"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, U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter said. Both Musk and President Trump have expressed anger at Ukraine for attacking Russian diesel refineries in recent weeks, which the president blames for high energy prices. Last week, Musk capped the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the satellite-based network, the people said, rendering some offensive drones and interceptor drones virtually useless." @jdawsey1 @alexbward @natalieandrews wsj.com/world/ukraine-starli…

WSJ: “Some U.S. officials say that Musk acted unilaterally and that Trump didn’t specifically order any retribution against Ukraine. But a person familiar with the situation said Musk talked to multiple senior administration officials, including with Trump, before imposing the new speed cap, which Ukrainian officials said had allowed Russian missiles to evade their defenses.”

Trump and Musk have both expressed anger at Ukraine for attacking Russian diesel refineries, which Trump blames for high energy prices. Last week, Musk capped the connection speeds of Ukrainian devices, rendering some attack drones and interceptor drones virtually useless.

Listen to the Estonians, not Twitter randos.
Following Russia’s decision to temporarily restrict movement in some areas near the Estonian border, the situation across Estonia’s eastern border remains calm. Estonian authorities are monitoring developments closely and remain vigilant.

That’s the *eighth* discharge petition to reach 218 signatures this Congress, which had already seen more than any Congress in history. More on the bill: wakeuptopolitics.com/p/the-r… Another petition has 217. And Massie’s second Epstein petition only needs 21 more Ds and one more R.
Tonight I was the 218th signature on the Major Richard Star Act Discharge Petition.

Alexander Ovechkin should not be allowed back into the USA, much less the @NHL . I hope the @Capitals do the right thing and immediately release him from their team.
Ovechkin just appeared in a campaign video for United Russia — Putin's party. Standing next to him: Sergei Lavrov and Margarita Simonyan. Russia's Foreign Minister and its chief war propagandist. Keep sports out of politics, they said.

Yea, Rebecca is going to beat Kean like a drum, and it probably won’t be that close. S-Tier candidate vs a guy who literally went AWOL for three months straight. Personally very excited to get a representative who ACTUALLY shows up in my district.
