Sad to hear that former President Joe Biden has an aggressive form of prostate cancer which has spread to his bones. Praying for the best outcome for him.

According to Musk and most of tech: No conflict, no interest
DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Pathetic listening to an old man rambling on about a terrible tragedy that he is blaming on diversity in the FAA. I flew that route into DCA last weekend and in my opinion it takes an incredible amount of skill to land a plane onto that short runway flying low over the waters of the Potomac.
