The victim has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a US citizen and the mother of a small child.

Remember when Donald said he could shoot someone broad daylight and his supporters would still love him? Turns out he meant it literally.

Our Union is not perfect, but it is a promise. That cooperation is stronger than confrontation. That law is stronger than force. Principles that apply not only to our European Union, but equally to Greenland.

Echt álles gaat mis op dit moment.

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

Het lijkt erop dat Pro-Europese accounts worden geshadowbanned. Musk dineert lekker met Trump die zegt nu graag Groenland te willen. Ondertussen blijven Europese leiders slapjes posten op X dat het 'internationaal recht' gerespecteerd moet worden.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver. This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Maduro was een wrede dictator. Hij stortte zijn land in de afgrond, verloor de verkiezingen en bleef onrechtmatig aan de macht. Veel Venezolanen zullen opgelucht zijn dat hij weg is. (1/3)

"Life is a big deal'

Trump says he 'never spoke about Maduro' with Putin.

Rubio: 'The country is run by an incompetent, senile man'. ... He was talking about Cuba.

"They stole our oil," says President Trump of Venezuela.

From my favorite U.S. cartoonist @mluckovich.bsky.social (already weeks ago).

"Mexico strongly condemns and rejects the military actions carried out unilaterally ... by armed forces of the United States of America against targets in the territory of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in clear violation of Article 2 of the [UN] Charter" www.gob.mx/sre/prensa/m...

Trump "could have tried to persuade Congress or the public to give him permission to use force. He didn’t bother. He chose war despite polls that found a large majority of Americans opposed it." From Conor Friedersdorf www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

If you haven’t seen it, it’s hard to express how extreme Dutch New Year’s Eve is. A whole country goes insane. This was a quiet lane on the edge of Gouda, at 1am. Continuous for hours. Every urban area in the country is like this (often much better/worse). It’s a wonder anyone has any fingers left

As the world prepared for New Year’s Eve, Russia sent drones at Ukraine. 📹United24/kava2020

De architect van de Vondelkerk plaatste het gebouw in het midden van de eveneens door hem ontworpen straat (waar hij zelf ging wonen) als verwijzing naar de centrale rol van de katholieke kerk in de Middeleeuwen. www.historischnieuwsblad.nl/pierre-cuype...

Happy 1938 allemaal!

Why should Colonel #VladimirPutin, as Commander-in-Chief of Russia's army that has erased entire towns & killed hundreds of children in Ukraine, claim security from Ukrainian counter-strikes? Putin, who often poses in uniform, is a combatant & legitimate target in this war.

Alle wereldburgers verdienen aandacht, niet alleen Trump

I'm gonna have to blow up part of one of my palaces to make Donald believe my latest lie

Trump's response to this cheap Kremlin trick shows exactly how much Ukraine can count on US security guarantees. They are non-existent

💯💯💯

🤡 Ushakov: Trump said in a conversation with Putin that he could not even have imagined “such insane actions” as a drone attack on the Russian president’s state residence. "Thank God we didn't give Zelensky the Tomahawk missiles," Trump said in a conversation with Putin.

Despite electricity shortages after yesterday’s Russian attack, Kharkiv still managed to summon some Christmas spirit — with at least one small spot lit up. People are only just beginning to arrive. The rest of the city is decorated but dark.

These declassified exchanges between Prez and W Bush in which I completely deny Ukraine's existence just prove the West provoked Russia by claiming it does.

Breton's offending tweet is still up, if you were wondering what it takes to get US sanctions these days

Thierry Breton, a 'radical activist', barred from entering the U.S.

In a major escalation against the EU, alongside civil society representatives the Trump Administration sanctions former Commissioner Breton for work he did in official capacity ↘️ www.state.gov/releases/off...
