To buy a median-price home in the US, an average person would need to make about $107,000 annually, up from about $74,000 a year earlier, per Bloomberg.

Montana Senator Steve Daines (R) says on the Pentagon should have decided to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon over Montana, says biggest risk from any debris fall would be killing a “cow, a prairie dog, or an antelope”. Says Montana sparsely populated & missed chance.

The Texas Dept. of Public safety captured Chinese nationals after they crossed into Texas illegally.
They paid smugglers $35K each.

Humbled and honored by the opportunity to deliver the Republican Address to the Nation in Spanish following the State of the Union.
My message is simple: The American Dream is a dream worth fighting for.

I'm proud to tap @RepCiscomani to deliver this year's Republican Address to the Nation in Spanish.
His story is nothing short of inspirational: as a young boy, he and his family immigrated to the United States with the profound intuition that in America, anything is possible.

Today I introduced HB2552 that prohibits Rank Choice Voting in the state of AZ. RCV is a disaster.
This has support from a majority of the Republican caucus in both the & . We stand united in not bringing Rank Choice Voting to Arizona. Let’s get it done!

Last week, the ATF made a new rule that essentially changed the law without Congressional approval — that’s bad enough.
Now, the ATF is simply making things up, without even bothering to issue a new rule! No law or regulation supports this, but the bureaucracy doesn’t care.

Here's the ATF eForms website.
In the FAQ section, it states only the REGISTERED OWNER of an NFA item can use it.
Your wife, brother, father, girlfriend, or range buddy CAN NO LONGER USE YOUR NFA ITEM, EVEN IN YOUR PRESENCE.
This is a major fucking change.

If scraps the ESA program, there will be an army of moms protesting outside the AZ Capitol like this state has never seen.
And I’ll gladly lead it.
Parents know what’s best for their kids, not the government.

But the result will be similar. Ruben is about as left-wing as they come. He pushed the Russiagate hoax, supports gun confiscation, voted for abortion up through the moment of birth, and supported every tax and spend bill Pelosi put in front of him. No thank you

Good to see Ruben Gallego venture out of his D+50 district, the last time he did that was to chair the “Eric Swalwell for President” campaign. Ruben’s scandals do not include sleeping with a Chinese spy, so he will probably do better than Swalwell’s 1%.

Every member of Congress needs to be all over this. And we should support groups like who will sue to stop it. Even if you don’t care about gun rights specifically, this process by which unelected bureaucrats grab ever-more power is dangerous and must end.

The Biden ATF’s rule banning pistol braces is unconstitutional twice over. It violates Congress’ Article 1 legislative power. It’s also a direct 2A violation.
Now, 10 million+ law-abiding citizens will be threatened with felonies unless they disassemble or register their guns.

- Slashing $12 million from border strike force
- Full removal of ESA funding
- $7 million to investigate police officers
- $40 million for illegal aliens to attend state colleges

So buckle up for a lot of left-wing power grabs & a local media that covers for them. Support our Republican majorities in the legislature as they work to block this junk and work to craft a positive agenda that treats Arizona children as human beings, not political instruments.

Watch Katie Hobbs and the Dem AG triple down on all this. Ignore the banal ghostwritten speeches — we’ve already seen how extreme they intend to be. Hobbs is focused on mandating gender pronouns in schools. The AG’s first act in office was to baselessly defame .

Of course, when I would warn Arizonans about “critical theory” and other “anti-racist” garbage while campaigning, the media would breathlessly insist that our terminology was wrong, and besides this stuff doesn’t exist. Here’s disgraced journalist @DillonReedRose on the matter:

Tens of millions of Americans use gas stoves. They're affordable, practical, and popular.

America ran out of frontier when we hit the Pacific. That changed things.
The American dream reached its apotheosis in California. After WW II, the state became our collective tomorrow. But today, it looks more like a future we should avoid.

My guess is the hardest part of the job is the near-term economics: making sure Twitter doesn’t go bankrupt and can deal with its debt. Yet only a longer-term product focus can take Twitter to the next level. A tough tightrope, but I wouldn’t bet against Elon or whoever he taps.

Finally — the business side. I think in the medium- and long-term, the above approach would make Twitter profitable and way more valuable. But while I don’t know details, I imagine that the immediate financial constraints are pretty severe.

There are so many things Twitter can do to grow up and be 10x more valuable to society. Build new things that complement what Twitter is, without ruining what it’s already good at. Rethink and expand the ways it makes money. And bring all sides back to the table.

That person should prioritize coexistence, rather than take the easy way out and try to decimate enemies. Twitter should be the place where people have the opportunity to change their mind.

I don’t trust the modern left to run Twitter, for obvious reasons. Their authoritarian impulse is too high. But I’d want their input. I’d trust someone actually centrist, or someone on the right who believes in free speech, to actually administer and implement.

Then I’d talk to . Frankly I can’t stand her, her politics, her affect, etc. But she spoke intelligently about Twitter the other night on an IG live and, in the interest of building a healthy town square, I think there’s a conversation to be had.

This doesn’t mean advertising goes away, but I think it’s a good goal to make a product that people want to pay for. And to make a product that financially rewards its most productive community members.

Twitter should continue to pursue product design that aligns the incentives of its users and its revenue, by drastically building out subscription models that benefit both the company, and its creators.

The era of paid advertising on the internet isn’t over, but it’s clear that the past 20 years has been a period of “raiding the kitchen”, with some devastating consequences for society. We should use products, not be the product. Products should help us, not divide and outrage us

Twitter has a real advantage because it’s attached to a viral social network driven by people. The other medium of news, writing, is another obviously complementary product. How is Substack not already part of Twitter, not only as a product feature, but a business model?

My Senate campaign this past year focused heavily on online video, esp to gain traction early when no one knew who I was. We got ~13M organic views here on Twitter alone, and yet, Twitter is an awful video platform. YouTube is so lucky no one at Twitter has cared much about video
