So in September ICE & CBP took a Georgia factory staff from South Korea into custody.

More than 300 South Korean nationals detained by federal agents in a massive immigration raid last week on a Hyundai plant in Georgia for alleged visa violations were released from a detention center early Thursday and boarded a charter flight back to their country.

Last Thursday Ford and SK ON discontinued their electric battery partnership.

Ford and SK On formed BlueOval SK in 2021 to build three battery plants: two in Kentucky and one at Ford’s 6-square-mile manufacturing site in rural West Tennessee. The plants represent a combined $11.4 billion investment.

BlueOval SK reported in September that it had hired 350 employees in Tennessee and 1,450 at its battery plants in Kentucky.

Ford announced a $2 billion investment in August to convert a Kentucky manufacturing plant to build electric vehicles, starting with a mid-sized electric pickup truck slated to launch in 2027.

The administration's hatred of electrification is setting up the US auto industry to repeat the great times of the late 70s and early 80s or worse. It's the most short sighted shoot your own foot national industrial "policy" in US history. The US auto industry is fucked.

Yeah, it's depressing watching the lessons of the past be completely forgotten and know there is a trainwreck coming.

Declassifying weed seems like a very popular move. But will it negate the millions of unpopular things this admin is doing?

Its because of the level of scum that exists in the white house.

"How do we bring back the blacks and the poor? Place a story in the media about weed legalization. People like that vote on those lines. Its not like.we have to follow through on anything. Just need it for the news cycle.
We can loop the headline back in if we need to"

It's political theater; the Republicans will not pass the subsidies into law.

Even if it passed the Senate its a certainly Trump will veto. As a signal about what House Rs think is going to happen next year it's crystal clear. Curious to see how many defections happen in the Senate.

I'm not super confident of that. It's a political disaster that mostly affects their own constituents. They have a pretty strong electoral incentive to do this and while they might not care about actual people they do care about keeping their seats.

It might be stopped by Trump or the Senate but as far as the House goes I'm not sure why someone would buck leadership to vote for a discharge petition only to turn around and vote it down. Seems like if you didn't want it to pass you just keep your head down and let Johnson block it.

At my previous job they were big into displaying org charts all over the place.

When no one was around I would rearrange them and put the biggest idiots at the top of them.. the senior leaders would get pissed so they put them behind a locked window

I bet a staffer could do the same and trump would not notice it. Say flip him and Reagan around. Both have / had memory problems
