After Elon Musk posted on X saying he had throttled Ukraine’s use of Starlink after it was used for offensive attacks, House Armed Services Committee member Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) says the billionaire’s ability to wield that power is “beyond disturbing to me.” “It cannot and should not be the case that a tech oligarch, a private citizen, who has that much control over our national security, who is unaccountable, who is unelected, with zero transparency, is making life and death decisions on the battlefield in systems that our service members and our partners and allies rely upon,” he adds.

This is so achingly obvious, it should be a litmus test for the midterms: Who doesn’t see this as a serious national security liability, and how much did Elon contribute to your campaign?

This is interesting. Key Putin 🇷🇺 aide Ushakov admits that the Anchorage plan of having Trump 🇺🇸 force Zelensky 🇺🇦 into agreeing to their demands hasn’t worked because of the role of Europe. That’s it: if Europe stays the course, 🇷🇺 can’t win.

In my view, it’s inevitable that Russia will turn up the volume politically and ramp up its propaganda. And what a remarkable coincidence that Starlink and Starshield were restricted just as Ukraine was enjoying success on the battlefield. The pattern keeps recycling, it happened before, it happened again.

So 25 Orange Order bands turning up on a Saturday evening in Portadown are now "directing" democracy for the whole of NI..... Jesus wept, the only thing they are going to deliver is a bigger turn out & vote for SF come May. Graham is most definitely not a political colossus 🙄

Kushner phone hack also revealed how Russia has almost certainly been blackmailing him about everything they learned.

Our conversation with the American side in Oslo was accompanied by three challenges. These were the shortage of air defense, restrictions on Starlink/Starshield, and restrictions on intelligence sharing from the United States of America. I am grateful to the Americans and our team that two of these issues – intelligence and Starlink/Starshield – have been resolved as of today. The issue of air defense remains. There is progress on missiles for Patriot systems, but things are moving very slowly. More slowly than Russian missiles fly. You cannot say, “Yes, we will give the missiles to you,” and then not deliver them for a month or two. It simply does not work that way. From an interview with Alla Mazur for TSN Week on 1+1, as part of the United News telethon. (1/5)

Russian mercenaries have turned African farmlands into rape sites, massacred villagers to seize gold, and tortured those who speak out. I’ve documented the crimes. They had me arrested and tortured for it. I won’t stop. Help me continue. Please donate gofundme.com/f/philip-obaji-…

Denying Ukraine Patriot interceptors that were ordered, authorized, and paid for while Russia continues to unleash devastating attacks on civilians is unconscionable. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth must answer for reports that these critical defensive weapons are being delayed or blocked. And Congress? Its silence is indefensible. These interceptors are meant to save lives, not sit idle while civilians die. Congress, do your damn job. Demand answers. Demand accountability. Act.
Three waves of ballistic missiles have been launched at Kyiv by Russian “humanitarians” since yesterday evening. They used 21 missiles. Unfortunately, numerous sites across the city have been hit and damaged: ordinary residential buildings, energy facilities, infrastructure at one of the railway stations and the metro, shopping malls, and businesses. Even a monastery is among the damaged sites. Our emergency services are working at all the affected locations. Twelve of our regions came under Russian attack overnight. In Kyiv and across the regions, 34 people were injured, including five children. As of now, two people have been confirmed killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Almost immediately after another round of talks, Russia launched a pointed attack. This means there has been no real change in its attitude toward everything that is happening. It is important to keep trying to find the right solutions to end this war. But when Russia responds to negotiations with ballistic missiles, real pressure on Russia is needed to bring about different steps – steps toward ending the killing. Stronger air defenses and the rapid delivery of missiles, the ability to destroy ballistic missile launchers, sanctions over the war – all of this must be in place. I am grateful to everyone who sees the situation for what it is and acknowledges the reality. The aggressor deserves to be treated accordingly. Ukraine deserves support. People's lives deserve protection. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

Your country is the invader who initiated this war. Your country bombs cities to terrorize civilians and you torture POWs. We have utter contempt for you and Putin, the actual warmongers.
Elon exposes the LIES OF WARMONGERS: That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell. Honesty & realistic solutions are required for peace🕊️

He sounds like a neo-Nazi @piersmorgan, not sure how you can continue to feign outrage over that description. What else would you call your pal’s rhetoric here? It’s pure white supremacist, Neo-Nazi racism.
Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

Anyone with even a basic understanding of Russia knows this is true. Those blaming Ukraine’s supporters for prolonging the war have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about.

Snyder: I visited the front in Ukraine. Things look pretty good. A Russian breakthrough seems pretty unlikely, and having to mobilize is a bad sign for Russia. Ukrainians gain more territory than they lose and inflict many times more casualties. 1/

3000. Three thousand. In Portadown. Where, let’s be honest, there’s not much else to do on a Saturday night once Strictly is over. But everyone is getting all excited about 3000 people in a country town known for its political make up.

‘Life comes at you fast,’ Eddie the Legal says of me today. About me responding to the Lidl Lawyer absolutely shitting himself about the Portadown turn-out hours earlier. ‘Only Orangemen.’ ‘Not political.’ Then he and Scarvla Lockhart fall over each other to get on the trailer.

As Israel prepares to go to the polls on Tuesday, the issue that has received shockingly little attention is Israel's having reduced much of Gaza to rubble and killed nearly 75,000 people. What genocide? trib.al/8D4jsmv

Musk's lie about Ukraine breaking Starlink TOS relies on the fact that his fans are complete morons and technologically illiterate losers who think they're smart.
