Sales of passenger cars and trucks have dropped due to high loan interest rates. Tens of thousands of vehicles are stuck at the car factories' warehouses with no buyers in sight⤵️

We’ve got armored personnel carriers roaming the streets of DC, “investigations” of political enemies, masked secret police brutalizing immigrants and U.S. citizens, SCOTUS rubber-stamping unconstitutional orders, GOP reps gerrymandering at the president’s order.
America is an authoritarian state.

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

Redford, 89 years old today.
“All the President’s Men” (1976) owes its existence to him — buying the film rights, developing a script and cajoling a reluctant Woodward & Bernstein.
I thought it was “a great character study,” he said — but for months, “they didn’t return my calls.”

On one hand, Republican officials call themselves "warfighters."
On the other, they become whiny crybabies at the thought of setting foot in DC streets and New York City subways that literal schoolchildren navigate every day without incident.
Real macho stuff.

This is terrible and should be denounced by DOD's civilian leadership but who who are instead, dangerously, encouraging it.
Incredible website identifying “woke” officers who need to be purged from the Army. Includes the former commander of Delta Force, a former Delta squadron commander, a 101st battalion commander from the battle of Ramadi, and an Iraq surge 2/75 Ranger company commander www.restorethemilitary.com/army/
