On Sept. 17, former President Donald Trump criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for signing a six-week abortion ban back in April.
What he did is a terrible thing
and a terrible mistake, Donald Trump, via NBC's 'Meet the Press'.
Trump went on to suggest that if he was reelected
as president, he'd come up with better abortion restrictions that more people would support.
DeSantis responded by calling Trump
"a different candidate today than he was"
when he first sought the nation's highest office.
I think he's taking positions that
I think are different from what
he took in 2015 when he first
came onto the scene. , Ron DeSantis, to ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis.
And I do think he's a different candidate
today than he was back then. And I think
the one back then was probably closer
to where Republican voters want to
be than the latest iteration, Ron DeSantis, to ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis.
When asked if he thinks Trump is really against abortion, DeSantis replied, "Well, you tell me.".
I think that if you have something where you have a baby that has a detectable heartbeat, if you're pro-life, you would want to say that there should be protections there. , Ron DeSantis, to ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis.
And if he's saying, 'That's a terrible thing' -- I know most pro-life voters would think that he's wrong, Ron DeSantis, to ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis

The action was reportedly taken because Musk was worried that attacking the Black Sea fleet would escalate conflict and possibly lead to nuclear war. .
Mykhailo Podolyak, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's adviser, took to
X to condemn Musk's order.
By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military (!) fleet via #Starlink interference, @elonmusk allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities, Mykhailo Podolyak, President Volodymyr Zelensky's adviser, via X.

The Starlink regions in question were not activated. SpaceX did
not deactivate anything, Elon Musk, via X.
There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol. The obvious intent being to sink most of
the Russian fleet at anchor, Elon Musk, via X.
If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war
and conflict escalation, Elon Musk, via X.
In Isaacson's book, Musk says that
"Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars.".
It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things,
