The most corrupt president in history.
The Washington Post article headline states, "Trump bought over $1 million in SpaceX debt days before unveiling space policy." There is a picture of Trump and Musk standing in front of American flags.

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

When Pete Hegseth polled top commanders about cutting a program designed to protect civilians during military operations, he bet they’d back his view that the program was “woke” and out of step with “maximum lethality,” officials told ProPublica. Instead, every commander rebuffed the idea.

So, Trump won't attend the 25th anniversary of 9/11 because they won't let him give a speech. Of course, no one wants him spewing out hate at such a solemn occasion! It is not about him. It is a remembrance of those who were lost and the heroes who tried to save them.

Utterly nonsensical. No good science backs this up but a lot of data says it could be bad- inconveniece is a huge barrier that prevents people getting vax or completing full course so splitting vax up further will compound this. In a country where measles clearly now endemic this is utter insanity
