If you're familiar with the asylum process, then you know that a grant of asylum within ninety days only happens when a certain alphabet soup government agency goes to bat for the applicant and insists that the process be expedited. That's plainly what happened here. The assailant is a company man.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.

“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.
The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

This man’s values are based in power, greed and division. They are so far removed from the values of the Australian people.
We need a government that has the courage to stand up to him, reject his racism, reject US bases and forge an independent peaceful path for Australia.

I keep seeing people say that Trump will resign. He isn’t going anywhere unless he’s incapacitated or deceased. If he is going down, he will try to take the whole country down with him. And he can only do that provided he’s in power. We are entering a dangerous period in this national nightmare.

Just to cut through the backslapping: the very small emissions reduction (2%) is nowhere near enough even for our own local targets. These are also the easiest cuts (ie from local pwr generation bc we are buying solar panels) and are only in one sector.
Exported emissions are 4x bigger and growing.

The raw data looks even worse for Tesla in Europe.

Scroll down the PDF until you find the breakdown by manufacturer.

Market share this October was less than half what is was in October 2024, despite the EV share of vehicles overall growing rapidly.

Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.
