Can confirm the reports of an arson attempt at Kenton United Synagogue. Overnight, HAYI social channels began claiming an attack on a London synagogue without specifying location.

Det her er (ikke overraskende) reinspikka løgn, som ukritisk viderebringes av NTB, NRK og andre. Fifa tjener mest penger på medieavtaler med TV2, NRK og alle andre som sender Fifas mesterskap.

UPDATE: Orbán (2026) and Donny (2020) are Putin assets, so it makes sense both "offices" (kleptocrats do no actual work) are crime scenes after their ousters

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

I 2024 møtte Asle Toje maktapparatet i Etiopia. Men han sa ikke hvem han var på jobb for. I 2024 ba Asle Toje en norsk diplomat om hjelp til å møte toppfolk i Etiopias maktapparat. Nå reagerer diplomaten på at Toje ikke sa hvem han jobbet for.

Heksejakt igjen… alle som kjenner Asle Toje vet at han alltid har hatt et sterkt engasjement i etiopisk pottaskeproduksjon.

Zelensky just out with a long comment after the latest Ramstein meeting. Optimistic and gives thanks to many partners. Not a single mention of the US helping Ukraine.

The Ukrainians are not hiding the fact that the US is no longer their friend.

A clear warning to Vance.

DOGE turbocharged the deficit.

"Magyar wasn't engaging in a policy debate... His framing was Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are a criminal organization and we need to dismantle this... he connected the impact of the criminal organization to these rural Hungarians' experience."

@ambpressman.bsky.social on how Magyar beat Orbán.

In the 1930s, Oswald Mosley claimed to be a patriot, while his British Union of Fascists was secretly funded by the Italian government. We are just beginning to grasp how much of the far right in the UK today has been funded by Viktor Orbán and Russian oil money.
Their "patriotism" is always a con.

Europe v the US? There is much talk of a possible collapse of Nato but other big stuff in a gathering transatlantic civil war is invisible – or little noticed. France took a strategic step last week towards reducing its dependence on American tech giants. 1/

Is Trump resurrecting Epstein?

Hungary’s election has ended Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule.

Days before the vote, we uncovered exposed passwords linked to Hungarian government systems.

Orban has conceded. Majority too big for him to try any nonsense. Tisza is going to have plenty of challenges in sorting out Orban's mess but this is a good day.

Kunsten å undergrave et demokrati

- Ungarn er ikke lenger et fullverdig demokrati. Politikken har vært en katastrofe for Europa og en tragedie for det ungarske folk, skriver Eirik Løkke:

Donald Trump's Plan To Steal Or Destroy Everything We should assume it's underway, starting with the Epstein files.

Legal eagles noticed, and there’s been SOME mainstream coverage. But overall the political class has underreacted to this month’s OLC opinion, ordered up by Trump or on his behalf, declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional. Things are likely being stolen and/or destroyed *right now*.

Her har John Færseth begått en relevant artikkel, ved å reise til Transkarpatia-regionen i Ukraina, nær grensen til Ungarn – der han skriver om hvordan den ungarske minoriteten i Vest-Ukraina kan påvirke valget i Ungarn, og dermed indirekte også europeisk politikk.

The Offer Viktor Orbán Couldn't Refuse. (Or Didn't.) Who knew that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was on the take from the same Russian mobsters who were laundering millions through Donald Trump's real estate?

Who knew that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was on the take from the same Russian mobsters who were laundering millions through Donald Trump's real estate? The list starts with Semën Mogilevich, Moscow mafia capo di tutti capi, and also a notorious sugar daddy and RIS conduit for Trump
