New Tesla Model Y has a "0% for 3 years" loan program in China and zero order backlog in the US, despite the cheaper version launched last week.

What we’re witnessing isn’t policy — it’s a tantrum in the guise of governance. The U.S. administration is targeting universities like Cornell and Northwestern not to protect democracy, but to crush it. Censorship through funding threats is the coward’s tool of control.

SCOTUS didn’t even have equitable discretion to vacate Boasberg’s orders b/c he was in the middle of contempt proceedings. You have to have “clean hands.” It would be like a drug dealer filing a complaint because he didn’t get paid. Cannon did the same thing in the documents special master case.

If a future Democratic trifecta wanted to float a trial balloon on expanding the Supreme Court, they should expand the lower courts to the point that their appointments in red states are the majority. And scrap the convention of giving the senators of a state a say in who gets nominated.
