"Elon Musk’s SpaceX has failed to establish it was a victim of political bias by a California agency that voted to reject expanding its rocket launches in the state. U.S. District Judge Stanley Blumenfeld Jr in Los Angeles said he would dismiss the case because SpaceX had not shown it was harmed by the California Coastal Commission's vote against its plan to expand its rocket launches from the Vandenberg U.S. Space Force Base in Santa Barbara."

Any business that moves to Texas, just so they can avoid paying for healthcare, and avoid paying taxes, is a business I do not want to do business with.

This is not failure of other states. This is failure of people failing to realize these corporations don't give a fuck about you.

When you call Representative and Senators on today? Here's our suggestions:
* NO support of any budget Continuing Resolution unless it's clean and reigns DOGE in.
* Oppose any legislation to cut the Department of Education.
