BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

In my Grifters and Ideologues theory, Hegseth is your classic grifter. Hegseth doesn't know his job well and doesn't care to know if well. He is obsessed with how people look, which reveals a profound lack of understanding of the military and an obsession with tv.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.

Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.

Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.
