How to transform your car brand into a symbol of hate. Cartoon by Fredrik Skavlan in Aftenposten, a Norwegian newspaper
4 long, vertical and narrow red flags with black Tesla logos on them, resembling a uniform display. two men in blue suits stand nearby, looking at the flags. one says, “somehow it feels more than just a car brand.”

By shutting down foreign aide the food that normally goes to Ukraine stops. Musk controls Star link. That may also stop. Trump and his whole cabinets are traitors.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

For those wondering why there’s a bear on California flag—it’s a tribute to CA’s strength, defiance, & fearless independence. In 1846, CA rebelled & was briefly its own country. The last of the grizzlies were wiped out by 1920s, but their spirit lives on. Bold, rebellious, & unmistakably Californian

Birthright citizenship remains the law of the land. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
point out, it is also unworkable. (See Dkt. No. 69-1 at 17.) The recordkeeping and administrative burden from such an arrangement, (see id.), ' also mandates nationwide relief. Nor is it clear what, if any, prejudice the Government would suffer from nationwide relief. In its brief in opposition, it points to none. (See Dkt. No. 84 at 57-59).

For all these reasons, the Court finds that relief must be nationwide. Anything less is ineffectual.

III. CONCLUSION

Citizenship by birth is an unequivocal Constitutional right. It is one of the precious principles that makes the United States the great nation that it is. The President cannot change, limit, or qualify this Constitutional right via an executive order. The Court GRANTS the i Plaintiffs' motions for a nationwide preliminary injunction (Dkt Nos, 63, 74) and ENJOINS enforcement or implementation of the Order on a nationwide basis.

Trump just ordered 2 dams opened up in California in an unprecedented move that risks depleting the reservoirs ahead of the dry summer months. And the kicker? The water from the dams doesn't even flow to Los Angeles.

OMB is freezing student loans. No disbursements to colleges. It wasn’t enough to hamstring the research. Now he’s kneecapping the kids. The culmination of a 50-year Koch project to disembowel institutions of higher learning. What they couldn’t do intellectually, they’ll do through bankruptcy.
