I guarantee you when @elonmusk looks at his trillion-dollar payday today, he's not thinking, "Wow I can buy a bigger jet or a bigger yacht." He's thinking, "Wow I can build better rockets!"

A Russian fighter pulled off the most confusing flying squirrel takedown on a French opponent and nobody in the building could explain it, the French guy was completely lost

Just had a conversation with Senator John Cornyn at the airport. I was very gracious & asked him to pass the SAVE America Act.

Blame the game, not the player. Elon Musk has paid more income taxes than just about anyone on the planet.
Replying to @SenSanders
Bernie, is it a Savings Program or an Insurance Program? If it's an insurance program, why would he pay astronomical premiums for minimal coverage? Or if it's a savings program, why would he not be able to withdraw what he contributed? So which is it? YOU, of all people, know that Social Security is effectively a Ponzi scheme. Don't shame people for treating it like one.

I still have my copy of the CACM issue where Ken Thompson published his Turing Award paper.

At least give Ken Thompson credit...

Was in Big Bend NP over the weekend, testing various lenses on the Milky Way. This shot used a 7Artisans 10mm f/2.8 lens on a Canon R5 mk II body, vis Ha mod by @spencerscamera. ISO 6400 at f2.8 30 seconds sky, 4 minutes foreground. So nice when I can set up next to my Jeep.

This is pure gold😂☠️😂 A woman programmed her phone to handle scam calls with an AI voice assistant using Trump’s voice. “You sound like a cheap Indian scammer, baby boy, sitting in a dirty call center in Mumbai, right there with your 47 cousins.”

🚨Los Angeles Election Fraud Caught on Hidden Camera LA election petitioners were caught on tape giving homeless individuals other voters' information, instructing them to forge voter names and signatures, and offering cash and drugs as incentives to register to vote.
CALIFORNIA ELECTIONS FRAUD CASH FOR BALLOTS PART I: Homeless Bribed with Cash & Drugs In Exchange For Registering To Vote & Signing Election Petitions Caught On Tape Undercover On Skid Row In California. “You can just put Pinocchio Lane.” California NGOs Encourage Fake Addresses To Homeless People To Sign Petitions & Register Voters, A State & Federal Felony. Footage Shows 28 Instances Of Cash Changing Hands For Ballot Signatures & Voter Registration Forms. Many of the petitioners had no understanding of the petitions’ purpose they were advertising. Circulators also instructed individuals to use fake addresses. “Oh, you can just fake an address.” Weingart Center, which received hundreds of millions in public funding, is on tape directing people to where the fraudulent petitioners are located, and directing homeless individuals to petitioners & coaching plausible deniability. “See they say ignorance is no excuse for the law. But a lot of times, I have to say ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea.’” We encountered 28 instances of petitioners offering cash, cigarettes, and marijuana for signatures on petitions. Weingart employees advised: “See they say ignorance is no excuse for the law. But a lot of times, I have to say ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea.’” All happening outside taxpayer-funded housing organizations. Weingart CEO earned $432,000 before resigning from the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency. James O’Keefe and the OMG Team went undercover on Skid Row, posing as homeless individuals. On hidden cameras, petitioners admitted they are paid $7–$10 per signature, sometimes earning $1,000 or more per day, collecting signatures from individuals with minimal knowledge of what they were signing. “$7 a signature, $5 a signature, $10 a signature.” “We gon’ give you $2.” Populus Inc., a political consulting firm, was circulating petitions funded by @Uber, @Delta, @United, and the American Hotel & Lodging Association (@AHLA). On camera, one petitioner said, “We have one that taxes billionaires 5%. One-time tax. 5% and that’s gonna go towards healthcare.” Other petitions sought to overturn LA’s $30 minimum wage for hotel and airline workers. Paying per signature and encouraging fake addresses violates federal and state election law and is proof of fraud happening in California. Weingart employees were caught directing the homeless to the location of the petitioners and coaching them on plausible deniability. Intake coordinator Jason Warren told an undercover journalist exactly where and when to find them: “Most time they be right across the street, under that tree… Monday through Friday.” In 2016, nine individuals were arrested on Skid Row for exchanging cash and cigarettes for signatures; in 2019 they were charged on 14 counts under the exact same California Elections Code section. Yet when confronted, nearby LAPD officers dismissed the activity as “a civil lawsuit.” “Paying per signature violates state election law and is evidence of election fraud in California,” the investigation concludes. On Skid Row, we captured conduct on tape that violates Federal Law 52 U.S. Code §10307 and state law California Election Code §18603. Part II coming soon. @CAgovernor @MayorOfLA @AGPamBondi @TheJusticeDept @NathanHochmanDA @GovPressOffice @LADAOffice @CASOSVote @USAttyEssayli @GavinNewsom Follow Citizen Justice League @ctznjusticelg A network of citizen journalists exposing corruption and demanding accountability for America YT: youtube.com/@citizenjusticel… IG: instagram.com/citizenjustice… FB: facebook.com/share/1CdcJb1bu… TikTok: tiktok.com/@citizenjusticele… Paid partnerships with: American Independence Gold: Free Extra Gold & Silver with Qualifying Purchases.

Spencer Pratt (@spencerpratt) needs to tell his voters to check their ballot status and file a complaint if it hasn't been received yet. MANY people who voted for Spencer are finding out their ballots haven't been received. You can check ballot status here: california.ballottrax.net/vo…

Did you know that the parliamentarian can be dismissed at ANY moment? The parliamentarian serves at the pleasure of the Senate Majority Leader. Thune has the sole authority to remove AND replace the parliamentarian w/o a vote from the Senate. Fire Elizabeth MacDonough!

In last night’s ballot drop Spencer Pratt received ZERO votes out of 24,000. The odds of that happening are in the multiple trillions! They’re cheating. @dojphofficial. cbsnews.com/losangeles/live-…
