Your actions have consequences.

You choose not to vote, you lose your say.

You elect a felon, expect to get robbed.

Not everyone voted for this administration, but everyone must live through it.

Tommy Robinson says Elon Musk is paying his legal costs as trial begins

Robinson allegedly failed to comply with officers who ‘became concerned’ by his behaviour at Channel Tunnel Tommy Robinson has claimed Elon Musk is paying his legal costs as he went on trial for refusing to comply with a request made by counter terrorism police as he tried to leave Britain last year. The far-right activist, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley Lennon, refused to give police the pin for his phone because it had “journalistic material on it” after they stopped him at the Channel Tunnel on 28 July 2024, a court heard.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

I’m joining 22 AGs in speaking out against the political prosecution and persecution of New York Attorney General Leticia James.

We will not stand idly by while justice is upended, and this president uses the criminal legal system to pursue his personal vendettas.

Since a New York State judge found Donald Trump liable for years of business fraud and illegal dealings in a case led by Attorney General James, Mr. Trump has repeatedly broadcast his desire to arrest and prosecute her. Mr. Trump has now done just that — demanding an indictment of Attorney General James even though the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Erik Siebert resigned rather than seeking an indictment.

None of us, whether our states’ top legal officials or members of the public, should stand idly by while justice is upended and this president uses the criminal legal system to pursue his personal vendettas. The Trump-directed arms of the executive branch have arrested a sitting member of Congress, charged the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and criminally investigated a governor of the Federal Reserve, among other retaliatory and politically motivated pursuits. These kinds of prosecutorial abuses are the hallmarks of police states and authoritarian regimes — not America’s democracy.

We stand in solidarity with Attorney General James and others who have been targeted for reasons wholly antithetical to the pursuit of justice. We commit to doing all we can to ensure that the rule of law prevails and to resist the further corrosion of our system of justice.”

Tomorrow, the Delaware State Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the appeal of the Tornetta ruling-- the case that said Elon Musk's 2018 Tesla CEO pay plan was improperly granted, and must be rescinded. Musk is seeking another mammoth pay plan now. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/05/t...

Tesla's nearly $1 trillion new pay plan for Musk would expand his voting power

Tesla will also ask shareholders to vote on whether the automaker should invest in Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI.
