Tesla launches Robotaxi service in Houston suburbs Tesla's suburban rollout is a different approach from other autonomous ride-hailing companies.

So the Justice Department admits in its own filings that the following groups are extremist groups. Can someone ask Patel and Blanche how aggressively DOJ/FBI are monitoring them, considering how dangerous they are? Are they screening gov employees for affiliations with these groups?

‘Staggering’ number of people believe unproven claims about vaccines, raw milk and more Survey results suggest a rise in questioning of scientific evidence.

New Survey: More than two-thirds of the public believe at least one false or unproven health claim — such as the idea that taking paracetamol during pregnancy causes autism
