Shutdown; President Trump needs to issue an executive order, even if it's clearly "illegal," mandating that the "government not shut down." And then let the Democrats sue to shut down the government. LOL. They sue him for everything else; might as well push the envelope.

GM EVs: link here. Lobbying against EVs.
The Detroit-based automaker this year has spent more to lobby the federal government than any company other than Meta, using much of the money going to fight clean-air and fuel-economy rules. GM’s $11.5 million in reported spending through June is nearly double Toyota’s tally and roughly six times that of Ford’s.
One GM lobbyist called the office of Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) earlier this year to support his efforts to weaken 50-year-old federal fuel-economy rules that over the years significantly reduced fuel consumption and emissions, as well as helped birth such cars as Toyota’s Prius.
Congress added Cruz’s measure to the Big Beautiful Bill, eliminating fines for automakers, including GM, whose fleets fall short of Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards.
