President-elect Donald Trump has once again suggested he wants to revert the name of North America’s tallest mountain — Alaska’s Denali — to Mount McKinley, wading into a sensitive and decades-old conflict about what the peak should be called.

Summary

Luigi Mangione’s lawyer accused New York Mayor Eric Adams of politicizing Mangione’s arrest for the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Adams attended Mangione’s perp walk, calling it symbolic, but Mangione’s attorney claimed the spectacle aimed to distract from Adams’ own federal corruption charges.

Mangione, arrested in Pennsylvania, faces first-degree murder charges in Manhattan tied to terrorism, as well as federal charges potentially carrying the death penalty.

His lawyer emphasized the presumption of innocence during his Monday court appearance. Trial dates for both cases have yet to be set.

Summary

Tesla lobbies for stricter EV incentives in the UK, including higher taxes on fossil fuel vehicles, while opposing EV subsidies in the U.S. due to Elon Musk’s political support for Donald Trump.

Tesla previously supported federal EV incentives, but Musk’s political stance has since shifted, prioritizing his anti-“woke” agenda.

Critics argue this approach undermines Tesla’s mission to advance sustainable transportation.

The contrast between Tesla’s lobbying strategies in the U.S. and UK highlights a tension between the company’s goals and Musk’s personal politics.

The president-elect is renewing unsuccessful calls he made during his first term for the U.S. to buy Greenland from Denmark, adding to the list of allied countries with which he’s picking fights even before taking office on Jan. 20.

Sigh... What a complete moron.

The House Ethics Committee is expected to accuse former Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s former pick for attorney general, of regularly paying for sex, possessing illegal drugs and having sexual relations with an underage girl, according to a draft of the panel’s report.

I call bullshit because they are the least political savvy and lack a spine.

From the report: “The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress.”

More: “The record overwhelmingly suggests that Representative Gaetz had sex with multiple women at a 2017 Florida party, including the then-17-year-old, for which they were paid… Victim A recalled receiving $400 in cash from Representative Gaetz that evening, which she understood to be payment for sex. At the time, she had just completed her junior year of high school. Victim A said that she did not inform Representative Gaetz that she was under 18 at the time, nor did he ask her age.”

If you are so sad, you have to name a mountain back to a president whose biggest achievement was tariffs:

(which were not well received, btw).

Joe Biden must commute the sentence of Charles Littlejohn, the IRS whistleblower who leaked Donald Trump’s tax records, before Trump can get revenge
