Sadly I can’t vote
If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 Midterm Elections, I’m going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America, $5,000! Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to signing those checks!
Community note
This repeats a promise Trump made in September 2026. The US has approximately 250 million adult citizens so the total cost would be over 1.25 trillion dollars. Congress must approve any such federal spending.

Researchers drove a Chinese NIO electric SUV into a Norwegian mine to cut its connections.
It kept trying to reach servers in China. About 90% of its traffic went there.
The data was encrypted so they couldn't see what was sent, but NIO claims European data stays in Europe.
A separate test on a Chinese-made bus found the manufacturer could remotely access battery and power systems.

Sophisticated statistics can produce extremely precise nonsense when the design fails to identify the causal mechanism.
