Coward keyboard warrior trillionaire flinches and puckers up when an actual human being asks a perfectly fair and respectful question.

Sick of creepy billionaires running our country through their political sock puppets? Pass the DISCLOSE Act and stop dark money.

Elizabeth Holmes whistleblower Tyler Shultz:"We told people they had HIV or cancer when they did not, expecting mothers they'd lost their unborn child when they had not.” In Arizona alone, about 175,000 patients took Theranos tests—and ten percent were later voided or corrected.

It’s amazing that MAGA labels every election result is doesn’t like as “stolen” or an example of “fraud “, but when Putin “wins” almost 90% of the vote in his crooked elections, they don’t make a peep.

Friends,
My account here, just like other Ukrainian accounts recently, is suffering from severe shadowbanning/pessimization. There has been a sharp drop in reach, as the platform's algorithms quietly remove it from search and recommendations.
My Threads account, which has 25,000 followers, currently gets more reach than my account here on X.
I will remain here and I deeply value our community. But just in case, I want to remind you that I have other platforms: Threads, Bluesky, and Telegram.

Just got out of a showing of “Musk” I drove 45 miles to see at a Simi Valley Regal, one of only three theaters within a 50-mile radius of L.A. showing it this weekend. Full house. I wish I could drag everyone I know back out here to see it.

He destroyed his country, maybe they want him to destroy the UN as well?
New: Sources from three countries confirm that the Trump Administration has advocated Viktor Orbán for UN Secretary-General.
The US has encouraged Orbán to enter the race, even bringing him the initial idea of a joint U.S.-Russia-China candidacy.

The most lawless, criminal administration in American history.
Trump’s DOJ told a judge how to rule. Then it pulled her from court. wapo.st/4BuABEM
Darline Graham says government run health care is "a bad idea," because her mom died when she was 11 and her dad a year or so later. Proving that not having govt health care is great! If you want your parents dead ASAP!
The conservative Manhattan Institute reports that almost 4 in 10 Republicans believe the Holocaust was greatly exaggerated or did not happen -- and MOST Republican men under 50 (54%) are Holocaust deniers.

Trump supporters delight in Trump’s cruelty, of course, but they also engage in their own vile speech and actions as a virtual initiation rite into the MAGA movement — it’s the way that they demonstrate that they have the "courage" necessary to take on the left.
This perversion of the concept of courage is central to the MAGA ethos. In MAGA’s account of history, the Republican Party before Trump was a collection of cowards and quislings — people who knew the right thing to do but refused to do so because they were desperate for the approval of progressives. nytimes.com/2026/10/25/opini…

Elon Musk initially denied throttling Ukraine's Starlink. Now he has admitted it and said it was because they violated terms of service.
He's a coward, and a traitor, and a liar.

Dying laughing at NBC News asking Mike Rogers if a vote for him is a vote for Trump, and HE FAKED HIS MIC CUTTING OUT TO PRETEND HE COULDN’T HEAR THE QUESTION 🤣
These people are pathetic.

He destroyed American soft power, disbanded human intelligence, and caused hundreds of thousands of children to die from starvation and disease.

According to The Economist:
"It appears to have come from a small circle around the president, Mr Musk and Steve Witkoff, the special envoy to Russia. Reports suggest Mr Musk wanted to punish Ukraine for striking Russian refineries. One official says he contacted the White House only after imposing the restrictions."
If true, this suggests Elon Musk imposed the terminal-speed restrictions unilaterally, before notifying the White House.
Congress must urgently investigate whether Musk acted without government authorization. It is unacceptable for a private citizen to exercise unilateral control over a vital military capability. Starshield is a defense system, and decisions to restrict its operational capabilities should rest with the appropriate government authorities, not the CEO of a private contractor.
This should alarm everyone.
