friends with large accounts, I'm not going to pester you personally but just generally speaking, I would sure appreciate a signal boost on this thing. We seem to have leveled out, and since this is a one-shot (won't be in bookstores) I'd like to get it out there as much as possible.

Singing for Justice is a wonderful hour-long film about legendary folk singer Faith Petric. Some of you may remember Faith's performance at my wedding reception! I admired her a great deal, and hope that you'll take the time to watch on your local PBS station, or stream it on the PBS website.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

OPM has stated that a response is not necessary. However, if a response were required, here is their plan: Musk-directed emails to government employees, requesting details on their work over the past week, are expected to be fed into an AI system to assess job necessity.

The AI system will then determine whether an employee should be terminated.
Because, of course, letting AI decide people’s livelihoods seems like a great idea.

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout.
Democrats voted yes.
Republicans voted no.
Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

So, Starlink was provided to Ukrainian military, but possibly also to Russian military, and USAID was investigating this security issue, and then USAID was the first agency shut down in Musk's unconstitutional deconstruction of our government? Hmm.
