I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

The BBC joins a long list of media companies now obeying in advance. I can't say I'm surprised or at this point even angry. It is a structural flaw in legacy media

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

To be clear, Skandalakis assigned this case to himself. And I disagree with his assessment.
Anyone with this kind of bullshit take of that infamous "find me 11,780 votes" call to Sec. of State Raffensperger was never going to prosecute Trump, Meadows, & the other defendants:

For Celia Monreal, a former Trump voter, one Senate vote can mean the difference between keeping health coverage or going uninsured.
“Considering the bills and everything else, we wouldn’t be able to afford a $1,500 a month increase for health insurance,” Monreal told journalist Chris Vazquez.
