You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

This slop skips over easy to verify facts:

1. Issacman is a shareholder of SpaceX, via his controlling stake in Shift4
2. Issacman specifically stated after getting the nod that he would not be divesting his stake in Shift4

This would be an all time Cabinet scandal 10 years ago
Finance billionaire & private astronaut Jared Isaacman has been nominated as the next head of Nasa.

How might he approach the job, and what challenges await him? Here’s the @science.org report 🧪🔭🚀

Thinking that Zuck has two gold mines, Facebook and Instagram. Threads is a diversion and a way to normalize himself and to piss off Elon. Seems to have worked until he jerked around before the election in a very obvious way. Now, some minor damage control to keep Bluesky from getting critical mass

sit and think about the fact that naturalized citizens like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and David Sacks are gung-ho about this plot.

They see no danger to themselves in it. None whatsoever. They know who this is for.
“Denaturalization.”

They’re going to strip people of their citizenship and deport them.

They’re going to deport US citizens.

Go to it Dems. Unleash the Gods of logic and truth
The Harris camp needs an ad to dispel this.

Show the news coverage, show the shit eating grin photo, show Vance denying they'd have an ad, show the ad they ran, show the Trump campaign's statements -- calling Arlington staffers mentally unstable, fighting with the Army on Twitter. Show it all.
Trump has sold his followers an astounding lie in which there was some sort of major "event" at Arlington, which Trump faithfully and solemnly attended, while Biden and Harris both ignored it.

In their minds, *Trump* is the one who was respectful there.

This lie needs to be nuked from orbit.
