EU leaders hold emergency Ukraine talks after Trump suspends aid


EU leaders hold emergency Ukraine talks after Trump suspends aid
European Union leaders are holding emergency talks to agree on ways to quickly increase their military budgets after the Trump administration signaled that Europe must take care of its own security and also suspended assistance to Ukraine.



Becoming a military global power by accident would be very EU. - Alexander Clarkson







The World Is A Safer Place Without Trump


More fentanyl was dispensed by Trump’s White House doctor per the pharmacy logs from his first term than what is crossing the border from Canada. - Kyle Keegan







France Is At The Ready To Replace Musk's Starlink. Mon Dieu.
French satellite operator Eutelsat Communications SA said talks with the European Union to replace Elon Musk’s Starlink in Ukraine are intensifying as the US pulls back from its commitments there.  



Too early to say, but Starmer, Macron, Merz and von der Leyen might actually have a chance to save the free world. - mrsorokaa







Today I’m angry. Enough of this criminal bullsh*t. I want that level of anger from our leaders. - Fred Wellman









If they can exempt cars you know it’s got nothing to do with fentanyl deaths. 

It’s all bullsh*t. - Dean_Winnepeg









Republican Shenanigans


Again for those in the back.

Government workers  paid by strict scale. GS-1 up to GS-15.

Doesn't matter if you have decades of experience or several degrees, scale tops out at GS-15.

And young DOGE employees are being paid GS-15 salaries. 

Why isn't there bipartisan outrage? - Janice Hough








I Truly Believe That Trump & Musk Enjoy This Cruelty
The newly installed caretaker at the Social Security Administration acknowledged this week that Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service is calling the shots as the agency races to slash thousands of jobs and shrink its budget, telling a group of advocates, “Things are currently operating in a way I have never seen in government before.”








Rep. Richard Neal: The average benefit is $24,000. That means half the people who get Social Security get less than $24,000 a year.

That's less than 400 bucks a week.

So for me, not a dime to be cut from Social Security, not a dime.







Elon Musk told Joe Rogan “The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.”

Without empathy, we are not humans. Or even worse: we’re monsters. - disavowtrump20








Yesterday King Charles was inspecting a British ship.

And YET he did so dressed as King of Canada wearing Canadian military decorations and Canadian honours, inc Order of Canada and Canadian Order of Military Merit.

Charles is sending us and the world a message, a LOUD message. - mikeggibbs








I see tomorrow is Friday. 

Is Friday going to be a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day?

Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else?

I just can’t keep track. - George Conway

Historians Rank Trump as Best President of Russia. - Andy Borowitz







Did Trump Just Demote Musk?













House Republicans have censured Al Green for heckling. He should have stuck to behavior the GOP approves of in the Capitol, like beating up police officers and sh**ting on desks. - Andy Borowitz

In case you needed a reminder. 

Amy Coney Barrett’s vote on the Supreme Court is what took the right to choose away from millions of women. - RealHousewifeMI
