The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

I’m sorry what!??

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

Some good news for a change.

Sen. Alex Padilla was just removed from Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles (video: Bill Melugin/Fox News)

In lieu of flowers, the Brian Wilson estate requests that people don’t listen to Kokomo.

I really don’t need to hear cable news focus on how crimes against humanity are polling.

My mind now drifts to the Simpsons episode where Springfield blames all its problems on immigrants and decides to fix it with Proposition 24, which deports them. They have buyer's remorse when they realize it hurts immigrants they personally know.

Basically the equivalent of 19th century aristocrats going to the opera to perv on the chorus girls

Sorry but this is total LARP, 0.00% chance the guy who went to Yale Law and converted to Catholicism because he thought they were right on the issues has never heard of Les Mis

how the fuck do these ice motherfuckers not realize they're the bad guys

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

A journalist got fired this week for calling this guy a hater, something that's just objectively true and has been true since he was a kid.

incredible Brian Wilson self-edit here:

Has any mainstream news made much noise about police just shooting less lethals at people - including reporters - unprovoked? Sure seems like there's more of that than there is actually violent protesters. If the Rodney King video happened today in the middle of a protest, the media would shrug.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

I was in the car a lot today, and I dipped in to cable news and let me tell you, they all seem very eager to remind us that Trump’s immigration policies that poll at 51% are “popular” and these ICE raids are probably a “winner” for him.

ICE detentions of people with no criminal records are up nearly 900 percent over the same period last year. Gift link: wapo.st/43DxcEB

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.
