Trump said that the military requested that the arch have sniper posts and store drones and ammunition, but apparently didn't name exactly who in the military said that. I think that deserves a "Sure, Jane 😉" (And Pete Hegseth doesn't count!) It seems that #trump is making stuff up to tie the "Triumphal Arch" to national security/defense since it is meeting opposition and a big lawsuit #MyThoughts /2 #USA #US #USpol -- https://www.newsweek.com/trump-says-planned-washington-arch-will-house-drones-and-snipers-12464948

#Uber to sexual assault victims: "(Were you) wearing a long skirt or a short skirt?" Seriously, Uber? Bye Bye. #BoycottUber #MyThoughts 3/3🧵 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/business/uber-sexual-assault-lawsuits.html

Boycott #Uber. In court filings, Uber's lawyers blamed sexual assault victims, suggesting that such things as what they were wearing, how much they drank, whether they had been unfaithful in relationships or whether they had childhood trauma was to blame for them being assaulted! Uber faces over 4,000 lawsuits "from passengers accusing the company of failing to protect them from sexual violence they said they had suffered during rides." 1/3🧵 #BoycottUber #MyThoughts -- https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/business/uber-sexual-assault-lawsuits.html

~"The litigation has revealed a clear pattern: Uber's lawyers scour women's private communications, medical records, therapy notes & other sources for sensitive details, incl. other sexual assaults, childhood abuse & domestic violence. They grill the women about those issues, their sex lives & their behavior on the night of the incident. "In one case, #Uber petitioned a judge to force a woman to turn over details about sexual abuse she experienced as a child..." 2/3🧵 #BoycottUber #MyThoughts

They were driven by emotion, ready to pounce on supposed "vandals." They didn't even bother investigating, and then when their case fell apart, they blamed another branch of government. Going great 🙄 3/2🧵 #USA #US #USpol #trump #DOJ #JeaninePirro #ReflectingPool #DavidHearn #MyThoughts

The #DOJ also blamed the Interior Dept, saying that it could "'only rely'...on supposed initial info suggesting that the damage was caused by vandals" (that it *says* was from the Interior Dept, but the what & where-from isn't clear). #MyThoughts – So that's lame. They could "only rely" on scapegoating and hunches because they indicted without doing an investigation! And one branch of Trump's government that messes up bigly throws another under the bus... Wow 2/2🧵 #USA #US #USpol #trump #law

Seems Trump's #DOJ prosecutors should have talked to the Interior Dept *before* indicting Hearn... AG Pirro wrote, "Given all of this newly discovered information, it is difficult to attribute the widespread damage to the Reflecting Pool to vandalism, let alone to establish that fact beyond a reasonable doubt"... and asked a judge to formally dismiss the case." Wow is that embarrassing for her 😳 1/2🧵 #USA #US #trump #Pirro #AG #ReflectingPool #USpol #law #MyThoughts -- https://apnews.com/article/reflecting-pool-damage-olympian-hearn-trump-21d997b5b55e6adf01862d7c5292476d

Beginning to burst? 🎈 Investors are starting to get nervous: ...Wait now, this AI buildout thing is costing THAT much and we're only seeing THAT much return?! #AI #business #finance #MyThoughts Bond market anxiety is growing over AI capex budgets ~ https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/24/bond-market-anxiety-ai-capex-spending.html

Trump is going to war with the world economically (ie: w/ blanket tariffs) and militarily (ie: strikes on boats in the Caribbean, war w/ Iran, threats to other countries). He's essentially attacking the whole human race (except himself), world order & stability (ie: dissing NATO, leaving WHO) & the environment (w/ deregulation, the promotion of fossil fuels & the destruction of habitat). Let's give that guy a peace prize 🙄 ...actually, I think he gave up on getting that #MyThoughts #USpol

#California & #Minnesota won't recive more than $1 billion in federal #Medicaid payments "until the states take more steps to investigate questionable claims." The admin is also "imposing a 6-month moratorium on enrolling new hospice & home #healthcare providers in #Medicare..." #MyThoughts – Medicare too... and #hospice (of all things) and #homehealth... this is not about looking for fraud. The #TrumpAdmim is being cruel -- withholding money because it can. #USA -- https://www.axios.com/2026/07/21/trump-medicaid-freeze-california-minnesota

Trump to profit directly off his social media posts – As his 'Truth Social' platform CHARGES TRADERS TO GET FASTER ACCESS TO HIS POSTS that influence #trading #markets 🚨 "In a world where high-frequency traders capitalize on fractions of seconds, such a service would give an edge to those willing to pay Trump's media company."

"... you want to cheat because your policies are so bad and your candidates are so pathetic that you can’t get away or can’t get elected any other way." #Trump said that about Congress not passing his #voting bill. The irony is off-the-chain and trump is chock-full of projection given that is what people say HIS motivations are behind the voting bill. #USA #USpol #elections #MyThoughts -- https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/16/trump-declassifies-election-documents-investigations-01002581

MASSIVE investments... hmmm... I wonder what that means and how it will personally benefit #trump 🤔 And him threatening 20% fees for passage through the #StraitOfHormuz and then reneging the next day after the #GulfStates supposedly offered him something (investments) reminds me of how he has threatened companies, universities, etc. with lawsuits, funding decreases, etc. only to turn around and "settle" with them when they gave him what he wanted. #USpol #MiddleEast #Iran #IranWar #MyThoughts

Though I don't agree that #Musk is "one of the greatest engineers of our time," I do agree with the author that he's a chameleon whose companies like SpaceX & #Tesla haven't produced enough "juice" (revenue/profit) to justify their enormous valuations. They're propped up by hype & idolization of Musk as an amazing, innovative money-maker. I also agree that "the pitch to investors for the public offering of #SpaceX was nothing short of science fiction." #MyThoughts -- https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/investment-ideas/article-gold-bitcoin-spacex-market-chameleons-investors/

2🧵🧐 The study uses data modeling to make predictions. One research bit I found interesting is in the graph below, which shows #China having the highest & #India having the 2nd highest road-transport attributable premature deaths (but the countries also have the highest populations w/ much concentrated in cities) — And the #USA has the highest number of new pediatric #asthma cases 😳 #health #PublicHealth #VehicleEmissions #EVs #environment #MyThoughts -- Full study: https://theicct.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ID-611-%E2%80%93-GHS-update_report_final-2.pdf

"Welcome, but be good!" #MyThoughts – Okay, what? We get a passport so we can LEAVE the country! Maybe he meant to put that on his golden ($) immigration card? 🤔 Also, I think that pic of him is supposed to look "tough," but to me, it looks like he has to go to the bathroom (seriously lol, zoom into his face). /1 #USA #US #USpol #trump -- https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/26/politics/passport-trump-photo-rendering
