MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
There are multiple agencies assisting this veteran and children. They have been secured.
EMERGENT MISSION
Code of Vets needs YOUR teamwork to help this Veteran Mom and her two elementary-age kids.
Aneeya is a USAF veteran, a below-knee amputee, and relies on an LVAD (left ventricular assist device) plus oxygen/breathing equipment. After leaving an abusive situation following a hospital discharge, she and her children cannot safely stay in a DV shelter because of her medical needs and equipment.
COV is already coordinating behind the scenes with an SSVF case worker and a social worker to build a sustainable foundation of stability. Right now, the immediate need is $2,500 to keep them in a hotel room long enough for that support system to lock in place.
Even $5 makes a real difference and gives these kids a measure of safety and stability while the longer-term plan comes together.
Please jump in however you can.
Donate: codeofvets.com
or Stripe: buy.stripe.com/28E3cugEhdGFf…
Assess. Assist. Stabilize.
One veteran family at a time.

To understand most things Musk says, you have to understand that engineers are born, not made. You have to understand that he has always been an engineer and pretty much nothing else. And you have to understand that 99% of an engineer's job isn't to create a thing... it's to teach ourselves how to create a thing.
So when he says cooling in space is "easy", that doesn't mean what normies mean by "easy", which is "doesn't take a lot of resources, time, or expense".
He means what engineers mean by "easy", which is "contains no unsolved problems".
You take in X amount of energy, you know it's all gonna end up as heat, you know that to radiate X amount of heat you need Y amount of radiator. It's all just math.
If you build a satellite that takes in 2X energy, you need 2Y radiator.
There's no unsolved problem, here. There's nothing to figure out. You know the answer. You just have to design the layout.
If you're been beating your head against "how land booster" and "how make engine not boom" and "how make rocket lighter" for years, this is like drawing stick figures by comparison.
So if guy comes along and says "vacuum is a near-perfect insulator", which is both technically true and completely irrelevant, of course Musk is gonna call guy a retard.
Because guy has just revealed that he doesn't understand the basic nature of the problem, or of the design conversation.
The only significance that "vacuum is a near-perfect insulator" has is that it means you can't do cooling in space the same way you would on Earth.
Well, duh.
We've known that since we first understood what space is.
And we've successfully dealt with that challenge since the very first times we put things in space.
Fusion containment is hard. Rocket engines are hard. New AI capabilities are hard. Cheap and reliable manufacturing at scale is hard. Estimating costs and schedules is hard.
Waste heat is not hard.
Replying to @shaunmmaguire @broudsov
Yeah, much easier to cool in space.
~1300 W/m^2 is easily achievable for an aluminum radiator pointed away from the Sun, as it is mostly just seeing cosmic background radiation at ~3 degrees above absolute zero!
Solar panels generate ~250 W/m^2, so you should expect them to have ~5 times the area of the radiator. Most of the mass of the satellite is solar panels.

Thank you @catturd2 for supporting the mission from the beginning.
We have known each other for years, and it was great to meet in person! NOTE: He also helped my mom after Hurricane Helene. There are some terrible people on this platform, but there are also some really good, genuine people who truly care. #codeofvets #VeteranStrong

Straight out of critical / intersectional theory.
The time for defunding or leaving the UN is now.

A patriotic day @catturd2 4th annual Turdstock! @johnrich Redneck Riveria is the perfect venue. Close. Personal. Great atmosphere.
I needed to get out and live a little… @Beardvet it was so good to see you brother.
Thank you @CorkySwift2 for sponsoring @codeofvets and @GracieNunyabiz

THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD. The U.S. poverty rate just hit an all-of-history low. American households recorded their highest real median income in history.
It gets better. 975,000 new jobs were created JUST in August and September 2026, according to the latest household survey. That's nearly a million more Americans working in just two months.
And we're supposed to believe Trump's economy is a disaster?
Official child poverty fell to just 13.4 percent, its lowest recorded rate. And that's before we even talk about violent crime dropping to its lowest rate since 1900: that's a BIG quality of life improvement, especially for children in inner cities.
Trump changed the incentives for investment. His tax law made immediate expensing permanent for qualifying equipment. A business can deduct the full cost when it puts that equipment to work.
That makes buying better tools more attractive. Better tools let a worker produce more in the same hour. A company that can profitably expand hires MORE people, not less, and competing employers give those people more bargaining power and higher wages.
Your boss's ability to make money has everything to do with his ability to pay you more. Treat profits as an offense and you'll quickly lose the expansion, the hiring, and the raises those profits could finance.
That's why Barack Obama's "you didn't build that" economy hit just 1.6% annual GDP growth, while Trump's is clocking in at 3.4% and rising.
And the things those workers produce are how supply catches up with demand, and how eventually, prices fall. Like they do for televisions.
If Americans need more energy, produce more energy. If they need more goods, let companies build the factories that make them. Delaying a plant doesn't abolish demand for what it would produce. It sends the order somewhere else, and the job to Mexico or China.
A family paying too much for necessities needs more supply and higher earnings. How does it help that family by making American production harder?
But Trump tackled the bottom end too. No taxes on tips. No taxes on overtime (and there's a LOT of overtime coming as the expansion accelerates). And FINALLY, no taxes on almost everyone's Social Security benefits.
Government should serve everyone, from top to bottom. Trump's does.
Democrats want to campaign against corporate profits while workers need the jobs, investment, and productivity those profits make possible. They want to talk about "affordability" after printing money for four years and closing countless refineries that produce our gas.
@larry_kudlow calls this the greatest story never told. So go tell it. People have no idea. Because the Enemedia lies nonstop. They're just an arm of the Democrats' campaign.
Tell your friends what real income means. Explain why investment matters to their paychecks. Show them that more production is how we make the things they need more affordable.
And tell them the extraordinary progress we're making. It was never going to happen all at once. You wouldn't go to the gym and immediately look shredded.
But it's happening. Now.
Tell our story. Vote. Help your friends go vote. Put them in your car and take them.
And let Trump cook.

Remembering Sir Patrick Stewart
This was his appearance on Saturday Night Live February 5, 1994
Mike Myers had a lot of fun with this one

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.
