Just a ghost of my former self. Gone on to Bluer Skys. Think I'll be Henry Flagler for a while. He's the guy that put Florida on the map.

@elonmusk This is actually the one thing you have right.
All the other DOGE stuff is crap.
English

This shows why a regulatory overhaul is necessary.
The burden of mountains of regulations is why the high speed rail can’t get down in California and the bridge that the ship hit still hasn’t been fixed.

The greatest DOGE ad you’ll ever see. Jon Stewart finding out how the Biden Administration spent $42 Billion to expand broadband to more Americans, and connected ZERO (0) homes in 4 years.
English

@EricAbbenante @elonmusk The allocated money didn't get spent because NEPA and other regulations.
You wanna fix something that's broken? Fix NEPA and restrictive zoning.

Ezra Klein stuns Jon Stewart by detailing the failures of Biden's 'Build Back Better':
Ezra Klein: "7.5 billion passed for a nationwide network of electric vehicle chargers. We also get 42 billion dollars to do rural broadband. By the end of the administration, they just have not happened.
How the law becomes a series of implementation rules, then a notice of funding opportunity, then there's a comment period, then there's a challenge period for the comments, then there's a series of court cases.
Rural broadband:
A 14 stage process. There's a period where the commerce department needs to draw up a map of what parts of the country don't have the right amount of broadband. Then there's a challenge period on the map.
56 states and jurisdictions try to apply for this money.
By the end of 2024, 3 [of 56] have got to the end of the process."
Jon Stewart: "End of the process meaning they've built it?"
Klein: "No of course not. They just got to the point where in theory they could get the money to build."

@elonmusk Spoiler alert...they ain't at CDC, NIH, etc.
They are in your Dr. office working Byzantine insurance claim system.

@HowardMortman "I've delegated that authority to someone."
Did you catch that?

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

@RonFilipkowski He's lying.
It's actually strange for a MAGA to sweat while lying. Maybe his conscience isn't fully dead yet?
English

@Suzy_1776 @RadioFreeTom He earned those cases.
Also. Fulton Co. GA case well earned.
English

@Suzy_1776 @RadioFreeTom J6 and documents cases. Can't happen if he wasn't president...
English

@Suzy_1776 @RadioFreeTom Of course, a lot of his indictments were from things he actually did as or because of presidency...
FAFO failure!
English

@RadioFreeTom He was only indicted because he DID run. Never would have happened if he didn’t.
English

@RadioFreeTom That's what's lost that I'm mourning.
Is Jan 19th the end of "Pax Americana"?

@joncoopertweets Kash Kow. Stolen from the brilliant @GeorgeTakei .

@GalwayGirl4Ever @SenatorCooney @GoBrightline Rochester to NY is 370 miles. Schedule is 7 hours. 53 mph avg.
Brightline is 250 miles in 3-1/2 hours. 71 mph avg.
CSX runs 10x the number of freight trains on the route west of Albany than FEC does north of Miami.

@SenatorCooney @GoBrightline What’s the difference in travel time between ROC & NYC compared to Amtrak?
English

Successful couple of days checking out @GoBrightline and traveling via their high-speed rail system in Orlando, FL. The future of transportation is now and I'm ready to bring this transformative technology to upstate New York.

@gtconway3d They should have grease on hand for the Phillies parade that didn't happen...
English

Did they grease the light poles? Or is that the plan for tomorrow night?

PHILADELPHIA — Nobody has climbed a porta poddy yet, and Secret Service won’t let 40 ozs in, so we’re not at Super Bowl parade or Live 8 levels. But there’s a pretty huge crowd of Kamala Harris supporters gathering in front of the Rocky Steps / site of Jason Kelce’s speech.
