like, let us assume that there are, in fact, hundreds of thousands or millions of people who will turn out to protest Trump who would not turn out to protest on your pet issue/general leftist malaise. Why are you against them protesting Trump? What's bad about them doing so?

Did Tesla cook its books in Canada to claim $30 million in government subsidies just before they expired?
Despite crashing demand, Tesla said it sold a car every 2 minutes for 24 hours a day at just four dealerships in just 3 days. The government is investigating.

Tesla Dealers Claimed They Sold 8,653 Cars in 3 Days in Canada. Did They?
The sales numbers provided by the company-owned shops allowed them to claim tens of millions in government rebates. Now those numbers are under scrutiny.

Something I hadn’t appreciated from the initial story is that Waltz adds Stephen Miller to the group *after* JD Vance had started questioning the plan and while Waltz is in the process of arguing back at him. It’s shortly after this that Miller swoops in with his reading of the president’s mood.

Their strategy appears to be simply hoping the legal system is full of judges with the same level of credulity as their average voter, and I don’t think they’ll find that to be true.

I am against playing dumb. Despite implicit belief to the contrary, there is no requirement within liberal theory that we must play dumb when people lie about or disguise their intentions. Hanania wrote a whole book, glowingly blurbed by Rufo, Cowen, & Thiel, about destroying civil rights laws.

Easiest way to know Musk has no actual engineering or scientific background. Never trust anyone in anything that matters who says expertise is irrelevant.
"For Mr. Musk, Mr. Davis represents the ideal employee — an engineer who will throw himself at any task, even if he has no expertise in the area."
Steve Davis, a longtime Elon Musk loyalist, is effectively the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency. He's followed the billionaire to his various companies, including SpaceX and X. Here is what to know about him. nyti.ms/4kElKPx

We spent a while reporting on Davis's past and what motivates him on cost-cutting.
One noteworthy anecdote: Davis was so obsessed with cost-cutting that he removed key parts from SpaceX's Falcon 1 rocket, directly causing its failure on its second ever test flight.

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.
![I am the immigration attorney for Jerce Reyes Barrios, born in January 16, 1989 in Venezuela. 2. In February and March 2024, Mr. Reyes Barrios marched in two demonstrations in Venezuela protesting the authoritarian rule of Maduro. At the second demonstration, he was detained and taken to a clandestine building where he was tortured (electric shocks and suffocation) along with other demonstrators. 3. Shortly after his release, he fled Venezuela for the United States. He registered with CBP One in Mexico, then presented himself to CBP officials on the day of his appointment. He was taken into custody and detained at Otay Mesa Detention Facility in September 2024. 4. We applied for asylum, withholding of removal, and CAT protection in December 2024. His final individual hearing is set for April 17, 2025 before Judge Robinson at the Otay Mesa Immigration Court. 5. On March 15, 2025, Mr. Reyes Barrios was deported to El Salvador with no notice to counsel or family. It was not until March 18, 2025 that counsel was able to reach an ICE official and learn that he had in fact been deported. 6. Mr. Reyes Barrios was/is a professional soccer player in Venezuela. He has never been arrested or charged with a crime. He has a steady employment record as a soccer player, as well as a soccer coach for children and youth. 7. Initially, Mr. Reyes Barrios was placed in maximum security at Otay Mesa and accused of being a Tren de Aragua gang member. The accusation is based on two things. First, he has a tattoo on his arm of a crown sitting atop a soccer ball with a rosary and the word "Dies." OHS alleges that this tattoo is proof of gang membership. In reality, he chose this tattoo, because it is similar to the logo for his favorite soccer team Real Madrid. See logo below. [pictures of the tattoo and the pictures of the logo]. 8. Second, OHS reviewed his social media posts and found a photo of Mr. Reyes Barrios making a hand gesture that they allege is proof of gang membership.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifncv2sfxob3h7ozdkoymku3wfpbknlroa6bric46v5y7asbrzrim@jpeg)

Some updates on our client:
@immdef.bsky.social went to his imm court hearing Monday and received confirmation from ICE that he has been “removed” to El Salvador. The Judge asked “how has he been removed if there is no removal order?” And the ICE attorney responded that they did not know.

Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. 🧵
