Weird exchange about Trump's "golfing" here 👇
Q: Who did you play golf with today?
TRUMP: Ahh, just a couple of professionals
Q: Which pros?
TRUMP: I didn't play. I just hit balls for an hour. I wasn't in the mood to play.
Q: Why not?
TRUMP: Because I'm too busy
The @GOP must be thrilled that 11 days before elections, we learn that the Trump family secretly orchestrated a deal to allow Russians to drill Alaska in exchange for a $25 billion "investment" funneled through their proxies.
Elon Musk claims that Ukraine allegedly violated Starlink's terms of use and used the system on combat drones.
As someone who was inside the process at the Ministry of Defense, I can say with certainty that this is not true.
In February of this year, whitelists were introduced. Stationary terminals could be registered by both military personnel and civilians.
But for any satellite terminal to work while on the move, it had to be added to a special list and connected to the military Starshield system. Otherwise, no satellite communication terminals in Ukraine would work.
In other words, using civilian Starlink for drone missions was technically impossible. All drone missions that required satellite communication could only be carried out using Starshield.
We are very grateful to the United States and SpaceX for access to critically important satellite communications. Ukraine did not violate the terms of use.
Scott Presler in July, on 500+ voters registered at a 100-bed homeless shelter: "Preserve your records. Game on."
The Bulwark found Scott’s. GOP operatives from other states voted from his Pennsylvania house, and his own FEC donations since 2024 list a family home in Virginia.
CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.
So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?
WaPo reports that a woman featured in a $1 million Republican ad warning that an Iowa Democrat running for congress is “dangerous” for children previously pleaded guilty to child endangerment after driving drunk with her two young kids in the car. https://t.co/zbvrlOBkDr
Four days before inauguration, Trump’s family sold 49% of World Liberty Financial for $500 million to a UAE-backed entity tied to Sheikh Tahnoon. A Circle shareholder sued Thursday in D.C. federal court, alleging that deal and a later $2 billion MGX-Binance transaction settled in WLF’s USD1 stablecoin violated the Foreign Emoluments Clause.
Trump told us he needed Greenland to keep China and Russia out of the Arctic Circle.
Then he gave away Alaska's North Slope to Russia. Just ... invited his buddies in.

Nancy Pelosi made 200 stock trades in her entire 40-year political career.
Donald Trump made 28,700 stock trades in just 1.5 years as president.
MAGA likes to scream about Pelosi's stock trades but not a word about Trump using the presidency to enrich himself.
@grok verify
Just once, it would be nice to see anyone in MAGA say how terrible it is that Russia invaded Ukraine, launched a murderous war, is targeting civilians in major cities, and should stop immediately. Instead, they keep attacking Ukraine. Curious.
