Hey JD: Here's my dad at age about 30--a penniless war-refugee, welcomed to the USA and given a *free* college education--showing imported Nazi Wernher von Braun around their MIT rocket lab. THAT's how the USA got to the moon.

The chronic usage and combination of the full list of drugs that Musk was reportedly taking and how they may have influenced his erratic behavior cannot be understated.

Good luck getting anyone to do the work they leave behind. #Lunacy

Updated with comment from DHS.

The teen had a haircut today. I then dyed said hair a really vibrant purple. They feel good about themselves. They’re now playing DnD online with mates from all over the UK. Hooting and hollering and cackling. My child is happy. That feels good.

I spent five weeks talking to federal workers about knowledge loss and brain drain across the federal government, and its implications, both right now and for decades to come. Their stories are frightening, but I think it's important to know what we're facing: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
