Want to see a murder?
Libs in the White House press corps screamed at Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller that Elon Musk is “unelected!”
What happens next is a fatality.

Look at this footage. Iwo Jima, February 23, 1945.
A Marine cameraman stood next to Joe Rosenthal and kept his color film rolling as six Marines raised the flag.
Soon people said the famous photo was staged. This film proved it wasn't.
Few people know his name, or what happened to him nine days later.

Look at these two Navy fighters off Hawaii in 1942.
The man in front solved one of the Navy's biggest problems with a box of kitchen matches.
His wife used to come to the table at midnight and tell him to get some sleep.
Months later, over Midway, he found out if his idea would work.

Good evening @NCAA, I’d like to self-report all of my texts with Kyle Whittingham and Jason Beck.

SpaceX’s Arizona data center, per a county supervisor: “We could be reducing property taxes across the board in Cochise County, the entire county, by 20%”
Frank Antenori, whose district includes the site, brought up the county’s tax math during a live Q&A:
“Here’s just something to just chew on. Arizona has an expenditure limit requirement that is placed on counties. If we exceed that expenditure, we have to rebate back to the taxpayers a certain amount.”
“So, if we’re receiving revenue in from SpaceX, by law, we have to offset that to the taxpayers. We have the potential to reduce, based on the projected revenue they’re creating, as much as 20%.”
“Let me just say it again. We could be reducing property taxes across the board in Cochise County, the entire county, by 20% to offset for the revenue here, because we can’t spend all that money. So, we have to give that money back to the taxpayers. The law says we have to.”
“So, you could see a potential significant impact to local property taxes. What that is, I don’t know. We’re going to have to do the math on it. But the law, if we have this large increase in property tax revenue, we have to balance those rates. So that will reduce dramatically the property tax burden of every resident in the county.”
“The construction sales tax, which also is the TPT, the transaction privilege tax, the retail tax, and the jail excise tax. So that will be part of the construction tax. We could literally use that money to pay the jail off in 2 to 3 years, as opposed to the 13 to 20 years.”
“So this could be a revenue to eliminate the half-cent sales tax in 2 to 3 years. We can get rid of that half-cent sales tax.”
Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa: "We can have a strong working relationship with Elon Musk and his companies, but it has to be on our terms"
Jake Tapper asked her about blocking the sale of a Texas state park to SpaceX, and whether Musk might leave the state over it. Her answer:
“Well, look, as I said before, we have to have balance. These are our beaches we’re talking about. I mean, selling our beach to Elon Musk is just something that is almost unimaginable. It’s unacceptable. Our beaches are enshrined in our Texas Constitution as being free and open to the people of Texas because they are our beaches."
"We can have a strong working relationship with Elon Musk and his companies, but it has to be on our terms. It cannot be just running over the people of Texas. And that’s what changes now that I will be governor.”

This should have been the default approach.
From my experience in telecom, the cable and wireless industries know they aren't loved, they know they have to work tirelessly to maintain local relationships.
A smart telecom provider has strong state and municipal teams who are involved in all sorts of ways locally.
Sure consumers don't like paying monthly bills and are annoyed at customer service, but the telecom industry is treated by local officials as indispensible.
AI companies have so much more resources at their disposal, they should be doing this from the jump.
@benthompson has been right about this
stratechery.com/2026/data-ce…
NEW: The AI industry is scrambling to repackage a $10 trillion infrastructure buildout to appease a hostile electorate, that includes:
-No more non disclosure agreements
-Money for schools and cities
-Environmental concessions
-Labor protections
-Codified obligations over voluntary frameworks
-Job training programs
The bottom line: The race is on to see whether Democrats can translate election momentum into binding restrictions or the industry tries to head off tougher rules.

Please don’t blame @HaleyforMI for appearing with @MikeRogersForMI this morning. This is all on El Sayed. Period. He has had chance after chance to do what’s right. He did not. I don’t know who is running his campaign, but WOW that person and El Sayed sure failed. They possibly cost us @TheDemocrats the Senate.

