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?
“A comparable scenario would have been President Franklin Roosevelt siding with Hitler or Stalin in 1939. 'Mind-boggling that we have a president in this position'...”

Illinois has led in addressing the challenges women face in healthcare, such as menopause.
Our state already mandates insurance companies cover treatment for related disorders.

It's also the corruption crisis, the chaos crisis, & the competence crisis
No amount of billionaire money can fix that
I break it down on @ms.now 👇
The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers.
The CDC is withholding infection rates.
The FDA is withholding information about food contamination.
The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data.
This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.
Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

This is Nessie and Millie. Neither of them ever really learned how to dig, but Millie is pretty sure it's like giving CPR. 12/10 no one tell her (TT: millieandazula)
Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.
The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.
Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
Trump bought Boeing bonds while rewarding the company billions in federal contracts.

Eric is a Missouri congressman.
He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.
Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.
Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.
This is a reminder that you do not have the same 24 hours in a day as the ultra-wealthy, because they can outsource the kinds of tasks working people need to do on their day to day to get by.
This is also a reminder we need to tax 👏 the 👏 rich 👏 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/b...

Vance: "While our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far-Left."
The vicious cycle of monopolization:
1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.

4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
5) Repeat.
