How Elon Musk’s SpaceX Secretly Allows Investment From China As a U.S. military contractor, SpaceX sees allowing Chinese ownership as fraught. But it will allow the investment if it comes through secrecy hubs like the Cayman Islands, court records say. “It is…

It’s not uncommon for foreigners to buy U.S. stock through a vehicle in the Cayman Islands, often to save money on taxes. But experts said it was strange for the party on the other side of a deal — the U.S. company — to prefer such an arrangement.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg ). The post reads: "Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that."

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121

Federal judge pushes back on acting Social Security head over threat to close agency Leland Dudek argued that a ruling blocking Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team from access to sensitive taxpayer data could apply to all employees.

The Trump administration wants to shut down all of Social Security over a ruling blocking 11 DOGE workers from sticking their fingers in your private data.

11 DOGE workers. 73 million Americans.

This is illegal. If it happens, will force millions of seniors into poverty.

Vivian Wilson on Being Elon Musk’s Estranged Daughter, Going Viral, and Protecting Trans Youth Elon Musk’s estranged daughter is coming into her own.

Vivian Wilson (@thevivllainous.bsky.social) is extremely online; unlike Elon Musk, her father, she’s really good at it. “Most of [the right] have the charisma of a soaking bathrobe. I mean, it's not my fault that most of them don't know how to be funny. It's not that hard.” ⤵️

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

How the Terrorgram Collective’s Neo-Nazi Influencers Groomed a Teen to Kill The murders of two people outside an LGBTQ+ bar at first looked like the act of a lone shooter. A ProPublica and FRONTLINE investigation shows they were, in fact, the culmination of a coordinated, int...

“I’d like to see him (Trump) sifting through spiny naiad in 120-degree weather looking for parasitic snails. He’s the one that goes golfing on the government dime. I don’t even know how to golf.” - Riley Rackliffe, aquatic ecologist at Lake Mead.

Wednesday's ruling shows the Supreme Court is just one vote shy of making Trump and Musk kings And four justices are joining in the assault on any judge who stands in their way.

SCOTUS may have ordered the government not to stiff its contractors.

But as @pemalevy.bsky.social warns, the decision also clearly showed that four of the justices fully believe that Trump and Musk should be able to unilaterally turn off congressionally-mandated spending.

This Charter School Superintendent Makes $870,000. He Leads a District With 1,000 Students. On paper, Salvador Cavazos earns less than $300,000 to run Valere Public Schools, a small Texas charter network. But taxpayers likely aren’t aware that in reality, his total pay makes him one of the country’s highest-earning superintendents.

Some federal workers are going back to work.

The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back.

Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired.

The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.

The stakes are just too high.

Trump Threatens Schools in Dark Attack on First Amendment Donald Trump is threatening schools that allow “illegal protests”—whatever that is.

President Trump's orders and rhetoric are intended to chill dissent and censor views he dislikes.

Let's be clear: the government can't threaten funding to universities for simply doing their job to foster an environment of free speech and free inquiry.

The numbers get worse for these guys if you create a fake GDP along these lines. What happened here is Elon and Trump crashed the economy in less than two months and Elon’s now whining about macro indicators to cover his ass like a little bitch.
