Back in November, #Tesla was at its all time high. Since then, the NASDAQ has dropped 2%, but Tesla has plunged 64%. And now, Elon has announced layoffs of over 6,000 people.

It turns out that Ron DeSantis' "Marthas Vineyard" stunt, which triggered a wave of Republican governors busing people they deemed illegal to Blue cities and states, has had the opposite effect of what was intended. In many cases, the people showed hospitality and gave the immigrants good situations. In others, the immigrants are now legal because if you're a victim of an illegal action, you can apply for asylum based on that. #Immigration #Florida https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/4/22/2236630/-DeSantis-s-Martha-s-Vineyard-Stunt-Allows-Undocumented-Immigrants-to-Legally-Stay-in-US?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web

It turns out that Israel's strike on #Iran was more damaging than initially thought. A single strike took out an S-300 air defense system. The implication was that Iran's nuclear research facilities would be next. The S-300 has been touted for years as one of the most effective air defense systems in the world. This strike casts that into doubt. This will mean more Russian stuff blowing up in #Ukraine. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/4/21/2236550/-Destruction-of-Russian-made-Air-Defense-System-Could-Have-Implications-for-Two-Wars?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web
