@nanahendrix66 Artemis includes every government aerospace contractor except SpaceX. Artemis has spent $93 BILLION through FY’25 and has two satellite launches. No reuse. NASA pays SpaceX ~$275 million to put 4 astronauts into space. Extremely high reliability and frequent reusable launches.

@MariaDavidson @kylenabecker There’s nothing temporary about government COVID spending. Once spending establishes a high water mark, that becomes the new baseline for all spending. China probably understood this may ultimately self-destruct the USA. Only answer is to starve the beast of cash!

US population grew 6% in the last decade. Federal spending grew 40%, inflation adjusted. Not as bad as California, but you have to ask - where did all the money go?

@Rephughblackwel Afterfederalizing TSA in 2001, airport screening effectiveness didn't measurably improve—DHS/GAO tests showed detection rates similar to or worse than pre-9/11 private contractors. Yet costs exploded: security fees doubled+ to $5.60–$11.20 round-trip, plus ~$11/passenger total.

@muskosophy @ElonClipsX I was a finance executive with the largest satellite operator at the time. I was having lunch with some of our top rocket engineers and asked them about Elon's "grasshopper" concept at the time. They all chuckled. NEVER underestimate ELON!

@GuntherEagleman Great they figured this out once a twenty something kid exposed it. Where has the Federal Government (Democrat and Republicans) been this entire time while blindly funding this fraud? Asleep at the wheel.

BREAKING: California’s Medicaid program lost $146 BILLION to fraud under Gavin Newsom. HHS officials confirmed the number to Chris Rufo. That is more than Warren Buffett’s entire fortune. This week the Trump Justice Department struck hard. Eight people arrested in a $50 million hospice fraud ring in Newsom’s state. One Anaheim couple allegedly stole $7 million while claiming 97 percent of their “terminal” patients somehow survived. WOW

I just went through Elon Musk's page. No word on the Artemis II crew's Moon landing or their beautiful Earth shots. If this was done by SpaceX, he would have been talking about it nonstop. The guy is petty. Come on, celebrate a good thing even if it not done by your company.

🚨 BREAKING: Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was treated for dehydration at a hospital in a previously undisclosed March 20 incident — FOX Alito, 76, felt lightheaded, went to the hospital in Philadelphia, and returned home the same night without complications 🙏🏻 He's had "NO ISSUES" since, thankfully Alito is an absolutely INCREDIBLE justice. I hope when he eventually retires we get a replacement just as based and pro-America 🇺🇸

@SenWarren Elon projects paying >$500B in taxes over his lifetime (incl. death). That's ~1.85 million times the average American's ~$270k lifetime federal+state income taxes. One year alone was $11B+ — the largest individual bill ever. Facts over feelings. 🚀 #Taxes"

@mcuban Most people have no idea the size of investment portfolios of “nonprofit” hospital groups - Kaiser Permanente: ~$67–76B - CommonSpirit Health: ~$17.7B - Cleveland Clinic: ~$16.8B - Mayo Clinic: ~$21B Most generate investment income that frequently exceeds operating profit.

Why aren’t any of these at risk hospitals publishing their full accounting so everyone can see where they spend their money ? All but one group of hospitals that I have looked at potentially investing in, spend so much on consultants and fees that it’s no wonder they are at risk Plus, I have NEVER seen an industry that is worse than hospitals when it comes to buying medications and items like implants, screws, other devices. They overpay for everything. And then when you show them how to save money, their “supply chain” employees resist any change. They are so set in their ways, it’s a shock more don’t go out of business. Prove me wrong.
NBC News@NBCNews

More than 400 hospitals across the U.S. are at high risk of closing or cutting services because of the Medicaid cuts in President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” according to an analysis from the progressive watchdog group Public Citizen. nbcnews.com/health/health-…
