Trump Will Slow, but May Not Stop, the Rise of Electric Vehicles

EVs are quieter, simpler, less expensive to run, and more fun to drive than equivalent combustion cars. They’re where world auto markets are going, so why handicap US auto companies competing in those markets? All to pay off fossil fuel donors.

Remember, Trump illegally ordered this impoundment of funds, but the GOP approved it after the fact in its rescission package. This is on them, too.

The Trump regime is blocking release of the Epstein files after promising their release.
It's giving preferential treatment to child molester Ghislaine Maxwell in hopes she won't reveal Trump's connection to the scandal.
Keep reminding people about this. It matters.

Whitehouse: "Let me mention first just how very bizarre it is that the Deputy AG is going out to do a witness interview. It really raises the question whether he's doing that in the role as Deputy AG, or if he's stepping back into his role as Trump criminal defense lawyer."

Andry Is Free. Trump’s Barbarous Immigration Regime Is Just Getting Started. Plus: The president’s new Epstein avoidance strategy.

Trump seems to have realized that just commanding people to stop paying attention to the Epstein story is not having the desired effect. Time to break out the "racist sports team names" move!

YouTube video by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse Senator Whitehouse Dissects Chairman Grassley's Letter to Judiciary Dems

Emil Bove is unfit for judicial office. And yet, Judiciary Republicans rammed him through the nomination process without thorough debate. Chairman Grassley’s letter didn’t assuage my profound concerns.

Right now, Trump is blocking billions in funding for our public schools, so I'm blocking and slowing down his nominee for the Department of Education.

He's released some of the funding he's illegally withheld, but we need to keep up the pressure until every dollar gets out the door.

Why Trump’s Real Threat Isn’t Epstein — It’s His Failing Coalition MAGA’s Trust is Cracking, and Republicans Could Pay the Price in 2026

The Epstein story won’t bring down MAGA — but the cracks it’s revealing in Trump’s base just might.
While MAGA influencers chase conspiracies, voters are turning on Trump over tariffs, immigration crackdowns, brutal budget cuts.
2026 could be a GOP route

Federal workers are speaking out about the dangers and damage of Trump’s administration. We’re looking forward to this event with Sen. @whitehouse.senate.gov and Rep. @jayapal.house.gov: bit.ly/FedsSpeakOut

Oh but they’re getting “school choice” vouchers for yeshivas so nothing to see 😡 (public education be d@mne$). ☠️

We're going to need another roll of yellow tape for the crime scene that now extends from the Senate to the House.

Gotta say: really appreciating Hakeem Jeffries taking the Republican Party to task over what Christ actually said and taught in the Bible. It's nice to see the actual nature of the Gospel expressed as opposed to the nonsense the GOP erroneously and constantly claim.

God Formally Notifies Mike Johnson That he is Going to Hell It was a move that many said was long overdue.

It was a move that many said was long overdue.

Socialism for the wealthy helps the fewest number.

It's hard to avoid recalling this passage from the English historian Tony Judt:

I really struck a nerve here. I stand by what I said.

Yes, feeling this so much and wishing you weren’t going through this too with Spartacus. We just experienced this on Wednesday with our so adored standard poodle Charlie (who turned 13 on February 5th). We are devastated and miss him so, so much.

Dear Mr. President: Maybe if you stopped doing stuff that is so obviously, flagrantly illegal, and listened to real lawyers instead of MAGA stooges, you wouldn’t be constantly getting your ass kicked so badly in court. Just a thought.

Thank you for sharing this. It is a staggering loss and we send you sincere sympathies. Our standard poodle Charlie, our best dog ever, is nearing end stage and this is so heartbreakingly relatable.

In U.S. v. Lovett (1946), the Supreme Court held that not even Congress, in a bill signed by POTUS, may cut off all contracts with a named individual or organization: that’d be an unconstitutional bill of attainder. Only courts can decide who deserves to be punished. SoTrump can’t do it with an EO!
