A split-screen comparison titled "In January, we... stood up to the new US President." The left (black) side lists policies like "Withdrawal from the World Health Organisation" and "Mass deportations" marked with X's. The right (white) side shows Volt's counter-positions with checkmarks, including "Science-based international cooperation" and "Decency". Two overlapping social media style frames. One features a portrait of "MARAL," noting she received over 350,000 votes in the German Bundestag election. The other shows a European flag graphic with the text "We need an EU army NOW" and a call to sign a petition. A photo of a man standing on a ledge in front of the European Parliament building in Brussels. He is holding a large cardboard sign that reads "UNITED STATES OF EUROPE NOW". The caption below reads "launched the idea of the United States of Europe". A graphic with the Volt logo and an EU flag ribbon. The central text reads "AT VOLT WE WANT TO BECOME A EURO PARTY" followed by the playful prompt "Euro... what?". The bottom caption says "set out a plan for becoming a Europarty".

A Volt Europa campaign graphic with a purple gradient background. In the centre, there is a screenshot of a tweet from Volt Europa replying to JD Vance. The Volt Europa tweet says: “Making Big Tech follow the law is not censorship, it’s democracy. And thanks for your concern, JD. But the EU will not be lectured on free speech by the Trump administration. 😉🇪🇺”. Beneath it is JD Vance’s original tweet, which reads: “Rumors swirling that the EU commission will fine X hundreds of millions of dollars for not engaging in censorship. The EU should be supporting free speech not attacking American companies over garbage.” The Volt logo appears in the top-right corner. At the bottom of the graphic, white text says: “United States of Europe NOW! Sign the petition!”.

I agree with Trump. It rarely ever happens, but in this interview…

In between the nonsense, Trump said something about Europe’s political leaders that is true:

“I think they don’t know what to do”

And 

“Europe doesn’t know what to do”

🤯 The National Security Strategy of the USA was just published. It’s an explicit plan to weaken the EU: they want Europe to operate as a group of sovereign nations.

Their strategy even prioritizes: “Cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations.”

The civil war in Sudan has devastated the country. A leaked UN report and Amnesty International suggest that the weapons from the UAE, Serbia, Russia, China, Turkey, Yemen, and the UK have ended up in the conflict region. Europe could stop that 👉 https://loom.ly/j-VfeyU
This image is a graphic by 'Volt' on a red background, featuring a text headline and a photograph of a displacement camp, which is identical to the first image provided. The headline text in white and black states: "CIVIL WAR IN SUDAN HAS ALREADY KILLED OVER 150,000 PEOPLE. THE STATES PROFITING FROM IT AREN'T FACING CONSEQUENCES – AND THE EU COULD CHANGE THAT." Below the text, a photograph shows a densely packed refugee camp with numerous makeshift tents, people walking, and donkeys in a dry, dusty environment. At the very bottom, there is a prominent button with a link icon and the text: "READ OUR STATEMENT".
