Is Trump still going forward with Musk's recommendation to deorbit the ISS in 2027?
SpaceX was awarded a $843 million contract to deorbit the ISS back in 2024 (Biden was president) in the year 2030.

Was there an update to this plan that I didn't hear about?

Maybe they can hire SpaceX to launch their satellites. Better than failing completely.
What satellites? You're responding to an article that puts Amazon's inability to make the satellites in the first sentence. How are SpaceX launch services going to make a satellite for Amazon?

Why adopt a scarcity mindset when energy supply exceeds demand?
Because the manner in which we create that energy is horking up our planet's climate.
I mean, I could heat my home when the power goes out by running my car in the garage and opening a door to the inside of the house.
But not for long.

Two comments back to back on pollution.
New Shepherd runs off hydrogen and oxygen. Two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen.
There are valid reasons to call water vapor in the upper atmosphere pollution, but it's water vapor.

Actually it would be cool to calculate how many cars worth of greenhouse gases the trip produces.
Not sure how you get CO2 out of a hydrogen and oxygen mix, but ok. Calculate away.

The exhaust from New Shepherd is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen in a ratio of two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom. Sometimes called H20. Otherwise known as water.

Submission + - Fifteen Years Later, Citizens United Defined the 2024 Election (brennancenter.org)
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes: The influence of wealthy donors and dark money was unprecedented. Much of it would have been illegal before the Supreme Court swept away long-established campaign finance rules. Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court’s controversial 2010 decision that swept away more than a century’s worth of campaign finance safeguards, turns 15 this month. The late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg called it the worst ruling of her time on the Court. Overwhelming majorities of Americans have consistently expressed disapproval of the ruling, with at least 22 states and hundreds of cities voting to support a constitutional amendment to overturn it. Citizens United reshaped political campaigns in profound ways, giving corporations and billionaire-funded super PACs a central role in U.S. elections and making untraceable dark money a major force in politics. And yet it may only be now, in the aftermath of the 2024 election, that we can begin to understand the full impact of the decision.

Submission + - Anti-Trump Searches Appear Hidden on TikTok (ibtimes.com)
AmiMoJo writes: Searches for anti-Trump content are now appearing hidden on TikTok for many users after the app came back online in the U.S. TikTok users have taken to Twitter to share that when they search for topics negatively related to President Donald Trump, a message pops up saying "No results found" and that the phrases may violate the app's guidelines. One user said that when they tried to search "Donald Trump rigged election" on a U.S. account, they were met with blocked results. Meanwhile, the same phrase searched from a U.K. account prompted results. Another user shared video of them switching between a U.S. and U.K. VPN to back up the user's viral claims, which has since amassed more than 187,000 likes.
