Auftakt der nächsten Runde im Manipulationsspiel #Putin #Trump. Nicht gut für Selenskyj im Weißen Haus morgen.

Yesterday: Trump bragged, "We took the freedom of speech away." Today: New reporting on Trump's plans to go after opposition groups. In 9 days: We mount the largest peaceful protest in modern history to say, loud and clear, that America has no king. nokings.org

Today's violation of Estonia's airspace by Russian military aircraft is an extremely dangerous provocation. This marks the third such violation of EU airspace in days and further escalates tensions in the region. The EU stands in full solidarity with Estonia (1/2)

Thanks for the wonderful turnout for this event: 86 people from 27 countries! 🌐🎉 The #QCA recording will be made available by @isanet.bsky.social via their channels.

History has focused on Watergate, but many people are unaware that the second article of impeachment against Nixon was for his abuse of "the available federal machinery to screw our political enemies," as John Dean put it in the famous memo.

So much flows from this core mistake to not prosecute Trump for insurrection in spring 2021. By the time they changed course it was too late. Media and public attention had moved on from Jan 6. And Trump had begun to reassemble Republican support.

Luckovich on orange cabinet meetings in 2017 and 2025. It's the same obsequiousness on display to cosplay government and provide reality TV sound bites to the orange ego and the faithful. Editorial cartoonists cut it to the essence.

The way to empower a mob boss is to pay tribute to a mob boss. That’s what Paramount has done.

Note to media: “Trump says” is not a story. He says A LOT. He lies a lot. Do some sifting, discerning, contextualizing. Otherwise it’s just stenography. And you’re embarrassing yourselves.

This is a map of Los Angeles. The arrow points to a red dot. That red dot (roughly) represents the protest area seen on TV. To me, the gross mischaracterization of what’s happening in Los Angeles looks like an excuse to deploy the military—to protect government assets like ICE.

A nice surprise to see so many new followers. By way of intro, I'm based at NTU Singapore, where I teach on alliances and defence policy. My first book examines how the UK, as a 2nd tier power, makes grand strategy while underneath the US security umbrella. See here for more info: williamdjames.com

What an impressive venue for #EUIA25. Thanks everyone for the superb attendance at our panel on European responses to Russia‘s war against Ukraine. This may have been largest crowd I‘ve ever had at a conference panel. Thanks Yf Reykers for organizing this and also for the constructive comments!

The cover for my new book with Georgetown University Press, forthcoming in the fall. I draw on 98 original interviews with policymakers and analysts to argue that leading NATO members face different threats, which tells us about their defense decisions and their value for the alliance.

🙏 Power of wrong mapping... I never understood why German media use maps from 🇬🇧 majoritarian voting to illustrate 🇩🇪 proportional voting.... 🤷 #btw25

One thing seems certain about Germany's general election on Sunday: for the first time, the former "Volksparteien" (catch all parties) will receive less than 50% of the vote. The CDU/CSU and the SPD are particularly weak among younger voters, so this trend is likely to continue. (1/2)

Thanks for the interview, Adrián Romero @rtvenoticias.bsky.social, in light of the upcoming German #elections and their implications for security policy, especially the continued support for #Ukraine. 👇
