Everything's on the table.

Republicans are using every method they can, whether it's cheating or breaking the law.

We've got to do everything we can to stand up and fight back β€” we're not sitting around and complaining from the sidelines when we have the ability to stop them.

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...

Trump Went to War With the Ivies. Community Colleges Are Being Hit.
