live for the super rich and super famous. For everyone else, plenty of other places would offer a better life. And yet, a big chunk of the latter group doesn't demand better from the US, because the former group convinced them that they too could be rich or famous someday.
If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

People really reacting to this without all the details. I am sure there are good and legitimate reasons why President Trump is taking the oil revenue ransom he extorted from Venezuela and is putting into a Middle Eastern bank account that Congress cannot control.
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.
“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Finally got around to reading Middlemarch and wonder why Elliot didn’t have Bulstrode give Stone Court to Ladislaw instead of Fred. It would have put things to rights as far as his conscience and Will and Dorothea could live there. #Booksky

Why in the hell are these clowns deciding what is waste, fraud and abuse? Clearly they don't care about waste in government spending.

As I was driving the Bob Evans restaurant in Durham NC today, I noticed the flag at half mast. Hoping that was to show respect for Renee Good. Anyone know? I’ve never eaten at a Bob Evans, but would give them my business if it was!

It’s just amazing the lack of vetting or just not caring. As a an NCian, it makes me my blood boil
Trump endorsed GOP candidate for gov in NC during the last election cycle, Mark Robinson & wife Yolanda Hill Robinson, owe the state more than $100k for defrauding DHHS through child care food programs.
Don't worry though. They're MAGA Republicans so Trump won't be mad.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
