Elon Musk deleted his tweets in which he insulted Democrat Talarico, who won the Senate election in Texas.
What happened?

Perhaps — and hear me out here — if you can afford to lose $474 million while trying to buy the midterm elections, you can afford to pay your fair share in taxes.

"AIPAC PAC transmitted $427,550 in earmarked contributions to three @hakeemjeffries committees through September: $250,000 to the Victory Fund, $149,300 to the Battleground Protection Fund, and $28,250 to his campaign."

I know there are staff on here who work for potential challengers to Chuck and Hakeem. Please encourage your bosses to run for leadership against those two bozos. Now is the time for wartime consiglieri

Dear @hakeemjeffries
It's not about "getting even"
But the American people demand **ACCOUNTABILITY** and if Trump broke the law or someone in the Trump administration did THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED.
And failure to understand that will **SQUANDER** this extraordinary victory.

There is no chance that anyone is going to challenge Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker, especially since he would be the first Black Speaker.
And it doesn't look like anyone is going to challenge Schumer in the Senate either. Van Hollen doesn't seem interested, and no one seems to have the appetite for taking on Schumer's powerful machine in the party. I'm hearing this from a lot of folks here in DC, and it seems to be in the zeitgeist. Schumer's incredible incompetence (which probably cost at least one Senate seat for the Dems in Florida and damn near cost Michigan and Maine too if Schumer had his way) is not on people's minds in the euphoria of yesterday's performance.
We should take this as an early warning sign. There's probably nothing to be done about it, but it should be a signal to all of us that we need to double down on our involvement on the issues, not ease up on them--which is what the centrists are going to say we need to do. Remember how wrong they have been at every turn and they know they are on shaky ground to say the least.
No rest, I'm afraid...

I will be contacting both of my Senators and asking them not to vote for Chuck Schumer as Majority Leader.
I encourage you to do the same.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦ZELENSKY RÉVÈLE DES CONTACTS ENTRE ELON MUSK ET POUTINE DEPUIS LE DÉBUT DE LA GUERRE EN UKRAINE
⚠️Des révélations qui soulèvent de sérieuses questions
Le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky a révélé qu'Elon Musk, patron de SpaceX et propriétaire du réseau satellitaire Starlink, avait entretenu des contacts avec Vladimir Poutine dès le début de l'invasion russe de l'Ukraine en 2022.
Lors d'une interview accordée à PBS NewsHour, diffusée le 2 novembre 2026, Zelensky a déclaré « Au tout début de la guerre, Elon était en communication avec Poutine et avec moi. »
Le président ukrainien n'a toutefois précisé ni les dates exactes, ni la nature de ces échanges, ni s'il s'agissait de conversations directes.
⚠️Poutine reconnaît lui-même des contacts avec Musk
Ces révélations interviennent quelques jours après des déclarations du Kremlin.
Le 28 octobre, Vladimir Poutine a publiquement qualifié Elon Musk de « véritable génie », tout en affirmant que Moscou entretenait des contacts étroits avec des partenaires américains, dont le milliardaire.
Officiellement, ces échanges concerneraient la coordination des activités satellitaires afin d'éviter les interférences dans l'espace.
Ces déclarations confirment l'existence de contacts évoqués par Moscou, mais ne prouvent pas une quelconque collaboration militaire entre Musk et la Russie.

