General Motors is bringing in potentially groundbreaking new battery tech that not only has 30% more energy density at the existing production cost for cells but also would circumvent China's stranglehold on intellectual property for EV batteries.
GM’s New Battery Tech Could Be a Breakthrough for Affordable EVs
General Motors has cracked the chemistry of lower-cost, energy-dense electric vehicle batteries. Budget-conscious gasoline holdouts may soon have no excuse.

Been thinking a lot lately about the morals of Jesus of Nazareth.
As a tan man from the Middle East, if Jesus were an undocumented American immigrant, I wonder if angry mobs would get ICE to deport him — especially for speaking out against greed and advocating for the poor.

Too little too late for John Fumbleman. His politics are purely performative. Remember when he voted yes to allow this to even see the light of day? We need a better man than Fetterman.
This blueprint sets the foundation for cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and other critical federal programs—no other way for $1.5 TRILLION in cuts without doing so.
Exactly why I voted a hard NO in the Senate.

Another great position the failed Senator. If only he, Schumer, and the others had used positions like this as bargaining chips when it came to the budget vote that they passed.
DO: Deport actual MS-13 gang members here in our country.
DO NOT: Deport otherwise legal immigrants who are not MS-13.
His removal was a confirmed administrative error and, by court order, must be united with his family here in America by April 7.

Cute words, let’s see if your actions match. Last time we were counting on Fetterman he switched his vote and betrayed all of his democratic colleagues in the House, and didn’t push a single issue. Maybe this was an agreement he made when visiting Mar-a-Lago. We need a better man than Fetterman.

What a wonderful sentiment to express when you could have used this as a bargaining chip with the budget. Instead, our failed senator just handed over Medicaid without conditions. He will do it again. We need a better man than Fetterman.
The Union Way of Life is sacred.
Public servants deserve the support and protection a union provides—and I’ll never support or understand why anybody would want to destroy them.

Less than half of national parks workers rehired, including in Texas
Despite court rulings, the National Park Service only rehired 400 employees who were fired in February.

Fetterman fails to understand that appeasement will never satisfy this autocratic regime that he has endorsed at different intersections. Perhaps if his call routing system wasn’t failing today after callers pressed 1, his fee remaining staff would have taken more calls asking him to vote No.
My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.
My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.
I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

Trump plans to sign an executive order barring certain student loan borrowers from eligibility for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. This popular federal program forgives a portion of student debt for individuals who work in government or qualifying nonprofit jobs for ten years.
