The FAA and SpaceX hid the fact that they list yet another rocket this month.
Not only that, but the FAA is not going to investigate either.
And there’s your reason for forcing out the head of the FAA.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

This. If media wants to stop failing us, here's a place to start.
I hope the press will cover every story of children that die without medicine, communities that starve from famine without food relief, the global spread of deadly viruses like ebola without containment - ALL as a result of Trump's decision to gut USAID.
Let that be his legacy. 🌎

Trump has seized the archives, the article explains, because he feels the prior archivist played a role in revealing he had classified documents piled up in an unsecured bathroom at his tacky golf club.
Once again, we all have to suffer because he got caught criming.

Another 1.5” shoveled. Years w/o any real snow and now this. Glad I invested in the snow blower and good shovels after “snowmageddon”. They are paying for themselves now.

First pass on the driveway is (almost) complete. Took two full batteries on the snowblower. We’ve got about 6” so far and it’s still coming down steady. If this keeps up until 10pm tonight like they are predicting, I would not be surprised to get another 4-6” out of this.
