Here because Twitter's a cesspool.
Father, husband, physician, Canes fan. In that order.
Not what America wants, but what America needs:

Thank our founders for the first amendment.

Impeach now.
AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Musk,

On your way under, notice the buildup on the axles from all who have gone before you.

Tragic.
And predictable.

You can get that same inhaler in Canada, without insurance, for $60-80 bucks.

So having health insurance in the US actually makes drugs more expensive. All so the PBMs can steal our health car dollars.

Cole Schmidtknecht, 22, had insurance but couldn’t afford to refill his asthma inhaler after the cost jumped from $70 to more than $500.
Five days after his pharmacy visit last year, Cole had a severe asthma attack and died.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics. 

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.

Thank God!
....uhhh.....

You know what I mean.
I'd really like to hear how the 4 dissenting justices justify their view that using public funds to teach religion is not a violation of the first amendment.

Rümeysa Öztürk should sue the pants off ICE and Steven Miller.

This deserves some good coverage: tariffs giving “cover” for other price hikes that are unrelated to trade.
The gas station I pass on my way to work has raised the price of breakfast sandwiches by like $1.50 in the last month. It's affecting things that aren't even imported

If you do not believe that Abrego Garcia should get due process....

Trump says "we can't give everyone a trial".

Perhaps if Trump would stop committing crimes and appealing everything to the Supreme Court then our court system would have more time to address immigration cases.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”

This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.

He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

This is not an exaggeration.

I'm not surprised Steven Miller and his Gestapo friends have orchestrated this crime. I'm surprised they have found lawyers willing to goto court and argue that it is constitutional.
I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Boo hoo. Don't come crying to us when the leopard bites your face.
