New Penn-Wharton study shows per-capita federal spending on each age group:
Seniors: $43,700
Children and young adults: $4,300.
Clearly, the answer is to eliminate the FICA cap, use all "tax-the-rich" revenues on more SocSec & Medicare costs, and push that ratio to 15:1. 🙄

The reason for Gen. George's firing, in part:
Hegseth for months has pressed Gen. George & Army Secy Dan Driscoll to remove 4 officers -- 2 Black & 2 female -- from a promotions list. George & Driscoll have refused, citing the officers long and exemplary service.
Trip Gabriel@tripgabriel
Hegseth's firing of Gen. Randy George "reflects growing hostility between Hegseth and the Army’s leadership," military officials told NYT nytimes.com/2026/04/02/us/…

If you don't think that a president should talk this way about people -- or that anyone should -- you don't have "TDS." You're just decent.

Trump on Somali-Americans in Minnesota: "They're low IQ. I can generalize. They're low IQ people. They're bad people." (Note that moments later he claims Indianapolis is in Minnesota)

This would have been an impeachably scandalous thing for a president to say even a decade ago.

@GeorgiaTech @RamblinReckClub @GTAthletics @GTFootball I am begging angry MAGA's in the comments to check the calendar. Please!
(good work GT admin)

BREAKING: Georgia Tech officially bans "hell" and "helluva" from its fight song, flags on the Ramblin' Wreck, and Rat Caps. "Doozy" will replace “helluva," and "tarnation" will replace "hell." #TTWg 🐝| c.gatech.edu/tarnation

I know it's boring and repetitive to talk about how grossly evil Trump is, but the fact remains: Trump is grossly evil, in a way that's pretty much unprecedented in this country.
English
@factpostnews I mean, I realize CPAC is just MAGA at this point, but if they were *actually* conservative in any way, they absolutely would be calling for impeaching this president.

@KenKirtland17 Berger has inside info that agrees with your reading of this! LFG!!

NASA will share a ton of Artemis planning information tomorrow at HQ. I’ve highlighted Garcia-Galan because he was deputy program manager for Gateway prior to this.

"Returning to the Moon's surface"
Not "returning to the moon". Specifically the moon's "surface".
Yes

@KenKirtland17 YES! I’ve read it twice. Absolutely loved it both times. Maybe my favorite novel.

Should I still read the book for PHM?
I’m guessing I know the answer lol
English
@zacharywefel @JeremiahDJohns Yeah when I read it the first time, my initial thought was how much I wanted it to be a movie (it’s so cinematic), while being certain that it was unadaptable (one person alone mostly in his thoughts, Rocky, all the sciency weeds, etc.)
But apparently they nailed it. I’m stoked.
English
@RocketsAreFun_ @JeremiahDJohns It’s super fun. Faithful to the book while adapting in smart ways to the different medium.

Unable to tell if it's just my algorithm or not, but I'm seeing an incredible amount of Project Hail Mary posting this weekend.
Going to see it on the third largest IMAX screen in the world tomorrow. Very excited.

@claydumas Let us pray it is so. That would be a silver lining to this current shit show.

People haven't wrapped their heads around how much the politics of renewables have been altered by the fact that Texas is kicking everyone's ass in building solar, wind, and batteries. Greg Abbot sounds woke when he talks energy now. That's a preview of what's coming nationally.
Gaurab Chakrabarti@Gaurab
Reminder that Texas (owner of the Permian basin) is quietly running on 70% renewable energy.

ICE is straightforwardly a gestapo secret police now, disappearing people at the president’s personal direction for simply crossing one of his cronies

@alandail @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Dont need falcon heavy. Just Falcon 9 / Dragon if all we’re talking about is LEO. I think that’s the endgame this is setting up
English
@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Why is SLS needed at all then? Can't Falcon Heavy or New Glenn launch Orion to earth orbit for a fraction of the cost of SLS?
English
NEWS: NASA is planning a bigger @SpaceX Moon mission role using Starship, in a massive blow to Boeing.
With the new proposal, Boeing's SLS would no longer be used to boost Orion close to the moon. Instead, Starship and Orion would dock in Earth orbit, giving Starship the pivotal role of propelling the capsule to the moon’s orbit, before taking astronauts down to the surface. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
