Tesla is reportedly pulling workers off Cybertruck factory lines and dropping production targets for the model amid plummeting sales. Sounds like sales are crashing like a Tesla on autopilot.

The Tesla dealership near me is overflowing with the new model Y, but none are showing up in their inventory. However, I built one and it says its available today. They are hiding the inventory. There is no demand. #tslaq

Weeks after Trump picked Long to head the IRS, his campaign got $137K—mostly maxed-out donations. A third came from people with tax legal ties. Long paid himself back. Some donors are linked to shady tax credit schemes he’s promoted.

Just a reminder that Trump/DOJ continuing to let Abrego Garcia sit in CECOT is a crime. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Was it an "error" at first? Maybe. But once they were aware of the error, and ordered by a judge to return him, and then refusing, it's willful 1/

People who want to skirt due process always complain that it benefits the bad guy. They couldn't be more wrong. Due process is about ensuring we get the bad guy. Due process is how we know that the government is actually going after violent criminals and not ... hairdressers.
