New strategy from Trump and the Republicans ahead of the midterm elections – calling their opponents communists. They have already done this over 80 times since the end of July

“Friedrich Merz has warned Donald Trump’s administration against interfering in German elections after the US state department announced a scheme to fund Maga-aligned causes in Europe.“

Twitter was launched 20 years ago. Now it has changed after Elon Musk took over and changed it to X. Below is an image demonstrating some of the changes. People on Twitter has been spread on many different social media, e.g. Atmosphere (Bluesky/Eurosky/W) and Mastodon. Do you miss the Twitter days?

American interference in the French presidential election has begun. Elon Musk has (as expected) expressed his full support for Marine Le Pen.

Denmark is a highly digital country and the country in the EU where the most young people have basic digital skills (92.1% 16-24y).

The Baltic countries, Latvia and Lithuania, are now warning about intelligence showing that Russia has planned sabotage targeting infrastructure in several NATO countries. They are therefore increasing security around energy and transport infrastructure.

Trump is not treating Canada properly, and this has led them to increase cooperation with Europe in trade and defense, and now they are also participating in Eurovision. Canadians are very welcome and will always be Europe's friends.

Trump promised that the war against Iran would be over in 2 days, then a week, and then a month, and here we are half a year later. He is deeply untrustworthy, for better or worse, which is also a problem for the US. Who can take Trump seriously?

I fully understand the desire to protect children from social media with an age limit in the EU. Nevertheless, it is sad that free, anonymous movement on the internet must now be restricted by age verification, and I also think it is, first and foremost, the parents' responsibility

“Putin Was Xi’s Role Model. Now He’s the Junior Partner. Four years of war and economic isolation have reduced the Russian president to a supplicant in a relationship growing more imbalanced”

It looks like Andy Burnham will become the new leader of the Labour Party and the UK's new Prime Minister.

10 countries including Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine and the United Kingdom have today created the Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition that will strengthen European defense against Russia.

På sociale medier forlyder det nu, at årsagen til at Trump skiftede fly under NATO-topmødet i Tyrkiet, var fordi Iran havde planlagt et attentat mod ham og hans nye fly skænket af Qatari ikke var sikkert nok

Fin analyse af @OleRyborg, der fint beskriver hvad der er ved at ske. Trump truer igen og igen Vesten og det fører til at de resterende lande er ved at opbygge et stærkere samarbejde uden USA. Bemærk i øvrigt også at Ukraine er med. Skulle det ske at Trump ødelægger NATO tager en koalition af villige over og her er Ukraine med fra starten

Mens USA er optaget af at få genåbnet Hormuzstrædet er Iran måske allerede i gang med at arbejde på at udvikle atomvåben. Det viser nogle satellitfotos der viser trafik til atomare anlæg. Det var åbenbart ikke så let en militær operation som Trump gav udtryk for.

Hvad er jeres tommelfingerregel for hvor mange drikkepenge I giver når I er ude og spise på ferie i udlandet?

Den her artikel om #chatcontrol på DR (vist oprindeligt fra Ritzau) er misvisende. Trods der var et flertal imod forslaget var det ikke nok til at afvise forslaget, hvorfor det blev vedtaget. Den artikel er vist skrevet for hurtigt

There is currently a lot of (justified) criticism of the EU for introducing #chatcontrol. But what are they actually allowed to do, and what is the practice in the US? The US isn't exactly known for holding back on surveillance either.

Positive news for Ukraine. Trump promises to grant them a license to produce Patriot missiles. This will help Ukraine in the fight against Russia. Hopefully, Trump keeps his promise this time.

This is how it feels to look at Mark Rutte in interviews with Donald Trump

Trump (again) threatened to withdrawal troops from Europe if he doesn't get Greenland. This is a clear message to Europe to increase the independence of the U.S. in all ways
