Europe is turning away from America. 🥹
Why America still needs Europe

US firms sell $3.6 trillion worth of stuff to Europeans. There are valuable military bases across Europe that allow America to project power globally. And the US is infinitely more powerful as the leader of The West, ie with Europe

Unnecessary cruelty.

Why?

Transgender are less than 1% of the population, people! Let them live their lives.

This could be “the largest public corruption scandal in the history of the United States"—amounting to a $2B bribe from an Emirati royal and the sale of the world’s most valuable artificial intelligence chips to the UAE, despite national security concern. trib.al/iZEOnGq

Emil Bove’s tenure as acting deputy attorney general should disqualify him from serving as a federal judge.

This is a bone-chilling account of what one witness reports Bove and others are doing to the rule of law. (Ignore the milquetoast headline and focus on the substance).

The world is more divided than ever, but there’s still something (nearly) everyone agrees on: The US is unloved.

Warren: Whenever there’s a crisis anywhere in the world—terrible things happen—and investors, you know what they do? Investors go to the United States government treasuries, because damn, it just doesn’t get any safer than that.

Except with Donald Trump as president.

The Social Security Administration has already cut 7,000 jobs.

As a result, its website is crashing. Phone lines are overwhelmed. Beneficiaries can't get service.

What is DOGE recommending now? More layoffs. 

Let it be known that Trump is effectively cutting Social Security.

A relief to hear this said. Trump operates from the same untested, blustering ideas he had in the 80s. They weren’t good then and even less so now.

It would be great if BUSINESS LEADERS were prepared to say what they clearly know - that Trump only knows how to run a muscle racket. And here we are.
Walz: "It's like Trump is stuck in the '80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. He's been on this tariffs thing forever and every economist will tell you they just don't work ... I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country is that Trump understands anything about business."

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER

Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania.

He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

Social Security is the largest source of income for most beneficiaries — and it keeps 22 million people out of poverty.

Meanwhile, Trump’s billionaire Commerce Secretary says that seniors won’t care if they don’t receive their benefits.

Government for the rich, by the rich.
