This may seem like a win but the fact that only 6 Republicans voted for it just demonstrates why we can't trust America again.
The Senate won't pass this and most Republicans clearly agree with Trump's war on Canada.

to be fair, the new Rivian R2 looks great, I'm on the waitlist. So there's hope for the American industry.
But the idea that the U.S. big three are turning away from EVs only means they are archaic husks of 20th Century industry.

A lot of people are conflating the fact that the American car industry sucks with the idea that people don't want EVs.
Any company that can produce good EVs, and isn't owned by a nazi, is doing just fine.

There was a point in my life when I thought the fall of the Berlin Wall would be the defining historical moment.
Then it was 9/11.
Then the pandemic.
I guess what I'm saying is that Francis Fukuyama can get bent.

wait, so you're telling me that if 51% of people placed bets that the moon was made of green cheese we couldn't use that to fund a Moon Cheese Extraction appropriations bill?

I came across the Prince Super Bowl halftime show today and I have to say, if you want to feel hope in humanity and the power of music and the human spirit you should watch it. I couldn’t stop smiling.

I am part of a group that's shipped half a million free 3D-printed whistles to defend against ICE — 200,000 of them in the first week of February alone.
