This is some sick shit. Heritage Foundation lays out their case that slashing higher ed and gutting public K-12 will increase fertility (for certain desirable populations, of course).

Despicable, evil, impeachable and frankly treasonous behavior from Trump and Musk.
"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations."

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

Perhaps it is worth saying that the difference between $5M and $500B is $500B.
The fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M.
