Fox News host Jessica Tarlov confronted billionaire Elon Musk on Tuesday over his glaring conflicts of interest as an adviser for President Donald Trump. “So you’ve been making cuts to a lot of the agencies that have open investigations and regulatory battles with your companies,” said “The Five” host of Musk’s push to purge the federal budget of wasteful spending with his so-called Department of Government Efficiency. She continued, “At the same time you continue to get billions in government contracts. Tesla gets billions in subsidies. How do you explain that to the American people?”Tarlov has previously called out the...

Chadd Ritenbaugh, a 55-year-old man from Doylestown Township, Pennsylvania, has been charged with vandalizing a Tesla SUV parked outside a Planet Fitness gym, allegedly scratching a swastika symbol onto the vehicle. The incident, which took place earlier this week, led to an investigation that ultimately identified the suspect. The alleged vandalism occurred Monday morning when the owner of a Tesla noticed fresh scratch marks on the vehicle upon returning home from her workout. She reviewed footage from her car’s camera system, which showed a man parking his Lexus next to the Tesla before ducking behind it and apparently scratching the...

Patients prescribed drugs for movement disorders - including restless leg syndrome (RLS) - say doctors did not warn them about serious side effects that led them to seek out risky sexual behaviour. Twenty women have told the BBC that the drugs - given to them for RLS, which causes an irresistible urge to move - ruined their lives. A report by drugs firm GSK - seen by the BBC - shows it learned in 2003 of a link between the medicines, known as dopamine agonist drugs, and what it described as "deviant" sexual behaviour. While there is no explicit reference...

Former President Joe Biden posted on X Saturday to celebrate International Women's Day, and many Americans called out his administration's record of enabling transgender athletes to compete in women's sports. "Like so many of you, I'm celebrating the incredible women in my life today. International Women's Day is a time to recognize the achievements of women and girls everywhere and recommit our efforts to advance dignity, opportunity, and equality for all. When women and girls succeed, communities, economies, and democracies succeed," Biden wrote. During Biden's presidency, he signed an executive order that allowed trans athletes to compete in women's and...

Left-wing pop star and former Kamala Harris campaign surrogate Lizzo says the left’s warnings about President Donald Trump starting Word War III have been vindicated by Elon Musk saying the U.S. should withdraw from the United Nations and NATO.“When we said trump would start ww3 they said we were being ‘dramatic’…” Lizzo wrote in a Sunday post on the leftist echo chamber social media platform Bluesky, sharing the headline, “Elon Musk Supports US Withdrawal from NATO, UN.”The headline Lizzo shared was from a Newsweek article, reporting that Musk “has supported a call for the U.S. to withdraw from the North...

The Kvartal 95 Facebook page posted a photo of a piano with Trump’s name on it. The photo is in reference to the famous skit where Zelensky played the piano with his penis and no pants on. The photo, featuring a black grand piano with ‘Trump’ written on it, was published by the studio on Facebook and Instagram on Friday after Zelensky was asked to leave the White House.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston wants to add a 20% service charge to local restaurant tabs — and then tax it — to help restaurants cope with the city’s minimum wage and promote what he called pay equity among tipped and non-tipped employees. On Monday, Johnston told City Cast Denver, a popular podcast, that he has already been discussing the idea with restaurant owners. He didn’t say whether they are on board. He also did not discuss if increasing people's dinner costs would decrease restaurant visits. Johnston has incurred the ire of some local restauranteurs, who this month penned a letter...

A woman in Colorado has been arrested after police caught her with explosives at a Tesla dealership, police said. The 40-year-old suspect, Lucy Grace Nelson, was arrested on Monday after the Loveland Police Department launched an "extensive investigation" on Jan. 29 following a series of vandalizations with incendiary devices at the Tesla Dealership in Loveland, Colorado, according to a statement from the police released on Wednesday.

In an angry letter addressed last week to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, disgraced Fulton County DA Fani Willis wailed about the congressional committee purportedly "bully[ing]" her by investigating the affairs of her office. She suggested that he should be celebrating Black History Month instead. "Rather than honor and uphold the oath you took, you have chosen to expend your time attempting to bully me, which is a complete waste of your time," Willis wrote, according to a copy of the correspondence obtained by The New York Times. "Might I suggest that instead of attempting...

Democratic strategist James Carville suggested the Trump administration will “collapse” within 30 days as the public reacts to the sweeping actions from the executive branch. “I believe that this administration, in less than 30 days is in the midst of a massive collapse and particularly a collapse in public opinion,” Carville said during a conversation with Mediaite’s Dan Abrams about the Trump administration’s unprecedented recent actions. Abrams asked Carville to clarify what he meant to confirm that Carville believes the administration will crumble shortly. “It’s collapsing right now. We’re in the midst of a collapse,” Carville replied. “This is the...

President Donald Trump demanded MSNBC pay restitution for 'damaging' the nation and branded host Joy Reid a 'mentally obnoxious racist' after learning her show had been canceled. The move to fire Reid was announced on Sunday, prompting Trump to lash out at the liberal network amid a months-long ratings dip that led to a frantic staff realignment in a desperate attempt to stay relevant. The embattled network faced its lowest-rated January in history in the highly sought-after 25-54 demographic, which is of great importance to advertisers due to the group's spending power. Trump began his broadside of MSNBC by referring...

A woman from New Jersey was killed by a hippo while on an African safari with her husband who now alleges the tour operator failed to keeping her safe. Lisa Manders, 70, was gruesomely attacked by the hippo last year in Zambia on the trip while her husband, Craig, horrified husband watched on. The mother-of-three suffered 'catastrophic injuries' and died moments after the attack, according to the lawsuit. 'Had we understood the dangers posed by the hippopotamus, we never would have agreed to be in such close contact while on foot,' Craig said in a statement from his attorneys, Paul...

@elonmusk To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following: - Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible. - All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING! - The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities...

A federal judge has blocked Donald Trump’s administration from forcing three incarcerated transgender women into men’s prisons and taking away their gender-affirming healthcare. The order on Tuesday from Washington, D.C. District Judge Royce Lambert – who was appointed by Ronald Reagan – temporarily strikes down part of Trump’s sweeping executive order on gender as a likely violation of the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment, landing yet another court-ordered blow to his agenda. A pair of lawsuits filed by incarcerated trans women have accused the president of endangering their lives while stripping them of their healthcare through an...
