If you paid taxes for 2025, you likely paid:

$124 — school lunch & nutrition programs
$49 — diplomacy to prevent wars
$19 — USPS
$19 — Federal Aviation Administration
$18 — national parks

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

Kim Dotcom: Told my wife to have dinner ready at 6 or I will obliterate her entire civilization. She now charges me a fee to use the bathroom, that used to be free, and I didn't get dinner. WTF

🏳️‍🌈 Miami Beach just unveiled its relocated rainbow crosswalk this morning!

Now rebuilt in city-owned Lummus Park — just feet from the original spot on Ocean Drive & 12th Street, where the state ripped it out last year.

I tossed my poem in the air; it landed upside down. Brian Bilston [all of the above text is displayed upside down on the screen]

I couldn’t watch either. I went to The Kennedy Space Center for the 1st time last year and walked around in circles in the Challenger display area crying. My young sons were so confused and I couldn’t explain it to them in way that would help them genuinely understand. 😭
