Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Apparently Tesla isn't selling any cars which also means it's not selling carbon credits. It made 2.7 billion in carbon credits last year. Carbon credits is largely what has kept the company afloat

An important source of carbon credit revenue could quickly dry up for Tesla. And the pressure is on, experts warn.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

A new statement from the White House makes it clear they’re going to reverse the Biden administration’s reforms on overdraft fees and blocking medical debt from being listed on credit reports.
CFPB Isn't a Wall Street Regulator, It's a Main Street Regulator
New polling from CBS News shows Americans are overwhelmingly positive about President Donald J. Trump's return to office and his commitment to making good on his promises.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) - the brainchild of Sen. Elizabeth Warren - has long functioned as another woke, weaponized arm of the bureaucracy that leverages its power against certain industries and individuals disfavored by so-called "elites."
For example:
• CFPB used its slush fund - collected from targeting financial institutions - to support radical advocacy groups. One such group is the Soros-backed Mississippi Center for Justice, which advocates for "racial and economic justice," targets religious liberty, and assists illegal immigrants seeking to skirt our nation's laws. Another is The Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia, whose board features senior left-wing officials and has lobbied hundreds of times for more welfare spending.
• CFBP threatened banks for refusing to lend to illegal immigrants.
• CFPB targeted a Chicago small business after it complained about the city's rampant crime.
• CFPB was accused of mining American citizens' personal financial information — with a 2017 inspector general's report raising significant concerns about its data security.
• CFPB granted itself broad new powers in the waning hours of the lame duck
Biden administration. Described as classic "government overreach," the agency gave itself the authority to regulate Americans' checking accounts by dictating government price controls and unilaterally buried $50 billion in medical debt.

The Trump admin wants to imprison AMERICAN CITIZENS in a foreign country against their will. They want a prison where the US constitution has NO jurisdiction. El Salvador was specifically chosen because it's a Democratically back-sliding nation. Make no mistake, this is a direct step towards fascism

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit is the largest tax cut for child care on the books today. It saves parents thousands of dollars per year. Republicans have plans to eliminate it.
Eliminate Credit for Child and Dependent Care $55 billion in 10-year savings VIABILITY: HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW Taxpayers can claim a credit for a portion of their child and dependent care expenses (up to $2,100). This option would remove the child and dependent care credit, yielding $55 billion in savings over 10 years.

Trump lies all the time about who will pay his tariffs. It’s a $2 trillion tax hike on consumer goods, and Americans will be the ones who pay for it. A devastating increase in the cost of living for working families and a huge hike in operating costs for small businesses.
10 Percent Tariff $1.9 trillion in 10-year savings VIABILITY: HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW This option would create a 10% across the board tariff on all imports.

Anecdotal at best, but here's a view of Broadway from the corner of Reade Street. 1/7/25 at 3:00 pm on the left versus 7/2/24 at 2:20 pm on the right. Post-congestion pricing, there's less traffic, and the commercial trucks/vans have somewhere to park instead of parking in a travel/bus lane.

There is no way to cut $2.5T in spending unless you make cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. My parent’s social security check should not be cut to pay for President Elon Musk’s massive billionaire tax cuts.
