An important piece on Russian hybrid operations in Germany and across Europe in Die Zeit Online ⬇️

It is crucial to see the forest for the trees - the overall picture, not just separate isolated ‘incidents’. 1/3

Democracy in Europe is precious and will be protected using the tools that have been developed incl the DSA. And we will do more.

I look forward to working closely with @HennaVirkkunen and colleagues on developing the new Democracy Shield in this mandate.

Med alt hvad der sker i verden, er der brug for, at vi tager bedre ansvar for vores egen sikkerhed. Det er ikke gratis, men i Venstre er vi klar til at åbne den svære debat om fælles gæld og europæisk statstøtte #dkpol #vlm24

Wrapping up an incredible first week in office, fast diving into EU enlargement. Feel an amazing energy with all persons involved.

Excited for the journey ahead!

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

We are committed to a robust enforcement of the Digital Services Act.

Today, we've ordered TikTok to freeze and preserve all data and evidence linked to the Romanian elections.

This follows recent declassified information pointing to foreign interference from Russia.

Brilliant intervention by @sikorskiradek at the #OSCE.

This is four minutes of Barack Obama being both completely fed up with the shenanigans and very effective.

Here's the power ranking of the new European Commission I did on stream yesterday !

It's imperfect, debatable and will change depending on how the Commission will actually work in practice, but I think it gives a decent feel of who has power or not based on current info.

John Major on brexit:

"Brexit has been the most divisive thing that has happened in our party... it's made our country weaker, poorer... it was going to be milk & honey straight away & it wasn't... we now have sovereignty to be poorer & less influential..."

Stort tillykke til @DanJoergensen med den flotte kommissærtitel. Energipolitik er afgørende for de udfordringer, EU står over for: Konkurrenceevne, sikkerhed, klima, innovation og grøn teknologi. Godt for 🇩🇰 – godt for 🇪🇺

[Karin Axelsson @KarinEAxelsson]

Kom ind bag facaden på alle de nye kommissærer! #dkpol #eupol https://t.co/2QqNBt89Xm

Beyond the whopping numbers and the crisp prose lies a harsh truth in the 400 page Draghi report: unless the EU, especially France, Germany and Italy respond, the old continent is on the road to serfdom, trapped between the US and China https://t.co/gyFSmxzVMB via @ft

The Draghi report has just dropped - and it is surprisingly good and low-bullshit.
My initial takeaways:

[Fareed Zakaria @FareedZakaria]

Is AI more significant than the printing press?

@harari_yuval says this technology is fundamentally different.

On today’s GPS, we talked about the state of the information age and Harari’s new book, “Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI”

Europeans can be in amazing shape & live to 100+ while:

• Eating carbs 24/7
• Rarely going to the gym
• Drinking alcohol every day

But when Americans do it?

They become obese & get sick.

It took some time...

But I think I found what EXACTLY is going on:

Why France could implode.
This is Germany - the feedback loop of incentives to work to create wealth where a portion pays for a welfare state (a good thing) doesn't work anymore and it's getting worse, with this specific example. But now, let's compare it with France.

Industrial policy is back!

Alastair Campbell "You were lied to about Brexit... everything has flatlined, trade, productivity, the Pound lost 10% of its value."

Brexit needs to end.
