Pelosi is worth more than $100 MILLION. It's obscene.
Quote Tweet
For those feigning anger at the bill name, Pelosi Act, remember this:
Nancy Pelosi got rich on insider trading & refused to bring a ban stock trading bill up for a vote last session.
Congress should not be able to trade on inside information damnit.

Months ago I said that having previously worked alongside several Biden senior staffers, I wasn't confident they'd handle the #Ukraine crisis well. I stand by that statement.

Flying is a bellwether for how society views the climate crisis. If the aviation industry is growing, it means we're still not taking global heating seriously. As soon as society shifts into some kind of emergency mode, policies to rein in flying WILL be put in place.

Landed in the U.S. after being out of the country for a month.
As I opened up twitter, the news of a mass shooting in Monterey Park was all over my timeline.
No other country in the world has this disease.
What a violent nation we live in.
Prayers for the victims.

In 2020, after 220,000 COVID-19 deaths, Biden said "anyone responsible for that many deaths should not remain President."
In 2023, after over 1 million COVID-19 deaths, Biden said "I stopped thinking about it."

TRUMP should never have been president.
BIDEN should never have been president.
Both should have been disqualified for their multiple sexual misconduct accusations (Trump 24+, Biden 8+).
Not to mention mishandling classified documents...

Everytime someone says “but 99% of people who get covid don’t die” I really wonder what their lives are like.
Would you get on an airplane that advertised “99% of passengers survive the flight!”?
Would you eat at a restaurant where “99% of customers dont die from our food!”?
