Bullshit.
From a spokesperson just now:
“NASA is committed to optimizing its workforce and resources in alignment with [DOGE] initiatives. As part of this effort NASA has identified and phased out $420 million in contracts that were determined to be redundant or misaligned with our core mission priorities."

Behold the ocular proof - This thread shows Musk either doesn't understand data analysis & statistics, or is lying about them. To what end? Prepping the ground for "an event" to "justify" rounding up trans people and launching martial law?

The one constant with global warming and its catastrophic effects is that we consistently find out it's worse than we thought, it's happening faster than we thought, our models are wrong in more ways than we thought, our studies didn't take into account more things than we'd thought...
1️⃣ NEW DATA: “The Antarctic Ice Sheet is thicker than we originally realised and has a larger volume of ice that is grounded on a rock bed sitting below sea-level. This puts the ice at greater risk of melting due to the incursion of warm ocean water that’s occurring at the fringes of the continent."

Setting aside the incredibly dangerous and fascist aspect of this, is there actual evidence that Khalil was a “Hamas supporter”? Or is the standard for a green-card holder being sent to a secret location and possibly deported just “critical of Israel”?

If the government can disappear US Permanent Residents at will then it can disappear US Citizens at will, too. No one is safe if this happens without serious consequence or a rapid reversal.
Y'all this is REALLY BAD. They disappeared a Palestinian activist green card holder who is married to a US citizen. He could literally be ANYWHERE 🌍 right now! ICE claims they cancelled his green card, something no judge has ruled on yet. Columbia colluded w/ ICE to make this happen.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

The moment Smarmy Mike showed up he's looked awfully familiar. Where'd I seen that dazed, sleepy gaze and self-satisfied "smile"? Was it on a puppet of some kind, other than Mike Johnson himself? Vague notions of Howdy Doody. Possibly a ventriloquist dummy. However, I finally have a perfect match.

Exactly. We did not ask Bannon for an interview when he was Musk ranting — you’d think it would be my arena — because it’s like asking Red Skull what he thinks of Thanos.
Reminder that a month ago Politico did a puffy soft focus interview with Steve Bannon, who today literally threw up a Nazi salute at CPAC. Inexcusably terrible editorial judgment at the time and looks even worse now.
Politico/C-SPAN is featuring Steve Bannon on its programming this morning. Was Alex Jones busy?
