U.S. consumer protection regulators have the structural integrity of a still-damp fourth grade paper mache art project, yet corporatists still endlessly whine about how hard they have it here
Feds give Tesla another five weeks to respond to FSD probe
Regulators want to know why Tesla's system ignores red lights and runs into traffic.

Outside Gracie Mansion. This is his job. But dare I day it he seems genuinely affected and happy to be there. There’s potentially immense power in that.

White people using whiteness to combat white supremacy is key to defeating white supremacy.
A big part of why the Right is furious at White women right now is because they're increasingly using their Whiteness as shield and a weapon and it's honestly fucking great.
what a legend lmao

The IRS is effectively unable to audit private equity, venture capital, and real estate investment firms.
Thousands of workers have been fired from the agency since DOGE and the world's richest man took an ax to it.
Now audits of these giant enterprises have dropped 80 or 90%.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.
