Elon Musk spent over $100 million to send Trump back to the White House. Now, he could reap major financial rewards, raising potential conflict of interest at the highest levels of government https://t.co/coe4Ra0chA via @WSJ Elon eliminates roadblocks to his goals. He has far more in mind than easy money.

Mike Rogers is fundamentally missing the mark by suggesting that benefit cuts or raising the retirement age are the only paths forward. Instead of placing the burden on those who rely on these programs most, we should be focused on closing tax loopholes for the ultra-wealthy and strengthening the Social Security trust fund to ensure it remains sustainable for future generations. True leadership requires looking at real economic solutions, like taxing extreme wealth and adapting to a changing workforce, rather than resorting to policy failures that undermine the security of our seniors. Reducing support is not a solution; it is an abandonment of our responsibility to the people who have built this country.

If you haven’t watched this yet please do.

I don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat, if this doesn’t move you to vote against the current state of affairs nothing will.

Our grandchildren will watch this clip in history class, to better understand the political climate during Trumpism.

Can the world still trust America? | Martin Wolf on the US midterms | FT https://t.co/YDZbzBp4ar via @YouTube. The answer is that they can't trust America. This article sums the problem very well.

Americans should leave his stupid monuments to himself as a reminder of what has happened to the World under his watch. Germany left its bombed out churches. Japan left effects of the bomb. England remembers King Charles the First. America should always remember Trump.

Hegseth wanted Eisenhower’s globe for his office. His staff broke it. https://t.co/oX8tVQmJvt Hegseth is a central casting idea of a military leader. He organizes public spectacles and fails at tasks that Two Men and a Truck could do any day. God help our troops.

Ukraine and the West need this Canadian system.

[United Canada 🇨🇦 @UnitedCanucks26]

Canada's $2.3B pivot away from Starlink isn't just about internet-it's a massive warning shot to Elon Musk over Ukraine.
PM Mark Carney directly cited Musk's sudden service cuts and data restrictions to Ukraine as the exact reason Canada must achieve total strategic autonomy. No ally wants to rely on one unpredictable billionaire who can pull the military plug during a war.
Canada isn't just protecting itself. The $2.3B contract expands Ottawa-based Telesat Lightspeed into a military-grade satellite network meant for secure Arctic and NORAD defense.
Telesat confirmed they plan to deploy this secure system directly to Ukraine and other allied nations.
Canada is literally funding the un-pluggable backup system Ukraine has been looking for. 🇨🇦

BREAKING: George W. Bush's brother Neil just dropped a BOMB on MAGA by proudly announcing that he voted for James Talarico in the Texas Senate race.

This just gave Republicans a flashing green light to vote blue...

"I have never posted a political message on Facebook not wanting to offend friends whose views may be very different than mine. I'm breaking that tradition because I voted early today, and I voted for James Talarico for the United States Senate," Bush, the child of the late President George H.W. Bush wrote on Facebook.

"My vote was motivated by two things: deep concern about Ken Paxton's record and genuine admiration for the character and principles I see in James Talarico," he continued.

"I have been deeply troubled by Paxton's conduct as Texas Attorney General, particularly his decision to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election in other states in an effort to help Donald Trump remain in power. I believe that effort was an affront to our democratic institutions and the peaceful transfer of power. My concerns about his judgment and conduct are hardly mine alone. He was impeached by the Republican-controlled Texas House, although subsequently acquitted by the Texas Senate."

"More broadly, I believe Donald Trump and those who have enabled him have done enormous damage to the Republican Party. I worry about a political culture in which loyalty to an individual takes precedence over loyalty to principle, and where those who hold power begin to believe they are no longer accountable."

"But my vote today was about much more than opposition to Ken Paxton."

"I've never met James Talarico, but I have been enormously impressed by the way he approaches complicated and controversial issues. He speaks with respect, seeks common ground, and seems genuinely interested in bringing people together rather than driving them apart. His faith appears to be a deeply rooted source of humility, compassion, and conviction rather than a political weapon."

I see in him the qualities I admire most in public servants: integrity, civility, humility, and a willingness to listen to those with whom he disagrees. My impression is that he is a principled, pragmatic leader who understands that public office is a responsibility to serve, not an entitlement to power."

"I have been a Republican for most of my life, and I still believe deeply in many traditional Republican principles. But character matters more than party affiliation. Our democracy depends on leaders who respect our institutions, tell the truth, accept accountability, and seek to unite rather than divide."

"Today, I voted against a style of politics that I believe has damaged our country. More importantly, I voted for the kind of character and leadership I hope will help heal it," he concluded.

Bravo, Mr. Bush! We commend you for speaking out boldly during these crucial midterm elections. Ken Paxton is a stone-cold crook who was impeached for bribery by his own party as state attorney general. He has zero interest in serving the people of Texas if he wins and will instead work to line his own pockets, accumulate personal power, and rubber-stamp Trump's destructive agenda.

Meanwhile, James Talarico is a devout Christian who is committed to fighting for better healthcare, an end to pointless wars, livable wages, more housing construction to restore the American Dream, and banning Congressional stock trading.

The Bush family still wields a great deal of influence in Texas, so this announcement is sure to cause political shockwaves. If you're a Republican who genuinely loves this country, it's time to cross the aisle and vote for James Talarico.

Please ❤️ and share to thank Neil Bush!

Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter said https://t.co/DA6QeQhGHk via @WSJ It's hard to tell if Elon is making a mistake or not. It is not hard to determine that his decisions don't align with Western policies. Canada is starting its own competitor to Starlink. Others will do the same. SpaceX should be working with the U.S. Space Force in creating a major weapons system to defend Starlink satellites. Failing that connection, SpaceX should deal with its own security.

Capital chased the physical-AI stack this week. SoftBank weighed an $18 billion purchase of security giant Allied Universal to put robots on guard duty, Omron agreed to buy industrial-PC maker OnLogic for about $675 million, and Stryker committed $400 million to CMR Surgical. NEURA Robotics released Neuron AI, its first foundation model, while DeepSeek made its first venture investment in robotics and AgiBot moved toward a 50 billion yuan valuation.

@JoelVinette That is a smart move for Canada.

[Joël.Arts.Paints This is our Canada 🇨🇦 @JoelVinette]

Canada is officially cutting ties with Elon Musk's Starlink.
Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed Canada is moving away from Starlink, heavily backing a $2.3B contract for homegrown rival Telesat Lightspeed instead.
We have the best PM hands down! 🇨🇦👏

@SenatorSlotkin Michigan is not benefiting from Trump's actions. Our auto industries are linked to Canada. How can they function without essential pieces of their products?

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

How is manufacturing doing? Well, Michigan has lost 12,000 manufacturing jobs in the year and a half since President Trump took office.

President Trump’s economic policies are certainly contributing to the loss of these manufacturing jobs. I break it down.

Just had this conversation with Copilot https://t.co/shURNOWtK8

Trump may have been played in the diesel deal. We should watch for actual delivery of Diesel fuel.

We should also watch for benefits to the Trump family and to special friends.
