Europe based, squinting at the US mess, hoping to prevent the elections of Farage and the French RN (aka Temu Trumps in Europe's only 2 nuclear powers, aka Russia's 2 main targets outside Mar-a-Lago)

10 Years of Brexit 🇬🇧🇪🇺 Democracy demands an opposition. But in the aftermath of the Brexit ref, instead of pausing to consider what the result meant and what the impact for different sectors might be, Corbyn's Labour was just as eager to support a hard Brexit as Johnson and Farage! #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This is a brilliant midterms play. As someone with a PhD in Political Science, one thing studies show again and again is that before making up their minds, voters go to congress.gov and search bill histories to see which party introduced legislation affecting the prices of common consumer goods.

I have absolutely no idea what Trump is trying to accomplish in Iran, or how he plans to accomplish it, and the fun thing is that neither does he! That's why the constitution does not give the President the authority to launch wars without Congressional approval.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering today.
