Make it make sense: Liberals torch EVs to fight Trump and Musk

The left's hatred of President Donald Trump and his government cost-cutting helper Tesla CEO Elon Musk has driven some people completely nuts.

Trump stood up for women's sports. This former Democrat stood with him.

Jennifer Sey, former national gymnastics champion and Levi's exec, has become a fierce advocate for keeping women's athletics spaces for women only.

Supporters of detained Mahmoud Khalil march in downtown New York City on March 11, 2025, to demand his release from immigration custody. Khalil, who helped lead last year's pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, holds a green card and is a permanent U.S. resident but has been detained by the federal government.
 

Mahmoud Khalil is brave and gentle. Trump's abuse of power is terrifying.

If we allow the Trump administration to violate Khalil's First Amendment rights by threatening him with deportation, they will violate ours, too.

Hundreds turn out outside of a New York City court on March 12, 2025, to protest the arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist at Columbia University. Over the weekend, federal immigration agents detained Khalil at his university-owned apartment while returning home with his wife, an American citizen who is pregnant. Officials have not charged Khalil with a crime; he's being held in Louisiana.
