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.

Jon Ossoff, the nation’s most endangered Senate Democrat, sees a path for reelection in a state President Donald Trump won in 2024 and at a time when Democrats are suffering rock-bottom approval ratings. He plans to go all out against Trump. “I have never seen opposition energy like this — from dyed-in-the-wool Democrats to moderate Republicans,” Ossoff told CNN before making a rather bold prediction at a time when his party is still reeling from the fall elections. “The energy and opposition, I believe, is building toward a landslide victory in 2026,” the Georgia Democrat said. “A landslide victory for

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

Lawmakers and union members gathered on the Minnesota State Capitol steps on Thursday to speak out against Gov. Tim Walz’s plan for thousands of state employees to return to the office. 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. The policy would affect about 15,000 of 40,000 state workers. “Workers are angry. Workers are threatening to quit over this,” said Rep.

WASHINGTON — The dustup over the future of the Democratic Party and how lawmakers should blunt President Donald Trump’s grip on Washington showed little signs of abating this week, with Sen. John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, still playing a central role. Former Democratic Congressman Conor Lamb, who finished second to Mr. Fetterman in the state’s 2022 Senate primary, accused the senator on Friday of “collaborating with — rather than fighting” the president and his Republican Party, which controls both chambers of Congress. Mr. Lamb said Mr. Fetterman — who has slammed Democratic protests of Trump and last week voted in favor

Besides repeatedly breaching the Trump-brokered partial ceasefire on energy and infrastructure, Zelensky has now made a TV statement that contains at least two very controversial points. First, he again stated that the hundreds of billions of dollars in US aid to the Kiev regime were NOT ‘loans’, but rather, donations – despite the fact that nothing was ever registered as such. Secondly, he alerted that Ukraine will NOT sign the reworked rare-earth/mineral exploration deal,

The two also attacked Donalds and lied about his past comments on black families, accusing him of saying “life was better under Jim Crow.” However, Donalds never said this.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Jennifer Hegseth attended a March 6 “high level meeting” with her husband and U.K. Secretary of Defense John Healey, a day after the U.S. said it would suspend sharing intelligence with Ukraine in NATO’s proxy war on Russia. According to the outlet, Mrs. Hegseth also attended a NATO meeting during a trip to Brussels in February,

"Ukraine received a new agreement project from the U.S. regarding mineral resources, which is an entirely different document from the previous framework agreement," said Zelensky, adding "Ukraine will not recognize U.S. military aid as debt." "We are grateful for the support, but this is not a credit, and we will not allow it," Zelensky continued. The Ukrainian president also said that they are unwilling to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin "or with someone who would represent Russia,"

Late last night, President Trump signed an executive order "to end collective bargaining with Federal unions" at more than two dozen government agencies. In theory this puts an end to collective bargaining for more than half of all federal workers. President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday evening abolishing union rights at more than two dozen federal agencies and offices, in a major expansion of the administration’s efforts to shrink the federal government. The White House cited national security concerns for terminating workers’ ability to bargain collectively, but the order applies at agencies with both direct and indirect links to national security.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected the latest U.S. proposal for a minerals deal that would create a partnership to repay the United States for ongoing financial support. According to Zelenskyy, the deal to share in oil, gas and mineral revenue would amount to debt that would disqualify them from EU membership due to unstable financials.

It’s not entirely clear if he was real or fictional. Most historians believe he was probably real, but it’s tricky to verify: The legend of Lucius Cincinnatus was (enthusiastically) retold in Titus “Livy” Livius’ book, the “History of Rome,” which was written a few decades before Christ. Unquestionably, Livius’ book included real, verifiable, historic events, but it also included the mythology of the Trojan War and tales of magical twins suckled by a she-wolf. But the legend of Lucius Cincinnatus still endures. He’s even the namesake of an American city in southwest Ohio. And his story continues to influence kings, queens, emperors, and (yes) even U.S. presidents.
