Solar ist die billigste Stromquelle in der Menschheitsgeschichte. Wächst die Branche weiter, könnte sie bald den Strombedarf der ganzen Welt decken.

What did Marjorie Taylor Greene know about the tariff announcements and what stock trades did she make? We need answers.

TYPO ALERT: Not 2.5 million. Schwab raked in $2.5 billion. Repeat: 2.5 BILLION DOLLARS. Trump’s tariff insider trading scheme delivered HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of DOLLARS to his already mega-wealthy buddies.

He has never acted rationally. But rational people kept constructing rational edifices to explain his behavior.

By crashing the global economy Trump has everyone's attention. This is heaven for a pathological narcissist. What will he do next to get more kicks? #Trump #tariffs

Jeras is spreading the same disinformation he claims to oppose. Assume he is a paid agent, and block accordingly. To Wit: Murdoch was a legal resident for 11 years before becoming a citizen. The FD never did, or could, apply to newspapers. The FD never did, or could, ban "lying".

the fact is the American right cannot muster this kind of thing absent an actual Trump rally and our ability to do so scares the shit out of them

European Union countries will seek to present a united front in the coming days against U.S. President Trump’s tariffs, likely approving a first set of targeted countermeasures on up to $28 billion of U.S. imports from dental floss to diamonds.

Yesterday my colmn was about a dangerous Trump EO mandating consolidation of gov databases--except when it violates the law. I was skeptical the law would be respected. Today WH ordered the IRS to violate the law and do computer matching between DHS and IRS. www.wired.com/story/plaint....

⚡️Zelensky: Russia must be held accountable for everything it has done. "We need to put pressure on them there — really put pressure, don't waste time on empty talk — to end this war," President Volodymyr Zelensky added.

⚡️Elon Musk’s social media platform X may face fines exceeding $1 billion for allegedly violating the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), the New York Times (NYT) reported on April 4, citing four people familiar with the matter.

I know how you feel Vladimir. I also purchased a new laptop once and was deeply disappointed. Buyer's regret is real. www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/04/05/r...

This is a crucial point that I’ve been pondering too: “Musk-Trump are creating the bloodily moronic situation in which the United States will have to fight wars to get the things that, just a few weeks ago, were there for the asking.” I hope it’s becoming clearer by the day to everyone that…

Sasha Alexandrova left Russia after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine but returned to the republic of Sakha last year.

In a defiant last statement in court, Alexander Skobov condemned both Russian and U.S. leaders as “predators” engaged in an “imperialist conspiracy” in Ukraine.

NEW: Moscow is elated by the Trump administration’s moves to gut U.S.-funded media outlets RFE/RL and Voice of America, high-ranking Russian officials and diplomats told MT. "A dog’s death for a dog,” one former Kremlin official said.

City officials in Krasnoyarsk said mass public events are not allowed while Russia continues its so-called "special military operation."

Dear allies, the investigation of the Lithuanian prosecutor’s office has confirmed our suspicions that responsible for setting fires to shopping centres in Vilnius and Warsaw are the Russian secret services. Good to know before negotiations. Such is the nature of this state.

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed. Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance. My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

Trump finally realizes Putin played him—Russia doesn’t want peace. Yet instead of supporting Ukraine, he attacks it again. Meanwhile, Ukrainians sleep in their beds at 4 AM when Russia bombs, kills, and destroys. And Trump? He warns Ukraine not to "pick on" its genocidal invader. Predictable.
