Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

They are not hiding their intentions anymore and are proving they lied to the American people about Trump and Putin, for years. Biggest fake-out play in politics that I have ever seen.
The Trump administration has halted future aid to Ukraine through the International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement program, even as Russia intensifies attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure ahead of winter. washingtonsun.com/foreign-po…

“Pete Hegseth fired my former commander today” 🔥 They slimed Lt. Gen. Sylvia with accusations on his way out. This is how top soldiers get treated by Trump. He was commander of the 101st airborne at Fort Campbell (CLARKSVILLE). Do @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn have anything to say?

Yesterday, russia killed 21 innocent civilians, including children. Today, the Pentagon is calling on people to “cool their rhetoric on russia.” So the problem isn’t russia killing children. The problem is people speaking too loudly about it?

Patrick was one of those icons who we somehow all took for granted would always be with us. I grew up as a fan, and was later gifted the privilege of becoming a colleague and friend, working with him for many years on “American Dad!”, “Family Guy”, and “Ted”. He was that rare actor who could take any bit of dialogue and elevate it, making a good writer sound great, and a great writer sound masterful. He was also as humble as they come. I remember exchanging emails with him a number of years ago when he was beginning day 1 of a new film. He commented to me that he always walked onto a new set feeling like the biggest novice there. My stunned reaction was the same as anyone’s would be. I said, “Patrick, if you feel that way, the rest of us are screwed.” We have lost a legendary actor today, and for many of us, a good friend. He will be deeply missed by the entire planet.

The wounded are being evacuated from Dnipro railway station to hospitals. My account on X appears to be throttled, so please share this. People need to see this blatant attack on civilians. I’m heading down there shortly.
Unbelievably sickening. I’m writing an article right now, having already warned about the dangerous escalation and direct targeting of railway stations and passenger trains. Explosions are still continuing now…. Now, 13 people have been killed in my city, civilians 🤬

I can't find words. Dnipro 💔 A railway platform is covered in people's bodies after a Russian strike. Russia started this war. Russia continues killing Ukrainian civilians every single day. Russia won't stop until it is stopped.
Dnipro. Oh my God. At least 13 killed in Dnipro - a Russian drone hit a train close to the central railway station. Many more injured. Looks like it was a deliberate Russian strike, not an accident.

Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

Another preview of the rest of Europe should Ukraine be unable to stop the savage hordes of Putin's mass murdering trash - an animal shelter is targeted by Russians, rescuers arrive and Russians hit it again. Russians then post drone footage because its all fun and games for them.

⚡ Wow... ❗Alarming news has appeared on X (formerly Twitter). If this is true, it is a huge facepalm and a fiasco for Elon Musk 🫢 According to an investigation, the owner of SpaceX blocked a US and NATO satellite to help Russians intercept it following the paralysis of Ukraine's air defense. US researchers uncovered a reality that Musk carefully conceals and does not want anyone to know about. It turned out that on October 13–14, SpaceX not only restricted Starshield/Starlink during a massive Russian attack involving 39 missiles and hundreds of drones—reducing Ukrainian drone interceptions by 23% and even leaving US personnel in Kyiv without communication 👀 48 hours later (October 15), the owner of SpaceX also blocked a US-licensed orbital radar satellite, ICEYE-X36 (used by the NRO, US Space Force, and NATO), using his satellite so that the Russian military satellite COSMOS 2612 could intercept it (posterior probability of 99.89%–99.98%). 🔥 The Pentagon, the US Space Force, and NATO are simply furious over this betrayal of national interests. From now on, the US military cannot rely on "cooperation" with Musk or feel secure amid such absurd blunders, nor can partners from other countries. Wonder how this might end? 🤔

I had to make the 'Final Brief Thread' on Musk/SpaceX's coordinated operation with Russia against ICEYE-X36 (the U.S.-licensed, American-operated radar spy satellite ) very technical so every calculation, orbital timestamp, and primary source is fully documented in one place. In plain English: Elon Musk is enabling our enemies while we bail him out. $SPCX $TSLA In the exact same week SpaceX throttled military Starshield links in Ukraine and pinned ICEYE-X36 for a Russian space weapon, Pete Hegseth and Pentagon CTO Emil Michael were busy rescuing Musk's balance sheet (and likely setting up nice kickbacks for a down-the-road return for themselves): 1. SpaceX absorbed xAI and burned $19.5B in Q3 against $14.58B in revenue. 2. Publicly traded Tesla dumped $2B-$3B of shareholder cash into private SpaceX/xAI stock to plug the hole. 3. Hegseth and Emil Michael (who cashed out $5M-$25M in xAI stock tax-deferred while keeping 5 personal LLC wrappers open with surviving options/profit interests) wired $8.8B+ in "Contractor-Owned" DoD deals where U.S. taxpayers pay for the satellites, but Musk (~79% voting control) keeps 100% ownership of the assets AND the physical kill-switches. 4. Now Tesla and SpaceX have formed Merger Special Committees to roll those taxpayer-funded assets together to prop up Musk's 207.5M pledged TSLA shares and $5.96B China loan. Think about how screwed we are in this setup: we pay for the satellites, we fund the bailout, and Musk keeps the kill-switch over our military entering Iran Round Two. When does it end?
FINAL: SpaceX Blocked A U.S. And NATO Satellite to Assist a Russian Intercept After Crippling Ukraine's Air Defenses   New 5-page institutional brief & 60s 3D SGP4 orbital reconstruction with Craig Pirrong, Ph.D. @streetwiseprof | Data & Forensics: RAB @LibertyLynx Pages 1-3 & 3D animation below; Pages 4-5 in Post 2; full 5-page PDF link in Post 3 🧵👇   As Craig Pirrong's counterfactual framework establishes: The Russian intercept is not the smoking gun. The failure to maneuver is.   1. The Sprinting Satellite Paradox & -96.64% Target Freeze (Page 1): Between Oct 13 and 24, 2026, Russian counterspace weapon COSMOS 2612 (68762) converted a 5-month, ~170 m/s co-planar trailing option into a 0.759 km sub-kilometer hold against U.S.-licensed radar satellite ICEYE-X36 (59103), which guides Ukraine's autonomous deep strikes on Russian oil refineries without SpaceX links, at the exact moment SpaceX throttled Ukrainian military Starshield terminals (-23.0% USF air-defense hits).   In June 2026 (with no Starlink alert), ICEYE-X36 defeated a Russian approach by dropping 0.500 km, generating 71.08 km/day secular drift (3.62 km/h in the sprint frame), exiting Russia's 3.0 km braking box in 49.7 to 60.78 minutes, blowing past Russia's 12 km or under onboard KTZ sensor in 3.31 hours, and causing a 103.7 to 118.5 km miss.   In October, as COSMOS 2612 fired a -2.2184 km (370.8x perched shock / 449.1x fit jump) burn to sprint 14.29x faster (400 km/day / 278 m/min), ICEYE-X36's evasion collapsed by 96.64% (to 16.8154 meters or less, P3 = 3.363%). 

