Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production after years of poor sales in few markets

Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production after years of poor sales in few markets

The futuristic model once touted as a rival to legacy pickup trucks ultimately only sold in just a handful of markets because of its heavy, angular design.

AIPAC just changed their name to the United Democracy Project (UDP), thinking we wouldn’t notice… They pulled any continued funding under their prior PAC, in an attempt to disassociate from the hate they receive regularly, and throw us off their track. You cannot hide.

Not true. Hegseth gets his clothes from a company called Book a Tailor, which he confirmed in a Fox News segment. I suspect he got his clothes for free in exchange for this mention on Fox News. The company owner confirmed in an interview that their suits are made in Thailand. In the time he since promoted this company, three US suit factories have faced closure. Instead of promoting US-made clothing, Hegseth promoted cheap imports that undercut US manufacturers. You only think they're made in the US because the clothes are plastered with US flags. This is because you are more easily impressed by spectacle than substance, which is why this administration is so exciting for you.

In our reporting for our story, we found that Amodei was quite committed to opposting the invasion of Iraq. He wrote an op-ed in the Caltech student paper, spoke at meetings and drove friends in his Toyota Prius to protests in SF nytimes.com/2026/11/05/techn… xitter.gq/dummerspast39/status/2…

What Shaped Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s Thinking on A.I.

Some call him a doomer. Others see him as a responsible technologist. Here’s how the Anthropic chief executive’s thinking on artificial intelligence was shaped.

I found footage of 20yo Dario Amodei speaking against the Iraq War in 2003. 18 years before Anthropic even existed

Last night, for the first time ever, ALL statewide Republican candidates (non-judicial) gathered to chart the course to victory in November. We will ensure Texas remains solid Red and we will preserve common sense over the chaotic policies promoted by radical Democrats.

Let's not forget how quickly the tech executives got on their knees and kissed up to Trump immediately after he was elected. No flip-flopping allowed, fellas! You made your bed. You loved being friends with the Trump admin. cnbc.com/2024/11/06/trump-20…

A quick summary of what happened in the midterm elections. Trump asked for people to vote like he is on ballot. So, they did.

Here is the Covid debate in a nutshell.... On one side you have "Covid is dangerous" backed by 500,000 peer reviewed publications showing the damage Covid causes, coupled with the reality that more people are sick more often, for longer, more severely. On the other side you have, "Covid is mild", backed by, "the government said so", with zero proof, publications, or even real world evidence to show it to be true. There really is no debate, it's just facts vs fiction at this point, and the fiction is winning because its less work and more comfortable. Policy should match the reality.

Fox and Friends hosts desperately try to get President Donald Trump off the phone as he rants and raves about Sean Hannity's income. "Oh my gosh," Lawrence Jones mutters.

That man’s name was Welles Crowther and he single handedly saved 18 lives that day by repeatedly leading groups of people to safety all the way from the 78th floor of the South Tower. He even carried a woman 17 floors who was too injured and weak to walk. He died during the collapse because he refused to leave anyone behind and went back into the building hoping to find more survivors. He was more of a man and hero than Trump could ever hope to be.

This is what Trump was doing on 9/11.

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump was miles from Ground Zero on 9/11, speaking by phone from his office. He visited the area days later. His story of being lifted from the rubble by firefighters first appeared in 2021 and lacks corroborating evidence. politifact.com/factchecks/202… usatoday.com/story/news/fac… newsweek.com/fact-check-did…
