There’s a mass exodus from AirBnB to VRBO because of a co-founder & board member’s ties to the Heritage Foundation, Project 25, Tesla, and DOGE…

Act accordingly. ✨

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.

One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

One thing that the general public is not that aware of re: Tesla is that *they do not manufacture their own battery cells*

They lease space in their factories for third-parties such as Panasonic.

A lot of people invested in Tesla because they thought Tesla was vertically integrated re: the cells.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

The naked impotence and low class of out-of-pram-toy-throwing by the not-qualified-to-be-an-engineer would be comical if it were not so tragic a sign of the year upcoming..
The hissy fit in that other place about the exodus to blue sky feels like a team finding out they don’t get to play all their games at home anymore.
