From a couple of hours ago. This is where redistricting ends up. Republicans, after looking like they would lose or draw the redistricting war, have won it. Because Republicans can do whatever the hell they want in red states, and Democrats have to tie their shoes in handcuffs in blue states.
Republican states are just allowed to jam through comical gerrymanders (even after people have started voting) and Dem states do it the 'proper' way and it gets blown up.
Just completely different rules. Hard not to feel like the deck is completely stacked against us.
Roughly 6X entire investment in Starship program.
Is whatever this thing is worth 6x the money you have ever put into the foundation of your company's entire future. Its 6x more valuable than, everything...?
As with all things AI, this cannot be made sense of.
the strait of hormuz is in a quantum superposition of open and closed that only collapses when you try to take a tanker through yourself and see if you get shot at
The US is not cutting aid to Ukraine.
It already did that.
The US is stealing critical defense equipment meant for Ukraine already paid for by NATO allies so it can prop up a bullshit war in the Middle East.
I mean, how the hell is this even legal?
Was it part of the contract that the seller is entitled to say “screw you and the money you've paid us, we're talking these weapons for ourselves”?
Trump II might actually be the most corrupt presidential administration in American history. Basically every major White House announcement is now preceded by insider trading. They're shameless crooks.
"Ukraine intensified drone attacks on Russia's oil and fuel export infrastructure this month, hitting all three of Russia's major western oil export ports, including Novorossiysk on the Black Sea and Primorsk and Ust-Luga on the Baltic Sea.
According to Reuters calculations, about 40% of Russia's crude oil export capabilities - or around 2 million barrels per day, were shut as of Wednesday after the most recent attack.
That includes Primorsk and Ust-Luga as well as the Druzhba pipeline, which runs through Ukraine to Hungary and Slovakia."

People are all focused on the doom scenarios of $150+ - $200/barrel oil.
But they don’t realize that $100/barrel prices have barely hit yet.
$80 a barrel basically cost Biden/Harris the election.
At $90 a barrel the average US commuter’s budget goes negative.
Sustained $100/barrel for a few months would push inflation to levels that dampen the economy for *years*
Iran does not need to cause doomsday pricing.
They could cause uncertainty pricing and higher insurance pinning us to $100/barrel for months and that alone would be *devastating*
🚨U.S. to allow Iran to get ~14 billion dollars (!!!) in oil revenue
🚨This is a huge financial concession to Iran by the U.S.
🚨It is the first time U.S. is buying Iranian oil since 1996
🚨It's all happening in the middle of a war against...Iran
Higher gasoline and diesel prices are now costing the U.S. economy half a billion dollars more every single day (and rising) versus three weeks ago. A staggering rise and near record-setting.
