Ukraine hasn’t yet seen changes on the Starlink speed limits: “There are isolated instances where Starlink may operate slightly faster than the speed limit, but this is likely due to the SpaceX algorithm or specific usage conditions, rather than the speed limit being lifted.”

This was always the folly of Rutte's PURL program, in which Europeans act as a middleman buying US weapons and sending them to Ukraine (to make up for the US not sending them aid any more). Europeans paid for these weapons. The US isn't delivering them. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2

De Wever is joining the anti-ambition club

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever: Even a country like Germany said, "We do not have the money to keep funding all these new ambitions." And if Germany doesn’t have the money, I can assure you Belgium surely doesn’t have the money to fund all new priorities.

Wow. Zuckerberg has agreed to stay in California for 8 years and is reportedly preparing to pay the state's 5% billionaire tax. If confirmed, it cuts against the "billionaires will all flee" story, while other billionaires - including the Rhine Group co-chair - funds the opposition to the prop theguardian.com/news/ng-inte


The ultra-rich are spending one million dollars a day fighting California’s proposed billionaire tax

Trump: We were in the midst of negotiating and a lot of stupid people said why aren’t you putting Russian sanctions— Collins: But you said you didn’t give anything for his release Trump: If I didn’t do that, you wouldn’t have him coming back. Collins: So you did give something. Trump: You don’t know anything. You’re fake news CNN. Collins: You’re saying you lifted the sanctions in exchange for his release? Trump: You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re a low IQ person. You’re a dummy.

Police searched the offices of Marine Le Pen's far-right Patriots for Europe group at the European Parliament in Strasbourg yesterday over misuse of EU funds. The allegation is taxpayer money was funnelled to companies close to the group during the last term. PfE says that since they rebranded from the Identity & Democracy group in 2024, they are not legally liable for the actions of the group from 2019 to 2024. youtu.be/sArBNxpKN_A?is=bhh0

Trump: I got Greenland. I got it
 Denmark, They've only had it from 1592. That's not that old when because President Xi from China was here, I was showing him the White House. 1792, the White House, that's when it was built, and I was showing President Xi and I was so proud of it because I fixed it, you know, it, it was like a dump. They didn't take care of it

Germany's Chancellor Merz: Social progress can be lost again if it is not actively defended. This fear is currently increasing rather than decreasing, and it is once again being ideologically charged and exploited. I didn’t actually want to say the non-word here, but it is omnipresent at the moment, and this non-word is ‘remigration.’ Behind it lies an attack on the modern Germany that we have built together over the past 65 years.

I'm at the đŸ‡ȘđŸ‡șParliament plenary in Strasbourg. On the way here I stopped in Lyon and saw the still-smouldering ruins of the 174-year-old Bellecour Pavilion burned down by rioters Saturday. I've asked MEPs for their reaction. Here's what they told me: davekeating.substack.com/p/l
