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.

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.

if you have an iPhone, you may have pressed the power button 5x before. the phone vibrates briefly, you get options to call emergency services, power off, etc...
this kicks the phone out of this AFU state. you can do it with the phone in your pocket. you should practice doing 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.

I really want to share this video highlighting a current problem with the FAA medical process. Xyla is an awesome person who builds all sorts of cool things and also flies planes for fun, but not any more.

Under the current set of rules it's very likely a career ending move for a professional pilot to get any kind of professional help
The FAA Special Issuance Certification process covers a lot of 'permanent' conditions - things like heart problems which require lots of extra work to get approved for flight a process that takes too long and leaves pilots grounded for months *every year* even if they ultimately get cleared.
And this covers even the slightest hint of mental health issues, which means pilots are just avoiding things that could be dealt with easily because once the medical records hit the system they're in this bucket, in a constant battle to keep their medical.
And some end up 'self medicating' with alcohol which is also a condition on this list, I'd prefer qualified pilots not making the world less safe because of antiquated rules.
Last year the FAA reauthorization bill required the establishment of a working group to modernize this process, but this was always going to take a long time even before staff reductions.
