The New US National Security Strategy Trump Says Openly That the US Wants to Dominate Europe and Make it MAGA

The Trump administration released its latest National Security Strategy--and one thing that can be said is that there is no more pretending. It’s a plan to weaken European unity, to make Europe MAGA, to force Europe to take economic dictation by the USA…. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Earlier this year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

In just the past day, we learned that Bulgaria will cut off Russian pipeline gas to Hungary; Hungary will purchase liquified natural gas from France and pipeline natural gas from Turkmenistan

Pressure works!

I thought I had found indications of a targeted GNSS jamming attack against president von der Leyen's aircraft this Sunday.

Then I disproved my own hypothesis. Here's how!

This is common in my work, I usually don't show it because it takes a lot of effort to explain also 0-results

YouTube video by Вячеслав Ширяев Кремль снова врёт — дыра в бюджете ещё в два раза больше! И закрыть её нечем!

The Court’s Liberals Are Trying to Tell Americans Something Justices Kagan, Jackson, and Sotomayor aren’t merely disagreeing with the majority’s technical readings of the law.

“The three liberal justices are writing about a majority unbound by law,” Aziz Huq argues—a dramatic change in the way that Supreme Court dissents work.

EU approves one of its “strongest” sanctions packages against Russia The European Union has finally approved one of its “strongest” sanctions packages against Russia, which includes lowering the price cap on crude oil.

🇪🇺 EU approves one of its "strongest" sanctions packages against Russia

Just spent two days discussing how/whether the Euro-Atlantic security community continues to hold together and in what form. Despite all the thoughtful analysis, you have to come back to the problem that its most powerful state is headed by someone who writes stuff like this.

This is just magnificent. Absolutely perfect.

Maurene Comey's goodbye note to SDNY colleagues:

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

A few hundred Americans of all ages standing in dappled sun with flags and signs

Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

RFK Jr. Is as Bad as We All Imagined If it walks like a quack, talks like a quack, and quacks like a quack. . .

Things could get very ugly very quickly. And folks like Senator Cassidy, who allowed this to happen, have a unique responsibility to try and stop it—if that’s even possible at this juncture.

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video.

Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

Thin blue-and-yellow line The line between American chaos and American greatness runs through Ukraine

Americans take to the streets to defend their democracy & & rule of law — & try to take back American identity

The ideology of “thin blue line” is nearing culmination

But it was originally meant as a warning against oppression by state violence. Read to the end:

Ukrainian refugees boosted Poland’s GDP by 2.7% in 2024, finds UN study

Ukrainian refugees boosted Poland’s GDP by 2.7% last year while not increasing unemployment or pushing down wages, finds a report by the UN refugee agency and Deloitte.

New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts.

But there was a slight hitch.

It hallucinated the size of those deals.

For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

Al Gore destroyed the orange cheeto.

NEW: Russia's refusal to give Ukraine its memorandum with its terms for a peace settlement before Ukrainian and Russian delegations met in Istanbul on June 2 ensured that the meeting was largely unproductive and further protracted the negotiation process. More ⬇️(1/3)

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.

The sharp-eyed reader will notice that well-documented Russian gunrunning freighter LADY MARIIA enters NATO territorial waters repeatedly without signs of fear.

I count 7 times along European coasts as she returns from delivering weapons to Congo. Not counting in English Channel or Öresund.
