Tesla’s German sales fell 76% in February to 1,429 cars, a steeper decline than the 60% drop in January.

America has much less sway in Bosnia than the EU (which Bosnia is hoping to join, and is surrounded by). Rubio has spent recent weeks gleefully insulting Europeans, including cancelling a meeting with Kaja Kallas *as she landed in Washington* A masterclass in pulverising diplomatic influence

Tja, als niet alle kinderen worden gevaccineerd, riskeer je geregeld een uitbraak van mazelen.

After taking unprecedented (illegal) access to federal data systems, DOGE has found basically no substantial waste, fraud, or abuse. They've lied a lot but come up quite empty in reality.

Russian missiles keep relentlessly falling on Ukraine, bringing more death and more destruction. Once again, Putin shows he has no interest in peace. We must step up our military support – otherwise, even more Ukrainian civilians will pay the highest price.

What a wonderful idea…👇 Let’s. Do. This. ✨

“Zelensky is a hero of historic scale, brave beyond measure; Trump’s behavior was disgraceful. He and his Vice-President, J. D. Vance, deliberately tried to intimidate Zelensky with all the finesse of a couple of small-time hoods.” www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I guess the remarkable thing here is that there’s not even a nominal “concession” from Sheinbaum. Nothing changed between yesterday and today on migration or drug policy, but the tariffs are gone. He backed down without an excuse.

a look at the s&p following the election of recent us presidents:

Donald Trump was the first president in a century to preside over net jobs loss during his first term and unsurprisingly he's picking right up where he left off. Congrats, America.

JPMORGAN becomes the first big desk to cut #GDP forecasts for the year. “.. we are increasingly concerned about the uncertainty shock to business investment .. and have started to recalibrate our forecasts in response .. we’ve lowered our 1Q GDP forecast from 1.5%ar to 1%ar.” 🇺🇸

Instead of asking Trump what he thinks about how Elon is running DOGE, maybe reporters should ask Trump what he thinks about how Amy Gleason is running DOGE Because she's the head of DOGE, right?

Bribes. They’re known as bribes.

Judge Beryl Howell: "The President's interpretation of the scope of his constitutional power— or, more aptly, his aspiration—is flat wrong."

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

This is despicable. But don't think it stops here. DEI is the first step. Censorship of what is taught in our universities and other schools is the goal. And they're achieving it. Time for universities to stand up and say no. Stop complying. Fight back.

It's getting crazier by the minute. Also, Trump is getting crazier by the minute.

“I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement.”

DOGE was never about saving money and eliminating fraud. It was about eliminating all of the people and agencies who could prevent Musk, Trump, and their oligarchs from stealing money and committing fraud while they hijack the government. It’s a coup.

Trump calling for a mandatory death penalty for anyone convicted of murdering a police officer -- after pardoning nearly all of the rioters who stormed the Capitol and attacked law enforcement on January 6.

BREAKING - Trump just asked Congress for a death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer Says the man who PARDONED over 400 violent insurrectionists who assaulted the Capitol Police on his behalf on January 6 -- with 4 officers ultimately dying

The chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee told GOP lawmakers to stop having in-person town halls with constituents. The directive comes as Republican town halls have devolved into angry shouting matches across the U.S.

Dude says we have to take care of our law enforcement FUCK YOU!!! YOU ASSHOLE YOU PARDONED OUR ATTACKERS

DOGE "is headed by Elon Musk," Donald Trump says. Cc: @annabower.bsky.social Federal judges in DC, Maryland, and Virginia Yaakov Roth

Meanwhile in Russia: Vladimir Solovyov exclaimed, "Masks are off!" He declared Trump Russia's ally and predicted that he would pull out of NATO—and redirect military aid that was originally meant for Ukraine to Russia. This and more in my latest article⤵️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=54rl...

Tariffs are ‘an act of war’ - Warren Buffet

He is either genuinely mad or just the most stupid human ever to hold a political office of any significance. A nation declaring a trade war on itself.

when Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE last November, he said the work would be “tedious” and “compensation is zero" now it turns out some DOGE operatives are earning six-figure salaries, one as high as $195,200, as much as a civil servant can legally make www.wired.com/story/doge-g...
