Elon musk has installed a software to all the employees at Department of Education that tracks keystrokes. So they know what they are saying in real time. Monitors on Teams, so they can listen to all calls they have. This is so intrusive and crazy! Listen at 5:36 here youtu.be/tSuky9pYzyk?...

The total cut off of deliveries to Ukraine is shockingly punitive. This is money already spent, equipment already built by industry for Ukraine, much of it has little utility to the US military. And it is just going to be sitting there in warehouses idle, as Ukrainian forces fight on.

The world is so upside down. The normal thing would be that Trump pressured Putin to end the war. Instead is befriending him and pressuring Zelenskyy and Ukraine. Trump is pro bullies, dictators and war criminals. He supports Israel in freezing aid to Gaza to make a deal they want… W…T.. F…!

What’s interesting about the Oval Office fiasco is that it was Trump who repeatedly claimed during the campaign that he would end the war in ‘24 hours’ and that he was a master negotiator. Did the guy sulking, then berating Zelensky, then kicking him out, look or sound like a master negotiator?

Trump seems to not understand what VAT is. He thinks it is a sales tax. It is also added on every unit regardless of which country it is produced. So to say it is like a tariff is just wrong. So it’s silly to add a tariffs because Europe has VAT. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value-a...

Smålig av Senterpartiet å ikke ville stemme for de tre direktivene med eneste argument om at da kan de vedta resten av pakka til høsten med Høyre. De kan jo vedta hele pakka selv om de ikke vedtar tre direktiver med Sp nå. Sp ser jo ikke noe problem med disse tre. Barnslig opplegg!
