In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

RFK Jr blames diet, lifestyle & vaccines for chronic illness. Dr Oz says it’s a “patriotic duty” to lead a healthy life & be fit enough to serve in the military. Neither of them are pushing for Universal Healthcare, basic income, an end to food deserts & inequality, clean water etc. It’s eugenics

I'd really like to know at what point we in the aerospace community will collectively start referring to SpaceX's Starship as the Cybertruck of launch vehicles.

Cool to see #zeroemission adoption in local commercial fleets. Lots of #BEV and #FCEV buses coming to Orange County, CA. #fuelcell #hydrogen www.globenewswire.com/news-release...

Very difficult to scale up a technology and its adoption when it has become a political football.

Bad for school kids, bad for farmers, and sure as hell won’t “make America healthy again.”

The 2026 #Hyundai Nexo #hydrogen #fuelcell SUV has been announced. Gotta say it looks really cool. As it happens the lease for my '22 Nexo is up this year. It would be on my replacement short list if it's available. www.carsdirect.com/hyundai/nexo... #FCEV

Dystopia is the AARP advising older Americans about how to live in a police state www.aarp.org/travel/trave...

You guys Elon Musk appointed the head of the IRS and President Trump didn’t even know about it.

I get why people are focusing on Kilmar Abrego Garcia, but we should be demanding the return of every single person ICE abducted and that the Trump administration trafficked to El Salvador. I don't care if they're an angel or a terrorist. Everyone deserves due process and a chance in court.

There's a reason ICE agents wear masks in the street. From Kristi Noem's war-crime propaganda to the airport officers harassing innocent tourists, the MAGA deportation regime is not just immoral but increasingly criminal Someday, there must be justice.

Cool progress on #zeroemission transportation here in California. Field testing a #hydrogen #fuelcell locomotive. #fcev www.trains.com/trn/news-rev...

My son and daughter got social Security payments because their mother died at 35. Jen earned that money and the family needed that little extra boost each month having lost a breadwinner. These people trying to shame recipients are monstrous.

I support the US garment industry. I don't believe in making life harder for immigrants or erecting blanket tariffs. So how can we reshore some of our US garment manufacturing without xenophobia or protectionism? Here's my view. 🧵

Jesus, this is bleak. Like, I appreciate that the data is being tracked? But whew.

I just want to reiterate that the White House Press Secretary — predictably but notably — lied through her teeth about this when asked.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

90 percent. They sent innocent people to a gulag so Trump could look like a tough guy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

California pilots a solar-over-canal system to combat drought. Project Nexus will cover canals with solar panels, generating clean energy while preventing water evaporation. The project showing potential for 13 GW of annual energy, while saving 50,000 acres of land. buff.ly/ZBokAil #ShareGoodNewsToo

Adam Schiff and Jamie Raskin are doing a critical hearing today on Trump's attacks on the rule of law. It's an important one--I'll be in the room, stay tuned

Lots of lies have had dire effects on the economy — "you can afford this much house" or "pets dot com is worth a kajillionty dollars" — but it sure seems like "Donald Trump is a good businessman" may end up as the most expensive lie in modern history

Trump take Nintendo.

Never been more pumped to live in a neighborhood with a large Russian population and access to imported Russian goods.

Hahaha

We heard anecdotally that Canadians weren’t visiting the states, now we have the data. A massive, shocking drop.

If you have some idea what you'll eat for dinner, you are farther along in your planning than the Trump team is on the largest tax hike in history which they'll unveil later today. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The #1 topic for calls to my office today? Cory Booker’s floor speech. So yeah… I’d say people are listening to him.

just days after Trump declared himself the "fertilization president" the entire team focused on Assisted Reproductive Technology (which includes treatments like IVF) was laid off at the CDC
