Musk blames ‘massive cyberattack’ for X outage

Musk blames ‘massive cyberattack’ for X outage

Elon Musk said his social media platform X was targeted in a “massive cyberattack” on Monday, prompting outages for thousands of users.

“There was (still is) a massive cyberattack against X,” Musk wrote on the platform Monday afternoon. “We get attacked every day, but this was done with a lot of resources. Either a large, coordinated group and/or a country is involved. Tracing…”

"Massive cyberattack" is quite the stretch but Musk has made a massive amount of enemies, including in his own companies, much more massive than this minor cyberattack.

Trump's Envoy Says Zelenskyy Apologized To Trump, In Writing.

President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky apologized to Trump in a letter after a explosive public argument during an Oval Office meeting.

“Zelensky sent a letter to the president. He apologized for that whole incident that happened in the Oval Office,” Witkoff said Monday on Fox News. “I think that it was an important step and there’s been a lot of discussion between our teams and the Ukrainians and the Europeans who are relevant to this discussion as well.”

Something's Gotta Give. We May See An "Et Tu, Brute?" Moment.

President Donald Trump reportedly intervened in the ongoing feud between Steve Bannon and Elon Musk, asking his former chief strategist to dial back his attacks on the billionaire.

The revelation, first reported by New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman on Sunday, comes amid growing tension within the MAGA movement as Trump navigates competing loyalties between the populist wing and the ultra-wealthy allies who now occupy key roles in his orbit.

Rep. Jamie Raskin: "Really, if we were censuring anyone, it should've been Donald Trump, who I don't think had been back to our chamber since he incited a violence insurrection against us. And then he used his pulpit in order to call a sitting member of the Senate 'Pocahontas.'"

SCOTUS Did The Right Thing? Really?

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a lawsuit from 19 Republican-led states seeking to block climate change lawsuits filed against the oil and gas industry by Democratic-led states.

The justices declined to hear the unusual Republican effort to challenge Democratic states for using their own courts to sue fossil fuel companies over allegations of misleading the public about the environmental risks of their products.

U.S. Stock Market Continues To Plunge and It's Not Biden's Fault.

U.S. stocks dropped in early trading on Monday, suffering widespread losses a day after President Donald Trump declined to rule out the possibility of a recession.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 515 points, or 1.2%; while the S&P 500 declined 1.4%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq plummeted nearly 2%.

Tesla, the electric carmaker led by Elon Musk, sank nearly 6%. United Airlines and Delta each fell more than 5.5%.

He’s with the U.S. Air Force. He doesn’t share much—perhaps mindful of what could be misconstrued.

I thank him for his service.

He asks my name and where I’m from.

“Canada,” I say, proudly.

He looks down for a moment, then says softly, “I’m sorry.”

“Thank you for that,” I reply. “We’ll handle it just fine.”

This wasn’t just any American. Yet, here he was, expressing regret—an unspoken apology for what his Commander-in-Chief is doing. - Dimitris Soudas

Trump threatens tariffs on Canadian dairy, lumber products as soon as Friday

President Trump said his administration could impose reciprocal tariffs on Canada for dairy products and lumber as early as Friday amid a mounting trade war between the two nations.

The fact Trump is getting really pissy and swearing at PMJT absolutely shows you he overplayed his hand with tariffs and thought Canada would fold fast and easily.

EU leaders hold emergency Ukraine talks after Trump suspends aid

European Union leaders are holding emergency talks to agree on ways to quickly increase their military budgets after the Trump administration signaled that Europe must take care of its own security and also suspended assistance to Ukraine.

I Truly Believe That Trump & Musk Enjoy This Cruelty
The newly installed caretaker at the Social Security Administration acknowledged this week that Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service is calling the shots as the agency races to slash thousands of jobs and shrink its budget, telling a group of advocates, “Things are currently operating in a way I have never seen in government before.”

Rep. Richard Neal: The average benefit is $24,000. That means half the people who get Social Security get less than $24,000 a year.

That's less than 400 bucks a week.

So for me, not a dime to be cut from Social Security, not a dime.
