The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity:

1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas…
2) enabled by Engineering Innovations…
3) based on Science Research in Universities…
4) funded by Grants from the US Government.

It’s time more people understood this.

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

.@cnn.com What actual purpose does Scott Jennings serve on your panels? He's going to rationalize & defend the administration's actions no matter what. He adds nothing. Ultimately, he's just normalizing really abhorrent behavior.

@kenmartin.bsky.social Ds lost bc they failed to counter the lies and the R narrative. You need to aggressively expose every lie. I still don't see the D party doing that. No, a 150 yr old wasn't getting SS benefits. But the lie is repeated and growing. Just one example, you need to stop it.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

What do Robert Menendez, Eric Adams, Rod Blagojevich and Hunter Biden all have in common? They're all Democrats that were prosecuted by the the DOJ acting independently of a sitting Democrat President. Quite the opposite of the "weaponized DOJ" or "Deep State" that the RW argues exists.
