America’s strength isn’t rooted in power alone, but in our allies across Europe and around the world. Weakening those ties weakens us. In a world of rising authoritarianism, partnerships remain one of our greatest strategic advantages.

The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.

❗️For days, russian troops have been pounding the Kherson CHP plant with drones, artillery, and various weapons — a purely civilian facility that kept the city warm.
The plant has stopped operating.
Over 40,000 people — 470 buildings — are now without heat.

This is clearly and flatly wrong, as evinced by every science-related policy decision and appointment, whether to do with universities or not.

Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

European reaction to the new American national strategy document
The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:
The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.
