The Prime Minister of Poland appeals to US and publicly questions whether “something has changed” to make the US no longer a European ally.

The Deputy Prime Minister responds to Musk saying the EU should be abolished by telling him to “Go to Mars.
There's no censorship of Nazi salutes there.”

Feminism isn’t about taking anything from men.

It’s about giving women what we’ve always deserved: full humanity, full rights, full voice.

Long overdue.

In its US national security strategy memo, the Trump administration claimed Europe is facing the “stark prospect of civilizational erasure.”

It said it will support “patriotic” far-right parties across Europe to prevent a future in which “certain NATO members will become majority non-European.”

Trump won this district by 22 points. We’ll see what the margins are in the end, but the fact that this race was even close bodes well for Democrats in 2026 and will totally freak out Republicans (Mike Johnson especially).

@aftynbehn.bsky.social did a good and courageous thing.

Like Trump, Jeffries is largely pro-corruption because he benefits from it too, but one thing Trump, Jeffries, and Cuellar also have in common is their responsiveness to the pro-Israel lobby.

We must stop tinkering around the edges of a broken healthcare system.

Yes, let's extend the ACA tax credits to prevent a huge spike in healthcare costs for millions. Then, let's finally create a system that puts your health over corporate profits.

We need Medicare for All.

ICYMI this morning, some new Epstein materials dropped, including fuel for dental related nightmares:
🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received never-before-seen photos and videos of Jeffrey Epstein's private island that are a harrowing look behind Epstein’s closed doors.

See for yourself. We won’t stop fighting until we end this cover-up and deliver justice for the survivors.

The entire phenomenon strikes me as primarily grift and calling it an “asset class” is ridiculous.

More concerning is that the data is marketed as “predictive” when the reality is they are often used to be manipulative of narrative and outcomes.

His claiming it’s “the truth” is a major red flag.

A partnership between Kalshi and CNN was announced today (www.axios.com/2025/12/02/c...). The use of these supposedly predictive data sets are said to be championed by Harry Enten.
The co-founder of Kalshi says: " The long-term vision is to financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion."

I hope Admiral Holsey is called to testify publicly once he retires. I imagine the boat strikes weren’t the only concern he had.
Exclusive: The four-star admiral in charge of Caribbean operations had concerns about the legality of the boat strikes. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asked him to retire shortly after they started.