Ha! To all the antisemites and anti-Zionists flooding the replies to my tweet about El-Sayed, and to those who think they can lecture me about what it means to be a Democrat, I’ve got news for you.
First, let’s get something straight and understand the situation here because you all are missing the point. I never said anyone should vote for Mike Rogers. My point was that El-Sayed’s own actions and his campaign have created an unnecessary controversy that could cost Democrats a critical Senate seat. Holding a candidate accountable for his political judgment is not the same as supporting his Republican opponent. And many of you attacking me have never knocked on a door, volunteered for a campaign, made a campaign contribution, or done anything to elect Democrats. So spare me the tweets and lectures.
I’ve raised millions of dollars to elect Democrats. I’ve made thousands of campaign stops, traveled across this country, and spent decades fighting for the ideals and principles of the Democratic Party. I know what this party stands for because I’ve dedicated a significant part of my life to fighting for it.
I am an American first. But I am also a proud Jew and a proud Zionist. And when I see hatred directed at my people, I will stand up, speak out, and refuse to be intimidated into silence.
I’ve marched with Black Lives Matter. I’ve sat in intersections protesting for women’s rights and reproductive freedom. I’ve supported LGBTQ+ organizations and fought for their equality. I’ve participated in Jewish-Muslim gatherings to build bridges and understanding between communities.
I’ve stood alongside people of different races, religions, backgrounds, and sexual orientations because I believe that fighting discrimination against one group means standing up against discrimination against ALL groups.
And that includes Jews. No exceptions. No double standards. No excuses.
Please don’t ask for my solidarity when your community faces hatred (which I do without asking) and then tell me to shut up when mine does.
My original tweet was about political judgment, accountability, and the consequences of El-Sayed’s actions. I believe his decisions could cost Democrats a critical United States Senate seat, undermine our efforts to win control of the Senate, and make it harder to achieve another goal I’ve spent years fighting for: electing a Democratic House majority and making Hakeem Jeffries Speaker of the House.
You are free to disagree with me. That’s democracy. But attacking my Jewish identity or my Zionism doesn’t make your argument stronger. It actually makes you weaker and a Jew hater.
I will not be bullied out of my party. I will not apologize for being Jewish. I will not apologize for believing in Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.
The Democratic Party I have spent decades fighting for stands for civil rights, equality, tolerance, and standing up against hatred. Those principles aren’t negotiable depending on who is being targeted.
And by G-d, I will continue fighting for those values, for my country, for my community, and for the Democratic Party I believe in.
You can try and push me down and out, but so sorry to say

“This is a country that was built from effectively nothing.
It was a country that was built by innovators, by entrepreneurs, by manufacturers.
On a bipartisan basis for decades, there was consensus in Washington D.C. that we should cut off all of that.
That we should send to the far corners of the globe, our manufacturing. That we should become dependent on supply chains located many oceans away, including in places that were bad actors and foreign adversaries.
@POTUS has uniquely stood up and ended that—and we are unleashing a new era, a new golden age of reindustrialization in this country.”

Today, @anduriltech and @qualcomm announced a new laptop that will eventually be 100% made in America, a “first step” toward creating a market for U.S.-manufactured components and total technological self-sufficiency.
Building computers in America should be a matter of “national pride,” says @PalmerLuckey.

Anduril and Qualcomm just launched BlueChip, a line of US-made laptops. Here's what you need to know.
BlueChip is a new computer product line from Anduril and Qualcomm. The first product is a rugged, waterproof, security-focused laptop. It's aimed at the military, government workers, police and first responders.
Anduril announced it today with the line "BlueChip. Built in America." The post says America made the first electronic computer to win a war. Now the country depends on its greatest adversaries to build the computers that run its economy and defends the nation. Founder Palmer Luckey says he wants to bring computer manufacturing back to the U.S. He means every individual component, not just assembly. Some of those parts are made only in China today.
Anduril will assemble the laptops at its Arsenal-1 plant near Columbus, Ohio. Circuit board assembly happens there. Qualcomm supplies its Snapdragon X Series chips, which TSMC builds at its new Arizona facility. The chips handle general-purpose processing and AI. The pitch also ties in Anduril's Lattice software, so AI can run in the field.
Anduril already has working prototypes. It plans to open preorders in 2027. Pricing isn't announced. Luckey estimates the laptops will cost about 20% more than typical high-end PCs.
Key numbers:
- About 90% of components come from the U.S. and allied nations
- Long-term goal: 100% American-sourced
- Orders open in 2027
- Estimated price: about 20% above high-end PCs
BlueChip is Anduril's move from unmanned jet fighters and robot submarines into laptops, with the aim of rebuilding an end-to-end American computer supply chain.

Always good to defer to the guys who played the game to analyze it. My old friend @JDue51 does a fine job here, as usual, but it must be said, seeing it in slow mo makes it all look even worse, with men in blue just floating off into space.
