This is a good point.
If you followed the Trump administration's jihad against Anthropic over restrictive terms of use for Claude, then you're not going to buy its Ukraine blame-shifting to Musk -- as if Starshield terms of use are none of the administration's business ... nationalreview.com/corner/no…
Big news here.
One of the earliest goals the Trump administration set for the Iran war was neutralizing the threat of its proxies.
Now the US is evacuating staff in a nearby country because one of those proxies is such a threat.

Let me reassure you, this is not schtick and this is not some PR ploy. This is 100% authentic Todd Young. Anyone else who has worked for him will confirm the same. It was always a required stop after a long day of district visits or campaigning, and he always knew where the closest one was.

I’ve kept my mouth shut for a long time about #meangirl @megynkelly. She used to be one of my closest friends and then she ghosted me after she endorsed @andrewcuomo for mayor and I told her she broke my heart. Her comments about @1capplegate are disgusting. Having #MS for over 20 years, she knows how long it took for doctors to diagnose me. I think Christina is brave for telling the truth and I’m grateful she became a voice for so many of us. I will have much more to say about this when I’m well enough. I’ve been sick for several weeks in and out of the hospital but when I’m well enough I will comment more. realitytea.com/2026/10/21/me…

Trump: "I alone could secure a prisoner release from Russia without giving anything in return"
Trump literally ten minutes later: "Now you idiots know why I had to waive sanctions on Russia, no shot I got that prisoner release otherwise"

Texas Senator @JohnCornyn was asked on @CNBC about the throttling of @Starlink in the war between Russian and Ukraine, and he did not hold back!
This is similar to Vance's quite-Machiavellian comments about falsely claiming Haitians ate pets in 2024:
"If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.”

Neil Bush, brother of one President Bush & son of another President Bush, just posted that he voted for @JamesTalarico. Neil still lives in the same neighborhood as father did for decades here in Houston.
