Wow. Today the ECJ found Hungary violated EU law with its anti-gay statute, but the most revolutionary part of the decision is that the Court found that Art. 2 TEU, laying out European values, could be used as an independent legal ground in cases before the Court. curia.europa.eu/site/upload/...
#ICYMI: We released a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who declined to identify former clients.
Just 26% of Americans say they approve of how the president is handling prices/inflation, 35% on jobs and the economy. His net rating is way underwater on both

That's what it looks like tonight!
that's my senator staying on message!
Seeming silence from Congresspeople on this issue after some initial promise is disappointing and encourages compliance with illegal orders/discourages non-compliance as th case(s) may be.
Servicemembers need to know there will be consequences for warcrimes & that dissent will be protected/rewarded

I was wondering earlier today if they've threatened to do that. He posted a couple of times but missed the early morning "Strait is open" market-fluffing.
Certainly would be an improvement if they'd just take it away.
Plus who knows who's listening in via a hack.
I've just realised something sinister: all of the AI assistants that are answering the phone have been given the voices of young women. Let's have a think about the social and cultural messaging here.
I would like to see some reporting on how and under what circumstances a member of the military can and should refuse an illegal order. Is anyone prepared to advise them, or support them?

PSA: I imagine many of my followers know the story of the pallets of cash, but for those who don’t:
Before the Iranian revolution, Iran was run by the Shah, who had TONS of money and a virtually unlimited appetite for US military hardware, including big things like aircraft etc.
if Ds control congress, they could pass a bill to send people checks, funded by taxing billionaires. let trump veto it if he wants.
include a provision in the bill that trump's name can't be on the checks.

This is why the nuclear file was delinked from the other issues in the JCPOA talks. Too much to do all at once.
So yes, let's get Hormuz open first.
