Warum Maga sich im UK schon jetzt deutlich machtvoller einmischt als im Rest Europas. Und warum Grossbritannien gegen diese Art der 'foreign interference' sehr viel schlechter gewappnet ist als andere Länder in Europa.

A deeply reported piece on Maga-meddling in the UK. What remains unexplored are the real levels of popular support for the various strands of the UK hard-right. Research in Germany points to worringly high levels of support for authoritarianism-what's the UK equivalent? Sth for a follow-up piece?

It’s reassuring to see that the Union has capable and principled politicians like her — leaders who call things by their name, saying that a chair is a chair and a table is a table. And who have the courage to state the truth: that Putin is a warmonger and a war criminal.

Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat, on Europe in an era of strongmen | The Economist Insider Kaja Kallas’s uncompromising stances on Russia and China have ruffled feathers in some European capitals. But “Europe’s new iron lady” remains unfazed. In the first episode of Inside Geopolitics David Rennie, our geopolitics editor, talks to the diplomat about how Europe has been changed by the war in Ukraine, whether to believe Vladimir Putin’s stated ambitions and why Donald Trump’s America is better than Europe at turning economic power into geopolitical clout. Ms Kallas is the vice-president of the European Commission and served as Estonia’s first female prime minister from 2021 to 2024.  

Her uncompromising stances on Russia and China have ruffled feathers in some European capitals. But “Europe’s new iron lady” remains unfazed.

Strong interview by @dsorennie.bsky.social on Europe's survival in a world of strongmen. Frank on China ("key enabler in Ukraine") and likewise (!) on EU member states (without unity EU's growing toolkit has little worth). The partnership-strategy invites more probing-e.g. what's in it for others?

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.

But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump may actually be part of that global elite.

Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

53% of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to American democracy.

Meanwhile, just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion on federal elections last year — a 160-fold increase since Citizens United.

The people know: billionaires should not be able to buy our elections.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Horrible.

Does not bode well for future elections at all.

Nor does silencing and censoring media with investigations, abuse of regulatory authority and lawfare.

No free elections without free media.

Cutting off food assistance for 40 million Americans four days before the election, while you simultaneously throw a lavish Gatsby party for your friends, will probably go down as one of the worst moves the GOP has ever made.

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

Why not call it just Christianity, then?

Worshipping a nation is just as wrong as worshipping heathen idol, money, power, race or material possessions according to the Bible.

With any respect for Jesus, the least one should do is not mix them and attach his name to things he advocated against.

It's blasphemy to be a fake Christian, because it's a lie and also using God's name in vain for an agenda that isn't Christian.

Christian Nationalism is a contradiction in terms.
