We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.
I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

Hi All, sent this piece out yesterday. People are not talking enough about the vital strategic importance of Taiwan. What happens to Taiwan could determine to fate of the whole region--and I thought that needed to be said clearly (as Trump is threatening the Taiwanese).
Just sent out this piece about a place that is truly strategic and whose fate could determine the future of the Pacific--Taiwan. Militarily, Geographically, Economically, Symbolically, the fate of Taiwan is vital. This is why Trump threatening Taiwan is so ominous open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

The history of failed nominations reminds us just how far some of the Cabinet nominees fall below any reasonable standard. The Senate has a constitutional role, and in the past has exercised it.

TikTok is back up. This is all such performative nonsense by the kleptocrats and hypocrites who run DC. And we look like idiots to the CCP. Bluff called and we are flaccid.

First of all however, why is Ukraine forced to fight trench warfare? It's absurd Eu leaders don't supply Ukraine weapons they wld use, in numbers. The West wld use air and artillery superiority, not slog it in the trenches. And putin would fold.
This critical point is omitted from most discourse.

Kiedy wspólnie z prezydentem Trzaskowskim i marszałkiem Hołownią otwieraliśmy polską prezydencję, K. Nawrocki demonstrował z grupą działaczy pod hasłem Polexit. Pytanie jest proste: czy chcecie prezydenta budującego silną Europę, czy takiego, który z Putinem i jego sojusznikami będzie ją rozwalał?

Supporting the far-right in Germany and arguing for immigration in the country where one actually lives.
It all makes sense.

This report deepens my concern, as a European and a Westerner, regarding America's ability to comprehend how dangerous the world has become: we're seeing Democrat lawmakers warming to Musk's interest in cutting defence spending. But the U.S. does NOT spend too much.

When Trump says "we want our FBI back" what he really means is, he wants to make sure they can never investigate or prosecute him again. This is not democracy.

Russian tv tends to have a clear sense of who Trump’s appointments will be and what they will do.

The dialed strategy must end.

Ukraine and Europe need a new strategy against Russia.

We win, they lose.
Let the @Bundeskanzler phonecall be the last dying breath of the failed strategy of trading land for "peace" with a genocidal dictator. History keeps telling us that true peace can only be achieved through strength.

You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick.

You don’t skip FBI background checks unless his nominees have something to hide.

See what they’re doing? Please tell me you see what they’re doing.

Putin just cut off all gas to Austria to punish them for an Austrian court ordering Gazprom to pay Austria's oil giant OMV €240 million.

Putin did this to Ukraine in 2009, in winter also, people froze to death.

Russia will do to Europe everything they are doing in Ukraine.

My proposal on air defence capabilities for Ukraine:

"We have Air Defence capabilities that we are effectively hoarding for the negative-case scenario of a wider war with Russia. We do not want to fall short, this is understandable.
But only one part of Europe is getting bombed"
