Last Thursday, appearing on the state TV program 60 Minutes, the Americanist Malek Dudakov said, “Trump will create many problems for the Europeans, not to mention that he will unload the expenditures for the Ukrainian project upon them. Let us wish success to both sides of the conflict.”

Ironically, a 2022 report by the Danish Security and Intelligence Service accused Russia of forging a letter purporting to be from Greenland’s foreign minister to Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR). The letter falsely claimed, “Our government is going to overcome all legal and political barriers... and to organize the referendum on independence of Greenland from Denmark as fast as possible.” In response, the Arkansas Republican boasted of being the one to float the idea of buying Greenland to Trump.

The goal of the forged document might have been to create a rift between NATO allies, but since Trump is enamored with the idea of taking over Greenland, Moscow’s initial plot might spectacularly backfire.

It made me feel like a worm had eaten my brain, too.

Trump also said he will move to end birthright citizenship — long enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution — which would strip rights from those born in the country to undocumented parents.

“Behind closed doors, people think she might be compromised. Like it’s not hyperbole,” one GOP aide told The Hill. “There are members of our conference who think she’s a [Russian] asset.”

“It’s not just that they’re totally unqualified, it’s that they’re anti-qualified. They are qualified to do the opposite of the thing that they are supposed to do,” Snyder said.

“Tulsi Gabbard is talking about a moment when Russian forces are approaching the Ukrainian capital. When Russian assassination squads are attempting to kill the Ukrainian head of state, and she’s advising people that all we have to do is summon up a magic word, and in effect surrender all of Ukraine to Russia,” Snyder continued. “And it’s not naïve. It sounds naïve but it’s not. What it’s doing is trying to prepare the way for more Ukrainian suffering. It’s saying, he who invades is right.”

“He’s behaving as if he’s a co-president and making sure everyone knows it,” one source said, adding that Musk is “sure taking lots of credit for the president’s victory. Bragging about America PAC and X to anyone who will listen.

“He’s trying to make President Trump feel indebted to him. And the president is indebted to no one.”

Elon Musk’s super political action committee (Pac) spent about $200m to help elect Donald Trump to a second presidency, according to a person familiar with the group’s spending, funding an effort that set a new standard for how billionaires can influence elections.

Musk’s net worth jumped $70bn since Trump’s victory in the 5 November election.

The plan worked. Trump saw key turnout surges in battleground states.

if the race were solely about their policies, Harris would win handily

A September Wall Street Journal report said the SpaceX founder and Putin have been in “regular contact” since late 2022, saying they had discussed “personal topics, business and geopolitical tensions.”

It raised national security concerns as SpaceX’s relationships with NASA and the US military may have granted Musk access to sensitive government information and US intelligence.

Walsh had written on X, formerly Twitter: “Now that the election is over I think we can finally say that yeah actually Project 2025 is the agenda. Lol”
“Matt Walsh, I think, is a very smart and funny guy,” Bannon said. “Put that everywhere,” he added, with instructions to his staff to promote the post on his social media.
Right-wing podcast Benny Johnson also gloated about the project. “It is my honor to inform you all that Project 2025 was real the whole time,” he wrote.
In a separate post, Tarrant County GOP Chair Bo French wrote, “So can we admit now that we are going to implement Project 2025?”

Miller is facing two counts of intentionally signing false certificates and one count of casting an illegal vote. It is unclear if she will still be allowed to recast her vote before Election Day.

More than half of the living US recipients of the Nobel Prize for economics signed a letter that called Vice President Kamala Harris’ economic agenda “vastly superior” to the plans laid out by former President Donald Trump.

Musk has also used his platform to go head-to-head with election officials who try to refute his conspiracies. This weekend he posted on X claiming that Michigan has more registered voters than eligible citizens. Michigan Secretary of State Joceyln Benson responded with a correction, saying that there are not more voters than citizens in the state. "There are 7.2 million active registered voters and 7.9 million citizens of voting age in our state," her post said. "@elonmusk is spreading dangerous disinformation."

Non-citizen voting is not widespread, and it is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in national elections. Non-citizens who vote can face fines, prison time, or even deportation. A Washington Post analysis of the conservative Heritage Foundation's data found that of 2 billion votes cast since 1979, there were only 85 cases involving allegations of non-citizen voting.

This week, I asked Kelly about their exchange. He told me that when Trump raised the subject of “German generals,” Kelly responded by asking, “‘Do you mean Bismarck’s generals?’” He went on: “I mean, I knew he didn’t know who Bismarck was, or about the Franco-Prussian War. I said, ‘Do you mean the kaiser’s generals? Surely you can’t mean Hitler’s generals? And he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Hitler’s generals.’ I explained to him that Rommel had to commit suicide after taking part in a plot against Hitler.” Kelly told me Trump was not acquainted with Rommel.

Elon Musk’s multimillion-dollar plan to help Donald Trump is hilariously crumbling.

Trump’s allies have been begging him to ditch Musk and his malfunctioning canvassing efforts, as conservative activists and leaders report that they’ve seen little of the efforts Musk has apparently poured $75 million into over the last few months.

According to a legal brief laid out by special counsel Jack Smith, unsealed in a federal court on Wednesday, Giuliani typed the wrong number into his phone when attempting to text a Michigan lawmaker

The central pillar of Trump’s economic plan is widespread tariffs on all imported goods, with penalties appearing to increase depending on how much he dislikes the country. Economists have warned that such a policy could have devastating effects on American consumers, who would be saddled with increased costs for all imported goods.

When questioned about the specifics of his plan, and if he was aware of its pitfalls, Trump seemed ignorant of basic economic principles, insisting that other countries, not American consumers, would pay for the tariffs.

Micklethwait tried to explain the actual impact. “Three-trillion worth of imports and you will add tariffs to every single one of them, and push up the cost for all of these people to buy foreign goods,” he said. “That is just simple mathematics.”

“We also sent equipment at the beginning of the pandemic,” Peskov said in a written response when asked about the book.
