It's kind of remarkable how effective he is at bringing Europe together. From Left to Right, everyone in the EU and UK can agree... this guy is a shcmuck and we are better off without him.
While I'm glad they are doing SOMETHING, I'm not happy with this plan.
(a) It delays real action
(b) There is no good reason not to impeach, and huge costs they are not accounting for in not
(c) Trump needs to go to jail - stop trying to give him a diminished capacity defense!

Going Rogue
Robbie and Nicole both ran into travel delays today so Chad Kirchner is jumping in. Sam makes the case for buying an Acura Integra A-Spec over the ADX. Nissan has revealed its next-generation Rogue and teased the upcoming XTerra. Kia is laying out its plans through 2030 including a…
I hope more people focus on the import of this turnout last year. Not least bc standing up to bigotry can itself be a rallying cry.
anyone who says people opposing data centers are just nimbys need to stop echoing industry propaganda and see what it’s actually like to live near one
While America may be going back in time on mRNA, vaccines, electrification, renewable energy and basically everything, the rest of the world is probably going to pick up the slack and we'll be left in the dust when it comes to science and R&D
Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.
"With his bloodthirsty utterances, his fierce loyalty to Trump and his appalling inability to manage this huge moment in world history, Hegseth is every bit the disaster that anybody sensible could have seen coming," writes @sulliview.bsky.social.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Back last summer when Jeep first showed us the new Cherokee, it was clearly not a vehicle meant to go off-road. They did strongly hint that a new Trailhawk variant was coming. Last week at Easter Jeep Safari, they showed a concept called Cherokee Upland & the new Trailhawk is confirmed for later 26

Tesla FSD v14.2.2.5 barrels towards a closed highway exit at 85 mph, ignores highway cones and plows over them at 70 mph, forcing the driver to slam the brakes to avoid a barrier. FSD is a danger to everyone on the road and must be banned.
Cost comes up as a barrier to EV adoption. Let’s dig into it.
$10 of $4/gal gas gets you 80 miles of driving in a Hyundai Kona $10 of electricity gets you 270 miles of driving in the EV version of the Hyundai Kona.
That’s 3 times further for the same $10 & that’s before gas prices go up again!
Everyone that continues to pay for these legacy media outlets that refuse to call out the truth of what is happening is also complicit in this sane-washing. The Times, Post and others do this because they continue to get away with it. If you have a subscription, cancel it.

Unfortunately, it's Robbie's turn to lose his voice this week so our pal Perry Stern stepped in which worked out well because he was also at the New York Auto Show with us last week and we have lots to talk about. Before that Nicole shares her thoughts on the Dodge Durango…
I'm sure other people have had this observation before, but we should really get those AC EV charger sockets they have in Europe here in the U.S. Would probably eliminate the issue of vandalism or accidental damage to cables on AC chargers in public areas (probably would look cleaner, too)
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

A different perspective.
Always helpful.

Autotrader doesn't participate in the transaction. If you find something you like you can contact the dealer through autotrader or call them directly
Dealers post the inventory they have on autotrader. Once you buy the vehicle you don't actually need to get it serviced there. You can go to any dealer for the brand for any warranty repairs, recalls or other service
Looking on autotrader I'm finding lot's of bolts under 4 years old in that price range and they have the same battery warranty www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sal...
