Last year Congress ignored the White House budget request to slash NASA funding and we gotta tell our MOCs to preserve NASA science.

Again, at some point, this becomes an existential crisis for the intelligence community. Their job is to deliver correct and actionable information to the president. If they are instead told to write politically motivated slop, what is their purpose?

I've met Eric Swalwell.

I've read his book. I've admired his work fighting Trump and bringing truth to light.

He's been an incredible Democrat.

But I believe these charges against him, and the details in this story. #BelieveWomen: www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/eric-swalwell-allegations-22198271.php?link_source=ta_bluesky_link&taid=69d95b2d52689200014166a5

This Administration is requesting $1.5 trillion for the Department of Defense while cutting health care, education, and other services Americans rely on. Working families are being told there’s no money for what they need, but there’s always money for what Trump wants.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.

I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Democrats are treating Rep. Eric Swalwell like a person who has been credibly accused of sexual misconduct, including rape. It doesn’t matter that he’s a Democrat — they’re appalled and not in denial. That’s the difference between the two parties.

Just a reminder, while I to hate Netanyahu and all that he and those who fully support him stand for. He does not represent every Jewish Person here and abroad. I see way too many generalizations being tossed around. As a Black woman, I will not feed that hate demon with ignorant takes.

I don't need to missilepost about the Xi gundam. Those are funnel missiles. We all know what those are, what they do, why they do it. There's also actually thematic relevance to them being Like That! (the final evolution of Newtype Weaponry is completely disposable)

Harris supporters were nastier than the people who held up mass deportation signs and made jokes about Haitians eating cats?

EVERYBODY'S HOME!!!!

god something about the mission commander being last out of the ship really got me. I know it's such a tiny thing but we're just surrounded all the time by leaders who don't give a shit and just like, the symbolism of making sure your people get out first is a lot

White leftists will never beat the allegations of being anti-black and anti-semitic. Because you're on here calling a Black man Zionist and using the term as a slur. Everyday you people prove to the mainstream with black people figured out about you all back in 2015.

Today, I signed the supplemental budget into law — which makes my free community college program permanent.

We’ve made great strides towards making a quality education accessible and affordable here in Maine, and I’ll fight to do the same in the Senate.

YOU DON'T FUCKING LIVE HERE SO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING HAPPENING HERE. THE PROBLEM IS NOT DEMOCRATS. THEY'VE IMPEACHED HIM AT LEAST THREE TIMES AND NUMEROUS OTHER CABINET OFFICIALS. YELL AT REPUBLICANS OR JUST MIND YOUR BUSINESS BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. GOOD LORD.

LMAO y’all gotta come harder than this man. We know about the No Kings protests, we also know when the Gaza protesters protested private citizen Kamala Harris at her book signings but the same energy for Trump and the GOP is virtually non existent. Why?

Love how Bandai decides to do a HG of the mass-produced goober L-Gaim shortly after releasing a repop of the vintage 80 kits (in both flavors).
