JD Vance: "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum"

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Elon taking his SpaceX IPO and setting it on fire by strangling Ukraine's connection as countries rush to build alternatives. "The more you play politics with your products, the more you damage your brand,” Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said to Musk on X www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Trump says he "certainly" will do business with Russia after the war ends

🧵I'm going to say this carefully -my heart aches for those now mourning -every unnecessary death is a tragedy -what did you expect from ppl at the sharp end of guns & bulldozers? -in early Oct, Israeli military+settlers killed 5 Palestinians in the WBank & 57 in Gaza—why isn't that "breaking news"?

⚡️️️️️️️Amid Starlink crisis, Finnish tech giants announce plan to help Ukraine build its own sovereign satellite system. "Ukraine needs secure, sovereign, and high-performance satellite communications systems that it controls," ICEYE CEO Rafal Modrzewski said.

See... This is how you write a headline.

It's a choice (a bad one) to tell readers this driver "passed too close to cyclists" when there's video evidence showing he drove his car into them, made contact and hurt someone. Fellow journalists: we can explore the nuances of punishment for drivers without obfuscating their dangerous behavior.

Adam Hamilton: With all of those undocumented children that you delivered, did you also call ICE and ask them to be taken away?

I wonder how many Republicans who lose their elections all around the country will be living at their real homes in Florida next year?

So many “errors” at Meta lately, huh?

A U.S. envoy calling murderer Putin a humanitarian while visiting him in Kremlin — when after failing to achieve his military goals, Putin directs Ukrainian civilians to be hunted in the streets or executed in their own homes. Kids will read about this one day and ask: what was everyone else doing?

Tantalizing new clue here from @markalfred.bsky.social on the failed “deportation fleet.” I first reported in February that DHS contractor (a former Noem donor) overpaid for the planes, starting last December. gillianbrockell.com/noems-luxury...

Replace "Boeing 737s" with "empty warehouses" and you've got the same play that DHS under Noem pulled. And a source on background told us in February the sales were meant to help well-connected Trump affiliates offload industrial properties that were liabilities on their books.

The numbers coming in from Alberta are wild. Traditionally conservative blue Calgary voted in numbers as high as 89% to support Canada. The separatist gang were crushed. Sucks to be you Danielle Smith and Pete Hoekstra.

Breaking: Elon Musk ordered the Starlink slowdown that blindsided Ukraine on.wsj.com/4sgcxkt

He should not be allowed to have any government contracts--he is operating like a rogue state.

Russians have just targeted civilian cars on the Kyiv-Odesa highway, murdering 3 people. The U.S. is still limiting Starlink ability and people are dying.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Russia is buying up "holiday homes" right next to critical NATO airfields and naval bases. Intel officials warn these "Trojan horse" properties are being used as launchpads for surveillance, drone deployment, and grey-zone sabotage. Read how the Baltic region is fighting back 👇

BREAKING WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relied on.

What distinguishes the 1% from the merely affluent? How about having a third child. New post on a topic I've long been fascinated by, the economics and financing of having a third kid, where I finally felt bold enough to go into the latest SCF microdata to get a good answer. /1

For 4.5 years, Putin apologists have insisted everyone must let Russia to do imperialism or Russia will destroy the world along with themselves in a nuclear hellfire. And despite 4.5 years of Ukraine resisting Russia’s aggression with outside support without that happening, they keep saying it.

Karen Bass is making something very clear. An oil company donating to an outside group supporting her reelection does NOT mean she asked for it, approved it, or can control it. She’s legally prohibited from coordinating w/that committee. And now she’s publicly telling them to “TAKE THE MONEY BACK”

Translation: they will do absolutely nothing about an American journalist getting brutally attacked. They don’t care. They probably enjoyed it. @marcorubio is a bad joke.

We stand by our front page from two years ago. Trump’s re-election empowered Putin and far right forces like Farage. Tragically true. Be prepared for what is to come. Europe will have to stand alone subscribe.bylinetimes.com/product/dece...

My teenage children, who have never set foot in NYC, go around saying "Help me, Mamdani!" whenever anything goes wrong and/or they can't figure out their homework, just to give everybody a sense of the scale of this man's presence in the culture lol

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.

TRUMP’S DOJ WANTS TO FREEZE 20,000 CALIFORNIA VOTES They’re demanding that ballots be set aside until voters’ citizenship can be verified. 📌 No public proof these 20,000 voters are noncitizens. 📌 No confirmation they’ve even been notified. #VoteEarlyOnNoKings

FLASHBACK: “No puppet.” Russia was never a hoax. Hillary warned us.
