Just heard Fetterman has written a letter urging a pardon for Netanyahu.

WTF is wrong with that guy? Are all leaders supposed to be able to commit crimes with impunity now?

Donald Trump and David Sacks aren't making policy – they're running a con. This executive order does little to protect innovation or the interests of Americans.

California will continue building a nation-leading innovation economy while implementing common sense safeguards.

Trump tonight after losing: “I wasn't working on it very hard. I wasn't very much involved.”

Below is one of NINE Truth Social posts he made about it, which is in addition to phone calls, visits to IN by Vance, numerous public statements, and threats by several henchmen.

Excellent news. Qualified majority is the way to go if the EU wants to move at speed and not be hostage to Victor Orban.
🚨 Big news: EU countries have approved the long-term immobilisation of the Russian Central Bank under Article 122, which requires only a qualified majority.

This is a key element of the reparations loan.

Every European country using Palantir's services should immediately terminate their contract as Palantir is a threat to European national security.
Super interesting reporting on Palantir‘s efforts to be used in Swiss governmental services and the military. They decided against it, because they worried Palantir was giving information to CIA and NSA and feared a loss of national sovereignty.

Excellent thread: basically Russia's money is now gone and there's nothing that the US or Putin (or Hungary) can do about it. 👇
The European Union has triggered Article 122 to indefinitely immobilise the assets of the Russian Central Bank, worth a whopping €210 billion.

I explain what just happened and why this is such a big deal for Europeans.

🧵 Long thread.

Last night marked Kuf Alef Kislev—the 81st anniversary of the Satmar Rebbe's escape from Nazi-occupied Europe. His rescue and founding of Williamsburg's Hasidic community shaped our city. Grateful to celebrate this history with the community and greet the rebbes.

Remember that Trump and his propagandists tried to gaslight you into believing there was no percentage in taking on this fight, that it was hopeless. And a certain cadre of pundits tried to persuade you that Dems didn't dare discuss this in public.

Still not over yet but a big step forward.
HUGE. Judge Xinis grants the writ of habeas corpus and orders that the government "SHALL release [Kilmar] Abrego Garcia from ICE custody immediately."

Imagine serving as a Marine and then having a distinguished career in the FBI investigating actual terrorist threats and then having to go in front of Congress and say you’re afraid of Antifa. Absolutely humiliating.
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now
