If you, regular person, did anything like this after a fatal car accident, you would be prosecuted for a variety of crimes, including insurance fraud.If you then repeatedly lied to the courts about it, like Tesla did, you'd get prosecuted for that too, plus stiff monetary sanctions.

Seems worth investigating

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.

This asshole

Holy shit — Kevin Hassett completely bombs on ABC when pressed by Jon Karl to explain how Trump can possibly justify 50% tariffs on Brazil even though the country has a trade *deficit* with the US

NYT editors at it again. Trump didn’t “tax Brazil.” He taxed Americans who consume Brazilian products. Behind Trump’s Decision to Tax Brazil to Save Bolsonaro www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/w…

Grover Norquist is the most powerful man in our government who has never been elected. He is the architect behind the Big Bullshit Bill.He got what he wanted in the BBB & now he wants to shrink gov't until it can’t help anyone but billionaires.They got what they wanted, but it's never enough.

Don’t invest in AI

it's so cool that i get framed as a radical for saying these companies lose billions of dollars and their products don't do enough to justify any of this, and Roose gets framed as a luminary. I cannot wait for this bubble to pop because I have taken such detailed notes

Ecological suicide

If they close all these research labs, you can't just undo it four years later.Decades of expertise and tons of specialized equipment will be scattered to the wind. Rebuilding would take ages.
