The violent detention of Sen. Alex Padilla was terrible. But what DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said right before it might be even more frightening—and it's just one of several authoritarian messages coming from Trump and his comrades.

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."

One of the most chillingly evil things I've ever read. Just a split second decision to be completely evil, wholly indifferent to the innocent life you know you're devastating—along with the lives of those connected to him. The banality of evil, indeed.

Like an old political fable, it was not many lies of the political ruler that did the damage, but the one thing the ruler had always told the truth about. Trump has long said he would put up tariffs, but many of his foolish supporters happily assumed it was another lie. But it was truth.

It's amazing how few people in the UK realise that the last time the world went in to a massive financial tailspin, albeit one not directly caused by the President of the USA, it was Gordon Brown & the late Alistair Darling who provided the sort of international leadership desperately needed now.

Setting tariffs is not some presidential power set out in US constitution. Congress has delegated this power to Trump, and Congress can take it back. This ultimately is about Congressional weakness as about Presidential madness. This problem has a constitutional solution, if Congress wants it.

Almost 90% of flights from Luton are taken for leisure, with more British tourists taking their money out of the country to spend abroad than tourists coming in. Expanding Luton is not good for UK growth & certainly not good for nature & the environment. Why doesn’t Labour Govt understand that?

The poorest will suffer the most from Trump's tariffs. In the US, where goods will cost more, and in the rest of the world where countries will find it harder to grow through trade. A US recession alongside those in other countries won't make them feel better.
