As a European, I wonder how the midterms will turn out as Trump rigs and falsifies the results of his policy; he even extorts allies to that end. I see many great protests here, but do they represent the broader US population? What about those who don't read Bluesky?

Just another example of the deep corruption in the US.

How can we spot corrupt regimes? One way is this: The Trump administration is withdrawing the US from GRECO, a European organization that combats corruption. The US is thus only the third country to leave the organization, after Russia and Belarus. That gives you food for thought, doesn’t it?

Trump and his government are once again blackmailing the EU. He wants it to sell off a large portion of its emergency diesel reserves so that prices fall in the run-up to the mid-term elections. If Europe refuses to cooperate, the US will impose export restrictions. Disgusting.

Belgium has a massive budget deficit, yet its Defence Minister Francken is squandering money without putting contracts out to tender, wants less oversight, and meanwhile ordinary people are being forced to make severe cutbacks.
