When @SaxaVord_Space CEO Frank Strang invited me to cut the ribbon–together with Kid Astronauts Grace and Harry–to officially open the fully-licensed Spaceport, the UK's first-ever vertical launch facility, I may as well gone to space.

In six days since Trump removed US troops from Syria, 160,000 civilians have been displaced. Any number have been beaten, raped, murdered. These were our allies. Most are Christians. Donald Trump single-handedly delivered them to execution.
Somberly, it has not gone unnoticed.

Deaths from measles in 2018: 140,000, most of whom were children.
To put this in perspective, in 2016 that number was 90,000.
Until the social media platforms do something about anti-vaxxers, their pernicious evil will continue to spread like measles through a population of uninoculated children.

Special nod to that percentage in Mississippi who voted @cindyhydesmith, who supports Trump's tariffs, over @espyforsenate, who opposes them. MS is the 3rd-largest producer of soybeans in US.
Remember: we're borrowing money from the Chinese to pay a subsidy to farmers who aren't selling their soy beans to the Chinese because Trump has a trade war with the Chinese.
Cue Inception music.

That’s a reply and a dodge. You asked him, “Are you now or did you ever work for Russia?” He didn’t answer, he played to his base, and throughout it all you showed the world your true colors: yellow journalism and quisling orange.

This 100%. Andrew Yang’s ground crew is the best surprise of 2020. #YangGang is like the students in Hong Kong protesting the CCP, the Obama for America 2008 street team, and the r/highqualitygifs subreddit all rolled up into a single major movement of US democracy.
By far the most interesting candidate whose momentum no one saw coming this election cycle has been @AndrewYang. His #YangGang is not only devoted but championing him at every turn even when cable outlets ignored him.

Pulling no punches: "When Barr proved unable to buy Berman off with a no-show Justice Department job where he could "build a book of business" to exploit after returning to the private sector, and after his lie about Berman's resignation was exposed, Trump simply fired him."
Michael Cohen was Donald Trump's fixer, until he got caught, pleaded guilty, and went to prison. Now Bill Barr has taken the job. My latest:

“Trump reportedly told John Kelly and Mick Mulvaney that he did not want “a single dollar” going to Puerto Rico “because he thought the island was misusing the money and taking advantage of the government,””
The Puerto Rico travesty belongs at the forefront of our attention and at the top of Trump’s political epitaph. This week, we learned that he wanted to withhold every penny of relief from the island. The shutdown is actually making that happen. My latest. rol.st/2FJZm6r

Moved into new apartment in Cape Canaveral yesterday. The very first conversation one of my new neighbors had with me was about this–and how no matter what I should vote against ANYONE who supports taxing cancer patients and chronic pain sufferers.
Florida Republicans are trying to restrict access & create a new tax on medical marijuana patients. Sign our petition against House Bill 1455.
Decisions on treatment are between doctors & patients, not politicians.
