An historic moment: Merz says Germany will accept responsibility for security on the European continent.
As Russia increases threats and hybrid warfare against Europe at the same time that US support is weakening, this is an important promise at a critical point in time.

In July 2024, I warned that if Trump were re-elected, "The age of multilateralism would be over, and something much worse will take its place. The UK and Europe will need to find the means of defending ourselves".
I was called "hysterical".

It’s particularly ironic since the “intellectual dark web” love Plato.
It's official, according to administrators at Texas A&M, Plato is no longer part of the Western canon and must be removed.
From an email to one of our faculty members....
Not even Plato can escape censorship at Texas A&M!

Mitch McConnell would like his legacy to be Ukraine or the court. But his most consequential decision will always be his decision to acquit Trump for January 6. It directly led to Trump’s return and his diminished influence.

A friend just had her checking account wiped out by her family's new health insurance premium (which went from $890 a month to $2800). The thing is, she'd cancelled the policy in early December, assuming it would also cancel the autopay.
Nope.
