Ossoff: "At a rally earlier this week in Ohio, the president egged on supports who assaulted a woman demanding the release of the Epstein files. Because if you can count on one thing from this White House, it's their tireless commitment to war, inflation, and covering up sex trafficking."

And this is exactly what happens when a country relies on an unstable ally for their tech. Unfortunately the US has become an unstable ally to everyone. Well, everyone who doesn't bend the knee. Europeans are waking up, but is it too late for both them and us?#ukraine #8647 #DIgitalSovereignty

Sources identify Musk as the architect of Starshield restrictions that disrupted Ukraine’s defences during Russian attacks. Others traced the command to the White House. Musk points to Trump and the Pentagon; Trump denies either him or Musk are responsible, leaving Hegseth as a potential scapegoat.

Elon Musk reportedly proposed restrictions that crippled Ukraine’s Starshield drone defences during Russian attacks. Other sources traced the order to the White House. The deliberate slowdown raises questions about possible sabotage of Ukraine’s defences.

The world has gone mad! Folks getting arrested under the UK Terrorism Act for holding a sign that said "I oppose genocide" 🇬🇧 That is fucked up! The majority of those arrested have been pension aged women, often with disabilities. Do these folks look like terrorists? Shame on you England. #Free 🇵🇸

Today, I started the day debate prepping with my team, then watched my daughter’s soccer game, went grocery shopping, watched my son’s football practice, and made us all dinner. But yeah, I’m totally a “radical lunatic.”

Today’s music store finds. Been keeping an eye out for Dave Cousin’s “Two Weeks Last Summer” for too many years. The Early Strawbs 2-album set was a fun find too. Would love to see the rest of the collection! #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinyl #vinylcommunity #lp #records #vinylsky #music #musicsky
