Sotomayor, dissenting from John Roberts’ immunity ruling:
“Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.”
Roberts signed it anyway.

NEW: Cobb County, Georgia will send absentee ballots via priority express mail to voters who never received them despite applying weeks ago.
The announcement comes after a lawsuit aimed at forcing the county to act. demdock.com/4jMMKyu

So JD was conspiring to install Bolsonaro? The Supreme Court of Brazil is opening an investigation into Rockbridge Network, a donor group Vance co-founded in 2019. So hello Brazil, the US was blatantly interfering with your election. Time to subpoena JD to answer a few questions.

Wow… Auf X sind alarmierende Nachrichten aufgetaucht. Wenn das stimmt, ist das ein Fiasko für Forrest Musk !!
Einer Untersuchung zufolge hat der Eigentümer von SpaceX einen Satelliten der USA und der NATO blockiert, um den Russen zu helfen, diesen nach dem Zusammenbruch der ukrainischen Luftabwehr abzufangen.
US-Forscher haben eine Tatsache aufgedeckt, die Musk sorgfältig verheimlicht und von der niemand etwas erfahren soll.
Es stellte sich heraus, dass SpaceX am 13. und 14. Oktober während eines massiven russischen Angriffs mit 39 Raketen und Hunderten von Drohnen nicht nur Starshield/Starlink eingeschränkt hat – wodurch die Abfangrate ukrainischer Drohnen um 23 % sank und sogar US-Personal in Kiew 48 Stunden später (am 15. Oktober) ohne Kommunikation blieb – sondern dass der Eigentümer von SpaceX zudem einen von den USA lizenzierten Orbitalradarsatelliten, ICEYE-X36 (der von der NRO, der US-Space Force und der NATO genutzt wird) und setzte seinen eigenen Satelliten ein, damit der russische Militärsatellit COSMOS 2612 diesen abfangen konnte (a-posteriori-Wahrscheinlichkeit von 99,89 %–99,98 %).
Das Pentagon, die US-Space Force und die NATO sind über diesen Verrat an den nationalen Interessen schlichtweg außer sich vor Wut.
Von nun an kann sich das US-Militär angesichts solch absurder Fehltritte nicht mehr auf die „Zusammenarbeit“ mit Musk verlassen oder sich sicher fühlen – ebenso wenig wie Partner aus anderen Ländern.
Bin gespannt, wie das wohl enden wird?

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.

Meta is blocking Angie Nixon. Maybe we can at least amplify her here. Follow, retweet, etc.
Hey @Meta 👋 We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie @Instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event.
This page is a critical communication tool for reaching Latino voters and mobilizing our community. With just seven days until Election Day, every minute matters.
We are calling on Meta to immediately restore the page and provide an explanation for its removal. Voters deserve access to critical election information, especially in these final days. @andymstone

Why did the flight manifest list Flavio Bolsonaro as an Italian National and not Brazilian meaning that he just immigrated to the United States with falsified documents. Where is ICE ? Didn’t Ron DeSantis say that Florida wouldn’t become a Sanctuary State. Maralago bound.

Zuckerberg already admitted it wrongly suspended the No Kings Instagram account during the peak of a massive voter-mobilization effort.
Now, seven days before the midterms, Zuckerberg has suspended the account Angie Nixon’s Senate campaign uses to organize Latino voters.
At what point do repeated “mistakes” that suppress organizing by Democrats become an election-integrity crisis?

VOTERS MAILED THEIR BALLOTS ON TIME. THE POSTMARKS CAME TOO LATE.
A new ProPublica investigation links USPS restructuring to sharply higher ballot-rejection rates in rural communities.
In 11 eastern Washington counties, nearly 2,000 ballots arrived late, compared with about 600 in the 2022 primaries.
In Stevens County, late-postmark rejections rose from roughly 1% to 8%.
USPS says special procedures should reduce delays in November.
THE WARNING WAS ABOUT BALLOTS THAT MIGHT NOT COUNT. THE NEW EVIDENCE SHOWS BALLOTS ALREADY REJECTED.
And the November 3 election is days away.

Giorgia Meloniová je prostě skvělá! 🇮🇹👏🏻
Matteo Salvini začal vykřikovat, že Itálie už nesmí posílat Ukrajině peníze a zbraně. Jenže narazil. Meloniová mu okamžitě zavolala a dala jasně najevo, že Itálie svůj postoj měnit nebude.
A Salvini? Najednou otočil a začal mluvit jinak.
Přesně takhle se jedná s těmi, kteří by nejraději nechali Ukrajinu napospas Putinovi. Žádné ústupky, žádné podlézání Kremlu!
Meloniová znovu ukázala, že podpora Ukrajiny a obrana evropské bezpečnosti nejsou otázkou pravice nebo levice, ale zásad.
Bravo, Giorgia! 🇮🇹🇺🇦

If these MAGA Republicans are willing to pretend to your face that the Bolsonaro family didn't try to rig an election they lost, didn't get convicted for plotting to assassinate Jair's opponent who beat him, and isn't under investigation for money laundering and fraud, then what do you think they are willing do do here in America to secure power when they lose?
That should be enough to vow never to vote MAGA into public office ever again.

Big trouble here for Scott Jennings. A $72.5 million defamation lawsuit is no small matter, especially when the allegations involve a manipulated video and a fabricated quote. This could get very ugly for him. It’s about time this sort of deception has consequences.
