It's Europe Day! Today, we celebrate all that Europe stands for. And we celebrate all of us, the citizens of Europe. Because all together, we are Europe. Happy Europe Day!

The Rubio speech is incoherent and hypocritical. He denounces Soviet communism, the threat and division it sowed in Europe, yet has absolutely nothing to say about Ru's current attempt to restore restore the Soviet empire by re-invading and re-subordinating swaths of Europe. What's worse,...
Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Donald Trump declared late last night that he’d struck a deal on Greenland and won’t impose tariffs on European countries after all. But the sense of dread and skepticism among EU officials remains. 🔗 politi.co/3Ls4rVj
I found this very interesting perspective thread on FB.
This year is going to be like the final boss for optimists
⬇️ Vince Cable: "The OBR suggests that the cost to our GDP is even worse than some of the more pessimistic predictions." "We're talking about GDP being 5% less than it otherwise would have been. And that probably excludes the damage to business confidence"
Reporting to you from war torn Portland Oregon. At the ICE facility, things are... well, see for yourself.

It would be neat if it wasn’t marketed as AI. Predictive statistical modeling doesn’t really slide off the tongue I guess

Director of European Transport Safety Council: "Europe now risks being flooded with oversized, under-regulated US pick-up trucks and SUVs – heavier, more dangerous to other car drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, and completely out of step with Europe’s vision for safer, more sustainable mobility.”
Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · last yr.This is an INSANE decision by the E.U. “By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.” This will kill people.

The insistence here that Moscow has horrifying blackmail on Trump is just as nutty as MAGA world's dismissal of it. Do the Russians know bad stuff about Trump? Of course they do. Is it the weird stuff you guys think it is? Almost certainly not, and it's likely about money. /1
Benny Johnson was exposed for receiving payments from russia—look up the Tenet Media case on Google if you are unfamiliar with it It's no surprise that he's backing Nawrocki, just like all other pro-russian influencers are. Don't vote for Nawrocki, russia’s favored candidate
“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

Politikers forskerfortid får konsekvenser for hans søn
Da Folketinget behandlede lov om undtagelser til arbejdspligten, meldte en politiker sig på banen med sin egen historie.

Jeg var i salen i dag, selv om det egentlig ikke var mit ordførerskab - men fordi jeg er et eksempel på en gruppe af danske statsborgere, der bliver ramt af regeringens lovgivning. Mine børn stilles ringere, fordi jeg arbejdede som forsker i New Zealand. Det er da skørt. #dkpol
