These two will lie about anything. Total distortion. If anyone was to blame it was #Boeing. spacenews.com/musk-and-tru...

Shocker. Yet everyone just lets it go on.... techcrunch.com/2025/02/19/s...?

Drill baby drill? If DJT allows Russia back into global markets, US energy companies may be the big losers of tighter margins, and lower prices. Well it sounded good enuf to get him elected. Reality is different from rhetoric. #oil #energy www.semafor.com/article/02/2...

"Pro-life" is a bit more complicated than regressive, misogynistic laws. But hey, it's not about science, it's about "faith". #hypocrisy www.propublica.org/article/texa...?

So, look for Europe to delink from US military contractors and spend their $$ growing a domestic defense industry, screwing big boys like LMT, BA, RTX. Good job DJT, foresight always loses to headlines. www.defensenews.com/industry/202...

Hats off to #Duolingo. My hope is someone will launch a rage room with a donated Tesla or two to channel people's feelings toward our new CFO/CTO of America. I'm sure it would be a heart-warmingly viral event. #Tesla #Muskrat techcrunch.com/2025/02/18/d...

It would be nice if there was an opposition party that could explain to Americans that businesses are run for personal interest and the government is run for the public good. Those are mutually exclusive motivations. #government #AI techcrunch.com/2025/02/18/e...

Yowza. This doesn't sound good, at all. #infosec #hackers www.techspot.com/news/106819-...?

NOW they're figuring this out? You have to mine 500M lbs of dirt to get enough Li for one battery cell. Then you have to leach it out of the soil in acidic salt baths. Duh. #Hydrogen #EVs www.greencars.com/greencars-10...?

DEI may be in retreat but the stories continue to be revealed. Let's keep it going. cardinalnews.org/2025/02/18/t...

What kind of nation are we becoming? I'm getting a serious Russia vibe... #politics www.reuters.com/world/us/fda...

Let's see if the courts buy this one. Absurd. #politics www.reuters.com/legal/white-...

I think we're on the path to a ruling oligarchy, like Russia, where one guy picks the industry winners and then controls (or punishes) them. Ironically, it's simply a newer version of the fascism of a century ago. #government #politics www.propublica.org/article/fran...?

The amount of secondhand embarrassment I have even just watching this is through the roof.

This is not right. It's dangerous. Is Dem leadership doing anything but circulating memos? www.theverge.com/news/614078/...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

So, the guy who rioted and continues to deny his loss, is now shutting down election security agencies. And the Dems... crickets... www.wired.com/story/cisa-e...

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Can someone explain how randomly firing 100’s people protecting and maintaining our nuclear materials will lower the price of eggs?

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen
