“There has never been a greater president for <insert cause or group> than President Trump and his strong record proves it.” How many years have they used this same propaganda form letter to issue their statements? And they never seem to be able to provide any examples.

Stop complaining peasants! The economy is great according to this grinning twat. “… fact that people aren’t losing their jobs. All the things that made the economy great means that affordability crisis is a myth…Americans are a trillion dollars better off than when Trump took office.” - Hassett

OBAMA: He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. It's gold everywhere.

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Ukraine reported Starlink problems Friday, losing drones and limiting strikes on Russia. Thursday, Trump claimed Musk had restored service. Friday, he admitted he hadn’t even spoken to Musk.

The tax rate for the top 1% needs to be at whatever amount is necessary to prevent anyone from doing this ever again

This is called treason, and it used to be a serious crime with consequences. But as we all have learned over and over, the laws do not apply to Trump.

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

So blatant corruption and accepting bribes in the BILLIONS by Jared Kushner gets revealed…and like always, not a damn things will come of it. I don’t think we are nearly mad enough at the two-tiered justice system; the rich can do whatever they want while the rest of us have laws.

David Earl Williams III@dewforpolitics.bsky.social

A Vanity Fair excerpt says Jared Kushner’s iPhone was hacked, and it was discovered that he had promised Saudi and UAE leaders influence over Trump in exchange for billions; Iran separately accused Kushner and Steve Witkoff of $9 billion in market manipulation.

There is a disturbing trend being seen in early voting. Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio are reporting difficulties getting the machines to accept democratic votes. The machines change them back to Republican unless the voter persists, pressing several times to get the correct vote to go through.

Check, double check, and triple check your votes! The Republicans seem to be doing all they can to rig the midterms and I have no doubts they changed votes in past elections.

Aiding and abetting the enemy is...(checks notes)...called treason. Causing innocent civilians to be killed is...(checks notes)...called crimes against humanity and a war crime. Seriously, what the fuck is being done in our name, with our money?

And it is only costing Elon less than 2/100th’s of one percent of his wealth to try to buy it. To you and me, $168 million spent on one seat is massive, but to Elon it is pocket change.

James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social

Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas. But on November 3rd, we’ll deliver a clear message to the world’s first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale.

Elon Musk ordered the Starlink slowdown that impacted Ukraine…our ALLY! Trump and Musk are both aiding and abetting Putin, our enemy. In a sane USA, that would be treasonous behavior and have consequences.

Oh look, possible election rigging in Texas. In any case, don’t doubt the potential for Republican fuckery and double check your ballots no matter what state you are voting in!

Ah yes, all of the costs and prices that have skyrocketed up over the last two years were actually from Biden and the Democrats before the last two years. And he sure created the greatest economy…if you are in the top 10%, otherwise you are way worse off.

Some corporate Democrats and pundits think the party has gone too far "left" and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

Not to mention Elon is probably lying and has no intention of giving anything to every kid in America.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

"And then they hit me with the word. They said affordability. Affordability! In other words, like it was my fault. I just got there. And they've been hitting me with that word for the last year, every time something's a little high." Yeah, he just got there…two years ago!

Oh no, the horror of everyone having healthcare. You better vote Republican so only the rich people get it, right? Can the DNC just use Trump’s own words in their campaign ads please?

Tesla Roadster “pre-order” terms and conditions: 1. Thrust versions not approved for public road use aka not road legal. 2. Exact price not known yet, but give us $5k today and another $250k-$500k within 10 days. 3. No guarantee that your car will actually be delivered.

Not really happy that the US government has decided to embrace Putin and ally itself with Russia. This is treason and a betrayal of our ally. What the hell is wrong with us?

It shouldn’t be this close Texas. So sad how gullible, and easily manipulated, too many voters still are nowadays. It doesn’t help that ONE person can spend ONE ONE HUNDRETH of ONE PERCENT of their wealth to spread lies and misinformation to influence it!

That is .015% of his wealth spent to influence an election. That would be like a person with $100,000 in total wealth spending $15. Are we clear why this a big problem?

If the dems take power deporting this jackass should be job number one.

