Fox Business: "45% odds now of an October rate hike now. No! They're gonna hike in the month before the midterms?! ... I know you don't like it, but this is the biggest [inflation] jump since May. It is outpacing workers' wages."

Update (lmao):
Tweet from Elon Musk: 
Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS. 

Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX. Usage of Starlink is limited to civilian or defensive activities and cannot be used for offensive military action, as doing so would be inappropriate for a commercial company.

MS NOW analyzed Trump Justice Department data and found Kash Patel is making false statements about FBI crime stats. The FBI under Patel has brought thousands fewer criminal cases than previous administrations. The findings rebut Patel's claims that he has led a crackdown on violent crime.
ms.now
Crime stats touted by Kash Patel are bolstered by arrests made by state and local agencies, not FBI
An analysis of publicly available data from the Justice Department shows repeated claims made by the FBI director are false or misleading.

I am guessing the people who are preemptively mad about the JK Rowling documentary are not familiar with the concept of 'journalism'? It's obviously not going to be a one-sided thing. The press release repeatedly refers to her as a polarising figure, and she clearly declined to take part herself!

It's legitimate for the EU, the UK, Canada and others to support their Ukrainian ally. If Musk is going to (in effect) assist Putin's invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine's allies should sanction Starlink, X and Tesla. At the very least, governments (and people) should stop using his fucking site already.
