French Eutelsat is preparing to replace Starlink in Ukraine and plans to send about 40,000 communication terminals. Matching Starlink’s 40,000 would take “a couple of months, not years.”

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

Trump officials race to rehire bird flu employees. But the measures come as the USDA is struggling to rehire key employees working on the virus outbreak who were recklessly fired. Roughly a quarter of employees in a critical office for H5N1 were cut. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Merz with remarkable clarity: „Absolutely no illusions“ about Trump. Goal needs to be step by step independence from a US who „pretty much no longer cares about fate of 🇪🇺“. „Unclear whether we will still speak of NATO in present shape“ by time of June summit or we need to come up with 🇪🇺alternative.

What Europe should do RIGHT NOW: Make it extremely easy for US scientists to get long-term visa, create as many additional research jobs in key areas as possible, create new, generous science and research funds. People are losing their jobs over there NOW. Let‘s welcome them.

Once again I am leaving the Munich Security Conference in a low mood. Amongst all the noise, the US signalled their plans for Europe, so things are becoming clearer. But things are clearly not good. This is what we now know, and what we have to do about it:🧵1/17

Vance refuses to meet the German chancellor Scholz, but meets with the head of the AfD and CDU. Vance claims that German parties need to work with the fascists and claims democracy in Europe is declining, threatened by enemies from within. The international Right is forming, out in the open.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.
