Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk has drawn the ire of Democrats due to his role in the Trump administration‘s efforts to cut waste in the federal government, with some New York lawmakers targeting his company with a new piece of legislation. Tesla has been the target of protests and attacks from Democrats in recent months as their opposition to Musk has intensified. In the New York legislature, Democratic state Sen. Patricia Fahy introduced legislation Wednesday that would take away Tesla’s permits to run five showrooms in the state and open it up to other electric vehicle manufacturers seeking to sell

Comments:

The Democrats Hammer & Sickle is showing. They want government legislation to make it harder for Tesla to sell in the state.

This is a bill of attainder and unconstitutional.

If the government tries to create a law to just hurt one person it's called a Bill of Attainder and is unconstitutional. See Article I, Sections 9 and 10 of the US Constitution.

Aren't the democrats of the party that wants everyone to use electric cars because otherwise we will all die of heat prostration due to climate change? Destroying Tesla's and the dealers who sell them doesn't seem very rational to me.

I agree with #'s 1 and 2. This was my first thought as well. Elon Musk has billions in the bank and some very high powered attorneys at his beck and call. A multi-BILLION $ lawsuit and a forced reading of the Constitution would likely change a bunch of minds on this!!

So then Democrats really don’t want electric cars and don’t want anyone else to have them? What about greening the planet? Oh, you mean they really didn’t mean all that eco-stuff? Why would an entire political party demand phasing out the internal combustion engine for decades, then overnight, abandon electric cars? You mean they wanted to control the people’s buying habits to suppress whatever they don’t like? But wait —- now they are demanding shutting down a business because of Trump’s America First agenda? How is that (a) sane, (b) objective, (c) fair, (d) normal, or (e) effective? Are these the same people who had no problem with allowing Chinese spy balloons and the Chinese land buys around American air bases? Are these the same people who embraced Musk when he was a Democrat? Are these the same people who put drag queens in kindergarten and kiddie porn in school libraries, but forbade Bibles? Are these the same people who rioted in the streets and burned down cities while denying FEMA help to Republicans after Helene? Really, Democrats, do you know how bad this makes you look? If Democrats cannot get control over their woke and their TDS, they will relegate themselves to the garbage chute of politics if they have not already done so. Grow up and start thinking about American liberty and prosperity.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is leading Chuck Schumer by double digits in a new head-to-head poll of the 2028 New York primary. The survey by the liberal firm Data for Progress, first shared with POLITICO, found that 55 percent of Democratic likely voters said they supported or leaned toward supporting Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, while 36 percent backed or leaned toward backing Sen. Schumer. Nine percent were undecided. The poll is the latest sign that Schumer’s standing among the Democratic base has taken a hit since he voted to advance a GOP funding bill last month that avoided a government shutdown. The fact that

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is known for steering clear of the traditional, somber attire expected in Washington, DC, playing the suit game by his own rules. But he's also got a second kind of unconventional look — operator casual. It's a different vibe from the conspicuously bright blue suit he wore at the recent NATO summit, drawing criticism, but it shares some similarities to some of his other preferred flair, like flag-linings in his suits, patriotic socks, and a star-spangled pocket square. The style gained momentum during the Global War on Terrorism, or GWOT, though earlier versions date back to

Tesla has become a lightning rod for violent attacks and vandalism in the months since CEO Elon Musk joined the Trump administration. Now, people who disagree with Musk’s role in politics are hoping to channel their emotions into something peaceful: a day of mass nonviolent protests at Tesla locations nationwide. More than 200 protests are scheduled to take place Saturday during what organizers are calling a global day of action, part of a campaign called “Tesla Takedown.” The organizers are hoping to damage Musk’s political standing by hurting the sales and stock price of the electric-car maker, the foundation of

Walz sent out a memo on Tuesday notifying government employees that starting on June 1, at least half of their shifts will have to be in person.

Now the artist’s 41-year career “is in danger of not recovering” from the backlash, Boardman said in a statement on her website on Saturday.

In a bold move that champions both economic growth and practical forest management, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on Friday that it will greenlight logging in America’s national forests. This decision, spearheaded by USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins, follows President Donald Trump’s executive order last month aimed at revitalizing the nation’s timber industry. For Americans, this is a long-overdue step toward restoring common-sense stewardship of our natural resources while bolstering rural economies battered by years of overregulation and neglect.

President Donald Trump is more popular now than before he sent the global markets into a frenzy by enacting sweeping new tariffs. An exclusive DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners survey of over 1,000 registered voters conducted from March 31 to April 3 found that the Republican remains largely popular in the U.S. The poll found that Trump's approval rating rose to 53 percent, a 4-point increase over last week when it was 49 percent. Trump's rising approval rating is surprising given the flak the White House has received over the tariff order signed Wednesday. It is up by 13 points since March 7 among those aged 18 to 29.
