Great podcast up today. Me and @tlevin.bsky.social sit down with @murphymike.bsky.social, GOP strategist and EV advocate, to discuss how electric cars became so politicized and what can be done about it.

A debt bomb, managing Musk: the challenges of Trump’s first 100 days The president-elect has promised mass deportations and tax cuts. He’ll need big early successes to keep voters onside, a Republican strategist writes

Well, now the swearing in is over and the um, interesting, speech has been given, I thought I’d repost my op-ed in The Sunday Times (UK) from two weeks ago on the new President’s challenges going forward: www.thetimes.com/article/753c...

James Carville Calls Out Harris’s ‘Progressive Staffers,’ Jon Stewart, and More In 2024 Loss Rant: ‘You’re F**king Wrong!’ Democratic strategist James Carville held nothing back when giving his 2024 election post-mortem and offering some advice for Democrats in 2028.

Carville Unbound: "If I were running a 2028 campaign and I had some little snot-nosed 23 year old saying, I’m going to resign if you do this, not only would I fire that motherfucker on the spot, I would find out who hired him and fire that person on the spot!"

Top Trump Aide Accused of Asking for Money to ‘Promote’ Potential Appointees President-elect Donald J. Trump ordered the investigation by his legal team into Boris Epshteyn, a powerful figure in the transition. Mr. Epshteyn denies the allegations.

Shocker! Two sure thing cover stories for Totally Predictable Magazine…

1.) Boris trying to get his beak wet.

2.)The race inside the fratricidal Trump viper nest to leak it.

Interesting Trump Kremlinology here:

1.) Lutnick orig top two choice for Treasury

2.) Elon pushes hard for him on X. Trashes rival

3.) Trump slaps Lutnick (way) down to Commerce. Lesson is given.

Trump and Elon are two tomcats in one pillow sack. Not gonna last.

Home - EV Politics

NYT chomping on the huge $1.5B spend of Harris campaign/SuperPAC. I think cause of loss was far more tectonic than $ waste, but I do know Harris never responded to $27M of TV attacks on #EVs as job-killers in Michigan. Slotkin did. Whoops.

Killing The IRA's Tax Credit Is a Big Win For China The IRA's $7,500 is designed to incentivize U.S. EV supply chain investment. Without it, it's not clear if our EV supply chain will get off the ground.

Trump is the best President the Chinese auto industry 🇨🇳 ever had. The EV issue is too complicated for him to understand — it mixes geopolitics, climate strategy and the future of U.S. manufacturing — so he outsources policy to oil guys and greedy Elon. Tragic for U.S.
