  @serge @josh0 Yep! A good summary from Google: https://share.gemini.google/WvGHf2OCtipI Arresting a head of state would violate federal, local & be a breach of international laws. Mamdani would also face jail time & the political fallout would be massive.

  To think it was #Republicans who passed this bill instead of the #Democrats (who mostly opposed it) is surprising. Yes, the bill is not perfect (only restricts Congressional members), but it is a start. 👉🏾 Stop Insider Trading Act https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2026280 Now it needs to pass the Senate.

  I am not sure if #America 🇺🇸 will use this as an excuse to place tariffs on #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺 , but I do know that #Google will probably delay launching products & updates throughout the #EU 🇪🇺. 👉🏾 #Europe fines Google $1 billion for ‘harming’ rivals in a first under sweeping online law 🔛 @CNN 📰 https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/23/business/europe-fines-google-1-billion-intl I also expect the @EUCommission to go after #Meta next, which probably means another trade war is on the horizon.

  The proposals from this lady are crazy, & should be ignored.

  I wonder what #Japan 🇯🇵 can do to increase their population in the short term‽ They are obviously not choosing immigration as a quick solution. 👉🏾 Japanese population drops below 120 million 📰 https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/07/29/japan/japan-population-fall/ 🔛 @thejapantimes I heard about some companies in #SouthKorea 🇰🇷 rewarding employees with significant cash gifts for having kids, but I am not sure how economically feasible that would be nationwide (in either country).

  I know many #Democrats loathe #BillMaher, but he is mostly right. 👉🏾 New Rule: Commie By Your Name | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) https://youtu.be/dRIjYHVh5kI The party needs to come out vehemently against the Democratic Socialists of #America 🇺🇸 (#DSA).

  If Mamdani did this, I would advocate having him thrown in federal prison. Fortunately he lacks the legal authority, but if he forced the issue he would be jailed.
