Beaver programs are the best dam documentaries.

#Education and #welfare payments both have positive economic returns.

I am not kidding. Look it up.

If you give a poor person 1$ it has a return of about 1.34$ (AU).

Education is a harder one to estimate, for a doctor it's a return of 3.5 at least or up to 20% per annum.

Considering doctors also heal the public, keep people healthy and so on they increase the return in other ways.

You're never wasting money by giving it to the poor, housing them, or paying for education. It's an INVESTMENT.

In their efforts to forge a united front & make #Putin accept a ceasefire, leaders of #Ukraine & #Europe have been repeatedly thrown off balance by interventions from #Trump.

Having publicly told #Zelensky to accept #Russia's offer of direct talks in Turkey, Trump declared on the eve of the meeting that there could be no movement on peace until he himself had met with Putin.

#geopolitics

Here we go. Holocaust “skepticism”, hot on the heels of “white genocide”. Elected democratic officials should leave X immediately.

An air traffic control outage just hit Colorado, too. #NotJustNewark

"#Trump suggests US ‘take’ #Gaza, make it ‘freedom zone’."

More of this messaging, please, Holy Mike!

"Johnson noted that Congressional salaries have been frozen since 2009 while speaking to press on Wednesday. 'When you adjust for inflation...Congress today is making 31% less than they made in that year. It goes down every year,' he said."

Who wants to tell him about the minimum wage??

Or how much pain and death his policies will needlessly cause working class MAGAs?

Keep talking Mike. Keep talking.

RFK Jr on the cost of drug rehab treatment: "There are many really gold star rehabs that do it for a tiny fraction, like $20,000 to $40,000 a month."

The #ConvictedFelon in the WH thinks it is perfectly fine for another country to "gift" him a $400 Million dollar plane for his personal use that he says America "would be a fool to refuse".

So WHERE DOES HE DRAW THE LINE? Would giving him a BRIEFCASE containing $400M in cash be acceptable?

No?

Then just buy $400M worth of his "T**** branded #crypto meme coins". Apparently, THAT'S just fine too. NO CASH. All #Emoluments must be #laundered first.

This is a gigantic emolu-f*ing-ment. Any member of Congress - including Speaker Johnson - who claims to be a Constitutional scholar and defender of same who blocks Congressional oversight of POTUS is lying to you about their skills & morals. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/us/politics/trump-crypto-purchase.html

"The choice of the three Middle East nations was intentional, of course. Trump & his family have extensive business ties with each of these oil-rich states, and Trump saw an opportunity to bring his top corporate donors and big petrol dollars together. …

This vulgar sucking up to wealthy Arab states—along with shady transactions that lack transparency and line the pockets of Trump and his friends—directly threatens our national security."

BREAKING: #Sanctions on Syria—lifted.
The catch? Their new leader, a former #AlQaeda militant tied to U.S. troop deaths, just offered #Trump a golden carrot: Trump Tower Damascus.

A known #terrorist dangles real estate and suddenly decades of U.S. foreign policy vanish.

Corruption this blatant shouldn’t even be possible.
