For all the “Russia participates in the START treaty which is why the bombers we’re in the open” level of cope out there: No they don’t. They suspended their participation in 2023. They just thought the bombers we’re safe

So Joni Ernst is gonna kill everyone that Elon didn’t. I hope Jake Tapper spends another week bitching about Biden.

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

Poof for another starship. Poof goes billions. Poof goes what little faith fElon has in these projects.
