Iceye:n vuosien kehitystyö tuntuu nyt tuottavan tulosta, kun uusia sopimuksia julkaistaan taajaan. Ja mittakaava on tässäkin melkoinen. Tämäkin yritys lähti yliopistosta, joka on yksi esimerkki siitä, miksi koulutus ja tutkimus ovat tukemisen arvoista.
HS Visio | Der Spiegel: Suomalainen satelliittiyhtiö Iceye saamassa miljardikaupan Saksasta
Saksalaislehden hankkimien dokumenttien mukaan Saksa olisi tilaamassa Iceyen ja Rheinmetallin yhteisyritykseltä jopa 1,7 miljardin arvoisen tutkasatelliittien järjestelmän.

”Tarttis tehrä jotain”
Työttömien osa-aikatulot pienenivät sen jälkeen, kun suojaosat keväällä 2024 poistettiin työttömyysturvasta ja yleisestä asumistuesta. Yhä useampi työtön myös lopetti osa-aikaisen työskentelyn muutoksen jälkeen.

Q 1 is if this happened. it would not be a typical emoluments clause style ripoff the taxpayers. Far worse, it would be collusion w/ the DOJ which is supposed to vigorously defend against such lawsuit and that taxpayer's interests, and an amount untethered to any law.
We’re suing to expose records related to President Trump’s stunning effort to pocket $230 million in taxpayer dollars as a payout for investigations into his own misconduct.
The public deserves answers about this self-enrichment scheme. We’ll get them in court.

Hardly a surprise. Any ‘agreement’ with Trump is just the start of attempts to extort more, as his various tariffs on Canada & Mexico have shown. In that respect, his approach to negotiations is similar to Putin’s. Deals are essentially worthless.

"everyone is 12 now" still undefeated. This makes no sense until you realize their audience didn't emotionally develop past middle school. Just picture a bunch of giddy kids clapping along like "haha the turtle has an RPG and they photoshopped Santa hats on the secret police". It all makes sense.

Earlier this week, Kristi Noem told me under oath that she has not deported veterans. I then introduced her to one that she did deport.
But it’s much worse than that:
@moulton.house.gov got DHS to admit that they’ve deported at least 8 vets and are planning to deport dozens more.

Talk about the feds trying to boss the states around and commandeer them, which the Supreme Court has made clear violates the 10th Am. This is a down-the-middle state function that the feds have no business monkeying in, let alone trying to control.
and by the way, Cong has the funding authority.
