Hemlig donator ger finansiellt stöd till EU-parlamentarikern Alice Teodorescu Måwe (KD). Enligt experter bryter upplägget mot både EU:s regler och grundläggande transparens. Bra gräv som nu sprider sig, @jacob.flamman.se

Och det finns en omfattande litteratur vid det här laget som visar hur nedskärningar leder till stöd för högerextremism. Inte skriven av marxistiska tokar som mig, utan av mainstream-forskare som tittar på väljarrörelser.

I read the Trump-backed “Save America Act” so you don’t have to. Here is my 8-point summary. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read the Act because, if they had, they would sound the alarm about Point 1, below

Pentagon Sends Marine Expeditionary
Unit to Middle East
By Lara Seligman
The Pentagon is moving a Marine expeditionary unit to the Middle East, as Iran steps up its attacks on the Strait of Hormuz, according to two U.S. officials.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has approved a request from U.S. Central Command, responsible for American forces in the Middle East, for the expeditionary unit, typically consisting of up to 2,500 Marines, the officials said.
The move comes as Iran's attacks on the strait have paralyzed traffic through the strategic waterway, disrupting the global economy, driving up gas prices and posing a major military and political challenge for President Trump. A Pentagon spokesperson declined to comment.

New drone maker partly owned by Trump sons hopes to win Pentagon contracts Among dozens of companies competing for Pentagon contracts to supply attack drones, one stands out: Powerus, flush with cash and ballooning in size as it buys up rivals.

"'It’s corruption,' said @kathleenclark.bsky.social Clark, a government ethics expert at Washington University School of Law in St. Louis. 'Government decision makers will feel pressure to use contract awards to enrich the president’s family.'"

 The majority of Iranians who see the January killings as unforgivable are lost over how to push for change. This includes Sara, a teacher in her forties who once hoped for the regime’s overthrow but now admits she has changed her mind.

“I’ve come to terms with the bitter reality: the Islamic republic is resilient,” she said. “I never thought I’d say this, but if someone from within the regime becomes a real reformer, why not? In the end, we just want peace and welfare.”

Marjan, a housewife, could not hide her emotions when news of Khamenei’s death broke. She had believed it would usher in the regime’s collapse. “Now I wonder, even if the Islamic republic falls, what will we inherit: a land in ruins?”

Tweet from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz:
Justice has been done.

I welcome the decision of the Chief Military Prosecutor, Major General Itai Ofir, to close the Sde Teiman cases against IDF soldiers and to cancel the indictment against them.

This trial was born in sin by the previous Military Advocate General, using a blood libel against IDF soldiers and criminal investigation methods, and I am glad that justice has been done and the trial has been canceled.

The role of the IDF's legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who engage heroically in war against cruel monsters, and not the rights of the terrorists of Hamas.

I am convinced that the decision will lead to a new path.

The Defense Minister of Israel says it was "blood libel" to go after Israeli soldiers caught on camera raping a Palestinian.

First 6 days of Iran war cost $11.3 billion, Pentagon tells Congress Officials briefed the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on defense. One senator said he believes the cost is higher sin

The cost of Trump's Iran War could more than cover:

-The daily cost of Medicaid for all 16M people expected to lose it under the Big Ugly Bill.

-Daily food stamps for all 41M people who rely on them.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
