LEAKED: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned Zelensky during a now leaked call: “You need to be extremely careful in the coming days. They [the Americans] are playing games, both with you and with us.” Other leaders echoed alarm: Macron: The U.S. might “betray Ukraine on the issue of territory” Stubb: “We must not leave Ukraine—or Volodymyr—alone with these guys.” Rutte: “We have to protect Volodymyr.” Source: German media reports



🚨🇪🇺 THE EU JUST DETAINED ITS FORMER TOP DIPLOMAT FOR FRAUD - BRUSSELS IS IN FREE-FALL MODE Former EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini - the bloc’s ex–top diplomat - has now been formally accused of procurement fraud, corruption, conflict of interest, and violating professional secrecy. Not rumors. EPPO (European Public Prosecutor’s Office) confirmed it. She and 2 senior EU insiders were detained Tuesday in Belgium, then released pending investigation. One of them, reportedly, is Stefano Sannino, the EU’s highest-ranking civil servant in foreign affairs. Both are presumed innocent - but the optics are terrible. The case revolves around EU-funded training programmes for junior diplomats, tied to the College of Europe in Bruges - the elite school Mogherini has led since 2020. Raids hit EU diplomatic service HQ in Brussels, the College of Europe and the private homes of suspects. For Brussels, this lands like a controlled demolition: 2 Italian power brokers, both deeply wired into EU foreign policy, detained on the same day in the same case. What's next (and why it matters): EPPO doesn’t go public unless it’s confident in the paper trail. That alone is seismic. The charges involve procurement - the kind of contracts that always leave metadata, invoices, and emails. If those documents line up, the fallout could run deeper than one rector and one diplomat. More importantly: this is the first time in years that EU foreign policy’s top tier has faced a coordinated corruption probe of this scale. The timing - pre-2025 parliamentary cycle, rising scrutiny on EU institutions - guarantees political aftershocks. Brussels insiders are already calling it the bloc’s biggest integrity crisis since the 1999 Commission resignation. If EPPO keeps digging, this won’t stop at 3 names... and if the paper trail goes where investigators think it goes, Brussels is about to get a transparency lesson it didn’t ask for.

When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents. In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much. Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death. If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.


@NICKIMINAJ From a Muslim Barb, sending prayers and love to everyone facing persecution. Faith should unite, not divide us. 🤍


REP. ILHAN OMAR: Somalia is superior to the United States. Somali migration to America is a stain on our culture and she should be deported, ASAP.

Grokipedia.com version 0.1 is now live. Version 1.0 will be 10X better, but even at 0.1 it’s better than Wikipedia imo.


Congratulations to HuffPost for eliciting the most legendary response from the White House. HuffPost asked who picked the location for Trump's upcoming meeting with Putin. @PressSec responded: "Your mom did." @StevenCheung47 responded: "Your mom." Hilarious responses.
