🇺🇸📞🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦 — Fox News journalist asks JD Vance:

Are you okay with Europe getting Tomahawks despite escalation risk?

JD Vance:

I’ve always said Europe must step up. Under Trump, they’re buying US arms instead of us just giving.

On Tomahawks, the president will decide based on US interests — that’s his guiding rule

🇵🇱🇪🇺🇷🇺Europe is already in a state of war, Polish Prime Minister Tusk said.

According to The Guardian, Tusk called what is happening a "new type" of war.

"The biggest and most important task for our opinion leaders today is to make other people, the entire Western transatlantic community, realize: this is war. We did not want this, sometimes it is strange, a new type of war, but it is still war," Tusk said.

He made the statements after Russian and unidentified targets began regularly entering Europe.

🇪🇺🚫🗣 EU's DSA promised digital rule of law. In Romania, it empowered an opaque web of government agencies, NGOs, and foreign actors to censor critical voices—without checks, transparency, or recourse.

Censorship chapters of the DSA in action, not the ones protecting users rights

• DSA transposition into local law used to expand local censorship powers

• Romanian National Audiovisual Council meddling in Moldova’s elections

• Rapid Response System (RRS) quietly activated during election times

• RRS flaggers never announced (Romania, Czech Republic)

• RRS secrecy dictated by the European Commission

• Expert Forum: flagger with ties to executive powers

• Fact-checks that are themselves misinformation

• Freedom House influence combined with fact-checker status

• Missing Statements of Reasons in the DSA database

• Wiesel Institute stretching Holocaust mandate into politics

• No Romanian Out-Of-Court Settlement Body — no clear path to redress

• French company moderating TikTok content in Romanian

• Censorship targeting conservatives, Gaza coverage, and even satire

• Platforms ignoring formal requests for transparency

• Only one example of best practices on transparency

• ANCOM (Romania’s DSC) stalling and shirking enforcement

• Platforms (Facebook, TikTok, X) should make full discloser of moderation requests
