I don't believe that Musk turned off Starlink to Ukraine at his own sole initiative. I believe Trump is implicated up to his painted eyebrows. But if it should be true that Musk did it - then Starlink and Space X must be nationalized by the US government immediately.

A completely unaccountable CEO shouldn't be making decisions of this profound geopolitical import. Decisions that so profoundly impact the foreign policy of the United States and the military capacity of Ukraine should be made by the U.S. and Ukraine, not a CEO.
Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. wsj.com/world/ukraine-starli…

The Acton campaign was ready for this story to come up; put out a video with her brother earlier this month. Influencers who were asking where the documentation is posted themselves into a trap…
The court records speak for themselves. Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad is disgusting—there is no lie, no scam, and no shameful act too low for him.

This response does not disavow that the Ramaswamy campaign made the ad, which is significant, as the question of who paid for the ad has not yet been verified and it has no disclaimer. It seems that if Ramaswamy's campaign did not pay for the production of the ad, they'd say so.

Donna Arthur lost custody of Amy Acton at age 12 after Acton's stepfather was charged with raping her. Arthur stayed married to him until his death. Acton and her brother have been estranged since. Multiple outlets cite 1978 court records of the charges. actonforgovernor.com/dr-amy-actons-… dispatch.com/story/news/pol…

.@amyactonoh on Vivek Ramaswamy's abhorrent campaign ad: "I won't normalize somebody who has said that my childhood is 'something I'm just complaining about,' who today, just released an ad using my birth mother, who I was removed from at the age of 12 for severe abuse and neglect and sexual abuse... The words our leaders use matter and I think it's gonna take courage right now from all of us to stop normalizing this sort of rhetoric."

The conservative National Review confirms that Amy Acton was sexually abused by her stepfather, along with this: "Donna Arthur also has her own criminal history, including pleading guilty to theft by deception while living in Pennsylvania in the 1990s and being accused of animal abuse as recently as 2021." nationalreview.com/news/amy-…

If you needed proof the polls are accurate in Ohio GOV, here it is. You don’t go this dirty unless you are desperate.
Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad. "After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died. This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."

God this guy is such a complete and utter moron. Trump just called for New Mexico to be renamed New America. Does he realize how stupid this sounds? Is he claiming that the State is the "New America"? What, did he destroy the original America?

Hume: The president has been out campaigning vigorously, but I'm not sure it's making any difference and what difference it would make I'm not sure is helping.  In Texas, he is calling James Talarico “Tala-freak-o.” He is not a freak. You see him. He seems mild mannered and pleasant and not an unattractive candidate.  This cuddling up to Vladimir Putin at this moment… I don’t think that plays well. The American public can’t stand Putin. And this fiasco with the press secretary…

French authorities acknowledge they have “lost control” in major cities as widespread protests, violence and unrest grip the country, prompting calls for curfews to restore order. The unrest has also disrupted major landmarks, with the Louvre Museum in Paris closing after protesters announced a blockade, while a towering spire in Limoges collapsed in flames. nbcnews.com/world/europe/fra…
