Not only is this the second explosion in a row for Musk, but this launch wasn't even supposed to happen—as the investigation into the _last_ one isn't done yet.

The only reason this launch went forward is Trump's FAA cleared it prematurely as a favor to Musk.

Now FL travelers are paying the price.

Of course Speaker Mike Johnson is living in the $3.7 million DC home of an election-denying, policy-driving “evangelical pastor who has attacked the separation of church and state as ‘a delusional lie’ and called multinational institutions ‘demonic’”…

As Donald Trump turns the United States into one of the closest allies Russia has worldwide, it's worth revisiting the news item below, which came out immediately after Trump won a surprising victory in November:

"coffee is only good when it is served in jim crow conditions"
Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"

This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

The DOGE website is just a feed of a few posts from Twitter.

Disgraceful, despicable, intolerable.
JD Vance just met with Alice Weidel, the head of the anti-immigration, nationalist Alternative for Germany party.

Vance is the most senior U.S. official ever to meet with a leader from the party.

It's basically this: Over the last 15 years, deeply alienated and lonely internet trolls, amplified by influencer grifters and algorithms trained to increase time on metrics by stewing division, convinced huge swathes of American men that every facet of modern life is feminine and, thus, bad.
I... do not understand this new construction of masculinity?

it's not athletic. it's not stoic. it's not handsome. it's not accomplished. it's never been intellectual.

it's just rich white loud dudes on the TV who look like they don't wash their genitals? is that it?

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual.

Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.
For a third straight day, an AP reporter was blocked from attending an Oval Office event, I'm told.

Are the Democrats going to say anything about the Adams case? Anything at all? Or is it a "distraction" that the US president openly ordered the DOJ to stop prosecuting someone, on the basis that person was helping Trump?
