Well, here’s that 2026 Bolt announcement!

Updated exterior and interior (but not quite the same as the Ultium cars)… no note about the LFP battery, but a BIG reduction in range to an EPA estimated 255.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

this is the thing, a lot of people visit portland, and they’re not all hyper progressives, people can see this shit with their own eyes and know they’re being lied to, that wasn’t the case in 2020 when everyone was stuck at home

I suspect even some MAGAs are becoming sceptical. Some of my super conservative relatives were in Portland this weekend, and they actually went to Powell's, walked around and ate Thai food. I didn't hear a single complaint about the city that's supposedly overrun with pyromaniac antifa gangs.

Jack collaborated with neo-Nazi twins to make a documentary. He was a fan of white supremacist Richard Spencer. He has tweeted 1488, the alphanumeric code for Heil Hitler. He wrote an unreadable anti-antifa book. Last year he wrote a book abt the left called “Unhumans.” That he’s now speaking here…

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

“This is a man who’s suffering dementia,” said @govpritzker.illinois.gov. “This is a man who has something stuck in his head … He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.”

Gov. JB Pritzker says President Trump deploying troops to Chicago due to ‘dementia’ and obsessive fixations

Democratic governor’s comments came as he continues to oppose President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago area for deportation efforts.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

FBI agents assigned to Musk concluded he was systematically avoiding conduct standards imposed on those holding high-level clearances. FBI management concluded it could do nothing about this because of Musk's ties to Trump and the GOP.

Also I realize it's completely fucking ridiculous to even suggest, but a reporter *could* write it up into a *story* that the president keeps making totally insane false accusations of paid protesters, and these are at least in part informing his illegal military deployments to US cities
