Thank you from Ohio, Senator Booker 💙

Behind a paywall 🤦🏻

To everyone who wants this explained… my take? It’s meant to:
1.) Grab attention
2.) Appeal to an audience that doesn’t listen to MeidasTouch or Rachel Maddow.

I think it’s the same general idea of people who thought Kamala should go on Rogan. Not saying I agree, but I think that’s the theory.

I wondered if this is the prelude to a push for normalizing trade relations with Russia.
“Man our economy is in the 💩er, wouldn’t it be nice, my fellow millionaires and billionaires, to have a completely new frontier ripe for investment?”

He recently said “She is SO SMART! She should run for president!!!”

You’ve got a new fan 😁❤️

I may need some help to understand - doesn’t the budget framework call for $880bn to be spread out over 10 years? Or is that $880bn cut each of the next 10 years?

Same.
In fairness, there WERE high profile people that walked out of the address, and people who didn’t attend in the first place.

Maybe the thought is the GOP has their bombs throwers and we’ve got our fighters, and they’ve got a long leash but the whole caucus won’t be as outspoken?

I am pissed off. I’d like to feel like my anger and frustration is represented by those elected to represent me, but there seems to be far too much “business as usual” among most democrats.

Finally a President in the White House that wants to speak on behalf of all Americans 😉

Are we cooked?

His hands are also very small.

I don’t think musk is saying what you think he is.

They’re trying to say the courts checking Trumps power is a judicial coup, not that they themselves are doing a coup.

(To be clear, they’re wrong- but they aren’t admitting to doing a coup here)

5/5 🧵 Because they haven't shown any capability or desire to demonstrate empathy and understanding to build something that WORKS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, efficiently.

4/5 🧵 Elon and Vivek are cold, calculating people. They haven't shown they're capable of empathy and understanding. They'll make gov't more "efficient", maybe, but it'll just deliver the same sh*tty product people are pissed off with, but with fewer resources.

3/5 🧵 It has to be driven by the warmth of things like empathy and understanding.

This is why I think Elon and Vivek fail. I think they'll focus on business efficiency and will completely miss on effectiveness (which is ultimately what the people want).

2/5 🧵 then that thing is more efficient.
I think the frustration with gov't isn't that it takes too many resources, but that it is ineffective.

I believe that gov't is, ultimately, a tool to help people. A cold, calculated view of dollars and cents can't be the driving force.
