Exactly. The 130-day limit just happened to be the one law Elon Musk decided to comply with? Nonsense. The ketamine-infused crackpot had his ass handed to him by the courts and by public opinion and—most deliciously—by his own jackassery. LMAO and good riddance.

These SpaceX failures are being financed by taxpayer dollars. So far, over $7,000,000,000. So this is actual government waste, unlike the alleged waste at Social Security that DOGE was unable to find.

American women aren’t stupid and can see that the Trump administration is using a junk study to lay the groundwork to roll back abortion access nationwide. I’m going to do everything I can to make sure women across the country have access to the reproductive care they need.

A student said to me at an event today, ‘I’d love to speak out and say stuff but I can’t because I’m on a visa.’ What has happened to America? Trump and Rubio and MAGA have killed free speech and the First Amendment in this country.

This really is Liberation Day: The U.S. Court of International Trade this afternoon struck down Trump’s mass tariffs as unlawful. It’s a fantastic win for the rule of law, human freedom, and prosperity, and a deserved rebuke for arbitrary one-man rule over our livelihoods. /1

NEW: @nbcnews.com reports that an immigration judge dismissed the asylum case of Andry Hernandez, the innocent man currently imprisoned without trial in El Salvador pursuant to a deal between the Trump admin and Nayib Bukele. His lawyers argue that this is an attempt to "complete the disappearance."

Trump has removed another top Black government official, ousting Mike Nedd, the deputy director of the Bureau of Land Management. Nedd worked for the Department of Interior for 35 years -- 30 in the bureau that oversees oil, natural gas, and mineral production on 245 million acres of federal land.

No matter how slippery the SpaceX fans get in their defenses ("you don't understand, we learned so much!") the fact is these tests are waaaaay past the "experiments sometimes fail" stage. These are tests of what's supposed to be a working design and build. But it doesn't work. It blows up.

Leaders model behavior in their followers. Pete Buttigieg is an excellent model. And his supporters really deserve a great deal of credit for following his "Rules of the Road." I would give Bernie Sanders as an example of someone who does not model good behavior for his followers.
