Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein

Musk’s interview went great: Reporter: What is your thought on the ban of foreign students, you were one of those kids, right? Musk: “I think we want to stick to talking about spaceships.” Reporter: I was told that any topic is good. Musk: “Well no.”

It’s amazing that MAGA labels every election result is doesn’t like as “stolen” or an example of “fraud “, but when Putin “wins” almost 90% of the vote in his crooked elections, they don’t make a peep.

Friends, My account here, just like other Ukrainian accounts recently, is suffering from severe shadowbanning/pessimization. There has been a sharp drop in reach, as the platform's algorithms quietly remove it from search and recommendations. My Threads account, which has 25,000 followers, currently gets more reach than my account here on X. I will remain here and I deeply value our community. But just in case, I want to remind you that I have other platforms: Threads, Bluesky, and Telegram. 📷: you can press the bell icon to get notified of my new posts.

Just got out of a showing of “Musk” I drove 45 miles to see at a Simi Valley Regal, one of only three theaters within a 50-mile radius of L.A. showing it this weekend. Full house. I wish I could drag everyone I know back out here to see it.

New: Sources from three countries confirm that the Trump Administration has advocated Viktor Orbán for UN Secretary-General. The US has encouraged Orbán to enter the race, even bringing him the initial idea of a joint U.S.-Russia-China candidacy. WSJ: wsj.com/opinion/viktor-orban…

Trump supporters delight in Trump’s cruelty, of course, but they also engage in their own vile speech and actions as a virtual initiation rite into the MAGA movement — it’s the way that they demonstrate that they have the "courage" necessary to take on the left. This perversion of the concept of courage is central to the MAGA ethos. In MAGA’s account of history, the Republican Party before Trump was a collection of cowards and quislings — people who knew the right thing to do but refused to do so because they were desperate for the approval of progressives. nytimes.com/2026/10/25/opini…

Elon Musk initially denied throttling Ukraine's Starlink. Now he has admitted it and said it was because they violated terms of service. He's a coward, and a traitor, and a liar.

According to The Economist: "It appears to have come from a small circle around the president, Mr Musk and Steve Witkoff, the special envoy to Russia. Reports suggest Mr Musk wanted to punish Ukraine for striking Russian refineries. One official says he contacted the White House only after imposing the restrictions." If true, this suggests Elon Musk imposed the terminal-speed restrictions unilaterally, before notifying the White House. Congress must urgently investigate whether Musk acted without government authorization. It is unacceptable for a private citizen to exercise unilateral control over a vital military capability. Starshield is a defense system, and decisions to restrict its operational capabilities should rest with the appropriate government authorities, not the CEO of a private contractor. This should alarm everyone. The America-Ukraine link grows even spottier economist.com/europe/2026/10…

Republicans let an unelected South African ketamine junkie fire 270K American workers, steal our data, starve the world's poorest children, shut down investigations into his companies, and set himself up with billions in government contracts. And DOGE cost more than it saved.

Trump and his team act like they are mediating between two countries equally responsible for the war in Ukraine. That framework is morally and analytically wrong and does not advance peace. Treating Putin like he deserves something from his illegal, barbaric invasion only emboldens him to ask for more.

WOW, Americans overwhelmingly support Ukraine over Russia, 66% in favor, with only 3% for Russia. trump is part of that 3%, more proof he's completely out of touch with Americans. trump is a Russian asset.
