Waymo robotaxis stall during a San Francisco power outage, sparking questions about disaster readiness and public policy.

Next: new Epstein file material, what appears credible, what appears forged, and how political actors weaponize selective transparency. Finally, TJ asks why self-described conservatives do not reject Donald Trump, given deficits, tariffs, government power, and personal conduct. Plus, the Question of the Day on leadership body language and executive presence.
