…now this: “The Department of Justice filed a request for a court order to enforce an administrative subpoena in an investigation into Space X on a charge of discrimination in hiring. According to the filing, the DOJ’s Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER) said it received a complaint from a non-citizen in May, and Space X had not fully complied with information requests…”
I don’t know if this is hostility to SpaceX from the new administration, zealousness in “protecting” immigrants, or both.
I don’t think this gun-grabbing monstrosity would make it through the Senate even without the filibuster. It probably can’t even get through the House. There are too many vulnerable Democrats in red states and districts.
It’s official; they’re going to do another static fire, perhaps this month. This almost certainly moves the first flight out to next year. Not that it matters.

Forget the fact that to first order, there are no solar-panel manufacturers here. Has anyone done an economic analysis of shifting from a high-density energy source to a low one? Kerry et al say that solar-panel production is the one in which jobs are growing fastest, but that’s meaningless outside the context of how many there are, or how low labor productivity they are in energy production, compared to gas and oil. It’s easy to grow something that is minuscule fast, but that doesn’t solve the problems of all the people Biden just threw out of work.
Kristi Noem is the female Ronald Reagan, and she may be the second, if not the first woman president.
[Update a while later]
Yes, as pointed out in comments, the first elected woman president. And she may be the first, period, if Demented Joe manages to hang on for four years (or something happens to Harris before something happens to Joe).