Trump is a traitor. He is in bed with, and actively aiding, our enemies. This starshield slowdown is merely the latest example.

alexjungle.bsky.social@alexjungle.bsky.social

Breaking news: The order to restrict "Starshield" for Ukraine came directly from the White House, Reuters reports. According to the news outlet's sources, Pentagon leadership was instructed to throttle the operation of SpaceX’s "Starshield" for the Ukrainian military.

Sikorski berates Musk as Starlink limits disrupt Ukraine’s drone campaign

eualive.netSikorski berates Musk as Starlink limits disrupt Ukraine’s drone campaignPolish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has publicly challenged Elon Musk after SpaceX imposed unannounced speed restrictions on military-grade Starlink (StarShield) terminals used by Ukrainian forces, disrupting mid-strike drone operations and interceptor missions against Russian drones. Trump says U.S. still sharing intel, even as Ukraine reports attacks with no warnings On Wednesday, Sikorski quote-tweeted a Kyiv Independent report and addressed Musk directly: “Hey, @elonmusk, big man, are you playing politics with your products again? As your European customers, we are watching you.” The “big man” phrasing deliberately echoes their 2025 public clash, when Musk told Sikorski to “be quiet, small man” after the Polish minister noted that Warsaw – not SpaceX as charity – pays for the service. Hey, @elonmusk , big man, are you playing politics with your products again? As your European customers, we are watching you. https://t.co/T385xpUEUu — Radosław Sikorski 🇵🇱🇪🇺 (@sikorskiradek) October 14, 2026 Ukrainian officials confirmed the restrictions hit overnight without warning. Presidential adviser Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov said SpaceX limited the StarShield military package so that terminals lose connectivity above 100 mph (160 km/h). Ukraine’s 7th Air Assault Corps reported connectivity drops of 10–20 seconds even at 110–120 km/h, forcing cancellation of missions in the Huliaipole sector. Some military sources later indicated further tightening, with dropouts beginning at 60–70 km/h. Ordinary civilian terminals were reportedly unaffected. Beskrestnov stated that “this action cannot be a coincidence and is associated with the current political situation.” The move arrives amid a sharp deterioration in the broader diplomatic and operational environment. Recent days have seen Trump announce a controversial arrangement involving Russian diesel, pressure Kyiv to halt deep strikes on Russian energy infrastructure (citing effects on U.S. consumers and prices), calls for Zelenskyy to step aside, and a unilateral “energy ceasefire” announcement that surprised both sides. Musk himself posted that “Zelenskyy has gone too far.” Ukrainian forces rely on Starlink for real-time control of longer-range drones that target Russian logistics in occupied areas, as well as for interceptor drones against jet-powered Shaheds. Disrupting moving terminals directly impairs that capability. Dropping Ukraine, not just Zelenskyy Poland is the primary funder of Ukraine’s Starlink network. Warsaw has supplied more than 29,000 terminals since the full-scale invasion and continues to cover operating costs—previously estimated by Sikorski at roughly $50 million per year. Sikorski has repeatedly described the arrangement as one of Poland’s most effective investments in Ukraine’s defence and has warned before that unreliable service could force Warsaw to seek alternatives. In an August 2026 exchange over roaming restrictions affecting Polish users, he again referenced the annual outlay and the possibility of reconsideration. This episode is a direct continuation of the tensions EUalive has tracked in recent days. While Trump has stated that the United States continues to share intelligence with Ukraine, Kyiv has reported Russian ballistic-missile strikes (including on energy and residential targets in the capital) that arrived with little or no prior warning from partners. Ukrainian officials have linked both the intelligence-warning issues and the Starlink throttling to U.S. pressure over refinery strikes and the broader political climate involving the Trump–Putin contacts. No public response from Musk or SpaceX had been reported at the time of writing. Ukrainian and Polish officials have not presented documentary evidence that the speed limits were ordered from Washington, but the timing, the exclusive focus on the military package, the absence of prior notice, and the explicit political framing by Ukrainian advisers have fuelled the perception that Starlink is being used as leverage. For Europe the incident underscores a structural vulnerability: a critical wartime communications backbone for Ukraine, largely financed by a NATO ally, remains subject to the decisions of a single private company whose owner is closely aligned with the current U.S. administration. Sikorski’s “we are watching” warning is both a reminder of Poland’s financial role and an indication that continued restrictions could accelerate European efforts to reduce dependence on Starlink for military use.
