This book is really damning for Kushner. It claims the UAE paid Kushner $50 million to get Rex Tillerson fired as Secretary of State.

Lula’s victory will be greeted with horror in Silicon Valley. Outside the EU, Brazil has been the biggest holders to account of US tech firms. And Facebook’s actions before the election deserve proper scrutiny
Lula victory speech: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

This is like the epigraph for the entire Trump 2.0 presidency: ‘’I don’t give a damn. We’re making a fortune’
TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

Senza cedere altro è letteralmente la posizione ucraina da più di un anno. E significa che la Russia non otterrebbe il controllo completo del Donbass. In redazione lo hanno compreso bene?

It used to be about "NATO expansion" and "nazis". Now it's "they are historical Russian lands" But the past changes so quickly that you can have no idea what will happen yesterday.
Putin: "The lands lost by Ukraine are not their territory, they are Russia’s historical lands."

The Trump administration has signed an oil deal with a Venezuelan energy baron who has faced money-laundering investigations in three countries. ProPublica reviewed a copy of the 18-page agreement. propublica.org/article/trump…

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for. Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China. We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

Putin si è accorto che Trump potrebbe perdere la maggioranza al Congresso. Ha tempo fino a gennaio per usare il suo asset liberamente. Poi diventa più complicato.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed that he, President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet next month to attempt to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine that would favor Moscow, said people familiar with the discussions. on.wsj.com/4BeZLqz

+++ Vincenzo Lorusso, il promotore della petizione contro Sergio Mattarella, ha ottenuto la cittadinanza russa. +++
Intanto Vladimir Putin ha concesso la cittadinanza russa al giornalista Vincenzo Lorusso. Che commenta così: «Questa è la mia bandiera, questa è la mia Patria, sono orgoglio di essere russo». Quanti altri colleghi lo seguiranno?

מה שקורה ביו״ש זה טרור יהודי בחסות ממשלת ישראל. פעם נוספת, בתוך יממה אחת בלבד, חוליות של פורעי חוק אלימים תוקפות אזרחים זרים - והפעם דיפלומטים ובעלי תפקידים רשמיים. מול עינינו מתרחש פיגוע מדיני וביטחוני חסר תקדים. קומץ עבריינים שורף את מעט הלגיטימציה שנותרה למדינת ישראל, מסכן את כוחות הביטחון ופוגע בהתיישבות ביהודה ושומרון ובביטחון הלאומי. אף אחד בהנהגה לא יוכל לטעון שלא העירו אותו בזמן ושלא התריעו בפניו.

EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk came to Donald Trump with the plan to throttle Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starshield satellite internet network, sources have told the Telegraph. The tech billionaire made the proposal during the US President’s row with Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries. ‘The reality is that they were both in it,’ a senior source said of Musk’s and Trump’s involvement. But after a night of carnage in Kyiv caused by the slowdown, Musk was alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe. The SpaceX boss then proceeded to tweet, blaming the US administration, and ultimately, President Trump for authorising the slowdown. ‘He tweeted out that he was innocent and that it was the US administration that did it,’ the source said.

RT @yarotrof Trump: We are running low on ammo not because of my war on Iran but because Biden gave “massive amounts” of Tomahawks to Ukraine. ↓ The U.S. didn’t supply a single Tomahawk to Ukraine. ⬇️ RT @carbac80 Biden gave Ukraine zero Tomahawks - no transfer ever happened. The US-supplied missile Ukraine got was ATACMS, a different, shorter-range weapon. Meanwhile the US has fired close to 1,000 Tomahawks since mid-2025, mostly against Iran, burning through a stockpile of only ~3,100 while producing just ~90 per year. The shortage comes from the Iran war, not Ukraine.

Su Rep, @il_cappellini Nessuno però sa trarre la conclusione inevitabile da tutte queste osservazioni della realtà: si pretende un’alleanza tra due partiti (e due idee) che sono nei fatti avversari. (e che stavolta non è nemmeno giustificata da speranze di vittoria)

Ieri Bending Spoons, la società italiana quotata a NY è rimbalzata del 40% su notizie di utili della trimestrale come ho spiegato 3 mesi fa è un occasione al ribasso, perchè perdono soldi in modo cronico e hanno però comprato 20 società, quasi tutte in perdita, in cui licenziano tutti
"Bending Spoons di fatto fa il mestiere di un private equity travestito da holding, usando la leva per fare aggregazione e rendere AI native i brand decotti che comprano": lThomas Avolio di RedFish Capital spiega perché gli piace l'approccio dell'unicorno italiano che ieri è balzato del 40% a Wall Street dopo che la Berkshire Hathaway di Warren Buffett ha rivelato un investimento di 930 milioni di euro.

Superb achievement. The strikes on Yandex make X a better and safer place. Let's finish the job! Something that I also witness in real time: the russian bots on my TL have dramatically decreased.
Ukraine hits another Yandex data center in Russia and Cloudflare data shows Russian bot traffic dropping dramatically. Might have an impact right before the November elections.
