Elon Musk is a military contractor with access to highly sensitive national security info. He also cheated on his wife Talulah, used ketamine, publicly smoked weed with Joe Rogan, and has regular phone calls with Vladimir Putin. Why is he treated differently than Jensen Huang?

To repeat: embarrassing that 11 Ds failed to show, but a blessing in disguise. Draft better more powerful articles of impeachment, discuss them at length on the floor, send to a Dem Senate that can have a full trial. Opportunity to show in depth Hegseth's traitorous perfidy
Democrats should try again to impeach Hegseth, and do it right. It's not just a matter of holding Hegseth accountable for his role in an unconstitutional war. It's also a matter of clawing back war powers from the presidency. No administration has been so brazen, and unprecedented action requires an unprecedented response. nytimes.com/2026/11/12/opini…

America can promise whatever it wants. It can't force Ukraine to accept it.
They have already withheld Starlink and may do it again but Ukraine doesn't need Starlink to hit refineries and factories in Russia. There is also a very key strategic risk for Starlink if it is turned off again. The company will be mindful of that.
Said differently, Ukraine actually has some cards.
They can destroy Russia's refineries with Ukrainian made weapons and no one can make them stop doing that. Their European allies can apply pressure to make them stop but they won't because they understand Ukraine is doing the world a huge favor in dealing with Russia.
Russia will crack first. They already are. They will also continue targeting civilians and killing them.
The future of the world is better with a weakened Russia today.

Apparently this segment from SNL’s Weekend Update is upsetting to Elon Musk and his fans.
Be a shame if this went viral.

If the system is rigged, and you win anyway, that is your one and only chance to unrig it.

Elections are secure. Since 2020, not a single election has been overturned by Trump judges or even the Supreme Court. You are mixing up "garden-variety" irregularities with "outcome-determinative" fraud. Please read Griffin v. Burns. You're being used as a pawn by sore losers.

Aside from the lies, corruption, cronyism, and hypocrisy, one of the most reliable traits of members of this administration is that they will react to fair and honest questions with smarmy jackassery.
BASH: Calley Means, who was a top health official, accuses Susie Wiles of blocking health policies because of lobbying by Wiles's former firm, and says she put fundraising over public health. Is this something you'll look into?
BLANCHE: Something someone says on a podcast? No, I do not listen to that. Absolutely not.
BASH: Ron Johnson called it corruption

Imagine if @DanaBashCNN, knowing she was going to take this line of questioning, took the 30 secs necessary to pull and recite these quotes to Blanche. Instead, she allows the perception that Blanche's threat is legit. Media malpractice continues regardless of election results.

For years, my dad battled Parkinson’s disease. On Election Night, I got to tell him, “Pop, we won.”
This morning, he passed away.
A part of me believes he held on just long enough to see his son make it to Congress.
He won’t be there when I’m sworn in. But I know he’ll be standing right beside me.
Rest easy, Daddy. I’ll take it from here. These next two years are for you ❤️

🧵Three blacklisted supertankers holding 140,000 tons of Russian fuel are drifting in circles in the Atlantic because the White House begged US traders to buy Putin's diesel, and literally zero buyers answered the phone. 1/🧵

When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs.
After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

So tomorrow, the first tanker carrying 40,000 metric tons of Russian diesel is set to depart for the US. Let’s do the math.
40,000 tons is roughly 300,000 barrels.
The US consumes about 4 million barrels of diesel per day. That means this entire tanker covers less than two hours of American demand.
At the same time, the US exports around 1.5 million barrels of diesel a day—meaning this shipment is equivalent to just 4.5 hours of US exports.
The voyage from Ust-Luga to US terminals takes 2.5 to 3 weeks. By the time the tanker arrives, the US will have exported over 4 million tons of its own diesel—a hundred times more than what this single tanker is delivering.
So, one of the world's largest diesel exporters is buying diesel from an aggressor state just to cover two hours of domestic consumption? - Presidential Commissioner for Sanctions Policy Vladyslav Vlasiuk.

SpaceX Investor @GerberKawasaki tells me he’s not only “disgusted…from a humanity perspective” by restrictions on Starlink in Ukraine, but also: “…they've given everybody a reason not to use Starlink, that Starlink isn't reliable for national security for anybody but Trump.”

russia has run into serious problems with its offensive in Donbas, where its forces have become bogged down.
One of the main reasons was that russian logistics had been crippled by Ukrainian drone strikes. This campaign depended heavily on Starlink terminals operating on high-speed Ukrainian drones.
russian military command identified this as a critical problem and approached the American side, asking it to restrict the speeds at which Starlink terminals could operate.
The argument was simple: there would be little public backlash because the US could still claim that Starlink was operational and that the service was still being provided.
The Trump administration agreed to the restrictions, effectively solving a critical battlefield problem for Russia.
As a result, russian logistics in Donbas are now safer, and Ukraine has lost an important advantage on the battlefield.

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.
No President in History has ended the same war so many times.
Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.
No President has ever done this before.
And he is nowhere near finished ending it.
It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Say @bariweiss?
Why is your SCOTUS reporter @JanCBS applauding someone who doesn't believe in the First Amendment?
