Rep. Donalds Introduces Bill to Move NASA Headquarters to Fla.
Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., who is running in Florida's governor's race, has introduced a bill in the House that would move NASA headquarters from the nation's capital to his home state.
The Consolidating Aerospace Programs Efficiently at Canaveral Act was introduced March 27 and is the House version of legislation that was introduced in the Senate by Sens. Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Ashley Moody, R-Fla.
According to The Hill, the bill seeks to relocate NASA headquarters to Brevard County, Florida, within a year of being enacted to join Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and Kennedy Space Center on Florida's Space Coast.
Supporters of the measure reportedly note that moving NASA to Florida makes sense, given the presence of the existing aerospace infrastructure in that area of the Sunshine State and the use of Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as NASA's primary launch sites.
Court: Trucker Can Seek Triple Damages in CBD Suit
The Supreme Court on Wednesday sided with a truck driver who wants to sue for triple damages over a CBD hemp product he said was falsely advertised as being free from marijuana's active ingredient and resulted in him getting fired.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday sided with a truck driver who wants to sue for triple damages over a CBD hemp product he said was falsely advertised as being free from marijuana's active ingredient and resulted in him getting fired.
The 5-4 opinion cleared the way for the trucker to seek triple damages under an anti-mob law. It doesn't decide his underlying claims that the product's THC content got him fired.
Douglas Horn said he wanted to treat chronic shoulder and back pain after a serious accident. He chose the product because it was advertised as being free from THC, which gives marijuana its high. CBD is a generally legal hemp compound that is widely sold as a dietary supplement.
But lab tests taken after Horn was fired for failing a routine drug test confirmed the product had THC, he claimed.
Horn sued the Vista, California-based Medical Marijuana Inc. and sought triple damages under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, often known as RICO.
The company pushed back, disputing Horn's account and saying he can't sue for higher damages because he's claiming a personal injury rather than harm to his business.
Horn said his firing was a business injury and he's been financially ruined, and an appeals court allowed Horn's claim to go forward.
Musk: 'I Expected to Lose' Wisconsin Supreme Court Race
Tech mogul Elon Musk, who oversees the Department of Government Efficiency, said a Wisconsin Supreme Court race he backed with millions of dollars could decide the trajectory of Western civilization.
Tech mogul Elon Musk, who oversees the Department of Government Efficiency, said a Wisconsin Supreme Court race he backed with millions of dollars could decide the trajectory of Western civilization.
Now with the results in and his candidate defeated, he says he expected to lose.
Democrat-backed Susan Crawford easily defeated conservative candidate Brad Schimel in Tuesday’s election, even though Musk campaigned heavily for Schimel, spending millions.
"I expected to lose, but there is value to losing a piece for a positional gain," Musk replied to an X user early Wednesday morning.
Musk was responding to a user, who thanked Musk for campaigning in Wisconsin.
"Elon knew that it was a long shot to win the Wisconsin Supreme Court race," the user wrote. "He knew his involvement in the race would bring more violence against his companies but he fully committed his money and time anyway. Thanks Elon. We have amazing warriors on our side. Keep fighting."
In a Spaces conversation on X before polls closed Tuesday, Musk said the election could decide ‘the future of the world."
Musk said on Wednesday voters approving an amendment to add a voter ID law to the constitution was the most important result. The voter ID law had been stuck in place for more than a decade in the state.
President Donald Trump also cheered the results of the voter ID proposition.
Senate Democrats Probe AI Replacing Dept. of Education Employees
Leading Democrats in the U.S. Senate want to know if artificial intelligence programming is being used to replace employees at the Department of Education.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), along with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass) and Sen. Mazie Hirono (Hawaii) have signed a letter asking Education Secretary Linda McMahon if that is happening, The Hill reported.
The letter noted a story from The New York Times that indicated call center employees could be targeted by the department for AI replacement. The senators wrote, "DOGE's (Department of Government Efficiency) proposal threatens to misinform borrowers and families, lead to data privacy breaches, and pose conflicts of interest arising from Elon Musk's financial stake in AI development."
Amazon.com put in a last-minute offer to buy short-form video app TikTok, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Rep. Buchanan: No on 'Cuts' for Healthcare Entitlements
The Republican chair of a key House subcommittee said he's not for "cuts" in healthcare entitlements while seeking savings.
Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., chair of the Ways and Means Health Subcommittee, said GOP lawmakers will certainly try to erase fraudulent spending in Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid.
"I'm for all of that because what we're doing now isn't working," Buchanan said of finding entitlement savings during an interview at Politico's Health Care Summit on Wednesday.
"Our interest on the debt's a trillion dollars a year, so you got to take the first trillion of taxpayer money and pay the interest on the debt. It's gotta change, but we've got to find a way to do that where we're more efficient on delivering these systems."
Buchanan added that there's "always been a feeling" among Republicans and Democrats that there's been roughly 10% fraud or mismanagement in Medicare.
"There's a lot of work to be done, and I think the president's made it pretty clear, in terms of Medicare and Medicaid that does impact my district … I have the fifth oldest district in the county … but it impacts a lot of districts, we want to keep that viable."
Buchanan was asked whether he supports work requirements for Medicare recipients.
"Ideally, where you can, but if you're talking about single moms with three kids, I don't know how that works," he said. "But the bottom line is that's something some people feel strong about. I think you have to look at it based on the situation."
Last month, Trump told Senate Republicans he's open to cutting "waste, fraud and abuse" in Medicaid.
While Democrats stressed that Trump has said Medicaid benefits won't be "touched," the president apparently believes ridding the system of abuse is a good thing, Axios reported.