 * Why? The Alert Itself Was the Weapon: SpaceX maintained a 0.401 km (0.711 km Oct 16) public GP collision alert via STARLINK-35856 (67013) despite holding internal v3/v4 forecasts 4.80x to 5.00x wider (1.925 to 2.003 km) and withholding autonomous Starlink clearance (M_Starlink = 0, W_X36 = 1, W_COSMOS = 0), legally freezing X36 under David Goldman's 2023 FCC Condition 16 (DA 23-797).   * Rational Russian exercise across a 363.7 km blind gap required ex-ante certainty of K = (E1, E2, E3). Across all 5 capability levers, SpaceX is the sole actor (N = 1): Posterior = 99.893% to 99.978% (Tier A floor; 1 in 3,748 to 17,841) and up to 99.999% (Tier B K-set).   2. Four-Way Tracker Blindness & What NRO/USSF Saw Live (Page 2): 

 * Public Catalogs (18th/19th SDS): Blind for 21.824 hours (363.7 km unobserved closure) on sprint (k6 to k7) and 19.385 hours on brake (k9 to k10, -382.71 km SGP4 delta).   * Russian Ground Radars (SKKP Krona/Okno): Bounded by Earth curvature at 541 km to a 22.8 degree (2,530 km) horizon cone, blind for 8 to 10 hours/day (80% to 94.5% of the orbit) with zero Americas/Pacific coverage.   * The Sole Unblinded Commercial Panopticon: Only SpaceX's Stargaze (31,000 star trackers, 40M+ daily tracks, 17M associated, 850 sightings/day, 7 to 15 min global custody / 99.73% 10-min hit rate) and sub-1-minute Space Safety portal (Appendix A & Section 4(b), with Chinese operators onboarded Oct 6 & 16) had real-time visibility across the blind gap, while NRO & USSF watch floors watched live on the classified High Accuracy Catalog (HAC / Space Fence / Vantor WorldView NEI), realizing 348 Starshield satellites in orbit (245 NRO spy satellites) sit on the same SpaceX bus.   3. Contracted Capacity Is Not Combat Availability & The 6-Way C2 Collapse (Page 3): 

 * Combat Output = Sensor Availability x Link Availability x Platform Availability x Permission Arriving Before Mission Window Closes (T_permission <= T_mission).   * The Two-Pronged Pincer: SpaceX weaponized FCC Condition 16 to freeze the Sensor Layer in orbit and a Commercial ToS ($500 liability cap) to blind the Transport Layer on the ground.   * 70-90 km/h Civilian Baseline vs. 4 Collapsed Alibis: Civilian Starlink in Ukraine was already capped at 70 to 90 km/h since Feb 2026 (S. Beskrestnov). The Oct 13-24 101 to 161 km/h gate hit DoD-contracted military Starshield links (-23.0% USF hits; Oct 19 Nova Vodolaha strike). Musk cycled through 4 contradicting alibis in 12 days (blaming DoD/POTUS Oct 14 -> ToS offensive loophole Oct 24 -> "sympathy for poor Russian conscripts" Oct 25 -> Russian ASAT/debris fear Oct 26), while resolving the exact same "weapon ToS" objection on U.S. LUCAS suicide drones in Iran via a 5x price hike ($5,000 to $25,000/mo)!   * COCO vs. GOGO ($8.8B+ Sign-Off Chain): Under Contractor-Owned, Contractor-Operated (COCO/OTA) deals signed off by Pete Hegseth, Stephen Feinberg, CTO Emil Michael, Lt. Gen. Philip Garrant, Gen. Michael Guetlein, Col. Ryan Frazier, Clare Hopper & NRO's Dr. Chris Scolese, taxpayers fund the satellites while SpaceX's civilian NOC retains 100% of the physical thruster and velocity kill-switches.   (Continued in Post 2: Pages 4 & 5: Statutory Breach Matrix, CTO Emil Michael's $7M-$35M OGE Clock, the $19.5B SpaceX Bailout Loop, Iran Round Two Magazine Depletion & Subpoena Schedule.
