.@elonmusk make sure @Starlink keeps all records and communications regarding your alliance with Russia. Subpoenas are coming. I am sure the European market will want to know what happened.
Ukraine's Starshield terminals still don't work properly, President Zelensky confirms, disabling Ukrainian interceptors used to shoot down Russian jet-powered drones that have been hitting civilian targets in recent weeks.

Even Trump's own party is starting to acknowledge his self-dealing. @crampell and JVL dig into new polling showing 55% of Republicans believe Trump is prioritizing his business interests:
“Even Republicans are now acknowledging he's in it for himself.”

Schumer has spent $35 million. How much has Sanders spent out of his $22 million warchest in Michigan?
Rep. Ayanna Pressley in MI just praised AOC for the $1 million — and ripped DSCC.
“The DSCC should take note because it is shameful that we are not seeing an equitable investment in progressive and diverse candidates like Abdul El-Sayed, like Angie Nixon, like Scott Colom.”
Community note
DSCC has invested $16 million to date electing Abdul El-Sayed, according to its own statement. Senate Majority PAC has spent or committed tens of millions more in support.

"Sure, some of those chumps might have been rich, unsympathetic Wall Street traders; but some of them might have been your pension fund. Were this an isolated incident, it would be bad enough." There's more!

Most Republicans now say that Trump is prioritizing his own personal business interests.
Donald Trump is robbing Americans blind, and even Republicans are starting to notice.

Talarico: "[My] comment about God not being defined by gender — when I said that I was being provocative and I want to admit that and come clean about that. But I think what I was saying is actually not controversial theologically, the idea that we can't define God using human categories. Not only did I say that, but the late Charlie Kirk said that, the late Pope Benedict said that. And so, yes, I was doing it maybe in an annoying way. I can admit that."

WSJ today had a story about the Houthis building a new missile with Chinese parts. Russia is resupplying missile stocks directly to Iran to compensate for the ones the U.S. destroyed or damaged. And Russia's provision of intel to the IRGC for targeting U.S. forces in the Gulf comes from his own intelligence community. The Gimp in "Pulp Fiction" had more self-respect than this guy.
If you’re going to lie, lie big
Of course the families of service personnel killed by Iran with the help of Russia Intel and weapons will disagree
