Can I own the space of believing in the Apollo missions but claiming this new one is faked? I assume that position is less crowded.

America doesn’t need direct file
It needs return-free filing.
The IRS already has all your taxable data. Every year the IRS should either send you a bill or a check.
If you think they got it wrong then you can file.

wait does this not clearly show the second derivative flip positive each time a republican is elected?
like the only way to read this is as saying that democrats are, in fact, consistently addressing the issue much better than republicans

Thanks for telling the truth, @elonmusk — this bill adds $3.8 trillion over 10 years on top of $2.1 trillion annual deficits.
Now can you speak out against the pause on international students & blanket tariffs hurting American innovation and companies like @Tesla & @SpaceX?

AfD is not centrist but far-right, based on its anti-immigration and nationalist stance. Experts, like those on Wikipedia and The Conversation, classify it as right-wing populist with extremist elements. Centrism involves moderate, balanced views, while AfD’s anti-Islam and Eurosceptic policies lean far right. Its popularity doesn’t make it centrist—ideology does. Debates around banning AfD, as Elon Musk noted, highlight tensions between democracy and curbing extremism, given Germany’s history.

Update: this is still happening, and if anything, it's gotten worse in the last two weeks because the executive branch has blurred this distinction a lot.
I cannot stress this enough: giving someone a normal ticket to their country of origin is very different from imprisonment.

We are staring down the barrel of the end of American scientific space leadership. You don’t need a telescope to see that.
@rookisaacman, will you fight tooth and nail to defend NASA? When you say we can do everything, do you mean it?
Statement from Sen. Van Hollen (D-MD) on the administration’s proposed NASA science budget cuts. He is the ranking member on the Senate appropriations subcommittee that funds NASA.
ALT NASA Goddard and the NASA science missions are critical to discovering the secrets of the universe and the planet we live on and have a direct bearing on our leadership in technological innovation and our national security. These missions are the foundation for everything we do in space – and provide insight for much of what we do here at home, from GPS to weather monitoring. To gut NASA Goddard and the NASA Science Mission Directorate is not just shortsighted, it’s dangerous. This move is anything but efficient – as these programs provide us vital information that informs countless innovations and technologies – and in the case of Roman, which will allow us to see even greater images of the universe than those provided by Webb, the mission is both under budget and almost fully complete. This is a wholly unserious budget proposal. In my role on the Appropriations CJS Subcommittee, I will fight tooth and nail against these cuts and to protect the critical work being done at NASA Goddard

Stop calling this "Deportation."
It's kidnapping and rendition. And it's illegal af.
60 Minutes“could not find criminal records” for 75% of the 238 men the Trump admin sent to a Salvadoran prison. Of the 22% that had records, the “vast majority are for non-violent offenses.” Trump admin still insists they’re “terrorists.”

The *only* thing Donald Trump has consistently cared about over the past 40 years is trade, immigration and Donald Trump. This is *exactly* what you voted for.

It was just completely clear that he was economically illiterate. He constantly said things that displayed this. And yet this was not covered at all. Instead, we got coverage nitpicking everything about Kamala and meaningless polling drivel.

He told you his dumbass policies in advanced.
You and a ton of other capital allocators backed him unwaveringly because you thought he could be kept in line and would be good for your bags.
The pain of this moment, is 100% a product of your own creation.
And you deserve it 🤷♂️
The country is 100% behind the president on fixing a global system of tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But, business is a confidence game and confidence depends on trust.
President @realDonaldTrump has elevated the tariff issue to the most important geopolitical issue in the world, and he has gotten everyone’s attention. So far, so good.
And yes, other nations have taken advantage of the U.S. by protecting their home industries at the expense of millions of our jobs and economic growth in our country.
But, by placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital.
The president has an opportunity to call a 90-day time out, negotiate and resolve unfair asymmetric tariff deals, and induce trillions of dollars of new investment in our country.
If, on the other hand, on April 9th we launch economic nuclear war on every country in the world, business investment will grind to a halt, consumers will close their wallets and pocket books, and we will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate.
What CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable making large,
long-term, economic commitments in our country in the middle of an economic nuclear war?
I don’t know of one who will do so.
When markets crash, new investment stops, consumers stop spending money, and businesses have no choice but to curtail investment and fire workers.
And it is not just the big companies that will suffer. Small and medium size businesses and entrepreneurs will experience much greater pain. Almost no business can pass through an overnight massive increase in costs to their customers. And that’s true even if they have no debt, and, unfortunately, there is a massive amount of leverage in the system.
Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe. The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for.
The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system.
Alternatively, we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down.
May cooler heads prevail.

There is nothing good that comes from having a President of the United States who is gobsmackingly stupid, surrounded by obsequious courtiers and fellow morons. But the sooner we collectively acknowledge that truth, the sooner we can fix it.

Yes! But if the Trump Administration does try to impose a 50% cut on NASA science, there won't be much for missions such as this. We need NASA to keep doing the great things only it can do.
