1/3 Musk ordered last week's slowdown of Starshield, which Ukraine fights on, after talking with Trump, per @WSJ. In '23 the Pentagon signed a contract with SpaceX to “prevent Musk from turning off the switch," per fmr Under Sec of Defense Colin Kahl.

Qualification #1 to work for this Administration is to be a liar and a fraud with no moral compunction whatsoever. So, she's perfect!
In 45 minutes, @KatieZacharia will hold her first press conference.
For years, she has claimed to be a lawyer. Will someone ask her if that's true and, if so, and where she is admitted to practice law?

On Dec. 3, the US plans to livestream a firing squad. If it goes forward, it will be the first public execution here in 90 years.
Here's why we stopped doing it. And why the spectacle can't become the whole story. The American death penalty is barbaric enough. A thread.

Building on @tbonier's work the most significant early vote trend we're seeing so far (yes it is early) is heightened performance among voters of color. Here's this morning's national early vote tally from #TargetEarly broken out demographically:

kidding — but the basic point is the same actually, money and attention flowing to the very top when there is so much local & state power at stake

It may be inflationary, but it’s definitely illegal.
"It's absolutely inflationary. If Joe Biden had proposed that, conservatives would've been all against it" -- GOP Sen. Cassidy on Trump's $5k checks
This is how you treat these public officials who are part of this corrupt cruel regime. This young journalist (who finished college in May) just ran circles around most well-heeled, establishment media members by simply being prepared and rejecting lies.
Wow, Luke Radel really grilled Homan here.
Radel: Do you believe that ICE should be arresting parents in front of their children at school bus stops?
Homan: Has ICE arrested parents at school bus stops?
Radel: In Bridgeport, Connecticut, last week.
Homan: I’m not aware of that. Are they in the country illegally?
Radel: He was in the country illegally for 20 years but did not commit any other crimes while in the interior of the United States.
Homan: Is he here in violation of the law?
Radel: Should he be arrested in front of his 16-year-old daughter at the school bus stop?
Homan: I’m not aware of that.
Radel: ICE confirmed it in a statement.
Homan: Here’s the issue: If the message you want to send to the whole world is, “Enter the country illegally, it’s a crime, it’s okay. If you get an order of removal, ignore it,”
Rade: What message does it send to children at school bus stops to see migrants arrested?
Homan: Have a citizen child and you’re off the table? That’s the message you want to send the whole world.
Radel: Is there anywhere that ICE won’t arrest parents of children, at the school, in a hospital and in a church?
Homan: Have we arrested somebody at a school?
Radel: At a school bus stop in Bridgeport, Connecticut?
Homan: Have we arrested somebody at a school?
Radel: I’m asking, is that a line for you to cross?
Homan: We have not arrested anybody at a school. No one’s been arrested at a church. No one’s been arrested at a hospital.
Radel: Would they be?
Homan: If you’re a significant public safety threat, national security threat, there is no sanctuary. But I point out to the fact ICE agents are doing the right thing. You can’t give me one example where someone’s been arrested in those areas.
Radel: I gave you an example of someone at a school bus stop, and you said you hadn’t heard of it.
Homan: I haven’t heard of it.
Radel: You were asked about it on CNN last week. It was at a school bus stop with their 16-year-old daughter.
Homan: I’m not aware of every arrest.
Radel: Are you going to go check on it?
Homan: I sent it to ICE to run it down and get the information.
Radel: You haven’t gotten anything back yet?
Homan: No, I have not.
Radel: Okay. Because ICE released a statement about it last week.
Homan: But the basic question is, there is no sanctuary for public safety threats and national security threats in this country…
Radel: Do you think a father who’s been here for 20 years is a national security threat to the country?
Homan: Pardon me?
Radel: Do you think that someone who’s been in the country for 20 years, has a 16-year-old daughter, has a family in the community in Bridgeport, Connecticut, are they a significant national security threat? Someone that ICE should prioritize arresting at a school bus stop?
How about all the people that have died from this illegal war, Sen. Murphy? Please don’t fall into the trap of xenophobic death tolls.
18 Americans are dead. Billions in damage to our bases. Missile supplies catastrophically low. Farm bankruptcies at record highs. Families struggling to pay $5 gas prices. Iran stronger than ever.
But "small potatoes".
Our president is dangerously delusional.
