Is a trillion dollars incomprehensible to most people? Probably.
But rather than reflexively attacking @elonmusk, perhaps we should admire what made it possible: innovation, ambition, relentless hard work and a willingness to dream beyond borders.
@TVietor08@elonmusk Wow. Today is really exposing the endless stream of bitter, jealous people who need to shit on someone else’s success just to feel better about their own empty pathetic lives
Maybe the happy ending is that you fall in love with your life, travel to your favourite countries, eat your favourite foods and enjoy the little things that make you happy.
🚨Karmelo Anthony getting 35 years in prison was the RIGHT CALL.

Thank you @KatiePavlichNN for having me.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Tens of thousands of Spencer Pratt voters are now receiving rejection letters from the county clerk saying that their ballots were not counted due to signature irregularities. Yet, Governor Gavin Newsom just passed legislation that would make it illegal for anyone conducting oversight, to contest signatures that they deemed fraudulent. Democrats allow ballots to be signed with an X, a -, or a 🙂 to pass and count, but all of a sudden, only Republican signatures are being flagged for irregularities, rejected, and not counted. 🤔 One of these California Republican voters said that his signature has been on file for over 20 years and there has never been an issue until he voted for Spencer Pratt. Nithya Ramen has beaten Spencer Pratt by less than 3000 votes. There are at least 18,000 Pratt voters who received this letter saying their votes were rejected.
Vice President JD Vance will appear on "The View" on June 16, marking his first visit to the ABC daytime talk show.

Michael Jackson was one of those once-in-a-lifetime artists– a talent like no other I’ve ever known, and I was lucky enough to call him a friend.
Over the years, we even started noticing some uncanny parallels, including that we were both the 7th child in musical families of nine! 😁
I’ll always be grateful I got to share a chapter of life with him. 💜
Rhode Island School Cmte member Jen Lima posted a letter to Austin Metcalf's dad:
"Your Son Is Dead Because You Failed To Teach Him That Black Boys Have Boundaries"
Incredible victim-blaming of a child brutally murdered in cold blood.
No humanity, all ideology. She shouldn't even be near children.
For years the mainstream media has drilled into our heads that we are hated around globe. But soccer-seeking Europeans with X accounts have confirmed nothing could be further from the truth.
America is still the envy of the world, and Americans are beloved for their hospitality.
🚨STOP THE ISLAMIFICATION OF AMERICA! 🚨
Wake up, Georgia and America! Duluth High School thought it was a brilliant idea to welcome a fully niqab-covered teacher into an English Language Arts classroom. Face completely veiled, eyes only. They posted it proudly... until parents pushed back and they scrambled to delete it.
This isn't "diversity." This is cultural surrender.
No more creeping Sharia in our classrooms. Not in Georgia. Not anywhere.
Defend the West. Protect our kids. America First or America lost.

Faith is not believing that life will never be difficult.
It is believing there is still light beyond the darkness. Still purpose in the uncertainty. Still a path forward, even when you cannot see the whole road.
The ocean moves.
The stars shine.
The sun rises.
Nature trusts its timing.
Maybe we should too.
Because faith is not certainty.
Faith is continuing anyway.
