How Trump’s Directives Echo Project 2025 (Gift Article) President Trump attempted during his campaign to distance himself from the right-wing blueprint to overhaul the federal government, but many of his administration’s actions so far have mirrored it.

Post from a Bluesky account called scottdagostino.ca: “An astonishing exchange today between Pete Hegseth and a European reporter who has no time whatsoever for his bullshit. How I wish American media had an ounce of this steel.” Followed by a fake grandstanding transcript of an unnamed “European reporter” asking Pete Hegseth why the US didn’t win in Vietnam and so forth.

This “NATO transcript” is fake and I’m sad to see people repost it. I’m reporting it and blocking the account that originally posted it. Always worth checking your sources before you repost stuff that conveniently affirms all your political feelings, whatever side you’re on.

Undocumented immigrants with no other criminal record have been transferred to Guantanamo. Access to lawyers, denied. Their families kept in the dark.

Why were they taken from the U.S. and moved to a prison designed for terrorists? Unclear. Evidence suggests it might be because of their tattoos.

After Trump's comments on Gaza, why were some media afraid of using the term ethnic cleansing?
YouTube video by FRANCE 24 English After Trump's comments on Gaza, why were some media afraid of using the term ethnic cleansing?

Some US media avoided using the term ethnic cleansing in regards to Trump’s Gaza plan. Was this prudence or folly? Meanwhile certain French media appeared glossed over humanitarian and legal concerns to explore Gaza’s tourism potential. We discuss on this edition of Scoop.
