Maybe we could suspend their membership removing privileges and voting rights, while Hungary is investigated for compliance of EU regulations on for instance their freedom of speech, courts and democracy.

I would say the problem also was a very high medical bill of $ 200k.

It's as random as arresting the next in line.

She absolutely had a VALID Visa, and the headline is correct. Just because her husband's Visa had expired , doesn't justify locking them both up for 6 weeks.
She was locked up with a valid Visa.
Also the story about the Koreans that were arrested, when they were there preparing workers to work on a factory Hyundai was making, creating thousands of jobs, show that you are in no way safe as a foreigner coming to work in USA. You are actually more vulnerable, as they may disregard that foreigners working there are actually there legally.

Then they will have to travel the other way, which doesn't have the risk of being detained illegally by ICE.
Or meet up in Canada, if they live close to Canada.

Refuse it.
At a very minimum there should be a huge risk compensation for traveling for work to USA right now.
6 weeks detained by ICE is no holiday, the conditions are horrible, and you will more likely than not be denied medical service if you need it.

No it wasn't. Czechoslovakia became Communist through a political coup.

1948 Czechoslovak coup d'état:

This happened because Czechoslovakia was invaded and controlled by an authoritarian regime.

Not true, that is mostly one dictator replacing another. Democracies turning authoritarian is not common since the fascists and Nazis pre WW2.
And Nazism taking over in Germany was a pretty violent affair, and far from merely winning an election.

It's not illegal if there are no consequences.

They should be SLAMMED for using that term.

EU should suspend Hungarian membership, and put it under review. It's insane that EU has given Hungary all these privileges, and all they do is use them to sabotage EU.

Which was the purpose of Elon Musk buying it all along.
The algorithms are fucking designed specifically for that purpose!

 

Across its full range, Tesla sold just 83 vehicles in total in January 2026, marking an 88 percent decline compared to the same period last year.

With little innovation and lacking new models, Tesla has decided to cut prices again, this time the price of the model 3 is cut by 10%.

This may be to regain some of the lost marketshare. But it may also be because they simply have too much stock.
Cutting production is expensive, and obviously producing just to stockpile unsold products is expensive too.

I have no doubt that this price cut is an act of desperation, not a result of being competitive. Tesla is losing money no matter if they cut production or they cut the prices or they stock up on unsold product.

Whichever is the case, I had a good laugh that the Swasticars are so hard to sell Tesla has to cut prices yet again, and that's despite inflation.

Allegedly the profitability on a Tesla car was recently estimated at just 2%, so cutting the price by 10% is going to hurt for them.

Here's a link to a story about it by a major news outlet in Denmark:

Anton Gerashchenko on Bluesky story about a strike at a nuclear plant with documentation:

The post contains video from the situation.

As I've been posting many times before, many workers in Russia are behind on payments. People working in factories being 3 months behind is not uncommon.
Anna from Ukraine explains the situation here. She is a good source IMO, because her English is excellent, and being Ukrainian she understands Russian, and makes frequent news updates about the Ukrainian war from various perspectives.

Inside Russia on youtube was first to report on the Russian population beginning to have had enough to a degree they are actually beginning to complain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoR5_bJywWQ

I've claimed before I don't think Putin will last through the winter, and I see this as the first signs that the Russian people is about to have had enough.
The story reported by Anna and Gerashchenko tells that the workers are at least 2 months behind on wages, they were promised transportation to work, something that is important because of the lack of fuel, and public transport becoming unreliable. But they do not get the promised transportation. They were also promised 1 hot meal per day, but do not receive that either.
Finally in their homes, they are out of water and heat.

This is the economic and infrastructure collapse many have predicted was inevitable, that is now beginning to really show. And it isn't even really winter yet!

PS: The moderators removed my previous post with false accusations, so here it is posted again according to their demands.

FDM warns of errors in several models from Tesla, and FDM has now been successful by the Danish Road Safety Authority. FDM has previously described that there are several cases of significant veil in the rear suspension and in the steering column of the popular Model 3.

The Danish Road Safety Authority has stated that the motorists' interest organization, FDM, rightly did not approve two Tesla Model 3 by sight after the car owners had independently complained about the demand for omsyn.

FDM said in a statement.

In both cases, the sight results were due to "too much veil in bushings in rear-wheel suspension".

However, Tesla found no faults and thought the electric cars should have been approved, which led to complaints and the Traffic Agency's review. Many Teslas have "veil in the bushing"

The agency concludes that the cars had a significant veil and that the vision had been carried out correctly in both cases.

Earlier in the year, the FDM warned that there are many Teslas that have veils in bushings in the rear-wheel suspension and in the steering column. See also FDM comes with call for Tesla owners

Veils in rear suspensions mean that there is a looseness or abnormal movement in the parts that connect the car's rear wheel to the car itself.

This applies to both the Model 3 and Model Y. According to FDM, around 37,000 Model 3 and more than 40,000 Model Y have been registered in Denmark. The error is seen on newer cars

Usually you first see the problem on older cars, which have driven many kilometers, but FDM has seen several models with the error early in the life expectancy of the cars.

It creates doubts about the safety of cars, writes FDM, who has contacted Tesla to get the company to solve the problems. See also Tesla gets fined for flawed marketing

"We expect Tesla to help drivers, as it is not fair that the consumer has an additional cost of repair and possibly overhaul, because the car has a fault it shouldn't have," said Lone Otto, area manager in FDM's technical advice.

At the beginning of the year, FDM said that almost one in four Model 3 from the year 2020, which last year was for inspection, failed - among other things because of veils.

For other electric cars, the dump percentage was nine.
