If you’ve been trying to get on X today and are having trouble, you’re not alone. It appears that the left’s assault on Elon Musk's enterprises has taken a disturbing digital turn. X has suffered an unprecedented three major outages in a single day, with a mysterious hacker group called "Dark Storm Team" brazenly claiming responsibility for what appears to be a coordinated attack on conservative free speech. Users worldwide encountered a barrage of technical difficulties: login failures, content loading problems, and widespread access disruptions. Elon Musk addressed the attacks Monday afternoon. “There was (still is) a massive cyberattack against 𝕏,”

Well, if anybody can figure this "cyber attack" and its perpetrators, it's Elon and his team. 1. Identify/Ping 2. Counterattack 3. Engage and destroy 4. Prosecute to the fullest

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced Monday on social media that he is cutting multiple diversity equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, resulting in billions in taxpayer savings. How some of these programs benefited the environment is anybody’s guess: …Lee Zeldin said on Monday he canceled 400 environmental justice and diversity, equity and inclusion grants totaling $1.7 billion in the Trump administration's latest crackdown on DEI initiatives. The EPA did not immediately respond to a request for comment on details about the cancellation. Since taking office on January 20, Republican President Donald Trump has passed executive orders aimed at dismantling DEI in the government and private sector.

Newsweek reached out to the White House via email for comment. Egg prices have skyrocketed to historic levels over the past year, with wholesalers

Ruth Marcus is leaving the Washington Post. What a loss. What a loss. Marcus is one of the many liberal columnists at the Post who are upset at Jeff Bezos' decision to move the paper's Opinion Page in a more liberty-friendly direction, promoting free market ideas and personal liberty rather than the soft-socialism usually found on the pages of the Post. In one way I applaud Marcus for taking a stand for principle; in another, I am inclined to roll my eyes. As a 66-year-old she is a spring chicken by Washington standards, hardly eligible by age to become a junior Senator.

The Trump administration’s pulling of $400 million in grants and contracts has reverberated through the world of higher education. Harvard has announced a hiring freeze, although they don’t quite call it that. The language is turgid, but the point comes through: Universities throughout the nation face substantial financial uncertainties driven by rapidly shifting federal policies. Yes, we now have an administration that is opposed to anti-Semitism. Effective immediately, Harvard will implement a temporary pause on staff and faculty hiring across the University.

The attack comes, predictably, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Nat Sec Advisor Mike Waltz and President Trump envoy Steve Witkoff arrive in Saudi Arabia for preliminary face-to-face talks with Ukraine officials. [Snip] 60+ drones launched against Russia’s largest city is intended to draw a major retaliation from Russian President Vladimir Putin, that is what the UK/EU and NATO apparatus want.
