When "JD Vance" is purported to label Elon Musk "an unelected official," you know it's fake news, Dem propaganda.

A single 1-star rating, seemingly given as a form of protest against Tesla rather than the driver's service, has sparked a social media storm. Elon Musk has hit back at reports that an Uber driver received a low rating solely for driving a Tesla, further fuelling ongoing debates surrounding the electric vehicle company. On Saturday, Musk, Tesla's CEO, replied to an online post that said an Uber driver using a Tesla received a 1-star rating amidst national protests against the carmaker.

A record number of Americans are working multiple jobs, with side hustles becoming a financial lifeline in an economy where wages struggle to keep pace with inflation. According to a recent survey, over a third of U.S. adults now earn extra income through gigs such as freelancing or weekend shifts. With the cost of living continuing to rise—particularly for parents and carers—it is hardly surprising that so many are turning to second jobs to stay afloat.

“We’re not going to allow this mass deportation,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said during an appearance on The David Pakman Show, making it clear that state police will not cooperate. “We’re not going to allow this mass deportation,” Hochul said, explaining that they will cooperate only when there is a warrant or someone is on the terrorism watch list. “Where we will cooperate — and I did this even under the Biden administration — if you have a warrant, or you know, someone’s on a terrorism watch list or committing crimes in their home country, or committing crimes here, that’s a different category,

"When he [Trump] talks about birthright, and he's going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America.

I’m not sure Jill Biden gets it, and this is a political initiative by Mrs. Biden because the Democrats are done with this man. The elderly crust of the Democratic Party has yet to figure out that the base wants to turn the page on the Clintons and the Bidens—which have become two loser organizations. Hillary Clinton couldn’t do it, and Joe Biden is half brain-dead. Lady MacBeth wants back in on public life, and the family is reportedly offering services to rebuild the party.

Sparks flew during a closely-watched federal appeals court hearing Monday afternoon — with a Barack Obama-appointed judge tearing into the Trump administration’s plans to mass-deport alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. Judge Patricia Millett, a member of the bench since 2013, dominated much of the questioning — grilling a Justice Department lawyer over due process concerns for the 260 purported illegal migrants shipped to a notorious El Salvador prison earlier this month under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. “There were planeloads of people. There were no procedures in place to notify people,” Millett exclaimed at one point. “Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act
