New in PN: @donmoyn.bsky.social on "Purge, Merge, and Surge"

“The visible presence of overwhelming numbers of troops in the streets has a psychological component. You display dominance & make examples of people who resist — except instead of surging in Iraq, it’s happening here in American cities.”
Don Moynihan on "Purge, Merge, and Surge"

Trump is treating inflation and high prices the way he treated Covid: claiming the numbers are going down.

But like Covid, he can’t lie his way out of this one because everyone is experiencing it. And like Covid it will be his downfall.
Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline."

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

Seems reasonable? Belgian 🇧🇪 PM De Wever says he has 3 conditions for agreeing to the #russianasset confiscation today: shared risk, joint guarantees and all EU countries do the same. Lets get this rolling
Costa was referring to the disagreement over confiscating €140bn in Russian assets and giving it to Ukraine.

Belgium is objecting because that money is based at Euroclear here in 🇧🇪 and they are worried they will be sued. 🇧🇪PM Bart De Wever wants a guarantee 🇪🇺 will cover them.

The American soldiers in Europe will decrease by about 3500 men. The USA had significantly increased its troop contingent in Europe as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine - instead of about 60,000 GIs, about 80,000, sometimes even around 100,000 American soldiers were stationed in recent years
