“Our evidence to the Committee showed deep UK-EU alignment in goods and services, would more than offset the effect of Trump’s tariffs on the UK, and would reduce their harm on the EU by a third. Keir Starmer and Ursula Von Der Leyen must take this opportunity to restore stability in the midst of an increasingly volatile economic environment.”
"Independent research shows deeper regulatory alignment as part of a common sense deal with the EU would boost the UK economy by as much as 2.2%, meaning more money for public services and more jobs across the country. The report also recommends a EU-UK Youth Mobility Scheme, a new EU-UK security pact, greater energy co-operation, a data adequacy agreement, and the UK rejoining the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean Convention on rules of origin."

Dear @EUCommission
Please listen to us, the whole collective cybersecurity space, the ones actively protecting our personal, professional and government data everyday when we tell you:
There is no way you can make data available to law enforcement that doesn't - massively - make it much easier for adversaries to access it too.
Anyone who tells you different don't know what they're talking about.
That's all.
"Much of #Tesla's sales collapse has occurred in Europe, where customers are displaying even greater revulsion for CEO Elon #Musk's political activity than here in the US. But protests at US Tesla stores are becoming a weekly event, as a majority of Americans disapprove of his interference with the federal government."

#ElonMusk is now calling for #TeslaTakedown organizers to be arrested.
The #EU will soon issue recommendations about a survival kit allowing people to be autonomous for 72h. I figured I should buy a power station and small portable solar panels before prices spike. So I did.
And then I thought, since I am out of social media non-fediversed, what if the 2 instances I use run out of power? Which contingency plan would you recommend to stay connected to the rest of the world?
"The #Trump administration is widening its campaign against #DEI to foreign companies, after launching a crackdown against US media groups such as Disney."
"The letter, sent by the American embassy in Paris, stated that Trump’s executive order applied to companies outside the US if they were a supplier or service provider to the American government."

lol apparently the reason JD Vance's trip to #Nuuk was canceled was that they could not find a single person in #Nuuk who wanted to receive an in home visit from the vice president's family.
According to Danish TV they literally knocked on every door in the entire city (not that hard, there's only ~5,000 houses) trying to find someone who wanted an in home visit from Usha Vance... and 100% of the Greenlanders said no.
"The end of the Russian unprovoked and unjustified aggression in Ukraine and unconditional withdrawal of all Russian military forces from the entire territory of Ukraine would be one of the main preconditions to amend or lift sanctions."

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Pete Hegseth, A Man Of Questionable Judgment
#PeteHegseth's in the news lately because of a "mishap" with a Signal group chat involving possibly top secret information about killing #Houthis. You might think this demonstrates poor judgment.
This is all less surprising if you know that Hegseth is a crypto bro who lost a bunch of money in possibly the most obvious cryptocurrency ponzi scheme in history, #CelsiusNetwork. Hegseth entrusted the group of Russian Israelis running #Celsius with his hard earned money *even after* the CFO of the firm was sent to prison in #Israel for #moneylaundering and organized crime connections.
tl;dr Maybe America should reconsider putting crypto bros in charge of the military.
Retoots appreciated.

Has everyone in the US realised that because of Republican voters, their country has just lost all the international stature and credibility it has amassed since their ancestors entered World War I? It doesn't matter who wins the next presidential election. The one after that may still deliver another insane Republican populist who is fun to watch on TV. We simply can't trust that country's citizens any more.
#HowardLutnick is claiming he has sold 1,000 permanent US residence permits for $5 million each (Trump's "Gold Cards") to the world's wealthiest kleptocrats, oligarchs, and crypto bros (though he doesn't describe them that way).
note that these people will be able to live in the US but (unlike US citizens) will not have to pay taxes on their foreign income.
you should expect america's billionaires to start "emigrating" to other countries and "coming back" as Gold Card holders for tax reasons.
