incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

Paul Krugman and I sit down to talk about the 2025 elections. What do Democrats' big wins forecast for 2026? Why are elites from Democratic consultants to The New York Times Editorial Board concluding the wrong lessons from 2024? Why were polls off?

In the name of "fighting antisemitism," Indiana University appointed a Christian scholar to tell Jewish scholars what they can and cannot say - all while they invited Tucker Carlson to speak on campus. www.jta.org/2025/11/07/u...

BYD, not fully invested in 🇪🇺, turns to Italy and is ready to ingest local component producers that used to supply ex-Fiat/Stellantis. 85 specialized firms in Turin alone have already signed contracts with BYD.

Clearly a transition that could have been home-made is happening via Chinese leadership.

Teheran hat 20 Millionen Einwohner und wird evakuiert werden müssen, wenn es in den nächsten Wochen nicht regnet.

Aber keine Sorge, das hat es auch früher schon gegeben (bei den Mayas zB) und kann in Europa sicher nicht passieren

There are many ways to do clickbait and to generate liberal outrage in order to boost engagement and thus advertisements. The NYT does it by promoting reactionary and far-right content. That is a conscious choice!

This was, of course, completely predictable and logical, as EU politics simply follow national politics in this. Most EPP parties have normalized the far right in their own country.

On March 6, #SCOTUS denied a Trump emergency application in the Dellinger case. That was the last time that happened; today's ruling is the 24th (consecutive) grant since then.

I survey this broader pattern (and its alarming implications) in a new draft paper here:

in fairness if I had to work with JD Vance I would probably long for the Politburo
Trump: "I want my cabinet to behave like [Xi Jinping's staff]. I'm demanding that....I've never seen men so scared in their lives...JD doesn't behave like that. JD butts into conversations."

Politik, die das Leben bezahlbar macht, ist nicht nur Sozialpolitik – sie ist Demokratieversicherung.Wenn das Garantieren von Grundgütern im Jahr 2025 radikal klingt, zeigt das nur, wie weit wir uns von den Versprechen der Demokratie entfernt haben. Märkte werden die Demokratie nicht retten.

Schon bemerkenswert, die Schlagzahl der BILD-Kampagne gegen Wadephul.
Man kann sich den Eifer kaum erklären, außer man sieht das Ganze auch als späte Bestrafung für das Abweichen Wadephuls von der israelpolitischen BILD-Orthodoxie in der Debatte um Gaza. Exempel statuieren.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

So, as in 2017, we see a turbocharged thermostatic backlash, as opposed to the enduring vibe shift seen by many shocked commentators. Trump is an aspiring dictator, but he and his agenda lack the massive appeal to successfully consolidate as Orban, Putin, and others did. (3/n)

For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate.

Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I don’t think we should view this outside the context of DOGE, where young men were drafted into being shock troops for incredibly immoral and illegal actions because they lacked the judgement or experience to say “hey we shouldn’t do this, I might go to jail”

Israeli's chief military prosecutor has been arrested and will likely face trial for "perverting the course of justice".
Over the past two years, she provided legal cover for numerous crimes against humanity in Gaza. All this didn't protect her when she pursued a single torture case.
Following the documented rape of a Palestinian prisoner in Sde Teyman, the military prosecutor ordered the arrest of the soldiers involved.
There was govt-supported riots trying to prevent their arrest. In response, she leaked the video evidence.
Now she has been removed by the Israeli govt.
