If NASA had the failure rate SpaceX does, Elon would be firing everyone and Congress would be demanding to know where the money is going.

Slashing Medicaid to Pay for Trump’s Tax Cuts Could Lead to Vast State Shortfalls Republicans have proposed lowering the federal share of costs for Medicaid expansions, which could reshape the program by gutting one of the Affordable Care Act’s major provisions.

House Republicans hunting for ways to pay for President Trump’s tax cuts have called for cutting the federal government’s share of Medicaid spending, which could result in millions losing health coverage unless states decide to play a bigger role in its funding.

While Macron has Trump distracted, Canada is in Europe reinforcing their alliances across the continent. It is building a global coalition to counter Trump’s tariff attacks.

Mark Alford (R-MO): Elon Musk has contracts with the federal government, but he is also, I think, doing an effective job at weeding out the waste, abuse, and fraud in the government.

Constituents: BOOO!!! SHOW ME!!! CONFLICT OF INTEREST!!! HE IS THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE!!!
