Sen. Mark Kelly ditching his Tesla: ‘Built and designed by an a‑‑hole’

Mark KellyArizona Sen. Mark Kelly (D) says he’s looking for a “new ride” and is going to get rid of his Tesla, which he says was “built and designed by an a‑‑hole.”

“I’m here in Washington driving to work for the last time in my Tesla,” Kelly said in a video posted on the social platform X. “When I bought this thing, I didn’t think it was going to become a political issue.

“Every time I get in this car in the last 60 days or so, it reminds me of just how much Elon Musk and Donald Trump is doing to our country. Talking about slashing Social Security, cutting health care benefits for poor people, for seniors. It’s one bad thing after the next,” he said of Musk’s actions as the lead of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Trump condemned for using ‘Palestinian’ as slur to attack Schumer

Trump the fool

Donald Trump has been condemned by a leading US Muslim civil rights group for seeking to use the word “Palestinian” as an insult when he attacked the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, as “not Jewish any more”.

“President Trump’s use of the term ‘Palestinian’ as a racial slur is offensive and beneath the dignity of his office,” said Nihad Awad, the national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or Cair.

“He should apologize to the Palestinian and American people. It is the continuing dehumanization of the Palestinian people that has resulted in horrific hate crimes against Palestinian-Americans, the US-enabled genocide in Gaza, and decades of denial of Palestinian human rights by successive presidential administrations.”

TVNL Comment: Let's see if the members of Congress and other 'leaders' will show outrage at more ugliness by the Donald. Again, just when you think he's hit rock botttom....

Mark Kelly fires back at Musk over ‘traitor’ accusation

Mark KellySen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) hit back at tech billionaire Elon Musk after he called Kelly a “traitor” for visiting Ukraine and demanding the United States stand with Ukrainians in their ongoing war with Russia.

“Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do,” he wrote on the social platform X on Monday in response to Musk’accusation.

“You are a traitor,” Musk had written under a previous X post from Kelly in which the lawmaker had reflected on his trip to Ukraine over the weekend“What I saw proved to me we can’t give up on the Ukrainian people,” Kelly wrote in the post.

“Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin,” he added.

Kelly, a former U.S. Navy combat pilot, toured a military hospital and interacted with Red Cross personnel during his visit to Ukraine. It was his third visit to the country since 2023.

TVNL Comment;  Musk is a moron, plain and simple.

Plan to skewer US sanctuary city mayors backfires on Republicans

Sanctuary mayors upset hearings

A congressional hearing designed to criticize sanctuary city policies unexpectedly shifted on Wednesday, as a planned attack by Republican lawmakers instead dissolved into a platform that amplified Democratic mayors’ arguments about immigration and urban safety.

Before a packed room on Capitol Hill, the House oversight committee, led by its Republican chair, James Comer of Kentucky, sought to portray sanctuary cities – a city that touts municipal laws that protect undocumented migrants – as havens for criminal activity and foreign gangs.

AOC Asks DOJ If She’s Under Investigation For Informing People Of Their Rights

AOCRep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking if she is under federal investigation for informing people of their rights on Thursday. The congresswoman released the letter publicly on Friday.

Ocasio-Cortez’s letter follows public statements by White House border czar Tom Homan that the congresswoman should be investigated for hosting an online “know your rights” seminar to inform the public of their rights when confronted by immigration officers.

“I sent an email today to the deputy attorney general,” Homan said on Fox News on Feb. 13. “At what level is that impediment? Is that impediment? I’m not an attorney; I’m not a prosecutor. Is that impediment? Is that impeding our law enforcement efforts? If so, what are we gonna do about it? Is she crossing the line? So, I’m working with the Department of Justice and finding out. Where is that line that they cross? So, maybe AOC’s gonna be in trouble now.”

It is not known whether Homan actually sent an email to the Justice Department or, if he did, what he asked in it.
