A record 29% โ€” nearly a third! โ€” of all new cars purchased in California during July, August, and September were zero-emission vehicles.

DC may be fine with selling out American innovation to China, but California will keep charging ahead toward cleaner air for our communities.

Whiplash on A Day of Peace Watch now | Got a Minute or Two? Mad Hattery and Other Outrages

โ€œThe sight of this man presenting himself as a great peacemaker, bathing in praise from other nationโ€™s leaders, creates in me whiplashโ€”a sickening level of cognitive dissonance.โ€

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says heโ€™ll be making โ€œnecessary cutsโ€ to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Chicago priest urges parishioners to leave mass with caution after ICE agents reported nearby Chicago's Rogers Park community remained vigilant after reports of federal agents near a Catholic church during Sunday mass.

"After the warning, neighbors showed up and formed a human chain outside the church to guide parishioners home. NBC Chicago found more organizers doing the same for the beginning of the 6 p.m. mass..."

Pres. Obama to Marc Maron: "If you're a business, you say, 'You know what? We think it's important โ€ฆ to hire people from different backgrounds. And we're not going to be bullied into saying that we can only hire people or promote people based on some criteria that's been cooked up by Steve Miller.'"

News outlets broadly reject Pentagon rules before signing deadline The Washington Post and other major news outlets have refused to sign the Defense Departmentโ€™s restrictive new media policy, citing First Amendment concerns.

Barronโ€™s upstairs in the White House seeing what stock he can short tomorrow when his old man gets home and posts some more China sh*t. Market manipulation is real.

An Immense Solar Project Just Got Canceled Under Trump

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.