⚠️Starlink : des restrictions qui ont pénalisé l’armée ukrainienne
La polémique intervient après les restrictions imposées en octobre aux services satellitaires Starlink et Starshield, essentiels aux communications et à certaines opérations militaires ukrainiennes.
Dans la nuit du 13 au 14 octobre, des limitations de vitesse auraient perturbé l'utilisation de drones ukrainiens, notamment ceux destinés à intercepter les drones russes Shahed.
⚠️Selon le Wall Street Journal, Elon Musk aurait personnellement ordonné ces restrictions, une version qui a fait l'objet de déclarations contradictoires entre SpaceX et les autorités américaines.
Le 24 octobre, Musk a reconnu des limitations techniques, accusant l'Ukraine d'avoir utilisé Starlink en violation de ses conditions commerciales.
⚠️Des responsables ukrainiens ont contesté cette accusation.
Pour Kyiv, ces perturbations ont directement affecté certaines capacités de défense face aux attaques russes.
Kyiv Post
Zelensky s’interroge sur les véritables intentions de Musk
Interrogé sur le soutien réel du milliardaire à l'Ukraine, Zelensky a reconnu ne pas savoir si Musk souhaitait véritablement une victoire ukrainienne.
Il a néanmoins exprimé sa reconnaissance pour l'aide apportée par Starlink depuis 2022.
Le président ukrainien a également expliqué avoir souhaité discuter directement avec Musk après les restrictions d'octobre, mais que SpaceX n'avait pas organisé cet échange.
Il s'interroge par ailleurs sur la possibilité que les limitations du système militaire Starshield aient été décidées sans intervention de responsables américains.
Une dépendance technologique devenue stratégique
Pour l'Ukraine, Starlink et Starshield sont devenus des outils essentiels à la conduite de la guerre.
Zelensky affirme avoir demandé à Donald Trump, à trois ou quatre reprises, de lever certaines restrictions sur Starshield afin de permettre aux forces ukrainiennes de localiser et de frapper les lanceurs de missiles balistiques russes avant leurs tirs.
⚠️Selon lui, cette capacité pourrait sauver de nombreuses vies civiles.
La question est désormais cruciale : comment l'Ukraine peut-elle garantir sa sécurité lorsqu'une partie de ses moyens militaires dépend des décisions d'une entreprise privée américaine ?
⚠️Une affaire qui dépasse Elon Musk
Ces révélations mettent en lumière les relations complexes entre les intérêts privés, les technologies stratégiques et les enjeux géopolitiques.
Alors que la Russie poursuit ses bombardements contre l'Ukraine, les décisions concernant l'accès aux communications satellitaires peuvent avoir des conséquences directes sur le terrain.
Les contacts entre Musk et Poutine ne suffisent pas à établir une complicité avec Moscou.
Mais les restrictions subies par l'Ukraine soulèvent des questions légitimes sur la transparence des décisions et les garanties offertes à Kyiv.
Une chose est certaine : la défense d'un pays agressé ne devrait pas dépendre de décisions opaques concernant des technologies devenues vitales pour sa population et son armée.

All that Reform stuff about "save are wimmin" and "protect are children" is looking decidedly dodgy now.
In fact, it even looks like a good cloak for wife-beaters and child abusers.

This is weird. @SkyNews has finally admitted that Donald Trump is deranged but the post has been deleted.

There has been zero comment from Reform except to say Madgwick is suspended.
Silence from Farage, Yusuf, Anderson.....

- a candidate they ran after his arrest
- a man they allowed to be platformed in the media

At the Budget, the Government introduced a higher tax on bank mega-profits to help fund support for people's energy bills.
Last night, Reform MPs voted AGAINST it.
Remember that the next time they claim to be on the side of ordinary people.

Has someone checked the WiFi at Reform UK HQ?
Total radio silence from Nigel, Zia Yusuf, Jenrick, and Suella since the US midterm results came in.
The Tory defectors must be sweating through their shirts. Even Kemi has gone completely quiet.
Funny how fast they lose their thumbs when the political wind shifts. #Midterms2026 #ReformUK

The absent Reform UK Nottinghamshire Councillor living in the USA
Serious allegations have emerged about potential visa fraud.
Reform UK councillor Daniel Saban (@ds4reformuk), Retford West on Nottinghamshire County Council appears to be living and working in the USA. All whilst taking a councillors allowance of £16,925.
He has not attended a council meeting since 9th July 2026.
His LinkedIn profile listed him as working full-time for Turner & Townsend in Indiana since December 2025 (yesterday, he closed his profile). He has had three consecutive absences and his membership of the Audit and Governance Committee ended on 26 October.
This raises serious questions about whether Saban has relocated to America, whether he is properly declaring his employment interests and how he is fulfilling his responsibilities to Nottinghamshire residents.
More seriously, there are emerging allegations concerning potential employment fraud by Saban involving multiple American companies.
It is alleged that Saban secured employment with Turner & Townsend, obtained an American work visa and relocation benefits, but subsequently failed to undertake his duties while continuing to receive his salary for approximately five months.
The allegations claim he was dismissed in May 2026 but continues to falsely list the company as his current employer. It is further alleged that he subsequently joined Rider Levett Bucknall in Indiana, where similar conduct is suspected.
It's also alleged that he worked for a company called Linesight in March and April of this year, while also working for T&T. He was apparently fired after the company found out he was working in the UK, not the US and wasn't actually working on a project.
If he was working for T&T on an E2 Visa, this would mean he was committing visa fraud by moonlighting with Linesight.
His employers also had no idea about his council role. And the question must be asked of @NottsCC, did they know about his employment in the USA?
Are there other employers he's working for without performing the contracted work? It seems Nottinghamshire Council may also be a case of him getting an allowance for work he's not doing.
One to investigate @ReformParty_UK's, @LeeAndersonMP_, he's on your patch, and you're Reform UK chair.
