For the 1st time in US history SCOTUS has more rulings on its shadow docket -- unsigned and with no opinions -- than it has cases where it has heard oral arguments and issued signed rulings. IOW they are hiding their deliberations while stealing our democracy. www.propublica.org/article/supr...

U.S. arms manufacturers must be apoplectic right now, but there's nothing they can do. The credibility of U.S. arms internationally is now gone. Neither President Trump nor Elon Musk honor their commitments so no promises will matter. The loss of scale will raise U.S. defense procurement costs.
Fallout from the Starlink restrictions could hit US weapons exports such as the F-35. There were already concerns that the F-35 has a built-in software kill switch. And the US actions on Starlink just turned that risk from theoretical to something proven and real. Very costly choice by the US.

Remember when Media & Political Elite promised US that Trump was tapping into “economic anxiety” not racism?
Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

Flanagan on Tafoya: "She made a point of having ICE terrorizing our neighbors in her campaign launch video. And just days after Renee Good was killed and little Liam Conejo Ramos was taken, she went on Fox News and said ICE treats children 'really really well'...she is running to stand behind Trump"
