This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know

Hillary Clinton reacts to the Atlantic story about the Trump administration group chat on Signal:

I honestly cannot express how awesome it is that the DoD was putting out these statements at the literal exact same time that the Secretary of Defense was negligently transmitting classified information on an unsecure platform to a journalist.

It's just utterly amazing. What a time to be alive.

I'm not sure why we are pretending this has anything to do with "DEI" anymore.

There is a systematic effort to purge any acknowledgement that race or racism or gender or misogyny EXIST

Look what's happening at the French Embassy in Washington DC.

MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy.

SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.

This would be the same Robert Jenrick that said during the Tory leadership campaign:

"If I was an American citizen I would be voting for Donald Trump".

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States"

With another set of news headlines about political elites using “””Roman salutes””” I just want to note that the Nazi salute means “I want to murder your family” and the n-word means “I want to lynch you.” That’s what they mean, they make me righteously angry, and I won’t let anybody minimize them.

If you care this much about defence, also be sure to follow the COVID-19 public inquiry next month as it grapples with emergency PPE procruement.
Now - not five years later - is the time to protect against price gouging and corruption risks in surged spending.

National Press Club statement: This is “a direct challenge to the independence of a free press in the United States”

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

The aid cut is so depressing. I know it's politically popular but it's going to cause an enormous amount of harm.

It's deeply frustrating that we've never found a way of explaining why it matters to UK voters even though it really does.

Donald Trump Jr has also shared this fake E! News video about USAID, which is the work of a well-known Russian influence operation that creates fake videos of major news outlets to disparage Ukraine.

This fake video now has more than 8 million views on X.

Elon Musk has shared this fake E! News video on X, which claims USAID has paid millions to Hollywood celebrities to visit Ukraine.

The clip, now community noted, is the work of a well-known Russian disinformation campaign that creates fake videos of news outlets to push anti-Ukrainian narratives.

🧵1/ It’s that time of year. As 2024 wraps up, let’s take a look back at some of Taiwan’s biggest moments covered by @wsj.com—plus a few highlighted features I was proud to deliver myself.
