The White House is cutting off $250 million for Minnesotans health care.

🚨 Let me explain what Uber just did because nobody's going to frame it this way.. > In 2009 Travis Kalanick launched Uber with a simple pitch.. "everyone deserves a private driver".. He needed millions of regular people to quit their jobs and drive strangers around.. > Drivers took out car loans.. left stable jobs.. drove 14 hour shifts.. Uber took 20% and quietly pushed it past 50%" and called them "independent contractors" so they didn't have to pay benefits.. > Drivers protested.. sued.. begged for basic wages.. Uber fought every single lawsuit.. spent billions on lobbyists to keep them classified as gig workers not employees.. The drivers WERE the product.. not the customers.. Uber needed them to prove that people would get in a stranger's car.. that was the experiment.. > Today Uber just announced a $1.25 billion investment in Rivian to build a robotaxi fleet.. $1.25 billion.. not to pay drivers more.. not to give them benefits.. to replace them entirely.. > every driver who worked 14 hour shifts.. who skipped weekends with their kids.. who kept their rating above 4.8 so they wouldn't get deactivated.. they were proving the model works.. they were building the demand.. they were showing Uber exactly where people go, when they go, and how much they'll pay.. and now that the demand is proven and the data is collected.. Uber just launched an entire division called "AV Labs" to collect driving data for robotaxis..

The Democrats said FEMA had no money for Americans in Maui. The Democrats said FEMA had no money for Americans in East Palestine, Ohio. The Democrats said FEMA had no money for Americans in western North Carolina. But FEMA had an extra $1 billion to spend on illegal aliens. As a bonus, the Democrats built two massive mega-voting centers on foreign soil to house illegal aliens and import them in an attempt to overthrow the constitutional republic of the United States—all at the taxpayers’ expense. And the Democrats said the border was more secure than at any time in U.S. history.
