If Elon Musk wants to cut government funding, he should give back all the billions in government subsidies (handouts!) he got for Tesla -- and the billions in government contracts he got for SpaceX.

Every single penny. And he should sign a pledge never to take another penny.

“government gangsters” speaks volumes about this administration.

It’s like they see Nicky Barnes as a role model.
Kash Patel told @amyklobuchar.com he did not recall saying Trump has “every right to tell the world that in 2020, 2016, and every other election in between was rigged by our government because they were.”

Here’s the clip:

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Vimy Ridge Monument near Arras, France. The Canadians proved they are Bad Asses there in 1917. I visited it. The new Administration better not take them lightly. They are a worthy opponent. (Full disclaimer- I happen to love Canadian people, and I see them as our wonderful cousins to the north.)

Just to be clear, I arrived at Bluesky after the “Metaverse” become toxic. I am a refugee from “Metaland.” I suspect is a common plight for many of us. #meta #metaverse #refugee #bluesky #bsky
