"People are being too purist about Gavin Newsom."
He invited yet another rightwing extremist to have a podcast conversation and instead of pushing back against that extremism, Newsom, yet again, backed down immediately.
I want a leader who isn't going to placate extremists. That's not a tough ask.

Musk paid Trump $300M for this: a House bill removing any disclosures of miles per crash, etc., currently required for self-certifying as Level 4 autonomy.
If this bill passes, it's a free pass for Tesla to roll out its deadly robotaxis from day one, unimpeded.

I think about this all the time.
I've been trying to understand what's happening in the US and the endgame. If the goal is to deport or kill 242 million people to create a country with only 100 million people, the things the Trump administration is doing make perfect sense.
