Great podcast up today. Me and @tlevin.bsky.social sit down with @murphymike.bsky.social, GOP strategist and EV advocate, to discuss how electric cars became so politicized and what can be done about it. Also, does Elon Musk poll as negatively as Hamas? Apparently: insideevs.com/features/752...

Per Trump, the only thing bigger than the Super Bowl is the, ahem, Gulf of America. But Jonathan Martin delivers a Superdome field report suggesting Trump is — shockingly! — full of it. Oh and @murphymike.bsky.social is his usual brilliant self on a new Hacks on Tap: hacksontap.com/episodes/mak...

Well, now the swearing in is over and the um, interesting, speech has been given, I thought I’d repost my op-ed in The Sunday Times (UK) from two weeks ago on the new President’s challenges going forward: www.thetimes.com/article/753c...

TCM does this so much better than the Oscarcast every single year. Prepare for a sigh and a cry. youtu.be/GxJqSLcVFUI?...

Carville Unbound: "If I were running a 2028 campaign and I had some little snot-nosed 23 year old saying, I’m going to resign if you do this, not only would I fire that motherfucker on the spot, I would find out who hired him and fire that person on the spot!" www.mediaite.com/politics/jam...

Shocker! Two sure thing cover stories for Totally Predictable Magazine… 1.) Boris trying to get his beak wet. 2.)The race inside the fratricidal Trump viper nest to leak it. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/u...

Interesting Trump Kremlinology here: 1.) Lutnick orig top two choice for Treasury 2.) Elon pushes hard for him on X. Trashes rival 3.) Trump slaps Lutnick (way) down to Commerce. Lesson is given. Trump and Elon are two tomcats in one pillow sack. Not gonna last. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11...

NYT chomping on the huge $1.5B spend of Harris campaign/SuperPAC. I think cause of loss was far more tectonic than $ waste, but I do know Harris never responded to $27M of TV attacks on #EVs as job-killers in Michigan. Slotkin did. Whoops. Data is @ EVPolitics.org www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/u...

Trump is the best President the Chinese auto industry 🇨🇳 ever had. The EV issue is too complicated for him to understand — it mixes geopolitics, climate strategy and the future of U.S. manufacturing — so he outsources policy to oil guys and greedy Elon. Tragic for U.S. insideevs.com/news/s.74116...
