The FAA is awarding a new contract to Elon Musk’s SpaceX to help manage US airspace.
This is on top of the tens of billions of dollars in federal government contracts that Musk’s companies have already secured.

They’re testing. It wasn’t a “glitch” that turned off Medicaid portals. They’re seeing which things they can delete without a fight.
Vets benefits? Abuse shelters? Aid to children? Cancer research?
They don’t care who gets hurt. Just what they can get away with.

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.
We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm.
Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.
