Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash Tesla was caught withholding data, lying about it, and misdirecting authorities in the wrongful death case involving Autopilot that it...

The most damning part: The car was programmed to send all the information to Tesla then delete the local copies. Which speaks to a clear conspiracy to hide the fact that "driver assistance" features contributed to an accident #teslatakedown electrek.co/2025/08/04/t...

Trauma RN here….our definition of death is fine! We need more public education from the transplant networks in the US. It is a complex process to donate organs.

Lost dog in SF. If spotted text John 8572340177 or call animal control 4155546364. Very shy. Do not chase! Dog pictured is about 35 pounds, lean, brown brindle coat with black stripes, large pointed ears like a heeler, and dark muzzle.

SF, please help me find my dog. She was lost by her sitter in the mission. But when she escaped 2 years ago, she made it all the way to Golden Gate Park. She is very sweet but very shy.

I am very worried about her getting hurt while she’s loose.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "As a state rep, I get paid about $600 a month. That's not much to live off of. Many of my colleagues, including myself, we have day jobs that help us pay the bills. And by breaking quorum, we are leaving those day jobs behind... So this decision was not made lightly."

‘Talk about affordability’: Warren boosts Mamdani as model for Democratic victory The progressive Massachusetts senator appeared with the Democratic nominee for mayor in New York City.

‘Talk about affordability’: Warren boosts Mamdani as model for Democratic victory.

MAGA's packed-and-stacked Supreme Court opened the door to extreme partisan gerrymandering in the states. Democrats must use every tool at our disposal to stop this Orbán-style one-party takeover of our government.

every couple of days a guy elected by fewer voters than people who work at JFK on a weekday gets in front of a camera and tells the world that this scares the shit out of him

He paved rose garden and put in a parking lot… 🎶🎼🎵… sure Jan

“We are not fighting for the Democratic Party, we’re fighting for the democratic process.”

Love this. More of this.

It’s his plan to PAY us to take drugs Ron! Fabulous!

Ken Paxton is great because he's never not testing the limits of human reasoning. He's a pioneer in stupidity. He's like an astronaut for the completely spaced program. You've never seen someone more dedicated to being openly moronic without a shred of charm to show for it.

“We take vaccines so for granted in the United States” ...“Women in the developing world know the power of [vaccines]. They will walk 10 kilometers in the heat with their child and line up to get a vaccine because they have seen death.”

I'm waiting for my check Mr President as evidence of this fabulous plan to pay me to take drugs!

Trump: You know, we've cut drug prices by 1200, 1300, 1400, 1,500%. I don't mean 50%. I mean 1400, 1,500%

‘They roll right over’: Many Democrats call their party weak and ineffective, AP-NORC poll finds A poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that many Democrats see their political party as “weak” or “ineffective.”

This shouldn’t be surprising. The only way to fight back is to… actually fight back.

If Democrats want to improve their approval rating (or far more importantly, make actual change), we need real leadership to put up real resistance to authoritarianism.

We Can Save Public Radio and Television Viewers and listeners like us.

"No matter where I lived, I knew this was guaranteed because after moving into a new place, we’d plug in our old box television, adjust the shitty little antenna just so, and voila, like magic, there was PBS. It was free."

This fascist regime and its dear leaders would live nothing more than small businesses to fail and corporations to rake in more money while paying financial homage to dear leader.

Finally updated the tariff calculations to incorporate the 50% copper tariffs, 40% tariff on Brazilian imports, and 5-31% tariff on imports from 94 countries that Trump has signed over the last 24 hours—overall tariff rates rise more than 2%, and are now 16% higher than pre-Trump

Economy Updates: After a Weak Jobs Report, Trump Fires That Agency’s Commissioner Hours after data showed cracks in the U.S. economy, President Trump said without evidence that Erika McEntarfer “rigged” the data “to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad.”

Firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics over a bad jobs report undermines government integrity and sends a chilling message to federal employees: tell POTUS what he wants to hear or else.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

So, This Is How a Free Press Dies in America? PBS and NPR have announced they're beginning to shut down. History shows us that fascism always comes for the free press first.

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans.

Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.
