Challenging SpaceX’s contractual obligations in court is no answer to Elon Musk’s power over military communications, @FridaGhitis writes in her latest column for WPR. A ruling would come far too late to stop an enemy advance or the killing of civilians. wpr.pub/3UiGOCV

I can't quite tell if this is an endorsement of Abdul el-Sayed by his former opponent. Whatever it is, it's very interesting:

Putin effusively praises Musk and says they are in close contact with him as one of their American partners.
🤔 Putin on Elon Musk: Elon Musk is an industrial genius. He has more than 5,000 spacecraft in orbit. We are in close contact with our American partners, including Mr. Musk. It is important to maintain discipline and order in orbit. Both we and our American partners value this, and despite political issues, we work closely together in this field. Elon Musk is a genius, a truly brilliant man.

The election results in Israel now look very different from the exit polls. See my updated analysis. (Spoiler: Netanyahu is now ahead, but there’s a way for the opposition to succeed. ) fridainsight.substack.com/p/…

Just delightful videos of Bedouin Israeli voters riding camels to the polls, mostly to vote for Ra'am, an Islamist party with a Jewish #2 that could be the kingmaker in the election's outcome.

More than 80 percent of Americans view Russian President Vladimir Putin unfavorably, and only 4 percent favor Russia in the war in Ukraine. As columnist @FridaGhitis writes, that makes President Donald Trump’s turn toward Moscow a political liability at home. wpr.pub/486DqhB

A Jewish museum in Baghdad was not in my bingo card. Amazing!
Jewish Museum opened in Baghdad yesterday in a building that used to be a Jewish school. They had 1,000 visitors on the first day

U.S. voters are likely to punish, not reward, President Donald Trump’s increasingly open alignment with Russia in the Nov. 3 midterms—all the more so amid reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered business deals to Trump’s allies, @FridaGhitis writes. wpr.pub/486DqhB
