US Congress needs to act quickly to force Trump, Musk, or whoever is responsible to restore full-speed access to Starshield for Ukraine.

The shame of it. Leaving an innocent ally unable to defend against drones. For money! Filthy money!

When the war is over with a Ukrainian victory make sure all Comrade Musk's businesses (including Starlink) are shut out of Ukraine.

Sir, @jaredkushner and @SteveWitkoff DO NOT represent the will of the majority of Americans. Most support an independent Ukraine with Crimea, and most see Putin as the murdering intractable enemy of the U.S. that he is. @WhiteHouse @SecRubio #ETTD @NATO @TheEconomist @Reuters

I held a coordination call on the situation in the regions. There were detailed reports on the consequences of the strikes on the Sumy region and recovery efforts in Shostka and Konotop. There were also reports on the Kyiv region – Bila Tserkva, Brovary, and other cities. The pace of recovery work is far too slow, and, unfortunately, inaccurate information was reported from several cities. We determined how to address this. The Ministry of Energy, together with the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Ministry for Communities, must prepare additional mechanisms for cooperation with cities and communities to speed up recovery. We separately discussed with the Prime Minister of Ukraine the restoration of the buildings of the Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics in Kyiv, which were damaged by a Russian “shahed.” The Minister of Energy reported on the protection of transformers and other equipment in the energy system.
Ukraine’s Minister of Defense and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces reported on communication with the American side regarding Starshield speed issues. Unfortunately, the speed limit of 161 kilometers per hour (100 miles per hour) for our forces remains in place along the entire front line and in Ukraine’s temporarily occupied territories. This makes it impossible, in particular, to use interceptors against jet-powered “shaheds.” We still have no clear explanations. I instructed Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Defense to step up contacts with the U.S. Department of State, the Pentagon, and SpaceX to obtain clarification and resolve the situation.
Instructions were also given to the Commander of the Air Force, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Agrarian Policy regarding the provision of air defense assets and the reorganization of mobile fire group operations to protect designated agricultural industry facilities. We are now preparing new defense packages for Ukraine. Thank you to everyone who is helping! Thank you to everyone who is working truly swiftly.

“Virginia was trafficked to princes. She was trafficked to prime ministers. And she was trafficked to presidents.”
Virginia Giuffre’s brother delivers a chilling account of how his sister was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell after getting a job at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.

Kallas on Witkoff/Kushner: "We have institutions in place, so we can't just send any person who has no institutional role, like the Americans are sending. Clearly, we should not copy the same patterns."
The ability of this woman to grill people in the sweetest voice 🤌

Man sieht Zelenskyj die pure Erschöpfung an – völlig zermürbt von diesem ganzen verlogenen Gezerre auf dem Rücken seines Landes.
Schwer auszuhalten. 🇺🇦

Another federal court just told the trump administration it can't just do whatever the hell it wants with federal funding.
Today, an appeals court ruled that the Transportation Department illegally withheld $73.5 million in highway funds from New York.
The administration also threatened withholding another $147 million a year.
Keep in mind, a federal judge already ordered the same department to unfreeze roughly $3 billion for Chicago rail projects.
Federal funding isn't meant to be a political weapon.

A 16-year-old was babysitting his girlfriend’s 23-month-old son. The baby wouldn’t stop crying so he covered the boy’s head with a pillow and punched him in the head until his brain bled. The child died. At trial, the teen sobbed and screamed that he’d loved him. Then the judge read out a phone call he’d made from jail and it ended him.
The boy’s name was Austin Smith. He was 23 months old. The 16-year-old, Dylan, was left alone to watch him and when Austin wouldn’t settle, he smothered him with a pillow and beat him in the head with his fists. The toddler suffered a brain hemorrhage and died.
In the courtroom, Dylan put on a performance. He cried hard. He screamed that he never meant to kill anyone, that he loved little Austin, that it was all a terrible mistake. For a moment, it almost looked like it might work on the jury.
Then the judge pulled out a recording a call Dylan had made to his own mother from jail, before the trial. On it, in his own voice, he’d laid out the plan: “I’m a 16-year-old blond kid. I just need to cry in front of the jury and they’ll feel sorry for me.”
He hadn’t been grieving. He’d been rehearsing.
The judge handed him the maximum: 25 years to life.
So here’s what splits people: is 25-to-life too heavy for a 16-year-old who still has a whole life ahead of him or does a boy who kills a baby for crying, then coldly games the court with fake tears, deserve to never walk free at all?

Today, I led 11 of my Senate colleagues in calling on House & Senate leadership to strip the upcoming defense bill of provisions that MANDATE defense & intelligence cooperation with Israel — including one advanced by Netanyahu himself.
This doesn’t make us safer, see why ⬇️

Lutnick must go. His malign self-enriching malfeasance shows the costs of corruption—putting personal profit above public interest. Making powerful Nvidia chips available to China through an apparent spy undercut both national security & economic competitiveness. fortune.com/2026/11/12/jense…
