Dear Americans, could you please tell your crazy Secretary of Health to stay out of our business? If you like having a lunatic at the helm of your health policy, that's your business. We prefer dealing with people whose brains haven't been eaten by a worm.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

So you attacked a sovereign state and kidnapped its president without a declaration of war. I had nothing but dislike for Maduro, but that's beside the point.

The US is now definitely a rogue state, no different from Iran, Russia, and North Korea.
Shame on you ALL!

Just a reminder, prompted by the reports about Trump's Halloween party at a time when millions of Americans are losing their SNAP benefits: Marie Antoinette is said to have remarked, "Let them eat cake."
She probably never said it, but the fact remains, she still lost her head.

Think about that.

🧵 I just checked the English Wikipedia, but there's still no article about the #Epsteinballroom. There is indeed one about the "White House State Ballroom," but #Epstein is only mentioned in the external links section.

A few days off and a trip to one of my favorite cities: Berlin, the capital of my country.
The "Festival of Lights" started today. Simply beautiful. The city is colorful, diverse, and peaceful.
No Gestapo called ICE, no soldiers on the streets, no fascists at the levers of power...

So, after JD Vance, Marco Rubio now feels compelled to tell us that our treatment of today's Nazis (=AFD party) is undemocratic. To put it mildly, they use far more drastic language. Well, my message to these two fascists and all other MAGAs is: Go f* yourself.

As a European, especially as a German, I approve this message.
And I warmly welcome every scientist and student of science in Europe.

Donald Trump's self-proclaimed genius is so well hidden beneath a dense layer of ignorance, a slathered on veneer of stupidity, and an imaginary Iron Dome of responsibility deflection, that not even his most fervent admirers can actually see that single neuron of intelligence hanging by a thread.

Merrick Garland’s inaction may have ended democracy in the United States. But at least he’ll always have his norms.

French President Macron has invited Trump to the reopening of Notre-Dame. The ducking, bowing, fawning and begging for mercy has already begun. I never thought Macron would start it. To put it in a phrase we use: I can't eat as much as I want to vomit.

Great thread.
1. I would like to congratulate every member of the Washington press corps who decided to play along with Donald Trump’s campaign. By doing so, you helped normalize a liar, fraud, adjudicated rapist, convicted felon, and traitor, making him seem to voters just like any other politician.

To be clear, the real reason republicans don’t give a shit about Pete Hegseth being a rapist as well as being highly unqualified to be Secretary of Defense is because they voted for and are led by a highly unqualified rapist convicted felon. Hope that clears things up a bit.

No man has done more to undermine our Democracy than Sen McConnell (R-KY) He took to the floor to complain that two federal judges said they weren’t going to resign because Trump won. Remember in 2020 he was actively seeking out judges to resign so the Trump could replace them. Oh the hypocrisy!!

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

I will never forgive Bloomberg news for normalizing Trump and giving him a HUGE platform by interviewing him on October 15.

Can you please RT and follow us so we can overtake them them on Bluesky?

This will be a huge victory for new media. 💙🙏

Yes, we know. And we will never understand how you could allow this criminal to get away with it and come back to power.
I don’t care how many cases against him get dropped, delayed or buried. He’s guilty as sin and the whole world knows it.

He is deliberately scaring these people. It's not terrorism—but it is politically motivated abuse intended to cause fear.

Americans will learn in the coming years that it would have been wise to listen to a Trump and Musk biographer who's called both men evil (at least in the way any human can be).
