Everyone on the left is now offering Elon advice on how to spend his money (money which he literally can't spend) and quite a few people are just demonizing him as evil for being rich. I anticipated all of this yesterday but I might as well document some of it for posterity here.]]>Fri, 12 Jun 2026 21:20:41 -0400<![CDATA[John Sexton]]><![CDATA[California]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Elon Musk]]><![CDATA[Taxes]]>https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/06/12/everyone-on-the-left-has-ideas-for-how-elon-musk-should-spend-his-wealth-n3815907<![CDATA[The European External Action Service (EEAS) is another one of the innocuous European Union terms turned into acronyms that don't really tell you the first thing about what their function is.]]>Fri, 12 Jun 2026 20:40:37 -0400<![CDATA[Beege Welborn]]><![CDATA[European Union]]><![CDATA[Foreign Policy]]><![CDATA[France]]><![CDATA[Germany]]>https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2026/06/12/knives-are-out-for-eus-diplomatic-service-n3815906<![CDATA[This is quite a remarkable story.

In the hours since, Iran has not yet signaled an agreement, although the IRGC mouthpieces have notably also not announced a full rejection either. While Trump has made plans for sending J.D.
