Scoop: FBI ousts senior official after Kash Patel’s fury over news of his use of government jet to see girlfriend perform. The removed head of critical incident response group was 27-year FBI veteran who oversaw aviation sections. news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/fbi-o...

Aurore Lalucq says Europe must grow up — and she’s right. We can’t keep running a continental condo where everyone argues over hallway lighting while the roof catches fire. Time for real #EUFederalism and #EUDefense. #Draghi

I don’t see how a man who authorizes killings without trial can ever be nominated to Peace Nobel prize…

This is not a missile strike… it is self inflicted…

Trump says his new White House ballroom “wasn’t paid by taxpayers.” Make no mistake — companies don’t give millions out of love for architecture. They invest, expecting returns: lower taxes, softer rules, and bills footed by American citizens.

France’s top general warns of a “shock” with Russia within 3–4 years. If Europe keeps debating instead of preparing, the shock won’t be Russia’s doing — it’ll be our own negligence. Time for a real #EUDefense, not press releases. ground.news/article/fran...

The only way Macron can stay in power is by naming Faure as Prime Minister and forming a broad coalition: Socialist + Greens + part of the Insoumis + Ensemble. Because with public debt ballooning and ~86% backing the Zucman tax, the government must reflect popular will. #ZucmanTax #Macron #France

Here’s the post: ⸻ In a condo, if the back wall cracks, all residents share the cost of repairing it. The same logic applies to EU borders—when drones breach one frontier, it’s not just one country’s fight. Every EU state must defend it together. #EUDefense ground.news/article/euro...

It is time to build a European Defense. If companies such as Dassault or Airbus cannot find an agreement, EU should create a European Consortium to be the principal contractor. ground.news/article/germ...

Can’t anyone see the analogy with the fascism?

H-1B visas just got more expensive: 100k USD each… Unsustainable for many, and certainly for any startup… sounds like another invitation to relocate outside of US where making business is less and less easy…

🚨 BREAKING: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has announced plans to sanction Israeli ministers. More updates on our live blog: ow.ly/q7we50WUnbI

Relocate to where? US?

The most surprising data in this poll is that in spite of all he’s done, still 37% approve his action…

A lot of people will be in a position to file for compensation … on both sides ground.news/article/most...

Every time you think you have leverage, you don’t. Facing the risk of being blocked on microchips, China will boost it production by 3 times. Step 2 will be to compete directly against your on international markets #trump #microchips #huawei #nvidia #Cambricon #MetaX #Alibaba

Russia has lost much more than this: It has isolated itself from the rest or the world, has more countries within NATO now than before, and generated Western Military spending to rise up to 5% (with the support of President Trunmp). Congrats.

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Aug. 20, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Netanyahu failed to protect his citizens and is now failing to bring peace — his war crimes are not securing Israel, they are emptying it, as more and more Israelis flee. www.france24.com/en/middle-ea...

When Netanyahu claims Macron fuels antisemitism, he twists reality: today’s hatred grows above all from the atrocities his army commits in Gaza under his orders. #Netanyahu #antisemitism www.lemonde.fr/en/france/ar...

A negotiation, by definition, means concessions on both sides. Yet here, Moscow’s “offer” is nothing but Ukraine’s surrender dressed up as diplomacy. Hard to see what exactly Russia is putting on the table — except more threats. ground.news/article/puti...

Innovation is both vital and extremely risky for mankind. Without institutional framing, it mutates into chaos. The EU builds guardrails, while the US entrusts it to people whose only priority is money-making @kyla.bsky.social 👉 open.substack.com/pub/kyla/p/t...

If gerrymandering is an abuse when Republicans twist it, it’s no less abusive when Democrats do the same. No “noble” purpose justifies bending democracy. Districts should reflect people, not power games. #Democracy #Gerrymandering

The Justice Department press office clashed with a reporter after she refused to print a statement that didn't address her question.

Meiselas: A MAGA anti-vax extremist opened fire on the CDC, killing a heroic Black officer. 500 shots fired. Do we hear Trump or JD Vance saying anything? Cohen: Not even thoughts and prayers.

Just the beginning @groundnews.bsky.social ground.news/article/cons...

I hope this EU meeting delivers more than another toothless declaration. Condemnations + drip-feed aid keep the war frozen. Sending weapons while avoiding “involvement” isn’t courage — it’s political cosplay at Ukraine’s expense. #EUForeignPolicy #UkraineWar

And persecuted

Journalists should never be a target.  The killing of journalists in Gaza under Israeli bombardment must end.

TARIFFS BACKFIRE: Bloomberg reports Trump’s tariffs are crushing U.S. textile exporters—raising costs, scaring off buyers, and stalling investments. Cocona Labs’ CEO says sales are down and the company may move some of its operations overseas.

Hamas’s crimes do not excuse Israel’s actions in Gaza. The Jewish state is a democracy. Its leaders should hold themselves to higher standards than terrorists

Peace will only come if both sides swallow hard truths—compromise isn’t surrender, it’s the only way out of endless war. #Ukraine #PeaceTalks www.france24.com/en/live-news...

I think we have had enough of the morons in the Trump administration. It’s time to bring back science!

Not all of Israel stands with Netanyahu’s war. Thousands fill Tel Aviv’s streets, demanding an end to the Gaza massacre—proof that conscience still breathes, even under a government drunk on power. #Gaza #IsraelProtests ground.news/article/isra...

Redistricting should reflect population change—not rigged maps for political gain.

Just like a Dictatorship… Let’s hope Supreme Court doesn’t have to step in.

With all the due respect for Cambodia , how can you nominate for Nobel Peace Price someone who used armed force against the sovereignty territorial integrity of another state without justification (like self-defense or UN Security Council approval)???

heads up -- this is very well done. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

'Make America Healthy Again' means eating French fries fried in beef tallow and drinking water that gives you cancer, apparently

He promised it in 2010; now he’s building it—Trump’s $200M, 90,000 ft² ballroom for 650 guests, funded privately, built atop the East Wing. Melania moves out, tents move in. Legacy project or vanity play?

TACO is going to fire the head of the Department of Labor Statistics for telling the truth about unemployment numbers. We will never get accurate unemployment numbers again.

David Grossman, one of Israel’s most respected writers, says the unthinkable: “Genocide.” When the voice of a nation’s conscience breaks, perhaps it’s time for the rest to listen. #Israel #Gaza #DavidGrossman
