We can just cut solar and electric vehicle subsidies and let China take over the world. @Tesla @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump The Big Bill is a big fail.

Kudos to United States Senator Adam Schiff of California. He doesn’t hesitate to tell it like it is.
BREAKING: Adam Schiff just read Trump's EPA director a full list of his agency's failures to his face and left him completely speechless. This is absolutely incredible.

#Scala.js 1.19.0 is released! It contains significant performance improvements for the WebAssembly backend (it is now often faster than JS), native support for JS async/await, and a way to leverage Wasm's JavaScript Promise Integration (JSPI). Read more at scala-js.org/news/2025/04/21…

I’m angry too. I’m angry with the dictator Putin. He’s a murderer. But I’m also angry with Trump who made the boneheaded move of giving away the two best pieces of leverage before the negotiations started. That’s why this is so messed up. bbc.com/news/articles/c20x7z…

Three years ago, when Ukraine liberated Bucha, the world witnessed for the first time what Ukrainians had always known: we cannot stop resisting the Russian invasion, for to do so would mean they will murder us all.

Folks, this is a scam. The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs. So, let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people. We are fighting back!

Commercial banks donated $23,992,279 to elect Republicans last year. Today, Republicans voted to end the cap on overdraft fees. This is what corruption looks like.

I started getting the flu shot when I joined the Air Force and continued once I got out. I got the Flu once in 40 years.

I guess that's why new Navy and Marine recruits get a ton of shots and vaccines in their first week? You know, to NOT get sick?

Elon Musk is not a doctor and he acts like he knows everything which is impossible.
Replying to @elonmusk
Sanitation over vaccines? That’s not a medical opinion—it’s tech bro pseudoscience wrapped in ego. Clean water didn’t eradicate smallpox. Soap didn’t stop polio. And no amount of handwashing is stopping airborne viruses like measles or COVID. This isn’t just ignorance—it’s dangerous misinformation dressed up as contrarian genius. Imagine having access to world-class scientists and still thinking Purell is better than peer-reviewed immunology. It’s giving “I watched a Joe Rogan podcast once” energy. Stick to rockets, Elon—public health isn’t your sandbox.
