NATO SG Rutte does not have to visit this US president that often. He can just write a letter stating that NATO always has been a defensive organisation. Alternatively he can ask some other heads of memberstates to convey that message to the US president.

And now let's not be distracted by a lengthy dream about the 25th but turn our attention back to the Epstein files.

However big you think you are here, in the end you're just a tiny part of something much bigger.

Putin must be thrilled to see the American taxpayers do his bidding in a European election supporting the pro-Putin candidate.

CBS News chief Bari Weiss tells staff 'we're toast' without change

CBS News chief Bari Weiss told her staff that “we're toast” if the network continues with its current business strategy and invoked legendary newsman Walter Cronkite as a symbol of old thinking. Three months into her job, Weiss delivered an address to CBS News employees on Tuesday. She's quickly become a polarizing figure in journalism and a headline-maker, notably holding back a “60 Minutes” piece critical of the Trump administration's deportation policy for migrants. Weiss said CBS News needs to adopt a streaming first mentality and open itself to a diversity of opinions. She named a group of 18 new contributors to CBS News.
