He promised to run the country like he ran his business. It ended with Rudy Giuliani outside Four Season Total Landscaping next to a dildo shop, after a staffer mistakenly thought the empty parking lot was a Four Seasons hotel.

Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation. And reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory."

Thanks to his Supreme Court appointees, Trump breaks the law freely, but companies and private individuals should think twice before following his orders to do so themselves.

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning.
BLANCHE: That's not what it says
BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal government have telling a state not to certify?

This is more evidence for Congress, which can easily determine if Ukraine violated any terms of service. It also constitutes a tacit admission by Musk that he played a part — if not the central role — in throttling Starlink.

Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas.
He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas.
But on November 3rd, we’ll deliver a clear message to the world’s first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale.

Y’all should follow @CaitlinDoornbos, who’s reporting from Kyiv after a very humanitarian night of Russian ballistic missile and drone attacks.

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Apparently Abdul El-Sayed is a national security threat for criticizing Israel, while Steve Witkoff isn’t, even as he publicly and breathlessly kisses Vladimir Putin’s ass.
The double standards in our political and media discourse are as brazen as they are infuriating.

I grew up loathing Soviet apologists and I grow old loathing Putin apologists.

GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick says if Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of Starlink in Ukraine, "that is likely a violation of the law."
"We've gotta investigate...We've got to call the witnesses, got to bring them in, put them under oath, and get to the bottom of it. Because this is this is a very, very serious matter. It cannot be glossed over."

This is how you interview a representative of the putinist regime! Well-done, @piersmorgan
'You lost me when you said your problem with Putin is he's not using nuclear weapons... you're one screw loose from a full tool kit!'
Konstantin Malofeev claims Piers Morgan has "disappointed him" during a fiery debate on Ukraine-Russia.

So Hegseth is blaming the Ukrainians and saying Elon made the decision to downgrade Ukraine’s Starlink service? Isn’t that completely different from Rubio’s explanation that it was a technical glitch? Days into this scandal and they can’t seem to get their stories straight.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fox News' Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume just UNLOADED on Donald Trump for turning his back on Ukraine and towards Vladimir Putin. This is a must watch.

This is one of the finest, most powerful television ads I've every seen. Do American a favor and share this everywhere.
Heart, not policy papers.
Love, not hate.
Hope, not fear.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision.
More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?
Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. wsj.com/world/ukraine-starli…
