SpaceX was his one good company thanks to the work of people like Gwynne Shotwell. xAI must not have been getting enough investor interest and rather than admit it's a stinker, he's shackling spaceX with it.

If I were a spaceX investor, I would be absolutely pissed about this and talking to my attorneys.

We need to add digging/ tunneling to the grid.

It's a double entendre because firstly this is absurd, and also a vague reference to how when Trumps insurrectionists show up with guns they just get pardoned instead of executed.

I'll admit it's a bit of a stretch as far as jokes go.

The US Marshals Service serves the judiciary. Unfortunately, they're directed by the Attorney General which is a role currently occupied by a loyalist.

I think it was primarily the 2A special interest groups suddenly showing disloyalty that spooked the MAGA regime. They can't get away with rigging the midterms if the 2A groups aren't at least turning a blind eye.

I hope Chris Madel dropping out implies that big donors don't want to be associated with the republicans right now. I really don't buy his conscience for his kids schtick.

“Secretary Noem refused to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee last year and now tells us that she will be available in five weeks—should she still be DHS [Department of Homeland Security] Secretary at that time,” Durbin said in a statement.

Because they let Noem state her availability and she expects this to have blown over or have resulted in her firing before then.

Newsbreak straight up rips content with barely a mention of a source. I have a family member that shares their links all the time and I hate it because I have to search the title every time to find the actual article.

How do her actions not meet standards for disbarring someone?

Particularly it's meant to peel away at American exceptionalism mythology. The US really only excels at two things globally, finance and war.

Yes, very joyous. I didn't realize raucous had overall negative connotations. Perhaps rowdy better describes the concept I was thinking of.
