Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and the rest aren’t dumb enough to actually think Elon Musk has a trillion dollars in cash waiting to be taxed. They just think their followers are dumb enough to think that. And they are.

"Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking." General Dwight D. Eisenhower, closing his Order of the Day to the troops -- Evening of June 5, 1944. Share this tonight -- so people can remember that so much of what they enjoy today is in large part because of what happened 82 years ago tomorrow.

Executive leadership!
We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy. Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead. There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems. We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes. @NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible. America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸

The Sunshine Protection Act is once again in the spotlight. This is a move to have Daylight Savings Time be the permanent time as opposed to Standard Time. THIS IS THE WRONG TIME TO MAKE PERMANENT. I did a video back in 2022 (video below) discussing how this has been tried before in the U.S. back in the 1970s and also in other countries like Russia and the U.K. ALL attempts to make DST permanent was ultimately reversed for various reasons. BTW I do suggest watching the video at about 1.5 speed as I tend to talk slower in my videos. :) With DST you are trading longer summer days for considerably longer darker mornings for the year. This has lead to increased fatalities in car accidents and school children deaths as they walk to their buses/school. Our natural circadian rhythms are disrupted leading to decreased productivity and work place accidents as well as various worstening of overall health. Please share this and check out @SaveStandard as they have great information on this as well. Please do not let the Sunshine Protection Act pass. It is backed by powerful entities that stand to gain financially from longer sunshine when you get off work. They are trading greed for increased deaths and disability.

90% of all the Africans that were enslaved were raided, captured, and delivered to the Europeans BY AFRICANS. Before that, Africans had sold 10 million Africans to the Arabs during the Trans-Saharan Slave Trade. The Arabs castrated their slaves. Holding Europeans “accountable” for slavery is gravely misguided, and another attempt to fabricate an illusion of existential excuse for the consistent self-inflicted failure of Africans to self actualize. Europeans didn’t invent slavery. Humans invented slavery. Egyptians had slaves. Babylonians had slaves. Persians had slaves. Greeks had slaves. Romans had slaves. The English had slaves. Africans had slaves. Humans were the first exchanged good amongst humans. But slavery didn’t remain after the Europeans. Britain abolished slavery. Britain lost around 2,000 naval officers on the sea enforcing abolition laws on African rulers who kept enslaving. Britain paid around 20 million pounds to free all slaves. The only fully paid the loan this 2015. No one should pay reparations for slavery. It is not the sin of any one group. Africans shouldn’t use an event that occurred 400 years ago as an excuse for lack of self actualization.
Today at the UN, 123 nations named the Transatlantic slave trade as humanity’s gravest crime. Britain abstained A Labour government! heirs to an empire that trafficked 3 million Africans, could not say yes to truth The abstention IS the verdict. Starmer, history has clocked you

I might have some sympathy for the permanent DST folks if we hadn’t *ALREADY TRIED IT* and discovered that it’s awful. Every country that has tried permanent DST (including the US!) has repealed it within a couple years. Every time people think they will love it, but they don’t.

Which special interests lobby politicians to keep imposing DST on us, at the expense of our sleep and safety? Here's a great analysis by Elizabeth Thompson: “Which business sectors might want the maximum number of daylight hours so people will stay out later and spend more money on their stuff? The interested parties are numerous, but three stand out.” - Big Candy - The Golf Lobby - Big BBQ, along with retail suppliers of garden equipment, sporting goods and building materials @SaveStandard @SupportStandard
OPINION by Elizabeth Thompson: Who benefits from daylight saving time? Big business, tourism and retail — but actual humans, not so much. It’s time to stick that extra hour where the sun don’t shine. thenevadaindependent.com/art…

As we prepare to spring forward this weekend, we want to remind you of the AASM's position on Daylight Saving Time. It is the position of the AASM that the United States should eliminate seasonal time changes in favor of permanent ST, which aligns best with human circadian biology. Evidence supports the distinct benefits of ST for health and safety, while also underscoring the potential harms that result from seasonal time changes to and from DST. Read our full position statement here: hubs.la/Q045FBg40

The US Senate's new 'reauthorization' bill offers a major endorsement for NASA's revamped Artemis plans. Seriously, this is a really great legislation overall. No idea how Isaacman got this done so quickly, but he delivered. arstechnica.com/space/2026/0…

Hey @SecKennedy will you save us from daylight savings time once and for all this year? It’ll be much healthier, surely, to stop the clock changes and stay on Standard Time year round. Time is running out. @SaveStandard
