If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.

UD avviste for et halvt år siden at støtten til IPI var politisk styrt. Støre i dag: «vår vurdering i politisk ledelse var at dette var en riktig investering for Norge»
– Erfaringa vi i sum hadde med IPI, var positiv. Derfor inngikk vi nye avtaler.

– Det kan hende det kom motforestillinger rundt dette i UD, men vår vurdering i politisk ledelse var at dette var en riktig investering for Norge, sier Støre under høringen.

The audio of Mr. Paxton was shared with The Times by an attendee who recorded him speaking at a private fund-raiser in Washington attended by roughly a dozen people. The person, who opposes Mr. Paxton’s campaign and provided the recording to The Times, was granted anonymity because Mr. Paxton’s remarks were private.

Støre mener det ikke er dekning for å bruke ord som "ukultur" i Utenriksdepartementet. Jeg er enig der. Når unge kvinnelige trafficking-ofre blir ansatt som praktikanter mens de blir utnyttet av rike pervoer, ville jeg også brukt litt sterkere ord enn "ukultur".
