Job candidates at federal agencies are being questioned on their loyalty to Trump. Among the questions: Would you be willing to serve as a spokesperson for mass deportations? Which of Trump’s executive orders is your favorite? Who won the 2020 election? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The war, the geopolitical uncertainty and the new arms race started by Putin have left Europe with no choice. Europe must be ready for this race, and Russia will lose it like the Soviet Union 40 years ago. From today, Europe will arm itself more wisely and faster than Russia.

Vergesst die Erzählung, dass die USA sich von Europa abwenden oder aus Europa zurückziehen. Das Gegenteil ist der Fall: Trump, Musk und Vance haben Europa als Hauptgegner identifiziert – nicht geopolitisch, sondern ideologisch. Sie führen einen Kulturkampf. Gegen uns. 🧵👇1/8

And there it is. Putin’s lifelong dream. After years of relentless Russian propaganda, now fully embraced by the American president and the world’s richest oligarch, millions of Americans are convinced that this is a good plan because Europe is an enemy and Putin is our friend.

Trump's America after 6 weeks: First measles death in 10 years, deadliest plane crash in 20 years, consumer confidence & stock market are down, inflation & unemployment are up plus he has alienated western democratic allies from Canada to Europe and made the US a Kremlin aligned country

Today is a reminder of Zelensky's superhuman stamina and strength. He deflected deeply unfair vile attacks in his 3rd language and kept it together while two bullies threatened his country's existence and repeated the tired but infuriating propaganda tropes of the aggressor.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

„Der ungarische Ministerpräsident Viktor Orban dankte Trump für dessen Einsatz für den "Frieden". "Starke Männer schließen Frieden, schwache Männer führen Krieg", schrieb er im Onlinedienst X.“ (Tagesschau) Gut zu wissen, dass Orban findet, dass Putin schwach ist. 🤔

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

If Trump wants to see elections in Ukraine, all he has to do is use the power he keeps talking about to get the Russian invaders off Ukrainian soil. Then martial law in Ukraine ends, and elections will follow.

In 1939, Hitler and Stalin agreed a secret pact to carve up Poland under the guise of the Soviets acting in Poland's interests. In 2025, Trump and Putin are seeking a public pact to carve bits off Ukraine under the guise of the U.S. acting in Ukraine's interests. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

This is not a peace negotiation. This is the beginning of a US-russian alliance. All that's left is for the US to commit troops to help the weak russian army conquer Ukraine and remove Zelensky. Forget the betrayal; it was expected. This is pathetic US deference to the weak russian dictatorship.

A US president abusing state power to pressure a sovereign democracy to lift travel restrictions on two people facing rape and human tracking charges - simply because they're political supporters. The White House is fast becoming the global epicentre of moral corruption. www.ft.com/content/3f95...

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.

Thought experiment for Labour… With over 4yrs and a huge majority, why not stir it up? Pitch your tent defiantly on the liberal lawn, loudly reject the epic failures of Brexit and rightwing immigration ideology and see how many liberal votes you gain instead of chasing Reform into a toxic dead end?
