In 2019 a BYU Japanese PhD student helped organized a fishing outing. The group caught more fish than they were allowed, but prosecutors decided not to charge him.
Now, his visa is being revoked.
Kudos to Rubio for keeping America safe.

It took about 24 hours for the post-Elon-tweet fear to move through my body and for me to get back into fight mode. Also, having a badass lawyer helps. I will not be silent in the face of personal attacks and attacks on the #TeslaTakedown movement.

Musk doesn't get how nonviolent protest works. Why are we Troublemakers? Because as Rep. John Lewis, RIP, knew: in hard times, good trouble is ESSENTIAL to all that we love.
When the world is at risk, when democracy is at risk, we're either troublemakers—or collaborators.
So: who's a Troublemaker?

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...
The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out

There's no other way to spin it. That means more money out-of-pocket for seniors and families.
