Our tax system should work for working people – not just the wealthy. That's why I'm fighting to cut taxes for everyday Arizonans and make millionaires pay their fair share.

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

COME WITH US IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!!! Travel through time, defeat the T-1000, and save John Connor. Fun fact: developer Kevin Bulmer pushed the C64’s memory limits to create a bulkier, more true-to-life Arnold. But did you ever save John Connor and humanity's future?

It will be sad to lose the ISS, but space is a harsh environment and it's showing its age.

...

But...

If it had been a FILIPINO Space Station, this is the point where we would have peeled off the factory-applied plastic wrap and everything would look brand new!

It's clear that I think the GOP has used immigration to enrich themselves & weaponize ignorance/bigotry, but something MAGA doesn't get is that MOST who denounce what Trump has done with ICE are NOT against enforcement of immigration laws.

We're against Constitutional violations & open grift.

I’m shocked. Shocked. Well. Not that shocked.

Musk’s offices are crawling with feds. Apparently over this Epstein shit.

Mom got us talk buttons 😯

Trevor hacked the system with cookie & outside.
Pressed them nonstop like he'd unlocked cheat codes.

Now the buttons are in time-out & mom says we “can’t be trusted with technology.”

Anyone else get their privileges revoked this fast? 🐾🔘😌🐾🔘😤

People keep asking if I'm "porting Zelda to C64".

No. I'm not. I'm making an original game which has as many gameplay elements in common with Zelda as Neutopia does. There's more to action RPGs than just Zelda, much as I love it.

This is Neutopia. It's a 2d action RPG for the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16. It's really good, give it a try.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin bought up to $50K each in Raytheon stock (RTX) & Chevron (CVX) just days before the U.S. strike on Venezuela—

Mullin sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee — I’m sure it’s just a coincidence..

I don't generally share GoFundMe's, but Scott and his family are near and dear to me. He has given and sacrificed so much, but keeps getting the rug pulled out from underneath him with broken promises from the government. For Veterans Day, please help if you can. 🙏 🦌
