The Commission should deliver the promised deregulation VERY QUICKLY! We don't have a second to lose. The USA is pulling further and further ahead every day. If we don't want our children begging to clean toilets in the USA, we need to fix the economy NOW.

The 🇪🇺 Commission presents a "compass" 🧭 to boost EU's competitiveness... "It's like astrology! Let's not wait 5 more years, we'll be poor! I could do the same job in the US for double the salary and half the taxes" @ConnorAllenEU Watch #BrusselsMyLove all weekend on Euronews

There is a great deal of hubbub about a collective “middle powers”strategy these days. At DoW, we are not concerned that this is a serious possibility. Rather, we are more concerned that a few allies and partners will *think it is* and waste valuable time, money, and political capital on a distraction. 1/

@Plinuz @EU_Propaganda Sure but when you compare it to the obvious beauty, culture and dignity of Napoli, which is apparent immediately and doesn't need to go searching for gems to find, you get a real sense of what true Italy is.

@PedroPetizViana Didn't see you at the event, Pedro. Big shame - would have loved to have said hi. Hope you enjoyed the Ambassadors speech. A real sense of EU-USA love and unity.

The EU does not have an overarching first amendment that applies to every Member State, ensuring freedom of expression, the ambassador claims. Mind you, the ECHR and the Charter, which stipulate the right to freedom of expression, are applicable to every Member State.

Listening to the US Ambassador to the EU. Departing from diplomatic tradition - but very much in Trump style - the ambassador refers to specific legislation that he considers the EU should eliminate. Deforestation law, corporate sustainability rules.

I don't have much in common with the poshos of Uccle but I 100% get why they don't want a Fedasil asylum center. The situation in front of their building on Rue Belliard, heart of the EU quarter, is a national disgrace. brusselstimes.com/brussels-2/222…

Fantastic turnout for Brussels Liberty Network tonight to listen to @USAmbEU. I had the honor of briefly meeting Ambassador Puzder before his speech - I told him that Europe is still full of those who love liberty, free markets, and the United States, and always will 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@ConnorAllenEU @txgermanbre You saw “über” in my name and built a whole fantasy. Clown behavior. Im not German but i bet u Trumper. And crying over a pile of trash? That’s your problem. If it offends you so much, go crawl back inside whatever leader you worship. I’m not here to babysit trash fascists.

@ConnorAllenEU Brussels is basically if you took the worst parts of Los Angeles and San Francisco and made it the capital of Europe unfortunately

I could tell that you're German before reading your name because you looked at a bad thing and instead of saying 'that is bad' you said 'it is the rules/procedure that caused this and it is normal'. Big piles of garbage are a bad thing! But when they're next to the supposed capital of European democracy, it's humiliating, undignified, and unbecoming.

@txgermanbre @ConnorAllenEU both Belgium and the Netherlands use a strict district based garbage collection system, and putting bags outside on the wrong day is forbidden. so seing big piles of trach on some days in some streets is normal. waiting for the garbage truck to pick it up in the night....

The overwhelming majority of these were entirely avoidable. By refusing to promote widespread rollouts of AC and heat pumps, governments are literally sacrificing Europeans for the climate.

Around a quarter of all businesses are scaling Agentic AI with mainstream widespread adoption envisioned for 2028. And the Commission is only just talking about releasing an LLM in 2029. By then the world will have moved far beyond standalone LLMs.
Eddy Wax ✍️@EddyWax

Commission staff are pressing for an AI model that 'think's like an 'experienced' EU official ... and want it to be rolled out within three years. More details in Rapporteur euractiv.com/news/rapporteu…

Middle powers are like academia. internal politics vicious because there is really nothing at stake. Jokes aside, Middle power concept does not just fail due to internal differences but EU, ASEAN, Quad have clearly proven hard power cannot be effectively pooled. More is less.
Mohamed A. El-Erian@elerianm

Passages from The Economist article by Mark Carney and Alexander Stubb, Canada's Prime Minister and Finland's President (link below). In their piece, "Prepare for a world of ad hoc coalitions," they set out a third-way vision of middle powers. economist.com/by-invitation/… #economy #markets @TheEconomist

@mepassistants @sciencespo Sciences Po and College of Europe are killing both Brussels and the EU. No dissenting or critical thought has yet emerged amongst the alumni ever. Have you ever done any streams with opposing views, Quentin? Could be interesting to watch.

I don't think it's cheap. Expand it into a critique of Brussels trash collection if you want to but the EU Parliament obviously exerts an influence on that in exactly the same way as Parliament influences Westminster Councils bin collection practices. Regardless of who's to blame, it's a mountain of trash within spitting distance of Parliament. It's demeaning!

@ConnorAllenEU I'm always in for flagellating the Bubble and their awkward environment, same same for dirty & dysfunctional Brussels. But such a post is too cheap for you. Btw, ever checked the corners around Einstein, or Japanese-American Memorial after a sunny weekend?
