They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.

The US National Security Strategy 2025 is little more than a guide to Trump’s culture war with Europe. EU member states and institutions, its political parties and populations, need to resist America’s pernicious influence, writes @pawelzerka.bsky.social ecfr.eu/article/euro...

‪#Merz wird sich schon bald entscheiden müssen, Europa oder Blackrock.

Im Rentenpaket fällt mir wieder auf, wie sehr Berichterstattung darauf fokussiert, was das für Koalitionsstabilität und Kontrolle der Parteichefs über ihre Partei bedeutet, und wie wenig darauf, was es für das Leben der Menschen bedeutet.

#Trump "Nat'l Security Strategy", promoting racist conspiracy theories and far-right political parties, effectively abandons long-time US allies Foreign policy based on "business opportunities" for its true allies - cronies and sycophants of Trump rather than #NATO, #EU, & int'l organizations

This is really good.

Der Krieg kommt näher.

The Trump administration wants to help “its political allies” on the far Right “restore their former greatness.” Just a reminder that the last time that they were in power across the continent was the 1930s & 40s. Tucker Carlson notwithstanding, I maintain that that period wasn’t all that great.

#Merz wird sich schon bald entscheiden müssen, Europa oder Blackrock.

Der beste Weg, wie wir vermeiden können, selbst von Russland angegriffen zu werden und so in einen Krieg zu geraten, ist, dafür zu sorgen, dass Putin schon in der Ukraine verliert. Ukraine unterstützen ist der beste Weg, um das zu VERHINDERN. Dass die Kriegstreiber uns das Gegenteil sagen, ist klar.

Warum: Gier und noch mehr Gier bei der Lebensmittelindustrie. Die von der Politik seit Jahrzehnten in Watte gepackt wird.

Das Tr*mp Regime verlangt Zugriff auf Polizei Daten aus Europa.

Es zeigt nicht die Überforderung der Republik, sondern ausschließlich konservativ-neoliberaler Kräfte, die nur das alte Wahlvolk im Blick haben, aber keine Zukunftsvisionen. Der Kapitalismus scheitert mit jedem Tag mehr, aber diese Kräfte wollen es nicht wahrhaben und klammern, statt zu verändern.

Wann kommt die Einleitung des A*D Verbotsverfahrens?

Gar nicht gut! @ec.europa.eu

The murderous government.

ICYMI: don't miss this critical reporting on the fossil fuel industry's involvement in crippling the EU's green laws.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

European reaction to the new American national strategy document

The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this: The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Note that these violations stem back to a probe initiated in Dec. 2023. They do not cover newer issues with X. This summer, the EU met with xAI after Grok spread antisemitic hate speech, praise for Adolf Hitler, and blamed it (in part) on a coding error... www.cnbc.com/2025/07/14/m...

The European Commission has found Elon Musk's X to be in violation of the Digital Services Act. They're charging fines of ~$140 million US (EU 120 million) and giving X 90 days to show how they'll resolve the violations... otherwise more penalties would follow. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/05/e...

I don't hold back on the corrupt Trump bagman Jared Kushner and traitor and spy Steve Witkoff in this week's Elephant In The Room: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHZR...

The NSS signals 2 big shifts for Europe 1. Europe will handle its own security now. They take the 5% commitment literally. 2. US plans lots of political interference to back the far right. This is what "restoring Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity" means. Buckle up.

Merz wird sich schon bald entscheiden müssen, Europa oder Blackrock.

Die neue US Sicherheitsstrategie. Europa ist im Fokus, far right Kräfte sollen massiv gestützt, Europa verändert und RU gestärkt werden.

Europeans have pointlessly reassured themselves with Trump’s supposed unpredictability. When it comes to Europe, this admin is consistent and predictable. As the #NSS clarifies,it’s in the business of tearing Europe apart by supporting far right nationalists backed by Russia too

Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

What fresh hell is this? “FBI Director Kash Patel has — on more than one occasion — ordered that the security detail protecting his girlfriend escort one of her allegedly inebriated friends home after a night of partying in Nashville” www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

Even nations at war are expected to rescue each other's sailors in distress. Obviously it doesn't always happen but the expectation and law are clear with hundreds of years of precedent behind it. Like, say, during the Siege of Gibraltar (1779 – 1783)...

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:

Netflix getting Warner Bros. is bad for art, but right-wing oligarchs not getting it is bad for fascism. The Ellisons already got Paramount and Fox-ified CBS, plus a big stake in TikTok USA and more. On balance, avoiding more Orban-style media consolidation is a good outcome. Such are the times.

A bit too much of *cough* white medicine ...

This to the core corrupt party must be banned in future. The harm they have done / are doing to the country should never be forgotten, never be forgiven.

The GOP has been complicit since 2016, and has never stopped cozying up to Putin. gregolear.substack.com/p/sleeper-ce...

ICYMI, absolutely hair-raising stuff from Rep Adam Smith here about what lawmakers learned in the latest briefing about the second strike killing two men:
