Tesla really made the best gear selector in the world only to discontinue it
Air Force 1st Heli Squadron, which typically used ADS-B transponder once a year, is currently flying 4 helicopters with ADS-B on. Could this be because of the urging of @SenatorCantwell at last weeks senate hearing? Following up on the letter @EleanorNorton wrote at my request?
Question: do you hate the Constitution or are you just not all that familiar with it?
Extremely disappointed that you got rid of your EV only to purchase a gasoline vehicle.
Musk campaigning: There should be no need for FOIA, because all government records should be public by default. Musk governing: My “efficiency” team isn’t subject to FOIA and if we are, we’ll need three years to produce records. nytimes.com/2025/03/10/us/…
There should be no need for FOIA requests. All government data should be default public for maximum transparency.
Yesterday republicans voted to raise the deficit by $4 trillion dollars and today @DOGE is fretting about 107 unused photoshop licenses. Y'all got played.
Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.
This is this administration’s most foolish action entirely on its own terms: CFPB returns billions more to taxpayers than it spends. Removing it redirects billions of dollars away from the taxpayer, plain and simple.
CFPB RIP 🪦
I would trust DOGE more if they started at the top with the $64 billion in PPP fraud instead of instantly nuking humanitarian efforts for babies in Africa. who does that.
"we're spending $1 million in taxpayer money so professors can mail each other little notes?? we have a post office—these toys for academics are emblems of waste" —DOGE, 1969, killing arpanet
I'm not sure why it's so hard for so many smart people to understand what's going on here The crazy science projects are emblems of the waste, they are not the point of the efficiency thrust
I’m excited to bring live helicopter locations, fused with our community driven operator data, to copterspotter.com - we have operator information on many aircraft shown as registered to shell corporations on trackers like flightaware.
.@samuelcrees has worked tirelessly to bring live helicopter locations to our map on CopterSpotter.com. This gives residents the best possible insight into the actual purpose of our region's helicopters, not simply who owns them. patreon.com/posts/live-hel…
