Earlier White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Spain has agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military after President Donald Trump threatened to cut trade with Madrid over its stance against the US-Israeli strikes on Iran

Which then quickly prompted the Spanish government to categorically deny any such agreement of cooperation with the US military.


Article translated w/ DeepL

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, has “categorically” denied that Spain will “cooperate militarily” with the US, as previously stated by White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt. At a press conference, the US official said that “Spain has agreed to cooperate militarily in the last few hours.” In an appearance this morning, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez summed up Spain's position on the conflict “in four words: No to war.” For its part, the European Commission has warned that it is prepared to act and safeguard the interests of the Union in response to US President Donald Trump's threat of a trade embargo against Spain. On the ground, Turkey has reported that NATO systems installed on its soil have shot down a missile over its territory, which fell without causing damage after flying over Iraq and Syria. NATO has condemned the launch by Iran. In addition, Israel continues, together with the US, its bombing of Iran, where it has attacked targets in Tehran and other cities. The death toll from the offensive by both countries has exceeded 1,000, while the Ayatollah regime has continued to launch missiles against US targets in countries surrounding the Persian Gulf, such as Kuwait, the Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

On an evening in late January, Emily was driving through her Minneapolis neighborhood doing something that had become part of her routine in recent weeks: patrolling for ICE.

Emily, who NPR is only identifying by her first name because she fears retribution from the federal government, says she followed an ICE vehicle at a safe distance into a parking lot. "And then someone leaned out of the passenger side of that SUV and took a picture of me and my car," she says.

Emily says she decided to leave at that point, but the SUV made a sudden U-turn and barreled towards her, braking next to her driver's side window. A female agent wearing a gaiter-style mask rolled down the window, leaned out — and addressed Emily by name.

Simplified non veiled title.

I'm going to keep voting all democrat basically no matter what, because there is no other option. But are those of us with money actually shooting ourselves in the foot?

By this I mean, we are basically voting for the government to tax us even more (at least this is what people in america believe). If you look at states like Minnesota, they have way higher taxes than red states. Blue states have more car inspection and taxes as well (which I personally hate and it just makes life harder). It also costs wayyy more to live in blue states, a big reason people in red states keep voting red to keep costs down. We don't want $4000 per month rent here.

I guess it seems dumb to be voting for myself to get taxed more is all I'm saying. Obviously, thats not a big deal compared to voting for all out authoritarian fascism, but its hard to convince people to vote for higher taxes and more regulation thats going to make my life harder.

And yes I know there is more to it than that, but the average person I know votes on 1. Do they support abortion and 2. Will I get taxed more. I know those of you in any civilized areas will find it hard to believe, but this is what fox news does to peoples brains.
