No comment from Ursula von der Leyen's Commission on Trump's new national security strategy that represents a direct attack on European liberal democracy.

The EU's top court issued a ruling on same-sex marriage. It does NOT force every EU country to perform same-sex marriages.
But it *does* require them to recognise same-sex marriages from other countries, in the same way they recognise mixed-sex marriages from other countries.
Major step forward.

See, this is the kind of brain-dead nonsense that makes me regret VDL becoming Commission President
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said today that the fight against climate change was not against the fuels that cause it — only the pollution they emit.
Von der Leyen says EU is not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions
The comment could undermine European countries’ push at COP30 to move away from coal, oil and gas.
