Russia enters Viktor Orban's election campaign, providing consultants who will flood social media with messages designed, ironically, to frame Orbán, a Russia puppet, as "the only candidate who can keep Hungary sovereign" From @financialtimes.com giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Even as ICE receives $170B in new funding, it has stopped paying for medical care for detainees — including life-saving medications, dialysis, and chemotherapy treatments. Remember: Over 70% of detainees have no criminal convictions. Cruelty on steroids.

ICE has stopped paying for detainee medical treatment
ICE halted payments in October, and the situation will persist for at least several more months

A must watch by Richard J Murphy. "The key issue isn't collapse then, it's the fragility that is now built into a one-currency world system of trade when the currency is created by a country that has clearly indicated it doesn't believe in trade anymore..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqv-...

Hegseth falsely cited weapon shortages in halting shipments to Ukraine, Democrats say
Reports indicate defense secretary unilaterally acted to halt shipment even as Pentagon suggested US arsenal is stocked Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, unilaterally halted an agreed shipment of military aid to Ukraine due to baseless concerns that US stockpiles of weapons have run too low, it has been reported. A batch of air defense missiles and other precision munitions were due to be sent to Ukraine to aid it in its ongoing war with Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of its neighbor in 2022. The aid was promised by the US during Joe Biden’s administration last year. Continue reading...

Sobering historic fact: The anti-communist McCarran-Walter Act that Rubio is using to deport students in the name of antisemitism was written by an antisemite, and in practice, used to block European Jews from entering the US. Such tools can be used on any immigrant group for any reason.
Using antisemitism as an excuse for the right to pursue long-held grudges against higher education and immigrants puts Jewish people, unwillingly, at the center of an authoritarian agenda. Yair Rosenberg in The Atlantic wrote an article “Trump’s Jewish Cover Story”:

Donald Trump and his allies have been using “anti-Semitism” as a pretext to advance a radical agenda that has nothing to do with Jews at all—and that most American Jews do not support…But the lesson most American Jews have drawn from their history as a persecuted people is that narrow nationalisms never end well for those who are different, because no matter their patriotism or contribution to the collective, their difference will always make them suspect. Jews may be inside the circle of concern today, but that circle is always shrinking, and Jews will ultimately not determine who it includes.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

They begged a NATO ally to free a sex trafficker but won’t lift a finger to bring back a man they accidentally deported to a dictatorship? Says everything. This isn’t foreign policy it’s a cartel with flags, and the cruelty is the point.

The irony is that new IRS agents were hired specifically to audit high income earners - NOT like "YOU," but like ELON. He uses regular people as a shield to protect himself and his pals from clawing back what we lose to tax cheats. Elon's fans are useful idiots as he consolidates wealth for himself.
