Let’s check the score here: TSA bungling puts a man on the watchlist who, in the end, shouldn’t have been there. A Senator cuts through red tape and gets this corrected. The man and the Senator are married. Therefore, THIS is the ‘scandal’ that CBS headlines. Meanwhile, over in The White House…

In this interview we witness Musk lie about DOGE losing people’s Social Security checks, try to cozy back up to the public and restore Tesla value by distancing himself from Trump, yet also try to stay cozy with Trump so that all his work to stop federal oversight into his businesses is not undone.

The big picture here is that American taxpayers paid to develop and put the satellites in orbit, to build the radar stations, to construct all the forecasting tech and work locations. We made the investment. It’s ours. And we did it on the premise that it would be staffed and used for our safety.
