Det er en drøy tredel, mer i noen målinger, som IKKE regner seg som MAGA. Jeg synes det er interessant å følge med på dem. Men du har rett i at de aller fleste av disse vil stemme R uansett, slik at uavhengige, inkl. frafalne R er viktigere for valgutfallet.

Stop complaining about the economy, inflation, and negative job numbers! Clearly, the U.S. economy is doing great, since Trump has tripled his net worth since becoming president.

Trolig ikke AI, men god gammeldags menneskelig idioti. "But officials said the error was unlikely to have been the result of new technology. Instead, they said, it likely reflected a common — but sometimes devastating — human error in wartime."

Hungary is still blocking the EU’s €90 billion loan to Ukraine.

But European countries have contingency plans up their sleeves to secure the funding before Kyiv runs out of money.

Can America clear the Strait of Hormuz of Iran’s drones and mines? Escorting convoys of oil tanker with warships may give Iran juicy American targets

Tacoen over alle tacoer Trump er fristet til å erklære seier over Iran og dra hjem, men det er ikke så enkelt.

I dag handler det om TACO igjen, etter at Trump roet markedene i går med forsikringer om at Iran-krigen snart er over. Så enkelt er det ikke, skriver jeg her: snoen.substack.com/p/tacoen-ove...

Images published by Iranian state media show remnants of a US Tomahawk missile at a girls’ school in Minab.
It’s not possible to independently verify the provenance of the remnants from this imagery alone. But Bellingcat previously detailed how a Tomahawk missile hit a structure next to the school.

They said Farage had hoped he would
be able to catch Trump for a
conversation as the US president was
scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago that
evening. However, Trump had a
change in his itinerary and decided to
stay instead in Doral, about an hour`s
drive away

Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.
