Future and Past Collideβ€”Confusingly, Excitinglyβ€”at the World's Best Car Meet Chinese EVs, Hot Hyundais, and the future of the auto show all share one thing in common: the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Had some thoughts about where we've been and where we're all headed at last week's Goodwood FOS

1. Trump's megabill will slash nutrition assistance for poor families, cause 17 million people to lose their health insurance, and add over $3 trillion to the deficit -- all to finance tax cuts for the rich.

IN THIS THREAD, I WILL LIST THE COMPANIES THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED THIS BILL.

Here are the Declaration of Independence’s grievances against King George III. Many apply to Trump. It's uncanny.

Remember how the Declaration of Independence cataloged all the harms King George III had visited upon the American colonists?

Trump has committed many of those same violations in just a few months. @davidcorn.bsky.social & @timothypmurphy.bsky.social lay it out: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I think Rivian might be closest with its software suite, but Xiaomi has the advantage of having built connected home devices for years. They're sorta like a Samsung/Google hybrid that decided to get into cars.

You’ll Never Believe All the Stuff That Fits In Our 2025 BMW M2 If there’s been one constant over the past six months or so with our BMW M2 it is the sports car’s seriously impressive practicality.

I'm continually shocked by how practical this little sports coupe can be.

What I Saw in LA Wasn’t an Insurrection. It Was a Police Riot. As Trump mobilizes the marines to quell an β€œinsurrection” in LA, it’s essential to be clear about how the protests started and what actually happened.

Just looking at this transcript again, and it’s really something else. If I were a Russian state propagandist, I would have it printed out in all known fonts and used to decorate the Kremlin walls in celebratory papier-mΓ’chΓ©.

The Zelenskyy meeting was a setup.

Trump has been trying to form a pretext to stop Ukraine aid.

That’s why he said Ukraine β€œstarted the war” the other day.

He wanted to say something so outrageous it’d get pushback.

It’s also why TASS was there.
