BREAKING: Human remains belonging to a lab employee have been found in the Carson National Forest in New Mexico. Investigators say a gun was found near the remains of Melissa Casias, who worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Casias was last seen alive on June 26, 2025. Casias' husband, Mark, says she dropped him off at the lab where they were both employed on the day she disappeared. Melissa told her husband that she was working at another location within the lab that day. Mark says he later received a call from his wife's supervisor, who said she never showed up for work. Casias reportedly ended up working from home that day. Around midday, she dropped lunch off for her daughter. The couple's daughter says she later found her mom's belongings, including her phone, which was reset to factory settings, at their home. A family friend claims to have seen Melissa walking on State Road 518. Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker says Melissa Casias may have been a target for a potential abduction, according to the Daily Mail. "In a classified lab, or just a high clearance lab, they would basically be in the know on what's going on. And it wouldn't be the first time their administrative assistant has been targeted," he said.

No bail has been granted at this time due to the severity of the incident.

The Bears were not asking for a DIME of taxpayer money to build their stadium. They asked to not be taxed into oblivion, and for the government to build the roads, sewers, train facilities (on an existing line) and that's it. This is just political blah-blah-blah ass covering.

NEW: Teenage girl arrested after three horses were stabbed multiple times at a national barrel racing competition in Las Vegas. The girl was reportedly a competitor and had access to the barn where the horses were kept. Las Vegas police were called to the barn around 2 am and found three prized competition horses bleeding from stab wounds. One of the owners of a stabbed horse, Arielle Phillips, says the suspect was an "obsessed stalker." "A crazy obsessed stalker who has been following me on social media for a long time, obsessing over Detail, obsessing over meeting me. Sending me messages in which I would never respond to," Phillips said. "Last night at 11 pm, I was sitting with Detail at her stall for an hour. This girl came by twice trying to make conversation and ask weird questions." "Two minutes after I left her stall at 1202 am, this psychopath went in and brutally stabbed her 6 times at 1204 am, causing Detail to go frantic and get loose, taking off through the barn aisles, blood pouring everywhere." All three horses are expected to survive but are being kept out of competition. The suspect was arrested and booked on 12 counts. Her name has not been released because she is a minor.

A four-year college now costs $100,000. In 1980 it cost $8,000 in today's money. Nothing else inflated like that. How? Washington guaranteed every loan. Universities charged what they wanted. Bankruptcy law was rewritten so you can't escape. By design.

Breaking: Joseph Sanberg, co-founder of green-banking company Aspiration and charged with defrauding investors out of $248M, was just sentenced to 14 years in prison. Aspiration is at the center of an NBA investigation into the Clippers for salary cap circumvention. Story coming.

I guarantee a bunch of people are about to answer this with 100% confidence and still get it wrong. Take your shot!

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Police just released the bodycam footage in the killing of 18-year-old white male Henry Nowak and it CONFIRMS the police LAUGHED HIM OFF when he said he got stabbed Straight-up says: "I've been stabbed." COP: "Whereabouts? Don't think you have, mate!" NOWAK: "*Groaning* I CAN'T BREATHE." COP: "Put your hand in the cuff." Nowak says he can't breathe again. Then again while they just stand there. "We have to check [if he was stabbed], don't we?" THESE COPS ARE COMPLICIT IN THE MURDER!! THERE SHOULD BE WORLDWIDE OUTRAGE.

Seven properties, a Mercedes G-Wagon, sneakers worn by Kobe Bryant and a Mickey Mantle rookie card worth $1.5 million. All of these things were bought with taxpayer money. Paul Randall pleaded guilty in one of the largest Medicaid fraud schemes in the California history – diverting more than $270 million in tax dollars.

The membership of the National Basketball Coaches Association joins the NBA family in mourning the passing of legendary Head Coach and Hall of Famer, Rick Adelman. Rick Adelman coached in the NBA for 29 years, serving as a Head Coach for 23 seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves. Over his coaching career, Rick won 1,042 games (10th all-time), was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021 and received the NBCA Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023. Coach Adelman also enjoyed an eight-year NBA playing career with the San Diego Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Jazz, and Kansas City-Omaha Kings. Adelman will be remembered not only as a coach and a player, but also as a mentor to so many in the basketball community. Rick was a husband to Mary Kay for 56 years; father to Kathy, RJ, Laura, David, Caitlin, and Patrick; and a grandfather of twelve. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Adelman family during this difficult time.

Good math, but not all quite there: First, SpaceX pays fairly average, but for more than a decade they have offered regular (~bi-annual) liquidity to employees. To live comfortably (especially to have a family) in LA County, most employees would have sold a little bit here and there, if not a lot (e.g., if they were the sole earner in a household). Second, critically, because there is no double trigger (in order to facilitate the liquidity), most people default to "sell-to-cover" — i.e., ~40-50% of their holdings are immediately sold to cover the taxes on vest. Remember these vests are W-2 events. In order to not do this, the employee would need to come up with significant cash (because the taxes are paid against the price at vest, not the price at grant) — especially later on. However, two things make SpaceX particularly awesome IMO: 1. They gave employees the option to choose stock or options along the way. Someone who took options and paid the taxes with cash would have done very well. 2. They gave stock to everyone. There are a bunch of highly skilled workers that we on X never think of, like Tube Benders, Orbital Tube Welders, Cleanroom Technicians, etc. that are going to make significant fortunes. Maybe it's overly quixotic, but this last point is underrated part of @elonmusk attacking physical problems, not just software ones, with 100x thinking: a bunch of people in the types of jobs America needs and romanticizes (for good reason) will be rewarded with the kind of wealth that really would not be possible at any other company they would have chosen. An incredibly positive story that, if you can't see it in that light, you should look inward.
