Quite incredible. Unofficial Chinese police stations have been detected in the Netherlands, Hungary and now also in the US. What is this? Has elementary counterespionage collapsed in the West? What other countries host Chinese police stations? All?

This seems like a big fucking deal that no one has picked up on:
The American Medical Association has amended their ethical guidance to say that post-Roe, doctors should put their patients' health & safety first, even if it means breaking the law

Bird went public last year at $2.1B via SPAC and is now worth $50M which is a -97% drop.
SPACs were a weird bull market phenomenon where companies whose books weren't solid enough to IPO could still dump themselves on retail investors in public markets. SPACs and crypto were🤯

E-scooter company Bird trading at $0.24 a share after telling investors on Monday that its financial statements of the past 2.5 years "should no longer be relied upon" and there is "substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern"

China also accepted the strong condemnation of Russia in the G-20 statement. Looks like there are limits to that partnership after all. https://t.co/VyQpVj8f2P

I’ve accused the Biden admin of fucking up the politics of student debt relief in the past.
This is very much not that.
Michael Stratford @mstratford
A day after asking SCOTUS to allow it to implement student debt relief program, Biden admin today began notifying borrowers their applications were approved.

Trump’s efforts to abuse the regulatory process to dictate CNN coverage are a badly underrated free speech issue relative to the stuff you mostly hear complaints about from left and right.

Jeff Zucker was nearly fired from CNN back in 2017 as part of a thinly veiled deal with AT&T for the Trump White House to approve of the Time Warner merger https://t.co/Vq3C2uSxQd https://t.co/79Qa0lPFHi

It’s been a shame that we haven’t had access to these early-Covid tweets in a while where Trump kept falling over himself to praise Xi Jinping because he was trying to close a soybean sale.

One of the many great things about our just signed giant Trade Deal with China is that it will bring both the USA & China closer together in so many other ways. Terrific working with President Xi, a man who truly loves his country. Much more to come!

This is not a political statement, but a statement of fact. Russians can’t fight. The Soviets could fight. The Russians can’t.
Ok, it kinda is a political statement.
