A reflection on Óglaigh na hÉireann’s European Union Battle Group Deployments to Germany and Hungary

"Our answer to America First must be Europe united" said German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.

Led by university students, tens of thousands of people are demonstrating in the Serbian capital to protest against the government and demand early elections.

9 🇪🇺 cities are in the running to host the EU's new customs authority.

Large crowds gathered at Heroes' Square in Budapest, Hungary, to welcome the Serbian student cyclists protestors, celebrating their bold journey and defiance of Vučić’s authoritarian regime.

At an Orbán election rally, the crowd chanted ‘Ruszkik haza’ (‘Russians, go home’), a slogan coined during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and directed against Soviet troops

MEP defended Stop Killing Games with a speech full of video game references This clip features MEP Catarina Vieira speaking during the European Parliament public hearing on the European Citizens’ Initiative “Stop Destroying Videogames”, linked to the wider Stop Killing Games campaign.

In a rare appearance on Hungary's state television, Peter Magyar slammed the Orbán-aligned network as a "lie factory" and North Korean-style propaganda. He vowed that once his Tisza party takes power, they will completely shut down the current apparatus and replace it with truly independent media.

Italian lawmakers protested in Lombardy’s regional council after reports suggested that United States ICE agents could be involved in security for the upcoming Milan–Cortina Winter Olympics.

Miles Taylor: “This is set to be the BIGGEST HEIST....definitively in American history....This is the same Donald Trump who right here, in the state of NY, they shut down his charity because he was spending the money on his lawyers, and on portraits for himself. Are we supposed to believe that guy?”

Rep. Norman: January 6th was an issue that was made up in the first place. Reporter: Made up? Norman: That was a staged thing from day one. Reporter: The riot was staged? Your Republican colleagues barricaded themselves in their chamber. You think they were acting? #cdnpoli

Lmaooooo

Leading with honesty and facts is how you deliver a safe and secure election season to Arizona’s voters. As long as I am Secretary of State, voters can remain confident that my office will never get sidetracked by political games or conspiracy theories.

😡😤 The moment a Russian "Shahed" drone struck a high-rise residential building in Dnipro, Ukraine. Russia is a terrorist state!

Criticism isn’t hate and sports come with opinions…I meant what I said! WATCH NOW: Original post

The plan to gerrymander Republicans into permanent House control is cracking. SC dropped their plan entirely. Louisiana refused the map Trump wanted. Mississippi punted to 2027. Turns out Republican state legislators can read polling, and they don't want to lose their chambers for a decade.

Queensland 2026 & once again we have a recalcitrant minister for everything. This is how Qld journalists dealt with it in the 80s. You get in his face, you don't take a backward step, he'll tell you to GGF but you don't back down, you keep going until you get the story. #qldpol

This one? Yes. Super catchy. Maybe we should be taking a page out of their book and using AI warfare to make our own meaningful resistance videos against the regime. They have some seriously intense depth & detail to their trolling videos.

A rather stark welcome home. I didn’t see the moment this lad took down the drone, but as I stepped out of the station to get my taxi, the alert hit, sirens, people moving quickly, that familiar urgency as the driver politely said “rocket” Russia wastes no time reminding you where you are.

Carlos is such a sweetheart #Wimbledon

Let's be completely honest here, I would hope that even MAGA folks would find this shit to be CRAZY. I know that's probably too much to ask. This is not normal for a U.S. President to do...

🌴Good Morning Passed Aways🌴 The month is drawing to a close and the "Big Feelings™️" I was having yesterday has subsided. It's lingering, but has dulled a bit. I'm aiming to try and make the most out of my day especially since 💰🫰Payday = Gym 💪💀
