Testing finds toxic metals where Tesla discharges wastewater
The drainage district that commissioned the testing has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the company, which says it is in compliance with all requirements for its state wastewater discharge permit.

There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

Twitter Is Dead, X Is Elon’s Personal Propaganda Platform, Where Grok Checks His Feed Before Answering
Last week, Elon Musk's Grok AI started spewing extreme antisemitism, calling itself "MechaHitler" and pushing conspiracy theories about Jewish people. But that wasn't the most revealing part of the story. The real smoking gun came courtesy of AI researcher Simon Willison, who discovered something far more insidious: when you ask Grok controversial questions, it quietly searches X for Elon Musk's opinions before responding…

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a @reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility. 11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.
A picture shows 32 men arranging themselves into an SOS on the ground of a prison yard. The ground is bare earth. All the men are wearing red or orange prison jumpsuits.

I don't know that I could think of a better illustration of a journalist following the authoritarian's playbook than this description of Trump's first 100 days. I'm not just criticizing the journalism, here. I'm saying journalists are playing the role Trump wants them to play.
At the entrance of the Oval Office, where the president and his visitors can see it every day, hangs the mug shot taken of a glowering Donald J. Trump after being arrested and charged with racketeering to overthrow an election.
A couple of hundred feet away, in the grand foyer of the White House state floor where the official portraits of past presidents in solemn poses are on display, hangs a painting of a defiant Mr. Trump, blood splattered on his face by would-be assassin’s bullet, angrily pumping his fist and shouting, “Fight! Fight!”
These icons of Mr. Trump’s journey back to power loom large as he completes the first 100 days of his second presidency. There is a reason he has placed these images in positions of prominence. They reflect the crucibles of a man who escaped existential threats of prison and death in his quest for vindication and vengeance. They fuel his self-authored narrative as a man of destiny, saved by God to save America.And so the self-described man of destiny pushes forward without as much resistance, pushing to rid the country of millions of immigrants, pushing to eradicate “woke culture,” pushing to upend the global economy, pushing to punish those standing in his way, pushing to expand America’s borders and unravel its economic and security alliances. Pushing, pushing, pushing.
He looks up most days and sees that mug shot and maybe passes that painting with the blood on his face and he knows what could have been. By all accounts, for good or ill, he has changed the country in just 100 days. Under the Constitution, he has 1,361 more to go.
