"For more than 80 years, the US was the pre-eminent ally of Europe. The end of that alliance has seemed unthinkable, but it has nevertheless arrived, and wishing that things were different will not bring the alliance back to life." I wrote for @cepa.org on a post-US West. cepa.org/article/a-we...
A West Without America
The world is becoming a more troubled and dangerous place. Europe’s rift with the US must produce a new security deal for the West.

Trump just praised Tom Homan and said he stands by Kristi Noem.
Homan is not a real improvement. It just gives Republicans cover. He’s as bad as Greg Bovino, if not worse.
Same cruelty, same abuse of power. He just skips the Nazi outfit.

Realists who advocate compromise w Ru always claim/assume that all Ru wants from Ukr is to control its foreign policy. As Ru keeps partitioning Ukr and working to absorb each chunk through genocidal Russification, the realists’ stubborn denial of Ru’s attempt to destroy Ukr nation discredits them.

This is insane not just the explicit "go break the 4A" substance but how they knew how bad it was, acting in guilty paranoia to cover it up and suppress the written evidence.
This isn't how running a government agency works. This is what a criminal conspiracy looks like, because that's what it is.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Feels like something cracked today in the transatlantic alliance. Europeans have been swallowing their pride, bitting their tongues, and bending the knee. That strategy may have bought them time but it has now clearly failed. It also had a major cost - it has made the WH think Europe will cave. 1/

Amid Russian attacks on power grid & rolling blackouts, Lviv families build a colorful igloo in the courtyard.
Families spent 3 days freezing dyed water in containers, creating bright ice bricks stacked into a dome. Kids still play and build despite the cold & darkness.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
