SpaceX will send four privately-paying space tourists on a Crew Dragon trip around the Earth.
The mission is set to launch between “late-2021 to mid-2022,"
broker Space Adventures said. https://t.co/nq3KP2IJiD
I love how everyone is appalled at the very concept of arresting the President of Israel, like we didn’t black-bag the President of Venezuela earlier this year.
Everyone seems to have the same feeling in the air now. Iran War is about to turn a different level of disastrous. Trump has no idea what he’s doing and the only people he’s listening to are the deranged psychopaths from the Israeli government. This is about to get super ugly.
New York City Mayor Mamdani just gave one of the most amazing speeches you will ever hear:
"We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, and more powerful than everyone else.
"The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed. We may have walked on the moon. But the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence — that work endures, and it belongs to us all.
"It belongs, too, to our newest Americans: those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I, too, felt what you feel: the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American, too.
"You each hold a special power: the power to determine what America means.
"The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom; where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.
"How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal.
"At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics — and the cheapest.
"But time and again, including 250 years ago, those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress."
Just got off the phone with my college roommate.
His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.
He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.
7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren’t their problem.
He told me he’s not the same person anymore.
Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn’t go away.
They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.
One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.
And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter.
I don’t know how people defend this system with a straight face.
I really don’t.
Taxpayers paid for over $38 billion in subsidies and government contracts for Space X, and Elon Musk gets to be a trillionaire off of our tax dollars.

I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.
This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.
Virginia residents are breathing emissions from 10,000 diesel generators…and it’s worse inside the buildings.
I received word from a family member with insider knowledge yesterday that due to how hot the water they use to cool down their data centers gets, it actually begins to vaporize, releasing unimaginable concentrated amounts of toxic water treatment chemicals into the atmosphere.
And now The Washington Post has confirmed it: this infrastructure boom is a direct threat to human life. 👇
One of the most horrific scenes in human history has been revealed.
A video shows people trying to rescue an injured person and carry him to the hospital; Israel bombed them all and killed them with a missile.
A video the world must never forget.
VOTE YES Virginia to counter Republican hypocrisy in THIER efforts to gerrymander maps! 🗳️ Beat them using their own dirty playbook! VOTE YES Virginia! #Vote
A recent poll found that 60% – including 3/4 of Democrats and 2/3 of independents – oppose the U.S. sending arms to Israel.
That is why today, I am forcing the Senate to vote on two Joint Resolutions of Disapproval - the only formal mechanism Congress has to block an arms sale.
This week, I will be forcing a vote to block nearly $500 million in bombs and bulldozers to Israel. Enough is enough.
U.S. taxpayers must not keep funding the Netanyahu government’s mass killing and displacement of civilians in Gaza, Iran and Lebanon.
BREAKING: Iranian media shares video of what’s left of the Black Hawk helicopters that were brought down during the US’s “rescue” mission. As usual it appears the United States is not telling the truth about the casualties in their war against Iran.
After the Soviet Union collapsed, a group of corrupt wealthy oligarchs stole everything leaving the people with nothing.
This is what is happening.
Right now.
In the United States.
And so called “patriots” are cheering it on.
Only 13% of Democratic voters have a positive view of Israel. If any Democratic politician takes money from @AIPAC, they are actively choosing to represent their donors instead of their voters. They're saying they'll represent Israel over you! You'd be nuts to vote for them.
If you live in the bright orange-shaded region, a portion of your electric bill will be going to pay for a massive transmission project being constructed to serve new data centers in Virginia.
The cost of the project just more than doubled to $960 million.
Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me.
It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.
