It looks like Tesla is once again using parking garages to stash inventory. There are some 100,000 inventory cars worldwide. 99,998 after today.

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.

Just another day/reminder of how β€œthe richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit.

We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

Can’t wait for the Benghazi 2.0 hearings to happen over abandoning US Officials and Diplomats across the Middle East because a child rapist and money launderer is being blackmailed to start a war on behalf of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Jimmy Kimmel tonight: The reason Trump hasn't testified yet about the Epstein files is you can't put him under oath. If he swears to tell the truth, he's already committed perjury.

"I hope you are impressed," he said to me. "How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?"

"I hope you are impressed," he said to me. "How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?"

"How do you like the performance?"

An illegal war for the sake of spectacle and the amusement of POTUS.

Donald J Trump
The only living person who has not even one single redeeming quality. Not one.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

It’s almost like we didn’t think this through.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people β€” and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

The moment I knew she wasn't long for her role was the moment I learned Trump was irritated about the ad campaign focusing more on Noem than him.

First rule of Trumpworld is, you never do anything that makes you out to be anything more than a minor supporting character

My statement on Secretary Noem's firing:

And that’s how congressional hearings are supposed to work.

Hopefully there will be some fraud charges to go with it.

But way to shit your pants and change your shirt, Trump.

I'm sure Lewandowski, committed to the department, will remain as a close adviser to Mullin.

I guess we need to bring back some prop planes that fly slow so we can gun these things down.

Or A-10s would be nice. Too bad we wanted to get rid of all those.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

I worked on a reality show with Donald Trump and he had a famous tagline he would say at the end of every episode: β€œYou’re appointed as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas!!”
