Look directly at Ro Khanna's own X account after Tuesday night.
He didn't post a bill to lower grocery prices.
He posted three words:
"DEI is back." 🤡
Read those three words until they burn into your memory.
Democrats didn't take Congress to help working fathers buy steak or pay the electric bill.
They took Congress to bring back woke quotas, gender lectures, and anti-meritocracy madness.
They lied to get your vote, and laughed in your face the next morning. 🔥
If Putin wanted you dead, how far would you go to provoke him? It is quite reasonable that StarLink should insist on strict adherence to the terms and conditions. Ukraine is lucky he didn’t just shut them down for hacking the terminals and ditching on proper payment. If they want to use it for offensive action, use and pay for StarShield.

Ukraine has always used only civilian Starlink services: the basic plan ($100), the commercial in-motion plan ($400), and the priority command-post plan ($2,000–4,000). Aviation plans cost up to $1K, $20K, or $100K+, but they are unavailable in Ukraine.
Under heavy demand, the network became overloaded. SpaceX had to keep prices high for the military to build excess ground-station capacity around Ukraine and minimise signal latency. These are the very sites with antenna domes that recently began to be set on fire in attacks allegedly ordered through the dark web.
The main problem Ukrainian forces faced at the front was Russian electronic warfare (EW). GPS signal jamming caused civilian Starlink chips to freeze, while spoofed location data could trigger terminal lockouts.
The solution was a GPS hack board. Engineers soldered it inside the terminal to manually set the desired coordinates. These boards also made it possible to bypass Musk’s geographic restrictions.
For a long time, Starlink did not work in the grey zone under Russian control. But entering the coordinates of a neighbouring Ukrainian region restored the connection. Russian forces also exploited this loophole until Starlink introduced exclusive whitelists for the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) only.
By 2025, Musk began tightening restrictions and reducing speed limits for commercial plans. But Ukrainian military engineers discovered a loophole: technically, the satellite-terminal communication session was not rigidly tied to GPS. The protection existed only within the terminal module itself.
If the terminal was made to believe through the hack board that it was stationary, it would send its own radio request to the satellite and receive the necessary session data. There are now around 10,000 satellites, and the signal could be picked up even with a separation of more than 150 km. The drone could fly over Russian territory while Starlink’s servers believed it was stationary.
This was a major Ukrainian secret. Before being sent to the front, the casings of new Starlink terminals were routinely opened to install GPS hacks and sturdy, waterproof connectors. This allowed drones to fly at high speeds while using an ordinary subscription.
In early 2026, Musk reduced the commercial plan’s speed limit to 160 km/h worldwide. That is slower than many basic UAVs can fly with a tailwind. But because GPS hack boards were so widely used in Ukraine, nobody noticed. The terminals reported that they were supposedly stationary.
IN LATE 2026, SPACEX RESPONDED HARSHLY. A server-side check was introduced: if a terminal’s GPS indicated that it was stationary but it switched between satellites too quickly—revealing an actual speed above 160 km/h—the server would immediately terminate the connection.
The GPS hack stopped working. Ukrainian forces began experiencing problems with long-range UAVs. Flights now have to be planned carefully to avoid exceeding the 160 km/h limit. Funding for aviation plans is not always available, and SpaceX does not sell them for what it considers offensive uses.
Against this backdrop, Zelensky is trying to obtain unrestricted access to Starshield—the US military version of Starlink—to enable flights over Russia. But Trump, Musk and the Pentagon are refusing him. Ukraine has portrayed the restrictions as a political blockade while omitting the fact that the Starlink speed limit has reportedly been in place for almost a year.
A behind-the-scenes back-and-forth is now underway: Musk says he has not changed anything in recent days, while Rubio states that Starshield is unavailable to Ukraine. The result: Starlink is gradually being restricted to vehicle-based and stationary use. The workaround no longer works.
Whether the speed check has been disabled or access to specialised aviation plans has been granted remains unclear. The outage affected a narrow segment of drones...

If anyone believes this nonsense, here are the facts he is counting on you not knowing.
The deal did not end Iran's nuclear program. It rented a pause. Iran kept its centrifuges, kept Fordow buried in a mountain, kept enriching to 3.67%, and the key restrictions came with expiration dates. The sunset clauses began lifting in 2025. Obama's own answer at the time was that breakout time "would have shrunk almost down to zero" as the deal expired. His deal scheduled the problem for his successors.
The regime lied its way into the deal. The JCPOA was premised on Iran coming clean about past weapons work. In 2018 Israel pulled Iran's own nuclear archive out of a Tehran warehouse: tens of thousands of documents on the Amad Project, a crash program to build nuclear weapons, preserved and hidden while Iran certified it had no such program. The IAEA later found uranium traces at undeclared sites Iran never explained.
The deal paid for terror. Sanctions relief unfroze roughly $100 billion and the US delivered $1.7 billion in cash. That money flowed to the IRGC, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. Diplomacy with a regime at war with you is financing, not peace.
And the result? By 2025 Iran was enriching to 60%, a short technical step from weapons grade, with enough material for multiple bombs and the IAEA declaring it in violation of its obligations. That is what required military force this year. Iran marched to the threshold under the deal's cover and after it.
"I didn't have to fire a missile" is true. He handed the regime money, legitimacy, and a timetable, and left the missiles to be fired a decade later by someone else. Appeasing a dictatorship doesn't buy peace. It buys the dictatorship time.

Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.
I remain a strong supporter of Ukraine, but its deceptive campaign against Musk has convinced me that they aren’t to be trusted. It ends the idealism that was the foundation of the war. Now it is just politics. Trade Donbass for peace and be done with it.
Musk took great personal risk in supporting Ukraine. Russia could have decided to kill Musk. Do you think Biden would have done anything about it? No way. It is essential for Musk’s personal safety that Starlink not be used offensively against Russia. Starshield is for that and any attack on it is an attack on the US. That protects Musk from murder.
Ukraine hacking Starlink to conduct offensive actions against Russia is practically a physical threat against Musk. They know that, but spoke against him anyway. They should apologize and hope Musk doesn’t calculate that their lack of integrity should lead to disconnect and force them to only rely on Starshield.

Listen to every word
“I voted. I was standing in that voting booth thinking about high gas prices, expensive groceries, housing costs and the financial pressure on working families. Then my mind went to France, to Dearborn, Michigan and I realized this election is about far more than gas and groceries.
It's about our future, radical Islam, national security, illegal immigration, our borders, education, parental rights, sex and gender policies, and the values our children inherit.
I couldn't see myself voting for a party that hates America, apologizes for our country, is ashamed of our flag, and wants to rewrite our history and abandon our values.
So I voted red, not because Republicans get everything right, always do right by everyday Americans, or are free from corruption, but because I believe we can only fix this country if we still have a country left to fix”
I could not have said it better myself. Voting Blue is literally voting to end America and for the eventual Islamic takeover of America. Voting Democrat means being wiped out by illegals, having our elections permanently rigged, our culture replaced and never having a way out
Everyone needs to vote Red like your life depends on it because it does

Philosopher and author Maarten Boudry posted a powerful monologue on X about the riots in Europe: “Before long, we will all know what it feels like to be Jewish. Soon, we will all know what it feels like to be Jewish. In France, they already know. This will be the punishment we deserve for abandoning the Jews, ignoring their warnings, turning against them, and even marching alongside their oppressors.”
“For three years, you useful idiots have marched with Palestinian flags, worn keffiyehs, screamed ‘From the river to the sea,’ and recognized a fictitious Palestinian state as a reward for Hamas’s October 7 massacre (yes, I’m looking at you, Emmanuel Macron). You boycotted the world’s only Jewish state, demonized the Jewish people’s right to self-determination (known as ‘Zionism’), and spread the blood libel of ‘genocide in Gaza.’”
“Did you think that if you fed the crocodile enough Jewish flesh, it would eventually be satisfied? All you did was strengthen the monster and whet its appetite even more.”
“So you were worried about ‘colonialism’? Look around. The only things suffering from colonialism here are our Western cities. The Palestinian flag has become a flag of victory, proudly flown among the ruins of historic buildings that have been looted and vandalized, a symbol of hatred toward our culture and everything it represents. It never ends with the Jews...”

Popular Mechanics is not a serious magazine, but I got a subscription for my 10-year-old twin boys who like engineering. This was their first issue. A hit piece on @elonmusk. Can’t believe that? Total misinformation and incorrect technical information on data centers in general and Colossus 1 and 2 in particular. I read it. You don’t need to bother. I cancelled my subscription.
@grok, how have the local communities around Colossus 1 and 2 benefited from having those data centers?
This is precisely why there must be an Israel. This is why anything done to preserve Israel is justified.

French journalist Paul Amar:
“They came prepared. They had the addresses of town halls. They had addresses of Jewish shop owners.
In a street in Marseille, all businesses owned by Jews were set on fire. Businesses run by Muslims weren’t”
The UN is a terrorist organization.

Watch: IDF spokesman tells the UN to shove it: "Your terrorist employees are not immune"
Following the elimination of UN employee, Mohammad Abu-Itiwi, in Gaza, the IDF held this press conference and exposed the U.N. agency in Gaza (UNRWA).
Western countries must cut all their foreign aid to both UNRWA and the UN!
Instead of promoting peace, the UN promotes terror and wars by allowing Hamas terrorists to exploit UNRWA resources in Gaza.
PLEASE RETWEET - Don’t let your tax money fund terrorism by corrupt UN agencies!

🔥🚨 JAW-DROPPING BETRAYAL! 🚨🔥
Hakeem Jeffries was asked POINT-BLANK if a Democrat-controlled House would BRING BACK the illegal aliens Trump already deported to third countries (like Africa):
Reporter: “Will the Congress under your leadership bring back the [illegal aliens] deported to third countries?”
Jeffries NODS YES repeatedly 👀 and says: “We do.”
Then drops this bombshell:
“Trump’s mass deportation machine does NOT get a DIME.”
Translation? Hand Democrats the gavel in November and they’ll DEFUND ICE, halt deportations, and try to REVERSE the ones already done — flying people BACK into America on YOUR dime while families struggle with groceries, rent, and crime.
This is the plan. Out loud. No hiding it.
If they take the House, this is what “repair work” looks like to them.
VOTE. SHARE THIS. Don’t let them undo the border security Americans demanded. 🇺🇸

Please grow a backbone, France. You have the provocation. Rise up and take back your country! Show the world this is not May 1940. You have a beautiful country. Defend it. Point the way for the rest of the West.
