The issue should not be that you are a citizen or not, the issue, as our founding fathers intended, is whether you are an inhabitant, meaning your permanent residence is here, and you are governed by our government, then you should have the right to vote!

Like dressing up to fly is going to make a big difference. We are crammed in like sardines and you want us to dress like we did in the 1960s?
Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.

This is near 100% confirmation that Tesla won't get a permit to roll out FSD Supervised in Europe.
My hunch is that the Regulator needs Tesla's FSD data, which Tesla has refused to submit even to regulators in California since 2014.
I wonder what Tesla has to hide?

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
