Congratulations 🎉 to the Long March 12A team. The Payload reached orbit. However, the re usable booster landing side of things did not go so well. To put things in to context, Spacex exploded 7 rockets, and lost numerous in experimental soft landings at sea before they had a success.

Where is Congress? Where are they?

I want to film this for my kids & my grandkids. I want them to see the day democracy died in Washington, D.C.

Even George is upset 🦮

I’m America first, I want my tax dollars to guarantee healthcare for every American instead of paying for bombs.

I think that would help make America great.

My brain hurts
FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you

LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times

F: Not a 600% cut

L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now
