Biden tried to implement student loan forgiveness through the education department, but the courts shot it down. Then he piecemeal implemented it in groups where he could. It’s not his fault the legislature didn’t have a strong enough majority to pass it as a law or boost it through their budgetary processes.
Elon is older than the stepsister his dad impregnated, she’s 37 years old. Her mother had children by Musk’s father as well, so that is one weird family tree.
Do you really want to leave Republicans in charge of the legislature until Cruz is up for reelection?
Just because someone has a higher paycheck and a slightly nicer car doesn’t mean they have made it beyond living a paycheck to paycheck grind. Most of these people are living in a slightly more expensive neighborhood that eats up a lot of those slightly higher wages and they still have to budget for major purchases like a new car. Tesla owners aren’t a bunch of hedge fund managers living in mansions behind gates, separate from the rest of us. I don’t have a Tesla myself, but I live in a boring suburban neighborhood full of Teslas.
Not necessarily, it could be like Russia electing Putin into office. In 2008 he traded roles and became prime minister due to the consecutive term limits they had there, then he went back to the presidency and abolished that whole restriction so he could remain president for the rest of his life. Russia still has elections, but opposition candidates get disappeared. It’s more of democracy theater than actual democracy.
42% of the state did, not everyone in Texas is a Republican.
The stickers do help, I have seen one before and then I remember how it was exciting in the early days that someone was very publicly making a big push to introduce a viable alternative to internal combustion engines. We know a lot more now about Musk and Tesla than we did back when the first cars rolled out. A lot of the early Tesla owners probably meant well and it doesn’t help that nearly all the infrastructure (at least in my area) is car-only and hostile towards other forms of transit.
His PAC is targeting multiple groups separately with conflicting messages instead of advertising to users across the platform broadly with messages that don’t contain contradictions. The PAC is trying to convince everyone that Harris supports whoever they assume to be each ad recipient’s big enemy.
My entire county only has one early voting location. I miss the convenience of voting in a random place like a nearby store when I lived in a more populated area instead of having to drive halfway across the county.
RFK Jr. wants to send more bombs to Gaza and he has also contributed to plenty of preventable deaths with his years of spreading antivaccination disinformation.
His remarks on leveling Gaza are in the first result I found when I looked up his stance on Israel: https://www.timesofisrael.com/2024-dark-horse-rfk-jr-questions-gaza-ceasefire-defends-israeli-offensive/
They are already claiming she shouldn’t be eligible because she has no children of her own, only step children. No guy ever has been told he should be ineligible for office over not having children.
The question then becomes how well does this work in place of traditional plastics? Does it have the same strength and water resistance? It needs to hold up to moisture in order to be used for takeout. If food partially breaks it down, people will be ingesting it so toxicity is also a concern. It will be interesting to see where this goes. Even if it can only replace shopping bags, that will still be a huge improvement. So many bags blow away in the wind and I live in an area that made it illegal for cities to ban single use shopping bags.
This report is inaccurate and did not take the time to double check the official streams. It is actually the PBS stream that has extra cheering/applause and the Fox News version is without. I’m honestly surprised because Fox News is the one with a lengthy history of lying on air.
