Protests unfolded outside of Tesla showrooms across the country this weekend over Elon Musk's role helping lead President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, sparking questions to fly as to who is funding the purported "grassroots" demonstrations.

"Who is funding and organizing all these paid protests?" Musk posted to X early Sunday morning, accompanied by a video clip of podcast host Joe Rogan discussing left-wing protests in recent days.

A "Tesla Takedown" movement formed in recent days, with more than 200 protests planned on Saturday in the U.S., and another few hundred planned protests in Canada and Europe as part of the "global day of action." In the U.S. the protests slated for Saturday were promoted by actors, filmmakers, congressional legislators, academics and activists who led a "mass mobilizing call" last week to rally support, and described in the media as a "grassroots" effort to buck Musk and Trump, while working to tank Tesla's stock.

Judge dismisses NYC Mayor Eric Adams indictment with prejudice

Judge Dale Ho issued opinion on Wednesday

A judge on Wednesday dismissed the corruption indictment against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

U.S. District Judge Dale E. Ho of the Southern District of New York dismissed the case against Adams with prejudice, meaning it can't be brought back again.

The Biden Justice Department alleged that Adams inappropriately used his position as mayor to solicit illegal campaign contributions and luxury travel from foreign nationals from Turkey, businessmen and others.

The DOJ, now under President Donald Trump, urged the judge to drop the case, but Ho said last month he would take time to consider the motion.

Comment: Eric Adams initially supported lax immigration, sanctuary city policies and the covid madness. Reality bit him hard. Then he suffered from trying to buck those policies. In January, Tucker gave Adams a chance to have his say:

Virginia Giuffre, the most prominent victim of Jeffrey Epstein who accused some of the world's most powerful men of sex trafficking, says she has just days left to live after being hit by a bus.

The mother-of-three, 41, shared a battered picture of herself from a hospital bed covered in bruises.

She said she was suffering from kidney failure after a bus crashed into her vehicle.

"This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won't bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving [60 mph] as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can," she wrote in the post on Sunday.

French President Emmanuel Macron recently announced €2 billion more in arms for Kiev.

Thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets of Paris on Saturday, protesting French President Emmanuel Macron's and NATO's militaristic approach to the Ukraine conflict.

On Wednesday, Macron announced a new €2 billion ($2.16 billion) military aid package for Ukraine, after weeks of attempting to drum up support for his initiative to send Western troops as peacekeepers to the country. The new arms will include surface-to-air missiles, armored vehicles and drones, the French leader said.

Saturday's anti-war rally was organized by former right-wing National Rally politician Florian Philippot and his party, The Patriots.

Thousands of protesters could be seen marching through the French capital, chanting slogans such as "Macron, we don't want your war!" and "Let's quickly leave NATO!" in video captured by RT.

The parents of a nine-year-old girl have said they were held at a police station for 11 hours because they complained about their daughter's primary school.

Maxie Allen and his partner, Rosalind Levine, said they were arrested and detained on suspicion of harassment, malicious communications and causing a nuisance on school property.

The couple said they had previously been banned from entering Cowley Hill primary school in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire after criticising the school's headteacher and leadership in a parents' WhatsApp group, according to the Times.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is pushing for major changes to school meals and federal food assistance programs, backing efforts to eliminate synthetic food dyes linked to health concerns.

In West Virginia, Gov. Patrick Morrisey is leading a new initiative to ban artificial food dyes from school meals, making his state one of the first to take such action.

"Kids deserve better. And now they're going to get it," Morrisey said.

Kennedy joined Morrisey on Friday in supporting the measure, which targets additives such as Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1, commonly found in processed foods.

"Food is medicine. It treats us in different ways, and it treats our health," Kennedy said.

The move is part of a broader effort by HHS to encourage states to remove artificial additives from school meals. Kennedy cited studies linking synthetic dyes to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and certain cancers.

Comment: 'Restricting food options could drive up costs and limit choices for families' - or - they will be paying for medical bills, prescriptions...and food.

'Damning Conduct': FBI Agents Stationed In Asia Paid For Sex From Prostitutes Over Several Years

me love you long time
FBI agents stationed overseas engaged in sex with prostitutes in Cambodia, the Philippines, and Thailand — sometimes while colleagues attended anti-human trafficking training, the New York Times reported.

The "damning conduct", which occurred between 2009 and 2018, involved agents paying for or accepting sex while socializing with each other and local police, revealing a culture where women were routinely exploited.

The report, made public after a New York Times lawsuit, offers the most detailed account yet of a scandal kept largely under wraps since the early Trump years. It surfaces as new FBI Director Kash Patel vows to overhaul the agency.

Prostitution is widespread but illegal in Cambodia, the Philippines, and Thailand — countries where FBI agents engaged in misconduct, despite the bureau's ban on paying for sex and its stated focus on fighting human trafficking.

Utah bans Pride Flags from government buildings and schools: Pursues 'political neutrality'

Utah became the first state to prohibit flying LGBTQ+pride flags at schools and all government buildings after the Republican governor announced he was allowing a ban on unsanctioned flag displays to become law without his signature.

Gov. Spencer Cox, who made the announcement late Thursday night, said he continues to have serious concerns with the policy but chose not to reject it because his veto would likely be overridden by the Republican-controlled Legislature.

Starting May 7, state or local government buildings will be fined $500 a day for flying any flag other than the United States flag, the Utah state flag, military flags or a short list of others approved by lawmakers. Political flags supporting a certain candidate or party, such as President Donald Trump's signature "Make America Great Again" flags, are not allowed.

Maine has thumbed its nose at Trump's executive order to keep trans athletes out of girls' and women's sports

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) on Friday said it referred Maine's "noncompliance" with Title IX rules to the Justice Department for enforcement.

Maine has continued to defy President Donald Trump's executive order to ban trans athletes from women's and girls' sports. The HHS gave the state 10 days to correct its policies through a signed agreement or risk referral to the Justice Department.

"Today, OCR referred Maine's noncompliance with Title IX to @TheJusticeDept for enforcement in court for continuing to unlawfully allow males to compete against females," the department announced in a post on X.

"HHS will continue to protect women's sports and keep the promises of Title IX for America's women and girls."
