Sondage exclusif – Les Suisses se sentent très en sécurité mais identifient trois menaces www.letemps.ch/suisse/sonda...

Repeat after me: Russia has no legitimate security concerns; only its neighbours do. Russia has been the only one invading others.

Things about politics I’ve come to believe strongly: 1. Less bad is better than more bad 2. Nostalgia is generally incorrect. Things weren’t better 3. Still, things can get much worse 4. Democracy is an outlier in human political history 5. Optimism is rooted in agency, not positive predictions

The PM of the only Middle East country with nuclear weapons is warning that if he doesn’t win a country without a nuclear weapon will drop a nuclear weapon on Tel Aviv - using AI, because of course

Canada is moving away from Elon Musk’s Starlink, committing roughly $5 billion to Telesat and expanding satellite partnerships with Europe, South Korea and Norway. Carney cited Ukraine’s Starshield restrictions as a warning against relying on one provider.

Michael Ziegler, Mayor of Denmark’s Høje-Taastrup, chose to spend his autumn vacation driving 2,000 km to help Ukraine as a volunteer with Biler til Ukraine, delivering vehicles to Ukrainian defenders. Thank you, Michael, and everyone supporting Ukraine! 🇺🇦

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Collins claims all she knew was that Kavanaugh liked beer.

It’s come to something when a photographer has to get legal advice, before displaying this photo in an exhibition, due to the risk of being prosecuted as a terrorist, but that’s exactly what I had to do yesterday. What a state this country is in.

🚨 NIGHT FLOWER: Watch the trailer for our new investigative documentary diving into AIPAC. Our shocking new documentary speaks to AIPAC insiders and whistleblowers, unveiling the workings of one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the US. Stay tuned for the film release at insideaipac.com.

Personally, I think what really threatens American Jews is insisting our safety is dependent on denying what the whole world sees, that the Israeli gov committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Force people to think protecting Jews means denying reality, and they will stop caring about us.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🚀 Zelensky: Can you give me missiles for Patriot? Because when I don't attack them, because you asked me, they will attack me. It's fair if you give me something with which to defend myself. That's the minimum I'm asking for. And when I'm asking this, your answer is blocking Starlink.

A new Cyprus Confidential investigation found that Deloitte Cyprus signed off on backdated paperwork that helped companies beneficially owned by Roman Abramovich move billions of dollars in assets from Cyprus to the BVI, apparently to sidestep tax and transparency requirements.

Germany is infested with Russian collaborators; it would be nice that instead of the government militantly guarding the public from criticism of Israel’s war crimes and genocide in Gaza, if it would instead focus on actual spies and enemy agents operating within its country.

Today, in Russian propaganda:

For everyone who followed the “mysterious” assault on Ceuta: The US, Israel and Morocco agreed at a New York summit to upgrade diplomatic relations, appoint ambassadors, expand economic cooperation and advance the Abraham Accords.

The family of a Texas woman who died from a pregnancy-related condition has sued the state's Republican attorney general, Ken Paxton, and doctors who treated her, claiming an abortion could have saved her life and the state's near-total ban on the procedure is unconstitutional.

We should have learned from Brexit; if you treat the propaganda and troll networks as a speech issue rather than a coercive and realtime security threat then the manipulation of the population will never end. Running factchecks isn’t enough; halting propaganda mills needs action.

Nazi Germany voted away its democracy, Britain voted away its prosperity, and the US voted away both. Propaganda kills and troll farms are a weapon of war. Half measures and civilian counter propaganda and fact checking isn’t enough. We can’t win a war against an enemy that controls our minds.

The Kremlin continues to push a grand conspiracy theory about a supposed ‘Russophobic’ Western plot to destroy Russia, allegedly stretching back more than 200 years.

This is Kimchi. She can sleep through anything. Including a brief demonic possession. 13/10 (TT: tamrikhurtsilava)

In the US they’ve cut out the middleman and you can now order E Coli, Salmonella, and measles straight off the menu.

Stoltenberg: We did too little, too late. There was a long period from 2014 to 2022 when NATO and its allies hardly provided any military support to Ukraine at all, because many NATO allies were afraid that military support to Ukraine could provoke a Russian full-scale invasion.

Three years of stalling. Every appeal exhausted. The Supreme Court said no. And E. Jean Carroll just collected $5.6M from Trump for sexual abuse and defamation. The verdict held. The eagle has landed. E. Jean has her money.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

*Farage removes all his clothes in public and takes a dump on the floor* Chris Mason: "some might say this is not the act of a PM in waiting but others note in today's politics the public appreciate authenticity."
