The question is no longer if EVs are going to dominate the future. That’s fairly obvious. The question is now if the US is going to have any role in that market. Right now, it’s not looking promising. heatmap.news/electric-veh...

Step up, stand up, speak out. This moment is hard — I don't dispute that, but this isn't the time to be afraid. Make your voice heard, whether it’s at a town hall or on the phone, so Donald Trump and Republicans know how sick and tired you are of them cutting your services.

The administration gets bolder each time a strong institution bends the knee. We saw it in media: The LA Times pulls an endorsement. ABC offers a $15m settlement. The WaPo kills op-eds. Now, higher education: WSJ reports that Columbia is caving. Minutes later, White House puts $175m hit on Penn.

One close Trump adviser simply says that the president’s ultimate leverage against certain judges who try to stand in the way of his agenda is that the judiciary does not command an army, while the president of the United States does.
