Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

BTW this isn’t the first time Elon Musk has personally intervened to help the Russian military kill Ukrainian civilians. Starlink denies this, but Reuters presents compelling evidence that he ordered engineers to shut off access during a counteroffensive in 2022.

Musk ordered shutdown of Starlink satellite service as Ukraine retook territory from Russia
Soldiers panicked and drones surveilling Russian forces went dark.

Between this and his work to “throw USAID into the woodchipper,” which has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths, Musk is on track to be one of the worst mass killers of the 21st century. So anyway: saying “don’t buy Teslas or use X” seems like a real bare minimum ask, you know?

Kamala was VERY popular among the semi-informed lean-Dems. These people are pre-excited for her next run. Is anyone talking to actual likely voters about this?

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

If she came on tv today and renounced everything, it would not sway one person. MAGA viewers cannot be convinced out of their views by someone “exposing” a lie or false belief from a right wing influencer. This is a waste of time. It truly does not matter.

In weird news, I just got scolded by an older professional woman that I know for not reading enough books this year. Ma’am, I run a small business and spend every free moment working to get Dems elected in Downriver. I’m glad things are safe in A2, but we gotta fight down here!

VERY important point from my colleague Sam Bagenstos - the 2026 Senate races will determine the future of the Supreme Court and federal courts more broadly. Which means the 2026 Senate race in MICHIGAN could determine the future of the Supreme Court

This article offers half a dozen reasons why people have stopped having friends and family over, but it ignores the fact that the women who planned parties and kept homes tidy enough for unplanned guests are now working for pay full-time (usually more than 9-5). www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The dreadful decline of hosting at home: ‘I feel shame any time a friend comes over’
It used to be quite normal to pop next door for a coffee or invite friends over for dinner. But not any more. What’s behind this change – and just how damaging is it?

democrats, from obama to biden and most senate democrats, hold on to this notion that the only way to defeat the gop is for them to Finally Be Morally Outraged and Tell Their Party To Stop we've spent at least four decades with this bullshit running the democratic party. people are tired of it.

BCBS has a 65% market share here, some counties as high at 71%. It doesn’t have to be 100% for a monopoly, legally it’s over 50%. And they did bad things to get there.
