We strongly advise the public not to do this, it’s unsafe. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted photos of himself and his grandkids swimming in Rock Creek, a Washington waterway so contaminated with sewage runoff that swimming has been banned citywide for over 50 years.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Feels like I'm missing something. Even setting aside the clear corruption and conflict of interest, why would SpaceX know how to "overhaul air traffic control"? Is the knowledge required to launch a rocket every few months really transferable to managing 7,500 planes in the air?

"Trump owns this, Elon owns this, and all of those spineless GOP Senators who greenlit Sean Duffy own this... We can barely go a day without a plane crashing. Maybe next time these Republicans should disconnect their lips from Trump’s ass and focus on the people they’re supposed to be representing."
