Moscow Musk says he can’t afford to keep giving Ukraine free Internet access even though “a Starlink cutoff would cripple the Ukrainian military’s main mode of communication” according to WaPo.
The article suggests Musk was having a peevish response to a tweet by a Ukrainian diplomat who rejected his pro-Russian peace plan by telling him to fuck off.
“But according to documents obtained by The Technology 202, the U.S. federal government is in fact paying millions of dollars for a significant portion of the equipment and for the transportation costs to get it to Ukraine.”— WaPo

Herschel Walker flashing a fake badge at the debate is emblematic of the entire charade.
He’s as much a senator as a kid dressed up as one for Halloween. #GADebate
He’s an airline pilot too, because he bought these plastic wings at ToysRus.
Michael Fanone: Josh Hawley “ran like a bitch as fast as he fucking could to the closest safe room in the fucking Capitol building."
“Little bitch” should be Hawley’s nickname.
I hope that won’t hurt the “alpha males’” delicate feelings.
Twitter has frozen Kanye’s account after his post promising to,
“go death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.”
Thank you Twitter. Would they have made the same decision if Elon Musk was in charge?
I don't think a Musk-controlled Twitter would stifle much harmful rhetoric or disinformation. You know, it's hard for me to reconcile that Twitter shows character and public interest on one hand, and yet they're ready to sell out to someone who shows none of it on the other hand.
Trump has normalized coups. The GOP boast that if their secretaries of state are elected they’ll make sure Republicans win.
They’re running for election on the platform that they will corrupt elections and overthrow democracy.
“When my coalition of secretary of state candidates get elected, we're gonna fix the whole country and president trump is going to be president again”—Jim Marchant, Republican candidate for Nevada Secretary of State
What is this “coalition” called?
Secretaries of Coup?
I don't think our Democratic elected officials are speaking loudly and often enough about the apparent alignment between the GOP and Putin. It's an abominable thing. And if the mainstream media won't sufficiently cover it on its own, our officials need to force feed it to them.
This includes the alignment between Fox and Putin, and especially between Carlson and Putin. It's one thing to embrace a totalitarian, it's another to embrace one actively engaged in murder and war crimes - against Ukraine, his own citizenry, and Democracy wherever it lives.
As Putin loses his war, loses ground, and most of all -loses face, this becomes an increasingly dangerous situation. No matter what happens, its impact politically in the US will be more accurate if the Dems don't shy away from the looming danger exacerbated by a political party.
Kanye West went on Tucker Carlson wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt and tweeted he’s going “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE”
No wonder Republicans love him.
One word, to my fellow Jews, who might happen to be Republicans:
