Vance’s culture-war tirade against the Europeans was not only pointlessly confrontational and ill-informed; it was also delivered at a moment when lectures on democracy from America have inevitable “Physician, heal thyself” overtones. ICYMI @cathyyoung63.bsky.social:

Trump is rewriting the history of Russia’s invasion: Ukraine is not a victim but a villain and Zelensky not a latter-day Churchill but a “dictator without elections” who started the war. He seems to be laying a predicate for abandoning an ally under attack www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

Am amazed at the postings of some of my Polish right wing acquaintances who totally agree with Vance's speech. The notion that the European governments are anti democratic is a reflection of their anti EU views. It is scary.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

About 80% of the weight of a plane's airframe is aluminum. Trump's tariffs on aluminum add to costs at US airframe makers -and will raise the price of US aircraft on world markets.

Trump just terminated the Chair of the Kennedy Center and has installed himself as the new chair. He says he will now be dictating the institution’s “art and culture” and says it “must reflect” what he chooses.
