So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate.

Good.

Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose.

She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot.

It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.

Sean Duffy call sign DUMBASS

The secretary of the Department of Transportation has no experience in transportation or aviation. Keep this in mind when hearing DUMBASS open his mouth.

The opinions of a fool with a fancy title are and always will be the opinions of a fool.

For comparison, every robotic mission NASA has ever sent in its history, from the dawn of the Space Age 65 years ago to today, from Mercury to Pluto and beyond, has cost less than $40B.

I know which one has done more for humankind and which one should be dismantled.
Mark Zuckerberg’s gamble on the ‘Metaverse’ has cost Meta more than $77B

The company now plans to cut spending on it and shift focus to AI wearables instead

It’s 2025, why the hell are political campaigns still thinking best engagement is knocking on doors and making phone calls is how to reach voters?

I applaud their efforts but i think technology is available to engage and reach people in 2025.
THE STATS ARE IN

To all the volunteers - THANK YOU!!!!

Polls are open TODAY until 7 PM. You can knock on doors, phone bank, and still get involved if able.

The NTSB has released the preliminary report into UPS 2976 with these powerful images.

Gyroscopic precession may have been a factor as the engine pylon is under a lot of lateral force during rotation due to this physics principle.
