Got to write about what I think a/the underrated global security risk in 2026 might be for @warontherocks.bsky.social. And no, I didn’t chose anything related to drones, or even directly to Europe. warontherocks.com/2025/12/unde...

The Kansas City Chiefs are relocating from Missouri to Kansas and getting a new $3 billion stadium. 60 percent of it will be publicly funded — despite the owners boasting a nearly $25 billion net worth. This isn't the first stadium scam we've seen recently...

The Trump admin sanctions several European officials today after Elon Musk was fined for several violations of their Digital Services Act.

Supreme Court just handed Trump a major loss—ruling 6–3 that he can’t deploy the National Guard to Chicago. Won’t stop ICE from kidnapping people, but it’s a huge win for the city.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump has sued over jokes, tweets, interviews, and news articles but not once over any of the countless accusations of child rape. — That silence says everything.

⭐ What stood out in international #Tax policy this year? With 2025 now drawing to a close, let's look back at the key moments in #TaxPolicy that moved the #sustainable agenda forward ⬇️ @economies.iisd.org

Morgen erklärt die Trump-Regierung Klimaschützer zu Staatsfeinden, übermorgen Trans Menschen und am Tag danach Muslimische Organisationen — und Zack!, kündigen deutsche Banken allen entsprechenden Vereinen die Konten! Was ist ein Rechtsstaat aus Feiglingen wert? rote-hilfe.de/meldungen/ko...

Absurd, wie sich manche nur um die Resozialisierung des Täters Russland sorgen, während die Tat noch nicht einmal beendet ist – in einem Moment, in dem es ausschließlich darum gehen müsste, dem Täter die Waffe aus der Hand zu schlagen und dem Opfer zu helfen.

Do we charge for this? Or is it a free service we provide to friendly dictators?

The Trump administration is recalling nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial and other senior embassy posts as it moves to reshape the U.S. diplomatic posture abroad.

It's not anti-European to talk about the end of the Euro. The Euro is just a system of FX pegs that got hijacked by high-debt countries. ECB yield caps can stop countries from blowing up, but they don't actually create fiscal space. It's enough with this "pretend..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5gr...

New Year is coming, and it's time to remember what matters most❤️ Wish your loved ones a happy holidays and help Ukrainian children—send money to Visa cards in Ukraine, and TransferGo will add 0.5% from every transaction to U24's educational projects. #EveryTransferMatters u24.gov.ua/every-transf...

I’m sure this will be popular. 5 million people are in default right now. The Dept of Ed estimates as many as 10 million by end of next year because of job market.

The Ellisons want Trump’s support for their hostile takeover of Warner Bros. But Trump has been unhappy with recent episodes of 60 Minutes — hence the CECOT segment removal. Business leaders and the press surrendering to Trump is a danger to us all. A tyrant can't be appeased.

This holiday season, we’re reflecting on Mrs. Obama’s impact as First Lady at this time of year, and how her spirit of hospitality will be planted—quite literally—into the Obama Presidential Center.

1/5 Der Historiker Timothy Snyder ordnet Trumps Interesse an Kanada und Grönland ein. Seine Analyse ist eindeutig: Das hat nichts mit amerikanischen Interessen zu tun. Gar nichts.

Wenn alles zu Aktienfonds u Investmentmöglichkeit gemacht wird, verrottet alles bei steigenden Preisen. Ethikbefreite Geldgier, die ganze Gesellschaften ins Chaos stürzt. Hauptsache Gewinn, kümmern um den Erhalt negativ, faire Mieten ebenso. Das betrifft jegliches Feld. Bahn, Wasser, Strom, Wohnen.

Trump’s new special envoy to Greenland Jeff Landry says he’s the perfect person to persuade them to become part of the US because his family has lived in Louisiana for 300 years and Greenland falls under the Monroe Doctrine and he going to bring them great Cajun food.

James Talarico exposes GOP private school voucher scam: “Elon Musk is a Texas resident and is eligible for these funds. He has 8 children. That's $2 million in funds for Elon Musk. You're taking tax dollars of plumbers and nurses to subsidize families who already have kids at private schools."

A corrupt banker was being prosecuted for bribery, so his daughter donated $2.5M to Trump's super PAC—and suddenly, Trump's DOJ overruled career prosecutors and let him off with a fucking misdemeanor. It’s crazy how easy it is to bribe these people.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%. The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion. Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024. Nothing trickled down.

I’m sure Russia won’t bomb and murder people over Christmas because Trump, Vance and Witkoff assure us that Putin wants peace and Russia is a Christian nation.

From time to time I burden you with some personal stuff, based on my belief that our values begin with who we are and where we came from. I wanted to share some thoughts on what it means to get older. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/you-look-great

NEWS: Bill Clinton is demanding full transparency from the Trump DOJ on the Epstein files. Clinton’s spokesman says the DOJ’s selective release suggests someone is being protected. He calls on Trump to direct Bondi to immediately release all remaining materials referencing Clinton.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Russia has been increasing its war spending every year. In the 2026 budget, the Kremlin plans to spend 12.93 trillion rubles ($163,4 billion) (almost 30%, a record since the Soviet era) on the war, the army, and weapons purchases.

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

Yet another reminder that when billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy. The super-rich won't hesitate to sell out the American public if it means getting merger approvals or deregulation that helps their bottom line.

⚡️ “This is a war crime,” Lithuania says as Russia abducts civilians from Ukraine’s Sumy region. More than 50 mostly elderly residents were forcibly taken to Russia, with Vilnius demanding their immediate release. 🔗 united24media.com/latest-news/...
