Great piece, same story everywhere.

I’m in Alabama with a family of four. We have a mortgage on a house that’s now valued at $320,000 the same house was worth just $160,000 in 2018.

The reality most people miss: We haven’t changed our lifestyle one bit in the last six years. We’ve lived responsibly. Yet every month we’re forced to cut back more and more. In our area plants/factories are closing all the time, good-paying jobs are disappearing, and most of the remaining manufacturing work around here tops out around $25 an hour. I’m getting my usual 2% annual raise while everything else keeps getting more expensive.

This isn’t about young people just starting out and learning to budget. This is about responsible, working families who were doing fine, paying bills, raising kids, living within their means and now having to live like we did in our 20s.

We’re watching the country head in the wrong direction, worrying about whether our children will even have a shot at the same life we had.
And the most frustrating part? We’re constantly told “the economy has never been better.”

That disconnect is real. We’re not asking for luxury. We just want to maintain the modest, responsible life we built, without having to keep tightening the belt every single year while being gaslit that everything is fine.

@Mike_kim714 Heck of a round. Finish strong today

Great video as always 👍

Is Starship HLS really is a viable option for NASA and SpaceX to get humans back onto the surface of the moon for the Artemis Program?

We'll go over why it's so tall, why it uses Methalox instead of hypergolic propellants, explain why it requires 15 or more launches for a single lunar landing and we'll even go over alternate options that could maybe simplify or speed up the process.

Beautiful machines in space

@DeAngelisCorey I have no dog in this race, but the data follows the trend. Hence the reason teachers generally support democrats.

[Caleb Frederick @Caleb0Frederick]

@DeAngelisCorey As someone that has worked in education at the admin level for 18 years now. In the red state of Indiana, funding for schools specific to per pupil has steadily decreased over that period. In blue states it increases per pupil. This has had a negative affect on education.

@grsmith2008 @TWlegion @NUCLRGOLF Was just there a few weeks ago. Same temp as always.

Gotta make that up and down Bryson 😆 🤣

Or your jealous. Try not to be so obvious next time.

[Jon Root @JonnyRoot_]

Maybe getting the opportunity to play Augusta National unlimited times the month leading into The Masters, while skipping three straight tournaments, gave Rory McIlroy an unfair advantage over the other competitors… Just maybe.

Congrats, or whatever.

[Caleb Frederick @Caleb0Frederick]

Very deserving 👏 🙌

[Caleb Frederick @Caleb0Frederick]

Good bye @TheMasters . Another great champion and tournament. Never disappoints. A tradition like no other!

[Caleb Frederick @Caleb0Frederick]

Congrats to @McIlroyRory on a repeat masters title. Hard to believe he was struggling to get his first last year, and now two in a row! Well done and let's get all four!!

My favorite shot of reentry

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

Footage shows the crew module separating from the service module, as the Artemis II crew begin their descent. The 19 second firing of the thrusters prior to reentry into Earth’s atmosphere has been completed as well. The correct angle for reentry and minimal exposure to high temperatures for reentry has also been completed.

[Caleb Frederick @Caleb0Frederick]

Give me more!! Great work @NASA

[NASA @NASA]

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

@SirBylHolte Very good series, I'd even say it's a strong second to TNG.

Six weeks after September 11, 2001, twelve American soldiers were quietly loaded onto a helicopter in Uzbekistan and flown over the Hindu Kush mountains in the dead of night.

No tanks. No armored vehicles. No air support waiting on the ground.

Just twelve Green Berets, over a hundred pounds of gear each, and a mission that their own commanders privately doubted any of them would survive.
They landed in a remote Afghan village called Dehi, in the pitch black, surrounded by a country they barely had maps for.

And then someone handed them horses.
Not metaphorically. Actual horses — Afghan stallions, tough as nails and famously difficult to control. Wooden saddles covered in carpet scraps. Stirrups so short their knees rode up around their ears.

Captain Mark Nutsch, who'd grown up on a cattle ranch in Kansas and competed in collegiate rodeos, became trail boss on the spot. For the other ten men on his team — Operational Detachment Alpha 595 of the 5th Special Forces Group — the learning curve was immediate and unforgiving. The first words one of his sergeants learned in Dari were: "How do you make him stop?"

They had linked up with General Abdul Rashid Dostum, a Northern Alliance warlord who controlled thousands of fighters and knew this territory like the back of his hand. The deal was simple: the Americans would call in precision airstrikes from horseback. Dostum's cavalry would do the charging. Together, they would take Mazar-i-Sharif — a Taliban stronghold of 250,000 people — and crack open northern Afghanistan.

Military planners had estimated it would take two years.

Task Force Dagger gave ODA 595 three weeks.
For 23 days of nearly continuous combat, the Horse Soldiers lived like men from a different century. They ate what the Afghans ate. They slept on the ground in freezing mountain passes. They rode trails so narrow and sheer that one wrong step meant a thousand-foot drop. Staff Sergeant Will Summers started the mission at 185 pounds. He left Afghanistan five weeks later weighing 143.

The Taliban had tanks. Soviet-era armor, antiaircraft guns, fortified positions dug into the mountains. Against this, twelve Americans on horseback radioed coordinates to aircraft circling invisibly above, and watched the positions erupt.

On November 9, 2001, they rode into the kind of moment that people are not supposed to experience in the modern world.

Nutsch and his team joined hundreds of Dostum's horsemen in a thundering cavalry charge across an open plain — directly into entrenched Taliban lines. Under fire. At a gallop. Calling in close air support between strides.

It was the first cavalry charge of the 21st century.
It was also the last.

The next day, Mazar-i-Sharif fell. The Taliban's northern stronghold collapsed. Within weeks, the regime itself began to unravel — a domino effect that started with twelve men and borrowed horses in the mountains.

All twelve of them came home.
Zero American fatalities. Against a fortified enemy that outnumbered and outgunned them at every turn.
Today, across from Ground Zero in New York City, there is a bronze statue — sixteen feet tall — of a Special Forces soldier on horseback, rifle across his lap, looking west. It honors ODA 595 and the teams who rode with them.

Most Americans walk past it every day without knowing the story.
Now you do.

[Captain Eli @TheCaptainEli]

Just stood 10 meters (~33 feet) from Starship today in Boca Chica. Heat tiles, flaps, the full stainless steel monster towering right there — insanely close.

No other place on Earth lets the public get this close to real, operational spacecraft.
Elon’s companies just do things differently.

Open. Bold. Accessible.

This is how you inspire the world — and especially the next generation. 🚀

As if that week wasn't highly anticipated enough... one can dream.
