3:05pm- Green Energy Costs Automakers 2,450 Jobs: The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes, “Stellantis is showing what the real green-energy transition looks like: On Friday the auto maker announced plans to lay off 2,450 workers in Michigan as it ramps up electric-vehicle production…Car makers are struggling to sell higher-priced cars as consumers pull back after three years of inflation. At the same time, the rich labor agreement that Stellantis, Ford and GM struck last autumn with the United Auto Workers is raising costs. The companies need healthy profits from gas-powered trucks to subsidize their money-losing EV production. Hence Stellantis’s scramble to slash costs. The company last month announced buyouts for salaried workers in the U.S. On Friday it said it will lay off as many as 2,450 production workers in Warren, Mich., where it produces its classic Ram 1500 pickup, as it rolls out a new electric model. Workers can send a thank you card to UAW president Shawn Fain.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/the-real-green-energy-transition-auto-maker-layoffs-stellantis-6fea81f9?mod=opinion_lead_pos2

3:15pm- Copyin Kamala or CopyCat Kamala: During a recent campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris advocated for a new policy which would end taxes on tips. Doesn’t that sound familiar? Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been openly campaigning on a “No Tax On Tips” pledge for months. Also worth noting, Harris was the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act—which expanded the size of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and consequently its ability to crackdown on unpaid tips.

3:40pm- While speaking with Jonathan Karl on ABC’s This Week, Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance said of Kamala Harris’s failed attempt to crackdown on unlawful migration: "We have a wide-open Southern border because our border czar actually set a lot of open border policies."

4:05pm- NIH Violated First Amendment, Deleted “Animal Testing”: Emma Camp of Reason.com writes: “The National Institutes of Health (NIH) violated the First Amendment rights of animal rights activists whose social media comments were deleted by the agency, a federal appeals court ruled last week. The agency had been deleting all comments on its Facebook and Instagram pages that contained certain keywords related to criticism of the agency's use of animal testing. Comments containing words like animal, testing, and cruel were singled out for deletion as part of a broader policy of deleting ‘off-topic’ comments.” You can read the full article here: https://reason.com/2024/08/06/the-nih-deleted-comments-criticizing-animal-testing-a-federal-court-says-that-violates-the-first-amendment/

4:30pm- Biden Had Health Scare Prior to Dropping Out of Race: Managing Editor Noor Ibrahim of The Daily Beast writes: “Officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department rushed to clear roads and secure the perimeter of a hospital that had been placed on standby to treat President Joe Biden for a medical issue last month, according to radio transmission recordings obtained by the Daily Beast. It remains unclear what exactly the undisclosed medical issue was, though the White House announced later that day he had been diagnosed with COVID-19…The radio transmissions were broadcast on July 17, after the president abruptly canceled a speaking engagement on a campaign trip in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he was set to address Hispanic voters at the UnidosUS event.” You can read the full report here:
