I have a genius idea for wiping out the US's 40 trilloin debt.
Charge 5 bucks a pop for people who want to piss on Donald Trump's grave.

🇺🇸🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 BREAKING: PENTAGON PRIVATELY URGES BALTIC NATO ALLIES TO TONE DOWN WARNINGS ABOUT RUSSIA
According to an exclusive Reuters investigation, senior Pentagon officials have privately pressured European NATO allies, including Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, to moderate their public rhetoric about the Russian threat.
Key revelations:
• The requests were delivered during private bilateral meetings.
• Pentagon officials reportedly argued that strong public warnings about Russia could undermine European security.
• An Estonian delegation was specifically urged to adopt a more measured tone.
• US Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby personally delivered the message to at least one Baltic official.
The discussions come as Washington pursues renewed diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine and reviews its military presence in Europe.
One European official summarised the American message:
“Just don’t be loud. Don’t make noise.”
The revelations raise serious questions about the growing divergence between Washington and NATO’s eastern flank over how openly Russia’s military and hybrid threats should be addressed.
At a time when European countries are reporting repeated airspace violations, sabotage attempts and attacks on critical infrastructure, the Pentagon is reportedly asking some of the countries most exposed to Russia to lower their public warnings.
Reuters notes that the discussions were not described as confrontational. The Pentagon declined to comment.

Since Europe is funding Ukraine and the US is not, Europe must take control of negotiations. Trump should not be dictating any terms when we pay the bill.
Let’s end the circus

This is what billionaire ownership of the media means:
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta shut down the No Kings account for hours during the height of their protests.
Meta suppressed accounts supporting Brazil President Lula da Silva in the recent election.
Larry Ellison’s TikTok blocked advertising for a documentary criticizing Elon Musk.
Fight back. Defeat oligarchy. Preserve democracy.

5/5 Now, I love America. I'm writing this because I want ordinary Americans to understand the consequences of these disastrous decisions.
The damage being done to America's reputation won't be reversed by the results of the next elections. It will take decades to rebuild that trust.
And the economic consequences, while not immediate, will go much further than a potential 2 cents per gallon decrease in diesel prices.
And if you think the world doesn't notice, or that everything I'm describing is just hypothetical, let me give you two examples of what is already happening.
These decisions were made even before the latest Starshield restrictions, which only make the problem much worse.
Airbus, one of the world's largest aircraft manufacturers, has already signed a contract to move 70 critical applications from Amazon AWS to French cloud provider Scaleway, with plans that could eventually include 900 applications.
Airbus specifically mentioned concerns about foreign laws and potential "kill switches" when choosing its new provider.
In the Netherlands, one of the country's largest telecom companies, KPN, partnered with German Schwarz Digits to build European cloud infrastructure using STACKIT, hosted in Dutch data centers and controlled by European companies.
The Dutch government has also approved STACKIT as an alternative cloud provider for its agencies.
These aren't some people complaining about Trump on Twitter.
These are major corporations signing real contracts, investing real money and building infrastructure to reduce their dependence on American technology.
And that's the part Americans need to understand.
For decades the USA was a reliable partner. Republicans and Democrats disagreed about plenty of things, but America's foreign policy was built around long-term strategic interests and institutions that survived changes in presidents.
Countries trusted the USA enough to build entire industries around its technology.
Now a foreign government has to consider whether some American president might wake up tomorrow wanting cheaper gas, believing another promise from Putin, getting angry with its elected leadership, or trying to get a better deal for his friends.
And suddenly technology that was supposed to make that country more productive becomes a potential political weapon against it.
The USA spent decades making the world dependent on its technology because the world trusted America.
Now American companies will be paying the price for political decisions they didn't make, long after the politicians responsible are gone.
And no election in the USA will magically restore that trust.

I’m here for it, there’s absolutely no reason to fit a car with a jet propulsion system, like Elon isn’t an engineer or an innovator, he’s a billionaire con artist and a fucking idiot

European nations need to stop buying American and Chinese weapons and technology. It will be extremely painful, but necessary in the long run.
Imagine a scenario in which Russia invades an EU country, and the Russian agent playing the role of American president decides to shut down fighter jets and weapons systems using a kill switch.
According to SIPRI, 58% of major arms imported by European NATO countries in 2021–2025 came from the US.
And we shouldn't forget about China. In Norway, Chinese-made vehicles used during a military exercise recorded soldiers' movements, sensitive locations and even access codes to military facilities.
It's time to invest massively in Europe's own defence and technology industries.

BREAKING🚨 A Michigan nurse lost her job and now faces up to a year in federal prison because a patient with a bloodied face walked out of the hospital before ICE could take him.
Chloe Freeman, a registered nurse at Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital, is charged with "instigating or assisting escape," which carries up to a year in prison. She has pleaded not guilty. She goes back to federal court in Detroit on October 20.
On May 28, Border Patrol agents went after a Mexican man in Ann Arbor. The agents say he ran, tripped over a curb and hit his face on the pavement. He was bleeding from the head when they brought him to the hospital, where staff saw in his paperwork that he was in ICE custody.
After his CT scan, the FBI says Freeman took out his IV and walked him to the ambulance bay. Security footage shows him going out the doors with his face bandaged and bloody. Nobody has found him since.
When the hospital questioned her in June, Freeman said she disagreed with ICE "separating people from their families." She said that with injuries like his, he "could have died." She also said no agents were in the room during the scan, so she didn't believe he was in custody at that point. Even the prosecutors' own announcement says agents stayed with him only until he was moved to imaging.
Trinity Health fired her. She has since moved away.
Shahad Atiya, an immigration attorney and law professor, said she has never seen this charge used in immigration cases, as Ruta Ulcinaite first reported in WXYZ Detroit (ABC 7). She expects it to become "a new set of charges" aimed at anyone who helps immigrants.
Prosecutors charged a misdemeanor, not a felony. That means no grand jury ever had to approve the case. Grand juries in Los Angeles and Chicago have refused to indict anti-ICE protesters on felony charges.
A petition calling for the charge to be dropped warns it tells healthcare workers that "showing compassion for a patient could cost them their freedom and their career." Nurses and hospital workers are being asked to show up at the Detroit courthouse on October 20 in their scrubs and lab coats.
