Good morning! An absolute stunner sunrise today—best I’ve seen on this trip Down Under!

Totally worth getting up at 4 am for.

i always like to remind people that the european commission's (admirable) push for one common phone charger is also what gave us one of the most batshit bananas pieces of political communication i have ever seen in my life

🔎🇷🇺 Our new analysis reveals the scale of Russia’s massive propaganda offensive in Moldova:

134 activists managing 30 Telegram channels, receiving €2.8M until the first half of 2025.

9,900 AI-generated TikTok videos with over 93 million views.

24/7 Russian Propaganda Blitz Hit Moldova Before the Elections - VSquare.org

Moldovans had faced months, if not years, of an information onslaught at levels beyond what just about any society has faced. In the end, the pro-European ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) won 50.2% of the vote, while the pro-Russian Patriotic Bloc managed only 24.2%, despite well-documented foreign interference, mainly from Russia and pro Kremlin actors.

For the first time, the avg new car costs >$50,000. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/13/n...

It's making more and more sense for families to use a relatively cheap e-bike or golf cart in lieu of a 2nd or 3rd car. Detroit should be nervous.

Why car companies should fear the golf cart

Automakers are churning out vehicles that are bigger and more expensive—but that might soon reach a breaking point.

shocking how easy it is when you actually see it done

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.
