President Trump made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room to mark his first year in office, delivering a rambling, unfiltered monologue that previewed a second year shaped by few constraints.

To be clear, I believe the filibuster should only be set aside to pass an Election Integrity Act.

Election security isn’t optional it must include a visual ID proving citizenship and in-person voting, except in extreme cases like deployed troops. For everything else, the filibuster stays.”

Trump coming in strong again with the delusions. And I mean that in the most clinical sense of the word, as in “a false belief not based in reality.”
Trump on his message in Davos: "The primary message is how well the United States is doing. And I say it all the time -- a year and half ago we were a dead country, and now we have the hottest country in the world"

Starbase is no stranger to big cranes, although this time the task is less about building launch sites and more about the infrastructure that supplies them.

Wenn Starlink brauchbare (europäische) Konkurrenz hätte, müsste man in schlecht mit Internet versorgten Gebieten diesem Ganoven hier nicht Geld geben, das er dann für ranzige politische Zwecke benutzt.
