🚨 GOVERNOR GINA HINOJOSA GIVES ELON MUSK UNTIL DECEMBER TO PAY ALL OUTSTANDING TAXES OWED IN TEXAS OR FACE SERIOUS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES. Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has reportedly issued a December deadline to Elon Musk, demanding that Tesla and his other companies operating in Texas fully comply with applicable state tax obligations or face potential legal and regulatory action. The development could open another major political confrontation between the Democrats and Republicans, particularly as Donald Trump and several Republican allies have maintained close political ties with Elon Musk. Hinojosa, a Democrat, is making it clear that her incoming administration will not give special treatment to billionaires or major corporations. She reportedly wants Tesla and other Musk-owned businesses to meet their tax responsibilities rather than benefit from political connections. The situation could further intensify the growing divide between Democrats and Republicans, with Trump’s relationship with Musk potentially becoming another talking point in the battle over corporate taxation, economic policy and political influence in Texas. The controversy also raises questions about the future of Tesla’s operations in Texas, considering the company’s significant manufacturing presence in the state. Any proposed changes to corporate taxation could have implications for Tesla’s business plans, investment decisions and relationship with the incoming Democratic administration. Meanwhile, Republicans close to Donald Trump could find themselves under pressure to respond, especially given Musk’s public support for Trump and his involvement in Republican political circles. Democrats, on the other hand, could use the controversy to reignite discussions about billionaire wealth, corporate accountability and whether major companies should receive preferential treatment. With December approaching, all eyes would be on Elon Musk, Tesla, Donald Trump and the Republican leadership to see how they respond to the proposed ultimatum.

I just want to remind everyone that trump and Republicans tried to: - block mail-in ballots - invalidate legit ballots - intimidate voters with ICE - spread misinformation - gerrymander everything And they STILL LOST. Got their asses kicked. Historic landslide. And I am happy to remind those cheating fuckers DAILY.

We obviously learned this week , that though Elon Musk has a lot of money , he’s not that smart , blinded by his own arrogance.

I agree, he doesn't look well. YET, we are told that ALL we can do is vote, which we just did. This guy is totally above the law. His ass should be, at minimum impeached. Dems don't have the balls.
Maybe I'm tripping but Dear Leader doesn't look good and healthy in this photo🤔. Is he sick? It was shot yesterday by a Reuters photographer.

BASH: “You have signaled you intend to investigate the 'Trump crime family.' How far does that go? Do you want to include Don Jr and Jared Kushner?” GARCIA: “This is the most corrupt family to ever be in the White House.” BASH: “So yes?” GARCIA: “Absolutely. They should be expected to answer questions.”

The Trump administration voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit against California Friday, abandoning its effort to force election officials to set aside thousands of mail ballots cast by voters it suspected of being noncitizens. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

My heart honestly shattered. My son and I worked on this little woodland scene for like a whole week, every evening after school, when he was already half-asleep but still wouldn’t stop until he got the moss just right or found the perfect spot for the owl. He came up with the whole idea himself. Said, “Dad, it’s like a secret home inside the forest.” He sculpted the hedgehog, placed the tiny pinecones, carved that little log with his hands (well, mostly supervised, but still). He poured everything into it. And then he came home, eyes red, holding his piece like it was broken glass. “I spent a lot of time sculpting, but no one appreciated it,” he said. The other kids laughed. Even the teacher didn’t say a word. Just moved on. I wanted to march into that school and tell them all, LOOK. LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS ART. But instead, I just hugged him and said, “You know what? Let’s show it to people who do appreciate creativity.” So we posted it in my little craft store on the Tedooo app, I’ve been selling there for a bit, but this was his first piece. And you wouldn’t believe what happened. People started commenting. Encouraging. One guy from Oregon asked if my son does commissions. Another from the UK said it reminded them of their childhood forest. I didn’t let him sell it, of course. This one stays with us forever. But now he walks a little taller. Because someone did see the magic. If you’ve got a kid who creates things, protect that spark with everything you've got. This world doesn’t always understand, but there are places, and people, and moments that do.
