EXCLUSIVE: Well before the throttling this month of Ukraine's military access to Elon Musk's satellite communications system, the Biden and Trump administrations had several times asked SpaceX to turn its Starlink service on or off in various countries

Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

Behind closed doors, the DoD has made a bad habit of classifying the minimal details they choose to tell Congress. Why? Because if it's classified, we can't talk about it and they can go on hiding the cost of this war from the public. No more. Americans deserve to know.

NEW: Current and former military leaders are bracing for the Trump administration to release its review of the Afghanistan evacuation as soon as this month, people familiar with the matter said, a move that would revive discourse of the war's closing days just before elections.

“Elon Musk approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine, The Telegraph can reveal. The billionaire tech entrepreneur approached the US president with the proposal to introduce speed limits on the system, which hampered Ukraine’s drone defences, according to four sources familiar with the discussions. One of the sources said Mr Trump “agreed” with Mr Musk’s suggestion, paving the way for the Pentagon to execute the slowdown on Starshield, the military-grade version of the satellite communications system.

Afghanistan’s leaders haven’t changed ideologically. But five years after returning to power, they have learnt from where the “first emirate” went wrong. buff.ly/z6XmSHp

Senator Blumenthal is the co author of the bipartisan Graham sanctions bill. Trump just waived it thus exempting the largest purchasers of Russian oil from any financial punishment.
Replying to @SenBlumenthal
These waivers have nothing to do with our national security, & everything to do with sucking up to Vladimir Putin. I hope my Republican colleagues will join me in condemning this craven, cowardly action. 2

Ukraine said Elon Musk’s SpaceX has imposed new limits on military-grade Starlink terminals without warning, hobbling Kyiv’s ability to conduct midrange drone attacks and intercept Russia’s new-generation jet-powered drones wsj.com/world/europe/ukraine… @AnaMalenko @macdonaldajm and Ievgeniia Sivorka

Breitbart had access to White House under Biden
In a gaggle, @VP said Trump isn't banning media outlets -- he's saying no special access to White House if those outlets engage in what is effectively far left propaganda. Vance said Politico is as anti-Trump as Breitbart was anti-Obama or anti-Biden but nobody in the media expected the Biden admin or Obama admin to give Breitbart special access. "It's about basic fairness. They can still report. They still have the access to free speech. They're just not going to get an office in the White House anymore," Vance said of ban of CNN, Politico and MSNow
