Nothing is quite as European as demanding that your emergency WW3 meeting must only occur during normal office hours.
Following the ongoing situation in Iran, I am convening a special Security College on Monday. For regional security and stability, it is of the utmost importance that there is no further escalation through Iran’s unjustified attacks on partners in the region.

NOT A SINGLE HOUSE IN THE PALISADES HAS BEEN REBUILT.
The anniversary is Wednesday — not tomorrow — Katie. Oof. With $22.4 billion in insurance payouts and 2,617 permits approved by locals, multiple homes have been rebuilt. LA’s recovery is one of the fastest in modern history — and there is MUCH more we need to do!

.@RoKhanna since you believe in the wealth tax, would you start us off with a voluntary accounting of your entire net worthy and assets, then give five percent to the state of California? Please lead by example 🫡

Suing a founder for going public! EU VC cracks me up.
Andreas Klinger: "If one of my portfolio companies IPO'd in Europe there's a non-zero chance I would sue them" 😂 The local stock markets are too small. Europe can't complain about not having tech giants worth $100bn when we have nowhere to list them. Earlier in the year the German Chancellor said he was looking to build one unified stock exchange. If we implement @euinc_petition and then fix capital markets Europe will be so much stronger Good stuff from @andreasklinger

Newsom took $26 billion and reduced homelessness from 35,000 to 175,000. His plan to end homelessness in 10 years celebrated its 20th anniversary this year. His homeless council can’t account for where $20 billion went. California now has the highest gas taxes and state income taxes. The poverty rate increased under his watch. He exemplifies the perfect Democrat, always failing upwards. The bigger the failure, the bigger the reward.

You don’t have to be a Tory to be disgusted by this devastating mash-up of Labour Party leaders lying through their back teeth about tax so they could win power.
To help them get elected, Labour told a lie. This is the story of one of the biggest deceptions in British politics.
