“This spring, the U.S. military faced a similar dilemma in the Middle East. According to a Reuters report that cited Pentagon documents, U.S. forces used Starshield to pilot their drones for strikes against Iran. When SpaceX found out, it raised the price for Starshield service in that region from roughly $5,000 per terminal per month to $25,000. The Pentagon agreed to pay.
In Ukraine, Musk could be attempting a similar upsell.”

Some pretty interesting documents in here, including one about a newspaper reporter serving as an informant for the ADL. The reporter was given documents about the Arab League, which he then gave to the ADL.
The FBI thought the reporter in question was New York Times correspondent Joe Levy.

NEWS: Trump admin officials want US companies to accept the Russian diesel currently crossing the Atlantic.
But American firms want nothing to do with it. They’re very scared of the legal and reputational risk, industry sources tell me and @jstein_sun

Fascinating story about former Fox News novelty guest turned head of the DOJ’s Antisemitism Task Force, Leo Terrell
EXCLUSIVE: Once the public face of Trump’s pressure campaign against elite universities, Leo Terrell now leads an operation that former Justice Department interns and attorneys described as dysfunctional and isolated.

One of the wild stories I was told when researching my new book, Valley of Death, was that Palantir CEO Alex Karp had commissioned a French-language comic book starring himself as the hero.
So, of course I had to track it down.

According to an informed source, Vance’s letter to Major General Rezaei was written in a respectful, humble, and even pleading tone, a stark contrast to Washington’s public threats.
در خصوص نامه #ونس به سرلشکر #رضایی:
۱. وقتی آمریکاییها نامه مینویسند، یعنی با تهدیدهای علنی به نتیجه نرسیدهاند و حالا دارند آخرین تلاششان را از مسیر نامهنگاری میکنند. با این حال، با فضاسازی رسانهای و اعلام «آخرین مهلت پاسخ تا پنجشنبه» میخواهند خود را در موضع قدرت نشان دهند. سردار سرلشکر رضایی و جمهوری اسلامی ایران تا این لحظه تصمیمی برای پاسخ به نامه نگرفتهاند. هفت شرط ایران پابرجاست و تصمیم درباره پاسخ را منافع ملی تعیین میکند، نه مهلت اعلامی #آمریکا.
۲. نامهنگاری واشنگتن با مقامهای ایران اتفاق تازهای نیست؛ اوباما و ترامپ به رهبر شهید انقلاب نامه نوشتند، پمپئو برای حاج ق ا س م نامه فرستاد و حالا ونس به سرلشکر رضایی نوشته است. صرفِ فرستادن نامه قرار نیست محاسبات ایران را تغییر دهد.
۳. آنچه در این نامه جلب توجه میکند، لحن احترامآمیز، متواضعانه و حتی ملتمسانه آن است؛ لحنی که با تهدیدهای علنی واشنگتن زمین تا آسمان تفاوت دارد. #ترامپ میگوید موضوع نامه کمک دارویی بوده، در حالی که ایران چنین درخواستی نداشته است. به نظر میرسد آمریکاییها نگران انتشار متن نامه و آشکارشدن همین تفاوتاند. انتخاب مخاطب هم اتفاقی نیست؛ امروز واشنگتن با چنین لحنی خطاب به صدای اقتدار ایران نامه مینویسد.
