GA Senator Jon Ossoff slams Trump’s band of billionaires: ‘They are literally the elites they pretend to hate’

Germany is so over electric car maker Tesla, according to a recent poll, and the company can thank CEO Elon Musk for the cold shoulder.

A new T-Online poll found that of 100,000 Germans, 94 percent said they would not buy a Tesla. Only 3 percent said they'd still consider the purchase.

Earlier this month Forbes reported that German Tesla sales in February dropped by 76 percent. It's not just a coincidence or a fluke of the EV industry — electric vehicle registrations in Germany increased by 32 percent during the same time period that Tesla sales dropped.

While not all of Tesla's woes can be placed in Musk's lap — EV competition has been increasing for years — Musk's political antics certainly haven’t seemed to help his company.

Musk has voiced support for the far-right AfD political party in Germany, even hosting a call with supporters and telling them to "move beyond" their "past guilt." During the call, he told AfD backers that "children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great-grandparents" in an apparent reference to the nation's Nazi past.

A small town in Maine has found itself inadvertently at the mercy of Donald Trump’s ongoing trade war with Canada - and it’s the parking that is suffering.

The town of York initially ordered 17 kiosks from MacKay Meters, a Quebec-based company, but has been forced to reduce the order to 13 due to the 25 percent tariff on Canadian imports threatened by the president. The result of the tariffs is a $20,000 increase in the cost of each kiosk.

Rhian Lubin reports:

Pope Francis will be discharged from hospital on Sunday, one of the doctors treating him has confirmed.

He will need two months of rest at the Vatican and full recovery will take “a lot of time” as he is not fully healed, they added on Saturday.

"The recommendation for a period of convalescence of at least two months is very important," Sergio Alfieri, head of the pope's medical team, told the press conference.

He is also advised against having meetings with large groups of people.

The 88-year-old pontiff was admitted to the hospital on 14 February with a severe respiratory infection that has required evolving treatment.

Police are investigating after former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Jessica Aber, was found dead at her Virginia home on Saturday morning.

At 9:18 a.m on Saturday, police responded to reports of an unresponsive woman and found her deceased, according to a statement from Alexandria Police.

She was later identified as Aber, who was nominated to the U.S. Attorney role in 2021 by former president Joe Biden. Aber was 43 years old.

Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff told a crowd of people in Georgia that the Trump administration is filled with “elites” who “do not care” about average Americans.

“They just do not care. They do not care. Trump’s cabinet is worth like $60 billion, that’s not even including Elon. They are literally the elites they pretend to hate,” Ossoff said.

U.S. military officials are trying to come up with a Donald Trump-requested “Golden Dome” missile defense system that can protect the nation from long-range missile attacks, according to sources who spoke to CNN.

The officials have reportedly been told by the Trump White House that no expense will be spared in the development of the missile defense system.

The name “Golden Dome” is a reference to Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense program.

Trump has reportedly demanded that spending for the dome is included in budget estimates for 2026 to 2030.

Republican Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar is urging Donald Trump to allow Central and South American migrants who entered the country under a “humanitarian parole” during the Biden administration to stay in the U.S. and enjoy the protections they were promised.

Salazar made the comments in a post on X and avoided criticizing Trump’s draconian actions towards migrants by blaming everything on former President Joe Biden and “failed communist regimes.”

On Saturday, Trump announced he was revoking the protections for 530,000 migrants who traveled to the U.S. from Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti, Nicaragua, and other parts of Central and South America.

Salazar’s post, translated from Spanish, appears below:

“Trump is correcting the immigration mess left by Biden. There's no doubt: the legal limbo Cubans, Venezuelans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans face today is a direct consequence of the Biden administration's empty promises. These people fled failed communist regimes hoping to find freedom and opportunity in the United States, only to be betrayed by incoherent and mismanaged policies. The Trump administration should acknowledge this reality and not punish them for Biden's mistakes. Let's give them the opportunity to access the protections they were promised.”

More than 500,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans had their temporary legal status revoked in the latest move by the Donald Trump administration to push his changes on immigration.

Donald Trump accused U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg — the same judge who grounded his migrant deportation flights — of a “conflict of interest” in a post on Truth Social on Saturday evening.

His evidence was a photo from a 2022 mock trial in which Boasberg was pictured standing in a line of people. The man standing next to him in the photo is Doug Emhoff, the husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Emhoff is an attorney.
