Tesla (TSLA) plans to pause production at Gigafactory Texas for second time in 2 months

(KXAN) — A group of Texas lawmakers sent a letter to Tesla urging the company to delay its robotaxi operations in Austin. Tesla reportedly planned to launch the self-driving service on Sunday, June 22. @kxan.com $TSLA @thomashansen.bsky.social www.kxan.com/news/local/a...

And so, a playground becomes a gathering place, where residents of shattered buildings sit and gaze at the worst of the strike, an apartment ripped nine floors down its gut. They murmur to each other. Some are bandaged. Psychologists hover at the margins, in case anyone needs support.

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

"It's deeper than a critique of journalists. You can say, 'Fine. 'Both sides.' The left is unhappy w/ how the media covers things.' But it’s a systemic problem. Our political institutions are uniquely unable to deal w/ the rise of what is now a far-right authoritarian party" — @mcopelov.bsky.social

“Trump is pulling a military dragnet all across Los Angeles,” Mr. Newsom said. “Well beyond his stated intent to just go after violent and serious criminals, his agents are arresting dishwashers, gardeners, day laborers and seamstresses.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u...

Trump proposes 50% tariff on all European goods starting June 1, calling for strict import limits from the EU this summer.

The first part of the 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange agreement has been implemented, President Zelenskyy announced. Today, 390 people returned home.

In the photo shared by Russian Z-channels, there’s what looks like a DIY mini-cannon slapped together from junk. Tank treads made of tractor tires and a car seat — classic backyard engineering from the people’s Russian military-industrial complex.

❗️The campaign continues to move forward — 36,250€ raised out of 62,300€. Let’s stay on track and make sure Ukrainian defenders get the support they need. 🌐Join in: help99.co/patches/special-kherson-cat-12th-nafo-campaign

Russian Mi-8 military helicopter crashed on Oryol region of Russia. Preliminary pilots are dead.

Although barbed wire is not capable of stopping the advance of Russian infantry on its own, it does give time to react including to drone operators.

Today, Russia launched two ballistic missiles at Odesa’s port. One civilian was killed. Eight are wounded. This was exactly the kind of attack the March agreement was supposed to stop. How many times does Russia need to break its word before Trump stops pretending it's a reliable partner?

🇺🇦Today, 390 Ukrainian defenders have returned home from Russian captivity. This marks the first phase of the 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange agreement reached during the Turkey talks. We expect the exchange to continue over the weekend.

"Russian authorities are renewing their years-long narrative rejecting the legality of the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, possibly to deny Ukrainian and Belarusian sovereignty and independence in the future." The latest update from @thestudyofwar.bsky.social

I am so in love with this story

‼️ Thread There is a new Russian article I came across that I want to talk about. The topic, once again, is the return of foreign companies. I think, perhaps the best way to describe some of the responses is gaslighting. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasligh...

Virtually every number or statistic Trump throws out on any subject - polls, election results, casualty figures, immigration, taxes, spending, economic, gas or food prices, - 95% of the time he uses a number for anything it is patently false and wildly exaggerated in his favor.

Trump costing us a fortune accomplishing nothing in Yemen as he continues his new war to divert attention away from the economy, his failure to broker a Ukraine deal, and his autocratic takeover of American institutions.

Odd that the VP continues to visit several European counties but the coward steadfastly refuses to accept the long standing open invitation from Ukraine to visit that country, talk to the people, hear the truth, & see reality. But he prefers his right-wing social media dystopia.

I think the Filet-O-Fish cross necklace is my favorite one so far.

Who do you blame for the war? Trump: “Joe Biden” Why is Russia murdering children? Trump: Biden Why won’t you deliver Patriot systems? Trump: Biden Why won’t Russia agree to a ceasefire? Trump: Biden Why can’t you easily broker a peace deal like you promised? Trump: Biden

Dark Ferris Bueller.

Meanwhile in Russia… “Epidemic of self-prohibitions: what else can Russians ban themselves from doing?” Invading their neighbors? 🇷🇺: lol, no Violating international agreements? 🇷🇺: Have you met us? So you can’t be trusted. 🇷🇺: HOW DARE YOU! RUSSOPHOBIA! www.mk.ru/economics/20...

This was entirely predictable. I don't begrudge Trump for wanting to get a deal. But these motherfuckers have actively weakened Ukraine's ability to defend itself with their delusional self-aggrandizing and good cop/bad cop/dumbass cop routine. www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...
