We took the latest version of $TSLA Full Self Driving (13.2.9) on a 33 mile test route in Santa Barbara and FSD made 7 safety critical errors and 12 driving errors in 80 minutes. If you think your Tesla is about to become your own personal robotaxi you are completely deluded.

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money. Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment. Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Question: Will the next mainstream media interviewer of Trump ask about this blatant lie in the Oval Office? Or will they say ‘let’s agree to disagree’ and try and move on, a la ABC’s Terry Moran?

This is why Duffy is blaming all plane crashes, near-crashes and FAA system outages on the Biden administration. "The fired workers include personnel hired for FAA radar, landing and navigational aid" maintenance, an air traffic controller told The Associated Press." apnews.com/article/doge...

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

"Why do Americans have such deep distrust of their government? It’s a simple question with a complex answer, but here’s part of the reason: All too often, the government wrongfully inflicts profound harm on American citizens and then leaves them with no recourse." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/04/o...

WELKER: Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process. Do you agree? TRUMP: I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know. WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution? TRUMP: I don't know

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be: We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

I suspect this slogan would not have been tremendously popular: "Trump 2024: Your kids are going to get fewer toys and the ones they do get will cost more"

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

Mark Cuban on CNBC: "Donald Trump is trying to come in with the hammer and say, 'I'm gonna hit you with a 200% tariff, John Deere.' Kamala Harris is saying, 'I'm going to give you incentives to manufacture more.' Which do you think is gonna work better with companies?"

Pierre Poilievre doesn’t talk about men’s biological clocks, sperm counts, or prostate health—because that would be invasive and absurd. So why is it acceptable for him to comment on women’s reproductive timelines? It’s not policy. It’s not leadership. It’s misogyny. #NeverPoiLIEvre

This story fails to mention the reason they couldn’t open the doors to save the people who died. Cybertruck doors can’t be opened from the outside when the electrical isn’t working, like when they’re on fire.
