I support the US garment industry. I don't believe in making life harder for immigrants or erecting crazy high tariffs. So how can we reshore some of our US garment manufacturing without xenophobia or protectionism? Here's my view. 🧵
The Lockheed CL-1201 was an actual concept study in producing a flying aircraft carrier that could stay airborne for 41 days, carry hundreds of troops and 22 fighter jets, powered by an 1,800 MW nuclear reactor.

Little bit extra on Judge Nichols:
He’s a Trump appointee. J6 defendants love him because he was the *only* judge in DC to reject their obstruction charges, triggering the case that got to SCOTUS, but…
He also put Steve Bannon in prison for contempt of Congress.
In the US city of Cincinnati in Ohio, armed Nazis decided to hang flags over an overpass, they were promptly removed by locals who chased them away and burned the Nazi flags. The police tried to protect the Nazis.

I’m sure that when the ‘hire on merit only’ crowd find out that women are generally better candidates for long term Spaceflight they’ll tell NASA to stop hiring men.
Equal performance, but lower mass, requiring fewer consumables and better radiation shielding around reproductive organs.

In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights —ie causes that threatened Putins dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want.
It's one thing to lose a rap battle. But an arena full of the biggest musicians in the world dancing and singing about you being a pedophile is an absolute obliteration. #GRAMMYs
New: An internal FBI document obtained by NBC News shows that executives use the FBIs Sentinel case file management system to identify agents and employees who worked on January 6 cases. The document says there were around 2400 investigations in total. The document says the search of case files was used to generate a list of names who then received a survey asking them exactly what they did on these cases. This is being viewed within the FBI as a retribution mission.
Trump and Musk are tanking the American economy -- so they can create chaos, and seize more control. THEY will be the only winners.
WE will be the ones paying more, suffering more, and losing our money, our jobs, and our freedoms.
