It is Nazi Edolf and this sewer of Nazism, fascism, conspiracy theories, extremists or right and left fanatical bigots of all political colourings, Judenhass, religious multifarious mad ideologies, and garden variety lunatics that need to be squeezed into commercial extinction.
Between Musk & the Trump administration, Media Matters has been squeezed to the brink. In settlement discussions, lawyers for X demanded the organization hand over all its cash and shut down — all because MM reported ads appeared on X next to antisemitic content. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/u...
Other nations are going to have to prepare for the fact that at some stage they may need need to quarantine anyone who’s been in the United States with this certifiable lunatic in charge of public health.
“We have measles outbreaks every year," Trump's health secretary said when asked about the death, which is the nation's first in a decade.

Many recent Russian statements show that Putin remains uninterested in engaging in good faith negotiations and retains his objective of destroying the Ukrainian state while the Kremlin has offered no public indication that it would materially compromise.
MORE: Western intelligence assessments suggest that Putin has not changed his theory of victory in Ukraine and still believes that Russia's military superiority is such that Russia can outlast the West and Ukraine on the battlefield. (1/4) isw.pub/UkrWar021825

Don’t worry, everyone. Our HHS Secretary has a bag of meth, a blowtorch and some de-wormer and he’s all over this.
Kevin Hassett on Trump's avian flu plan: "What we need to do is have better ways w/ bio-security & medication & so on to make sure that the perimeter doesn't have to kill the chickens. To have a better, smarter, perimeter...they're killing chickens to stop the spread, but chickens don't really fly"

Thanks to the Republican Congress, and a tsunami of lies from Musk and others, the only US agency dedicated to tracking and exposing Russian and Chinese propaganda around the world ceases to exist www.france24.com/en/live-news...

"He asked why British far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson had been imprisoned at all. Musk also approvingly shared Robinson’s documentary to his more than 200 million followers" Musk's interventions should be taken seriously. The ideological leanings of oligarchical media barons can affect us all.

Censorship will begin - in the name of "anti-censorship"
Trump has vowed to crack down on universities involved in misinformation research, or what he dubs the "censorship cartel" - e.g. by curbing funds to those that have "flagged content for removal”, or legal threats “I'm pretty fucking scared," one professor tells me. www.ft.com/content/bfb4...

Biden has agreed to let Ukraine hit targets in Russia with US missiles. But there are more ways to shore up Ukraine in what remains an existential war. Europeans, for example, could release the $300 bln in frozen Russian assets... More: www.theatlantic.com/internationa...
