Liberty
Liberty is not a value of the Left, or Democrats.
Coming Together
Amidst all of the viciousness on social media, it’s nice to see people from all sides of the aisle coming together in grief at the loss of a colleague’s young daughter.
SpaceX’s Success
In which Drew Johnson doesn’t know WTF he’s talking about.
#ProTip, Drew. If you’re worried about taxpayer money being wasted on space progress, go dig into SLS/Orion.

The “Relief” Bill
Why yes, our government is totally broken. Why do you ask?
We need a constitutional amendment to fix this sort of thing, but while you could probably get enough states on board, you’d never get two thirds of Congress to do it. It was a rare moment of agreement between AOC and Ted Cruz. I hope that Trump vetoes this abomination, and tells them to try again.
