Elon Musk: Pollution Salesman Elon Musk is not in the car business; he is a pollution salesman.

Tesla made $405M last quarter β€” but only by selling $595M in emissions credits. Musk is not in the car business. He’s a pollution salesman. #ElonMusk #Tesla

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Pete Hesgeth β€” who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach β€” is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will β€œnever forget” the veterans there.

What an unbelievable asshole.

142. Five Questions About Domestic Use of the Military The federal government's authorities to use the military for domestic law enforcement are old, broad, and vague. They may soon become far more relevant than they've been for quite a long time.

EVERYBODY WATCH.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.

Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.

He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.

After Cuts, a Kentucky Weather Office Scrambles for Staffing as Severe Storms Bear Down

9 people were killed in a tornado last night in KY. The NWS office responsible for that area has faced some of the most extreme cuts by the Trump administration, including the loss of overnight forecasting.

Last night, they were rushing to find help for the office.

In Georgia, we don’t say β€œtowards Europe”; instead, we say β€œBack to Europe” to underline the centuries-long longing for our historical homeland.

Librarian of Congress firing is latest move in upheaval of U.S. cultural institutions President Trump fired Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress, via email late Thursday night, the latest in a string of actions the president has taken to shape American cultural institutions.

The firing of the Librarian of Congress is worse than many appreciate. The Librarian is appointed for a ten year term by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate. The position is nonpartisan and runs the critically important Congressional Research Service.
