Quite a scandal: Biden was prepared to spend a few hundred thousand dollars on Teslas for the State Department, and the Trump administration altered that to $400 million, then back-dated the records to make it look like Biden did it. State canceled the contract after @DropSiteNews exposed it. DOGE should ask us for tips in saving actual money for the taxpayer, beyond just canceling Reuters subs
Drop Site@DropSiteNews

BREAKING: NPR has obtained a State Department document revealing that the Biden administration planned to allocate only $483,000 in the 2025 fiscal year for electric vehicle purchases—far less than the $400 million Drop Site revealed was being set aside for Tesla vehicles under the Trump administration (until a recent quiet revision to the procurement document). A former White House official familiar with the plans suggested the $400 million allocation to Tesla was a deliberate move, not a clerical error. The State Department and Tesla had agreed to research armoring electric vehicles under Biden, but no funds had been earmarked for “Armored” Teslas. The approved $483,000 budget was intended for light-duty EVs, and another $3 million was set aside for supporting equipment, like charging stations. The revised procurement document indicates it was originally published in December, at the end of then-President Joe Biden's term, but it doesn’t appear in the Internet Archive for that month.

The people who profit from incarceration of human beings are feeling great right now. If you need another reason to get involved in fighting this administration, here's a good one.

Joe Biden should not hand the keys to a mass deportation machine to Donald Trump. Take action, @POTUS!
Democracy Now!@democracynow

"One of the ways that deportation is facilitated is by having detention capacity," says Silky Shah, executive director of @DetentionWatch. She says the Biden administration could hamper the Trump team's promised mass deportations if they “start shutting down facilities now.”

I've watched Texas' treatment of immigrants devolve to depths I couldn't imagine a decade ago. But even I'm unprepared for the wanton cruelty to immigrant children we are going to see in 2025...

Elon Musk once fired someone at Twitter for not laughing at his 69 joke, so let's just say his staffing decisions are not exactly going to be high quality.
PBS News@NewsHour

Elon Musk was among Donald Trump’s most visible and powerful surrogates on the campaign trail. He remains within the inner circle, joining calls with world leaders and weighing in on staffing decisions. to.pbs.org/4fpT0qS
