🇺🇸 SpaceX may have helped Russia’s Kosmos-2612 get within 500m of ICEYE-X36, a satellite supporting Ukraine, on Oct 18. SpaceX issued a false collision alert that stopped ICEYE from maneuvering. Russia had similarly shadowed a US spy satellite in 2022, but at a much greater distance – around 70 km.
🇺🇸 Russia's Kosmos-2612 made maneuvers near ICEYE-X36 consistent with an orbital weapons operation. US arms control adviser Brian Hardesty made the statement at the UN First Committee in New York on Oct 21.
To accuse Russia of something at such a desperate time for Trump! Scandalous.
Unearthed email from Mike Rogers says that a vote for him protects Elon Musk:

In my view, Jackson is right; linking healthcare to financial affordability is essential. Susan Collins lacks independence, she is too heavily influenced by Trump, which harms the people of Maine. The situation risks worsening after the election if this dynamic persists.

Rebecca Cooke on Derrick Van Orden:
“He's gotten drunk in his official office, yelled at Senate pages, carried a loaded gun through TSA... I mean, he's really out there.”
Cooke also slams his “six votes that he took to continue this war in Iran” as Wisconsin families face rising prices.
Election interference doesn’t always begin at the ballot box. Sometimes it begins with manufactured allegations of widespread voter fraud, repeated without credible evidence until public suspicion replaces public trust. A democracy cannot function when political accusations are treated as facts.
Also Swalwell - once his shitty behavioral hit the fan, he resigned and ceased running for CA governor.
If he were GOP / MAGA he’d be claiming victimhood and running attack ads against his victims!
So hard to pick a favorite part of this article.
Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too

Scenes from the aftermath of Russia's ballistic missile strike on a university campus in Kyiv. Five students and staff were injured. That was no military target anywhere nearby. Russia's goal was to cripple the school, kill students and staff, and terrorize civilians.
Russian ballistic missiles struck a Kyiv university, injuring students and staff. The attack came hours after UN investigators concluded that Russia's deliberate strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure constituted war crimes and crimes against humanity.
All reporters should be saying to Trump: But Mr. President, anytime a Republican wins you say it's honest and anytime a Democrat wins you claim fraud. So, you will never accept an election in which a Democrat wins, right?

Young ‘uns: this stuff happened once a week during Obama’s presidency. Dijon mustard. Moving a bust of Churchill. Inviting a rapper to the White House. Putting his feet up on his desk. They’d scream and cry for days about how effete and snobby and Black he was and how misinderstood they were.

This is legit wild. One of the Trumpiest GOP kooks we’ve had holding high office here in Texas makes an absolute spot-on, beautiful, non-partisan call for government transparency against the governor’s attempt to hide his emails with Elon Musk.
