Jay Bhattacharya and Matthew Memoli aren't bringing "gold standard science" to the #NIH, they are gutting research slowly but surely. When this time is over, they should be hauled before Congress, and shunned for the rest of their lives. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Russland wird seine neo-imperialistischen Ambitionen erst aufgeben, wenn es gestoppt wird.

Fox News Host Pete Hegseth Privately Lobbied Trump to Pardon Accused War Criminals
The president isn’t just watching the network, he’s taking policy advice from its morning hosts.

Russian propaganda in full force for the Witkoff visit: Putin is claiming to have captured Ukrainian cities that he doesn't control, and having himself photographed in military uniform

Putin claims Russian capture of Pokrovsk, Vovchansk as Kyiv warns of Kremlin propaganda blitz amid peace talks
"All of this is done exclusively for Western audiences and to raise the stakes in diplomacy," said Andrii Kovalenko, head of Ukraine's Center for Countering Disinformation.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

That Hegseth is an eager proponent of war crimes and those who commit them is not news, but damnit its still wild that we will do things like confirm a Sec of Defense that writes about encouraging his men to violate the laws of war and JAG legal instructions
robertscotthorton.bsky.social Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 1d
Hegseth told soldiers under his command in Iraq to ignore legal advice about when they were permitted to kill enemy combatants under their rules of engagement. The anecdote is contained in a book Hegseth wrote last year in which he sharply disparaged the Geneva and Hague Conventions.

Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

Markwayne Mullin defends Hegseth: "If there was a second strike, it wouldn't be to just simply take out the survivors. It's because there was still a threat or opportunity for them to run."

#Klimakrise führt zu mehr Starkregen, Muren, Hitze, treibt damit die Sanierungskosten für Straßen in die Höhe. Bei Landesstraßen von 22,8 Mio Euro pro Jahr zwischen 2015 und 2019 auf 40,6 Mio Euro/Jahr zw 2020 und 2024 (plus 78%). Was es braucht: Mehr Tempo beim #Klimaschutz, Bremse bei Straßenbau.
Grafik des VCÖ mit Titel "Klimakrise treibt die Sanierungskosten in die Höhe" zeigt jährliche Sanierungskosten im Zeitraum 2015 bis 2019 bei Autobahnen und Schnellstraßen (1,8 Mio Euro) und Freilandstraßen (22,8 Mio Euro) und im Zeitraum 2020 bis 2024 bei Autobahnen und Schnellstraßen (2,8 Mio Euro - + 58%) und Freilandstraßen (40,6 Mio Euro + 78 %)

In nur 5 Jahren hat China den Automobilmarkt übernommen und ist uns parallel beim E-Auto davon gerast.

Dass Kanzler Merz allen ernstes davon spricht, dass wir 2035 noch "hocheffiziente Verbrenner" verkaufen, macht es noch verrückter.

Es ist so wichtig, dass das berichtet wird!

„Europe Is Bending the Knee to the US on Tech Policy“ - schreibt @wired.com

Denn bei den wichtigsten Tech-Regeln ist die EU-Kommission derzeit auffällig zurückhaltend oder rudert sogar zurück

Siehe:
ALMOST EVERYTHING IS on hiatus. The EU AI Act, Digital Services Act, and Digital Markets Act are all at risk. The European Commission is preparing to end the year with virtually no movement on its most important tech policy initiatives. Many measures may even be reversed. In particular, a series of changes threatens to weaken the entire framework of the EU AI Act by eroding its substance. There could also be major reconsiderations of the Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act. Not to mention the Digital Networks Act and the EU Space Act, before they even see the light of day, are already the subject of legal disputes. Since the tariff agreement between the United States and Europe was signed last August, big tech companies, backed by the Trump administration, have increased pressure to soften restrictions on all fronts.

Looks like Trump is about to throw Hegseth under the garbage truck.
A tweet from Acyn shows a transcript of a reporter questioning Donald Trump about strikes and controversy involving Pete Hegseth. Trump repeatedly says he doesn’t know anything about it and that Hegseth denied it. Below the text is a photo of Trump speaking to reporters in a hallway, holding a microphone close to his face with a presidential seal backdrop visible behind him.
