Elon Musk’s loyalists at DOGE have infiltrated dozens of federal agencies, pushed out tens of thousands of workers, and siphoned millions of people’s most sensitive data. The next step: Unleash the AI www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

6 questions, 3 scotches.

🚨 CHORNOBYL: a Russian drone with a high-explosive warhead hit, damaged Chornobyl nuclear power station, causing fire. This is a signal to Europe. ⬇️ My article, March 2022, technical analysis; why it is a risk to Europe W/@BylineTimes bylinetimes.com/2022/03/28/c...

www.opendemocracy.net/en/beyond-tr... The motivation behind wealth, is the WANT to get richer The motivation behind those in poverty, is a NEED not to starve … and the wealthy elites know this!!

Question Time last night was pretty fierce. And had to be. There's a deliberate effort now to shift the ground: towards appeasement, inhumanity and authoritarianism. Once more, we must resist it. We must fight hard for kindness. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

A vital listen in my opinion. The world needs to wake up to Trump. And fast.

Dear Justin, it’s a pleasure to see you in Brussels. Canada is one of our most trusted allies. Our partnership is strong and thriving. We are ready to take it even further. → europa.eu/!VkrXJm

Biden on Putin: “He’s a murderous dictator.” Trump on Putin: “We agreed to work together, very closely, including visiting each other’s nations.” A few thoughts, after Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin spoke on the phone.

This is wonderfully on point ‘Everything we don’t like, understand, or agree with is woke’ Do watch this… spot on 👏

This made me chuckle 😂 Go Canada 🍁

Jasmine is on FIRE 🔥 🔥🔥 "...we are going to be in your face, we are going to be on your asses, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like... ...and this ain't it!"

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

Kamala Harris wanted a two state solution. Uncle Woo Woo the Fanta Fuhrer wants to invade it, make all Palestinians homeless and turn it into a beachside resort. Got it.

A reminder that the BBC can still do accurate, informative analysis when it wants to. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just a little poll in The Express. You know what to do —> xd.wayin.com/display/cont...

Like with every single negotiation he does, Donold is going to lose and then declare victory and then his fans will all call him a genius even though he’s a lying moron.

Outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz: "If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers." BOOM!

Gerry Connolly: "It is a matter for Congress to deal with, not an unelected billionaire oligarchy named Elon Musk. And Elon, if you want to run USAID, get nominated by Trump and go to the Senate and good luck in getting confirmed."

Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire, is wasting no time in abusing the influence he bought with $290 million by eliminating USAID, a program that's saved millions of lives. Real people who depend on this critical aid to access food, shelter, and medical care will die because of this decision.

Congressional delegation outside USAID now: “We are here to shed a light on a crime unfolding before our eyes.”

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

REP. RASKIN: “We don’t have a 4th branch of government called Elon Musk.” 🇺🇸

“Make no mistake, what’s happening right now is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private agency operating with a broad mandate and no concerns for the stability of the United States or the interests of the average American.” Alexander Vindman open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

Five years on, how’s that Brexit going for you? #ToryBrexitDisaster #BetterOffWithEU #Breturn #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺💙💛

Checking in on Kash Patel’s confirmation hearing:

Astonishing and brave.

I've been to Auschwitz-Birkenau. As horrifying as it is, if you can go, you should. See for yourself what humanity is actually capable of doing.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

It started with conspiracy and propaganda then evolved into dehumanisation - spreading distrust, fear and disgust about the target. The powerless were given a group to blame, the illusion of power. The techniques used now are the same. It’ll only happen again if people let it. Sadly, they are…

Feels like a good time to repost this! Brexit reduced goods exports by £27bn – with smaller firms most affected #Starmer must respond positively to Sefcovic now. Rejoining the customs union is a sure way to economic growth www.lse.ac.uk/News/Latest-...

Pete Hegseth admitted to the Senate that he paid $50,000 (!!!) to silence a "Jane Doe" who accused him of rape. But at his hearing last week, he said he was “falsely accused." More questions than answers. We can't rush his vote and trust him with our national security.
