@aoc.bsky.social: "Tax cuts cost money. We have to pay for them. So every dollar that you spend in federal taxes is going to pay for some rich person's G-Wagon. And it's also going to cut an 8-year-old kid with autism's ability to access Medicaid. That's what they are putting on the table."

I fear Ukraine doesn't have much time. Trump has absolutely fucked them. The Kursk front is almost in complete collapse. The Russians are advancing everywhere because Trump cut off intelligence, which enabled them to regroup & advance. Guarantee this is the push to the next step.

Remember, science can do the most damage to the lies that authoritarians use to gain control. It's why Trump and his thugs are anti-science. Science is the pursuit of truth, which fascism does not tolerate. Gotta stamp it out, censor it, make it illegal.

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.
