I compiled some thoughts on the strategic implications of Ukraine’s audacious “Operation Spiderweb”

A lot of folks are talking about the immediate impact, but I wanted to focus on how this strike will reverberate globally.

Unlocked for everyone.

As for many other things there is a German word for this, which is Führerprinzip.
i will remark again on this hallmark of maga politics, which is that trump embodies the organic will of the voters and this imbues him with sovereign power that cannot be checked or limited by any other institution in the society.
We must dissolve the Supreme Court and give Donald Trump unlimited powers. Or else we will have a dictatorship.

Trump is playing checkers, or tiddlywinks, while the rest of the world plays chess. His cuts have cost thousands of scientists their jobs or grants. Now they are being lured abroad. This is how the U.S. loses our global leadership and advantage. Sheer stupidity!

Wildflower strips in orchards attract insects that eat pests, reducing crop damage and cutting pesticide use. The savings can be significant, especially in bad aphid years. 🌸

Starmer should invite Farage to tour a NHS ward in central London to see how much he connects with working people.
Excl: Nigel Farage will challenge Sir Keir Starmer to accompany him on a visit to a working men’s club in the north of England to see who connects better with working people, as the Reform UK leader makes his pitch to traditional Labour voters.

Europeans reacted with a mix of exasperation and anger to the leaked messages between Trump administration officials that surfaced on Monday. The exchange showed officials criticizing “European freeloading” — along with contempt for Europe that was even louder behind closed doors.

I’m sorry but I’m still thinking about the Secretary of Defense texting “We are currently clean on OPSEC” to a group chat that, unbeknownst to him, included the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic magazine.
