Imagine your 2026 car shutting off mid-drive because it thinks you’re drunk or otherwise impaired. That’s real! And you can find it in Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act — a mandate still alive despite fierce pushback, set to raise car prices and spark debate. Proponents of the so-called "kill switch" say they just want to make the roads safer. But at what cost? Consider the possibility of misreadings and technical errors.

Here’s a deep dive into the auto world’s latest shake-up. President Trump just slapped a 25% tariff on imported vehicles and parts — and he’s telling U.S. automakers not to raise prices. The president said he “couldn’t care less” if foreign automakers raised prices in response to planned tariffs, reasoning that buyers would choose U.S.-made cars over foreign brands.

Return to sender. That's the message two Republican lawmakers have regarding the Biden's administration's $3 billon contract for 55,000 electric postal trucks. 'I am defunding this billion-dollar boondoggle to stamp out waste in Washington. Tax dollars should always be treated with first-class priority.' That's enough to replace a quarter of the USPS fleet.
