White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

A brilliant gesture, sending a powerful signal: you follow the principles of constitution, not the whims of a temporary commander.

Hello US military and Ministry of Defense (no, not war), this is an example to follow. 👇🏽

It’s a disgrace. May he be identified and face justice.

The Right Is Changing the Rules of the Culture War For conservatives, cancel culture is in.

Must-read on the overt reverse-engineering (revealing the hypocrisy) of ”cancel cancel culture”.

It’s actually very similar to how perpetrators of physical abuse often blames the victim, or the victim’s reaction.

‘This is not a joke’: Chicago leaders slam Trump after president declares ‘Chipocalypse Now’ Trump and the rest of his administration has repeatedly suggested it would target the Midwest’s largest city for immigration raids and a federal law enforcement crackdown.

We from the European side watches in horror and wonder when the military commanders will step up and refuse to obey blatantly illegal orders.

JUST NU: Utsatt för rysk attack Det blev en dramatisk avslutning på EU-kommissionens ordförande Ursula von der Leyens resa till Bulgarien i går. Flygets GPS-systemet slogs ut i en befarad rysk attack – och piloten fick använda pappe...

Where is the democratic defense?Where are the leaders in the police and military who guide their forces towards non-obedience - when the orders are illegal?

If the Washington DC police obeys this clearly politically motivated farce, what next? Military action against US citizens on US soil?

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause.

I hope the many altruistic journalists, editors and news media executives and owners I have met all along my career - from Europe, Africa, Middle-East and Asia - will be able to continue to deliver independent reporting and investigations - attracting subscribers.

I hope you’re wrong. I hope people turn away from captured and manipulated channels.

Thank you for sharing. 🙌🏽
Had missed that one. Are the colors US political party related?

What is the Overton window?

The profit is necessary to sustain operations. Having a healthy economy - based on happy clients - is the only true independence. Subsidies and public service media are important - but against an autocratic backdrop, you don’t bite the hand that feeds you (or regulates you).
