Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator? This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins. It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia. The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

Ukraine keeps defying the possible through tactics we have never seen before. We must keep putting pressure on Russia. Speaking with @phillipspobrien.bsky.social

Hackers destroy 43 TB of data connected to Russia’s unified military registration system, setting back its development by “several months” The group also accessed an internal call of one of the system's developers — the Kazan-based company Mikord — which confirmed the extent of the breach.

I chatted with the great Maddie Hale at Times Radio on the latest in U.S.-Ukraine talks, Europe's responsibility, and how Zelensky is performing a bit of tactical jujitsu on Trump's (and Putin's) demands of him. www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...

Ibland blir man påmind om varför man fortfarande hänger på det andra stället.

Skriver om att Lena Andersson förvanskar Stoltenbergs ord bara för att de ska passa in i komplotten om kriget. www.dn.se/ledare/amand...

Putin sits in Moscow claiming that his armies have taken a town that the Ukrainian president is personally visiting. There are cowardly tyrants and there are courageous elected leaders and it is good to know the difference.

Hackare kopplade till Iransk underrättelsetjänst har sedan i våras utnyttjat två svenska småföretag som täckmantel för hemliga cyberoperationer. Spåren leder till Sundbyberg och Skanstull. Ny granskning med Kristoffer Örstadius idag. www.dn.se/sverige/iran...

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

this shit is just beyond parody, man

excited to award my kids the Burger King Peace Prize this weekend

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

Quote for today's negotiations: "The aggressor is always peace-loving; he would prefer to take over our country unopposed." Carl von Clausewitz in "On War," 1816-1830

Bohlin skänker legitimitet till en som hyllat den ryska aggressionen mot Ukraina och som stått på Moskvas lönelista, och kanske fortfarande gör. bsky.app/profile/dani...

Medan storförhandlingarna om Ukrainas öde intensifieras är det kritiskt att se trenderna på slagfältet som står i förändring. Ny kolumn i DN om läget i kriget.

Skriver om Riks-avslöjandet och att SD gått från att betraktas som ett problem i sin relation till Ryssland till garanten mot Vladimir Putins påverkan på Sverige. www.dn.se/ledare/amand...

Kremlin operative Kirill Dmitriev drew up the “US Peace Plan” months ago. It was a Russian operation against Ukraine and Europe and Trump and his team of losers went along with it.

Witkoff advised the Russians on how to pitch their Ukraine plan to Trump www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Skriver om att Liberalerna har drabbats av politisk demens. Och att det är sorgligt att se partiet i det här skicket. www.dn.se/ledare/amand...

Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

Today is Holodomor Memorial Day

Jag skulle inte bli förvånad om Busch gjorde sig betydelsefull igen genom att göra Åkesson till statsministerkandidat. Moderaterna måste sluta låtsas att allt är som det ska. Att de har kontroll. www.dn.se/ledare/amand...

Michelle Obama: “Don't even look at me about running, because you all are lying. “You're not ready for a woman. So don't waste my time. We got a lot of growing up to do.”

You know the ending of this story, right? FIFA president Gianni Infantino will award the first-ever FIFA Peace Prize during the 2026 World Cup draw in DC on December 5. The prize will honour individuals who have helped unite people and promote peace.

I dag är en bra dag att diskutera terrorlagstiftningen, för det är en dag när det inte nyligen har begåtts ett terrordåd. Läs min senaste DN-krönika: www.dn.se/ledare/aron-...

Prylar och tjänster ser allt mer annorlunda ut i EU jämfört med t.ex USA när bolagen anpassar sig efter reglering. www.dn.se/ekonomi/darf...

This is very good

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Trump on Ukraine: "They'd like to have Tomahawks. We talked about that. We'll see. I might have to speak to Russia, to be honest with you, about Tomahawks. Do they want to have Tomahawks going in their direction? I don't think so."

”Konservatismen är politikens ål: hal, utrotningshotad – och lockar Timbrochefer.” Gina Gustavsson om Tidö 2.0 och varför landets konservativa skara borde vara minst lika besvikna som liberaler. www.dn.se/ledare/gina-...

Last week, a Dutch court ordered Meta to give Facebook & Instagram users the right to set a chronological feed by default - one of the first EU cases applying the DSA in civil proceedings. To unpack what this means, I spoke with @bitsoffreedom.bsky.social: www.techpolicy.press/what-a-dutch...

www.svtplay.se/video/e4z3r3... I was privileged to be able to accompany an SVT, Swedish Public Service, news team in Ukraine for a week at the end of August ‘25. Many thanks to the very experienced team of @bengtnorborg.bsky.social and @emla68.bsky.social for taking care of me.

Intressant artikel om Kina, där där förtroendet för beslutsfattandet och tillväxten minskar. ”instabilitet är en förutsättning för förändring”, skriver Björn Jerdén, Patrik Andersson och Gustav Sundqvist www.dn.se/debatt/kina-...

Jag har lite svårt att förstå varför det inte är en nationell storm över detta. En av våra mest kända svenskar har enligt uppgift förödmjukats, tvingas krypa & kyssa en främmande makts flagga, fängslad utan tillräckligt rent vatten. Expressen begravde nyheten längst ner. DN rapporterar inte alls.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Putin not Musk is probably the richest man on earth but that only makes the point stronger — control of media by oligarchs leads to folly, fascism, and war

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

CNN has made the editorial decision to keep playing this clip on air for guests making sure they get the full context of what Kimmel said. Good.
