"Rubio’s speech presented Europe with a Trumpism with a human face. But beneath the veneer, his speech was not substantively different from Vance’s hostile message, nor did it announce any meaningful departure from policies openly hostile to Europe’s interests."

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the war in Ukraine will end only when Russia is exhausted at least economically, and preferably militarily. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, he said Berlin is ready to talk, but Russia is not yet willing to engage seriously. #Ukraine

I want to be clear: Donald Trump’s administration is temporary. California’s commitment is not.
He will be gone in three years. Our resolve to confront climate change is enduring and we remain a stable, reliable partner in that fight.

This nova episode was a game changer for me. I always thought the Hadean era was devoid of life because of all the asteroid impacts. This episode indicates that the asteroids may have been essential to the creation of life. Comments?

Not sure who needs to hear this but I am sure some people need to hear it, so I’ll say it:
The 2024 election was not stolen from Democrats.
We just lost.
The more people believe in the conspiracy, the more people are likely to give up on voting, and the more likely we are to lose.
Again.

The will of mainstream media to normalize Donald Trumps blatant racist remarks and bizarre behaviour is what’s killing the USA. Until ABC, NBC, and CBS start exposing his fabrications and insane rhetoric for what they are, you’re fucked.
