"MAGA is looking for imperial expansion into Europe, promoting 'patriotic parties' on the far-right of our politics," says Jon Sopel.

"This needs serious attention."

Trump is making a move on Europe – and the UK is looking the other way

I’m disgusted that some senior DWP people have learned nothing about the scale of the misery their policies inflicted.

It’s high time the DWP showed some respect to carers and some awareness of their own gross errors.

Nothing would make Putin happier than having Trump destroy the US-EU relationship and having the US ditch NATO.

That's his Christmas list of idea outcomes.
Meiselas: The official Trump U.S. National Security Strategy document has been released. The document says a top priority of the U.S. is "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory." In other words, to destroy the European Union.

Based on Musk's recent post regarding EU, right after a chicken feed fine, collectively we failed to protect children from the social media companies and the ban is nothing more than an admission of failure.
Social media successfully divided and conquer us.

Europe has been underestimating its own power, especially towards Russia.
We should be more self confident.

The United States is still our biggest ally.
And it's in the interest of the U.S. that we work together.

Real men don’t punch down, and they especially don’t punch down at women.

This mashup of Trump’s disgusting attacks on female reporters — the same reporters who consistently show the most courage. And it’s past time for the other reporters in the room to have their backs!
