"Andy Burnham needs to rule out tax rises to pay for his spending spree."

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticises Andy Burnham's policy blitz and says that "he's behaving like he's still the Mayor of Manchester".

.@PressSec: "A little more than a year after President Trump signed the Working Families Tax Cuts into law, this historic legislation continues to deliver on its promise, unleashing a genuine boom for American workers, families and small businesses. The numbers speak for themselves. This was the biggest tax refund season in American history, with the average refund exceeding $3,400—an 11% increase over the last year."

Elon Musk details the difficulties in building Optimus robots.

SpaceX builds rockets. Rockets run on chemical propulsion. Chemical propulsion has a ceiling.

It can reach Mars. Maybe deeper into the solar system.

But interstellar travel requires physics that doesn’t exist yet.

Weinstein: “You can’t get to the stars using SpaceX because it’s a chemical rocket company.”

The ceiling isn’t the universe’s. It’s ours.

Weinstein: “One of his slogans is ad astra, to the stars.”

To the stars. From a man who knows better than anyone that his rockets can’t reach them.

You don’t declare a destination your vehicle can’t reach unless you already know what replaces it.

The rockets were never the endgame.

Weinstein: “I think he’s given up on the corruption of science. He keeps talking about the fact that he doesn’t like the term researcher, he believes only in engineers.”

The breakthroughs that would get humanity past chemical propulsion should have happened decades ago.

They didn’t.

Not because the physics is impossible. Because the institutions responsible for discovering it optimized for everything except discovery.

Grant cycles. Tenure politics. Citation metrics.

The entire incentive structure of modern science rewards safe, incremental work and punishes the kind of risk that produces breakthroughs.

The system isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as designed.

It was just never designed for discovery.

Weinstein: “I think what he’s doing is he’s building Grok to do science in a time when humans are too corrupt to be truthful and real.”

Musk looked at the entire global scientific establishment and decided it was faster to build a mind that could do the physics than to fix the institutions that wouldn’t.

That calculation alone tells you everything about the state of modern science.

Everyone sees xAI competing with OpenAI and Anthropic in the chatbot race.

Weinstein is saying it was never in the chatbot race. It’s in the physics race. The one nobody else is running.

Weinstein: “Look at the logo for Grok, I think it’s like a black hole profile. Look at its slogan, to understand the universe.”

Not to assist. Not to optimize.

To understand the universe.

SpaceX is the vehicle. xAI is the destination.

One builds the ship. The other discovers how far it can go.

The distance to the stars was never measured in light years.

It was measured in the limits of the mind reaching for them.

The most ambitious project on Earth right now isn’t a rocket program.

It’s an AI being built to find the physics that makes rockets obsolete.

🔥🔥@SenLummis this afternoon on the Senate floor:

“Would we expect to go to Mexico or Canada and walk into an election booth and have them let us vote in their elections? Without an ID, without proving we’re a Canadian citizen or a Mexican citizen? They would have nothing to do with the process that allowed a U.S. citizen to vote without identification in their elections. No country would."

[BILLIONAIRE UNIVERSITY® @TheBillionaireU]

27-year-old Elon Musk paid $200 a month for a leaky roof office and slept in it because it was cheaper than an apartment.

Summer of 1995, no money, no income, so he showered at the YMCA for 4 months and worked out of the nastiest place you can imagine.

The office had 1 hidden advantage an internet provider sat on the floor below, so he drilled a hole in the concrete and plugged straight into their server for near-free bandwidth.

He couldn’t afford a Cisco T1 router either, so he read a white paper and wrote an emulator, skipped the web server entirely to save CPU cycles, read port 8080 directly, and coded the first national maps, directions and yellow pages on the internet that summer in C with a little C++.

The company was Zip2 online city guides, where to eat, how to get around.

By 1998 CBS came to film the vintage Jaguar, the 6-figure salary, the dog, the house, the girlfriend, and a market Microsoft had tried to enter and failed.

Then the reporter asked the standard 1998 question where is the internet going?

The 27-year-old answered like he’d already seen the ending:

“The internet is the superset of all media. Print, radio, broadcast all of it folds into the internet. It’s the first two-way medium that’s intelligent, where consumers choose what they see and when they see it.”

That was 28 years ago and he was describing a feed.

A year later Zip2 sold for $307M, the money became X com, X com became PayPal, and PayPal became rockets.

It all started with a drill and the server downstairs.

The leader's changed, but it's the same old Labour Party.

Trans Florida Student Arrested After Explosive Meltdown Over 'Misgendering'

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

In the last few hours alone Andy Burnham’s Government has talked about:

Cutting energy bills
Lifting the personal tax allowance
Nationalising Thames Water
The biggest council house programme since the War
Giving mayors more funding
Creating a new National Care Service
More overseas aid
Cutting student loan repayments
More employment support
Ending homelessness

These are billions of pounds of spending commitments and that's on top of raising defence spending to 3%.

Where’s the money coming from?

There’s been no serious explanation at all of how they will be funded. I am very concerned the Prime Minister is making a lot of promises without giving the country an explanation about how we can afford them.

We cannot borrow even more - we are paying more in debt interest than we do on defence.

The answer can’t be tax rises either. The tax burden is already far too high, and families and businesses shouldn’t face even higher bills.

The only answer is to cut spending. Andy Burnham should be in Parliament explaining what his actual plans are and how he is going to pay for them.

[Jonbull @Jonbullish]

@SkyNews Essentially he has no plan.

Coinbase makes its case for the Clarity Act, the first major legislation to regulate crypto. The crypto and banking industries both have a lot at stake and they're battling it out, while everyone waits to hear what will be in the Senate bill. @rvangrack https://t.co/Nibx1C9iKL

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

I wish Andy Burnham every success as Prime Minister. But it is my job to hold him to account.

Every announcement he makes should be properly funded. We cannot borrow more money and the tax burden is already too high, so the only answer is spending cuts.

I will work with him in the national interest to find savings from the benefits bill. If we reach agreement, my Conservative MPs will vote for those cuts in Parliament. That's the way to get Britain working.

New UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham delivers a message of reset in his first speech outside 10 Downing Street after accepting the King's invitation to form a government.

Burnham becomes Britain's seventh prime minister since 2016, underscoring the political instability he says the country must move beyond.

"I hear you and I want to be honest with you. We have not been good enough and we need to be better."
