    I told you that the SCOTUS’s ban on national injunctions would supersize Trump’s lawlessness.

    Well, it’s starting.

    ICE interrogate kids at youth baseball practice—threatens to arrest coach when he defends them.

    Every kid on team is U.S. citizen.

    “Agent said if kids are here legally, what do they have to lose,” coach explained.

    “I told them they still have their 5th & 4th Amendment rights.”

    Youman Wilder has not only coached baseball on Manhattan’s West Side for 20 years—he also has a law degree.

    He has since changed the practice schedule as a precaution to make kids feel safe—but all except 2 players have still been too afraid to come back out to the batting cages.

    Hmmmmmmm

    Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting is officially on the books for November 6 — four months past a legal deadline. According to Texas law (where Tesla is incorporated), public companies must hold shareholder meetings within 13 months of the last one. Tesla’s 2024 meeting? June. This year’s deadline? July 13. The company’s response? A midweek SEC filing that might raise more questions than it answers.

    The late notice came just one day after a coalition of 27 state officials and institutional investors — managing over $1.5 trillion in assets — issued a pointed letter demanding a date. Tesla, in turn, delivered one… barely. But while the filing may temporarily calm regulators and shareholders, it’s still unclear if this 11th-hour announcement satisfies Texas law. Tesla offered no explanation for the delay, no written shareholder consent on record.
