🇪🇺 Great news for Europe.

Europe and Ukraine are developing a Patriot alternative.

A prototype is targeted for mid-2027.

All major European countries are pursuing alternatives to Palantir.

Ten countries have also joined France’s nuclear deterrence initiative

The EU aims to buy at least 55% of its weapons from European industry by 2030.

Europe must never again be blackmailed by the US over arms deliveries, as Ukraine has been.

Europe needs full strategic autonomy.

WTF: TRUMP FORGETS TO SALUTE TO THE RETIRING OF THE COLORS AND JD VANCE HAD TO REMIND HIM.

WATCH AT 0:16 WHEN HE MAKES THE SUGGESTION.

THE FACES OF THE VETERANS GLARING SAYS IT ALL.

WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT 😡😡😡

Scott Colom to MeidasTouch: Thank you for giving me the opportunity very early on, when nobody thought Mississippi would be on the radar, to tell my story, tell my message. So God bless you, my friend.

And since then, we went out there and we did the work. I've done over 60 town halls. I've been to the housing projects, I've been to the college campuses, I've been to the music festivals, and we just built a campaign from the grassroots level.

And the people of Mississippi got behind me, and they're ready for a new direction.

[Bill Clinton @BillClinton]

We may have had to count One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, but Blue Mississippi sure has a nice ring to it! Scott, you put your heart and soul into this race because you believe in the promise of your state’s people. And they believed in you right back. I’m honored to have stood alongside you. Congratulations!

Highly educated, young Mormons are the next Democratic group, apparently

Not a Habs fan, but how does any American hockey player watch this and not want to play in Montreal? Truly unbelievable! #Montreal #CanadiensMTL #CareyPrice #NHL

Mississippi hasn't elected a black senator in 151 years btw

[🇨🇦 @𝓜𝝄𝒏𝓽𝓮_𝓐ℓ𝓽𝝄 (everywhere) 🇬🇧 @Monte_Alto]

wow ... this was quite the moment and massive kudos to the Army Sentinel for maintaining decorum.

On Veterans Day (November 11, 2026), a U.S. Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery publicly reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

[Mississippi Today @MSTODAYnews]

BREAKING: Democrat Scott Colom has won a hard-fought U.S. Senate race in Mississippi, ousting one of the state’s sitting senators for the first time since the 1940s and becoming the state’s first Black senator since Reconstruction. https://t.co/HSEQsmPDry

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

This is truly abhorrent. Pete Hegseth doesn't know how to conduct himself, even at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.

His behavior is unbecoming of any visitor to the Tomb, let alone that which comes from a Secretary of Defense.

@fuelmeupcc @USSoccerColl Since Trump returned, the US Administration is not well thought of in most parts of the world.

[Rick Barnes @queerthoughts]

@AdrianLaFosse @USSoccerColl Ha!

[CNN @CNN]

A US Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers after some in the group laughed and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony. https://t.co/1mIM7uG0G8

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

Pete Hegseth told America's generals that women might not measure up for some combat jobs. A Marine drill instructor, a Navy helicopter pilot and an Army officer with three Bronze Stars just gave him their answer.

All three of them: https://t.co/HmORNw1uTk

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

A USF professor and nurse from Nigeria has been in ICE custody for 2 months. She no longer appears in the database but might be in Louisiana. She had a protection from removal order/no record. This is inhumane we must get these people out of detention.

[Jake Tapper 🦅 @jaketapper]

It is not appropriate to laugh outside the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a member of the Army’s Old Guard reminds Hegseth’s group. On Veterans Day.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Fun Fact: Jim Jordan has been in Congress since January 2007. Nearly 20 years collecting a taxpayer-funded salary, and not ONE bill he's sponsored has passed the House or become law. Almost two decades of yelling, investigating, and performing for cameras. Zero bills passed.

Laid a wreath again this year at the Cenotaph at the Remembrance Day service. In my jacket, the Regina Rifles' paybook that Grandpa carried as he landed on the beaches and throughout WWII.

Good conversations, care and food at Legion 001 to follow. This is its 100th this year.
