I spent some time at the site where protestors incinerated five Waymos—all lined up neatly in a row in downtown LA—and spoke to journalists, eyewitnesses and activists who were there.
This is how protestors weaponized Waymos and Lime scooters, and turned them into icons of the anti-ICE uprising

When the value of a corporation can fall $100 billion -- around 400x what Elon invested in Trump's election -- based on interpersonal relations between a CEO and the President, it does rather suggest that policy isn't really based on the best interests of the American people.

Trump promises tax cuts for everyone.
The tax increases he imposed today would wipe out any tax cuts the bottom of 40% of Americans would receive.
This doesn’t count additional import taxes he’s considering or the cuts to Medicaid and nutrition assistance.
