She was absolutely right. And she would have been an amazing President.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Emergency member states' meeting later today. If Trump's unhinged threats over Greenland have one positive effect it's to drive home the point that a trade deal with the US isn't worth the paper it's written on. The US has gone rogue and that's becoming clear to even the most timid European leaders.

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was intentionally trying to destroy the United States, how could you tell the difference?

A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

When one makes up that many lies it's inevitable the lies will conflict with each other. It's more proof that it's all been lies.

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

Die US-Sanktionen gegen Anna-Lena von Hodenberg und Josephine Ballon von HateAid sind inakzeptabel. Hier geht es nicht nur um zwei Kämpferinnen gegen Hass im Netz, sondern um einen Angriff auf Europas Recht im digitalen Raum. Wir müssen die Demokratie im Netz mit dem DSA verteidigen. Mehr denn je!

🇷🇺🇫🇮🇺🇦 “The Russian economy is actually not doing that well. They have zero growth, they are out of reserves, they have high interest rates and high inflation. And it’s not improving.” - Alexander Stubb President of Finland

You would think they’d be better at this with the consequences being so high.

The Epstein file is the only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of

🇪🇺⚖️🇵🇱 Revenge is a dish best served cold (and after five years). Moments ago, CJEU, in the case Commission v. Poland, found that the Polish Constitutional Tribunal has not only violated EU law with its anti-EU rulings, but also was (is) not an independent court established properly by law. 1/

Orban is pleading publicly with his boss Putin not to punish him in a letter he wrote after the EU overrode his veto on frozen Russian assets. He also said Hungary's "loyal cooperation" with the EU on sanctions was over. Is he suggesting he was loyally cooperating before?🤔

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

An incredible story from @shaneharris.bsky.social - on the Iranian cyber officer he once knew. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

First thing I heard this morning is attached comment. That was his pay me notice. www.reuters.com/business/med...

The Kremlin is praising the new US security strategy. Any questions?

Today is the meeting of the German #competition #law association. The key note speaker is the head of the Federal Cartel Office, president Andreas Mundt.

It’s the annual meeting of the German association of competition law again. A great opportunity to meet friends and colleagues. The board head just announced that the number of members has risen to 1,700!

One of the four elements of malignant narcissism is sadism.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

The House and Senate are both investigating Pete’s war crimes

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

29 November 1929 | A Czech Jew, Tibor Taglicht, was born. As a refugee he went to Norway. He was deported to #Auschwitz with his sister Vera in March 1943. He was selected as able to work. He asked to stay with his younger sister. They were both murdered in a gas chamber.

I’ll spare you the rest of Trump’s statement where he calls Tim Waltz the R-word & hate mongers immigrants— On a day meant for gratitude, he ranted about “vermin,” & vengeance. It’s the clearest reminder yet — there is no moral bottom too low or autocratic line he won’t cross

There is seriously something wrong with this man. Also, he is devoid of any joy. He is bitter and rotten to the core. This post proves it. Basically a shit for brains.

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

So the US was aware that the world thought the document was US endorsed, yet waited until now to clarify that it wasn't? How could the US have communicated to Ukraine that they had to accept the proposal or lose US support without clarifying that the Russian proposal wasn't actually their proposal?

Be in no doubt that this is a perilous moment. America’s proposal prescribes a deeply insecure future for Ukraine and richly rewards Vladimir Putin’s aggression

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

Lindsey Halligan, the attorney selected by Donald Trump to bring criminal charges against James Comey, has never prosecuted a case. But, like Trump, she did get her start in reality TV — with a brief cameo on South Beach Tow. Here is Halligan’s newly resurfaced TV moment:

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

🚨BREAKING: Federal prosecutors admitted Wednesday that the grand jury handling the criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey never reviewed or voted on the final indictment used to charge him — a virtually unprecedented revelation that could topple the entire case.
