Best thing Michael has ever said. He has more courage than 100 percent of Wall St.

"He thinks I’m an idiot and I know he’s an idiot." Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary says he has no intention to reconcile with Elon Musk after getting into a public spat earlier over the economics of installing SpaceX’s Starlink on its aircraft  bloom.bg/3W6f6tL

Yes a true anti democratic tradition

Needs to be displayed in Times Square and in every business school!

Only 15% of capital flowing from major financial institutions goes toward business investment. Where does the other 85% go?

Talarico has Musk funding his opponent’s campaign and Putin funding social media slanders against him — Talarico must be something special to have the world’s two most powerful oligarchs lined up against him.

The public spats & splintering start tomorrow...

Tick Tock --> How Trump put the Senate in play - Picked JD Vance as his running mate, opening up tough expensive special election that GOP could lose. DeWine appointed Husted, who originally wanted to run for governor. Close race that wouldn't have been up til '28 otherwise - Tangled with Tillis over healthcare cuts in 2025, prompting his retirement. Thune said then Tillis "knew how to run and win in North Carolina." Trump cleared field for Whatley, who is down by large margin. - Cold-shouldered Cornyn then backed Paxton. Cornyn: “Texas was an unforced error, I think, on the part of the president... if I won the nomination, then that would be a layup in November. That’s all off the table.” - Backed Sen. Darline Graham in crowded SC race, most senators thought she'd be an interim senator. Now in toss-up race against Annie Andrews with state GOP divided. Andrews: "Darline was going to be easier for me.” - Tried to oust Kemp in '22; when Georgia race came up this cycle, Kemp passed on the race. Trump backed Rep. Mike Collins over Kemp's pick Dooley, now huge underdog to Sen. Ossoff - Tariffs, filibuster pressure and of course, the Iran War: “Every negative for the GOP this cycle is a downstream effect of Iran" w/ @ShelbyTalcott semafor.com/article/11/02/20…

Hear hear! Plus Trump is the biggest threat to the security of Israel as his incompetent and inflationary war against Iran has proved.

Restrained interesting assessment @howell_raines "Barber would have argued that Mr. Trump’s excesses must surely trigger the self-correcting pendulum of the old democracy. The elections of 2026 and 2028 will tell us whether the digital tide has swept that mechanism away, along with the Washington etiquette book.. nytimes.com/2026/11/02/opini…

And to think, if Democrats had just nominated a safe establishment candidate like Haley Stevens, the Michigan Senate race would already be in the bag.

#Browns DE Jared Verse has been talking plenty of trash about the #Steelers.... Well, Steelers G Mason McCormick just did this to him. 😳😳
