Most car buyers, new and used, live in a single family home. Most car buyers drive ~40 miles aday and 50-250 miles on road trips. Most car buyers would be better served with an EV and be able to handle their commute for pennies on the dollar with a household plug. Most avoid EVs due to FUD.

You know, lots of people ally themselves with Donald Trump thinking that it will let them achieve their wildest dreams

Well did it work for those people?

No, it never does, I mean these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but…

But it might work for us

This is simply not generating either the volume or tone of scandal coverage that effectively ended Joe Biden's presidency when he was unable to produce a surgically-clean implementation of Donald Trump's totally unplanned & poorly timed withdrawal from Afghanistan: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Consumers are *really* bad at expressing their economic well-being, it's basically just whatever pump prices are. Which is why maximizing EV share of the vehicle fleet is so important for breaking the carbon political economy in the US. Any other solution is doomed.

This story makes it sound like the major problem is that the Trump Admin did this w/in 60 days of an election. Yes, that's a real abuse. But the major problem is they're basically threatening to denaturalize an opposition legislator, based on racist insinuations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

The search takes place within the 60-day window of the midterm elections, when the Justice Department has historically avoided such investigative steps related to political candidates.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Judges need to replace the presumption of regularity with the presumption of *irregularity* when it comes to Trump et alia. Judge Reyes' scolding, while cathartic, isn't enough. Lawyers need to be punished, and the judge also should use this bad behavior to guide decisions.

For Public Notice, I wrote about Minnesotans planting our feet to stand strong against renewed attacks on our Somali communities, but I have to admit I didn’t have today’s “raid a sitting member of Congress’s home based solely on Trump’s xenophobia” in there as a possibility.

Trump wants a race war. Minnesotans won’t take the bait.
We love our Somali neighbors.

We've been boiled frogs for so long this never gets mentioned. But this violates DOJ policies that have been in place for decades, ones that Defense Attorney Todd Blanche said should have extended for the entirety of the time his client had declared his candidacy. (Tho I think this was DHS.)

Every Democrat should shout this from the damn rooftops. Musk specifically is unpopular, and voters generally don't like the idea of rich people buying the government. There's no downside to branding Musk as a greedy prick who is corrupting democracy for his own gain. It's the truth!

The more combative Dems get, the more of this they will run into. It will be a coordinated wave of elite opinion, scolding them, tamping them down. The fight strategy *only* works if they are willing to bull their way through it, blow it off, mock it. (Their history does not raise one's hopes.)

Here is my pitch for anyone who has worries about rail: I think that building out rail is a necessary (but not sufficient) step in transforming American cities from totally car dependent to slightly walkable, in a way that no other form of transit is.
