📰🇪🇺 Fears grow in Europe that Putin could attack within a year — WP

Previously, Berlin and other capitals believed that Russia could threaten NATO’s eastern flank by 2029. Now, the consensus is growing that it could happen much sooner — before Europe can build up its own military power.

European countries are going to have to recognize the reality that over the next 3 years the US govt is going to operate like Russia - engaging in systematic efforts to tamper in their elections to elect far-right parties & candidates. It will be worse if Vance becomes president.

President Donald Trump said Thursday morning that he had to win the 2024 presidential election. Otherwise, he said, he would have had a "bad ego."

During his remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast, the president repeated his false claim that the 2020 election was "rigged."

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I don't know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don't. *crowd groans* I know we have some here today. I don't know why they're here, because they certainly don't give us their vote ... they cheat."

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.
