I wrote this before the Oval Office performance, but really, there is nothing to add. It's all still true.

🇵🇱🇪🇺 "The paradox is that 500 million Europeans are asking 300 million Americans for help to protect them from 140 million Russians," — Tusk ❗️"We must rely on ourselves, fully aware of our own potential and believing that we are a world power," he said.

Did we also vote with Russia against Ukraine and all the EU countries in the UN on the resolution about the war because Zelensky was disrespectful to Trump? Oh wait, that was a week before their meeting. Maybe this has nothing to do with the meeting and it’s something else.

As we welcome the news that the UK will support Ukraine with a £2.26bn loan… Here’s your reminder that the Conservatives wasted £9.9bn on unusable or defective PPE Never forget their staggering corruption and incompetence.

The fatality rate for bird flu in cats is staggeringly high (up to 90% depending on the study). Outdoor cats are at highest risk. Keep your cats inside. Don’t feed them raw food. Keep them away from birds (especially water birds). Wash your hands thoroughly if you’ve been in contact with livestock

Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence and one of his Deputy Chiefs of Staff. For the hundredth time these people are not our allies and pretending otherwise is a hiding for nothing

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Trump’s failure today to conform with a senior High Court judge’s ruling against him demonstrates the contempt in which he really holds the UK and our institutions. As a result his legal team here has been debarred from the case, one he chose to bring in our courts. What an embarrassment to the US.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

What a fucked-up framing from the #BrokenPost. Trump is surrendering Ukraine and the West to Putin but here the burden is on Zelensky to "salvage his relationship." Can Zelensky salvage his relationship with Trump and save Ukraine? wapo.st/4it7ZS3

I want to tell you a story. In 2015, I was in the small Lithuanian city of Panevežys, standing with the locals, watching a military parade. But this was no ordinary parade, because marching alongside the Lithuanian troops were our American allies.🧵1/17

So they haven't "banned the word man" at all then. It isn't even like this is new. It's been fairly standard for years to say things like "tradesperson". Gender neutral language isn't just perfectly normal already, it makes more sense for most things. The outrage machine is reaching at this point.

If we end up with a situation in which Ukraine has its mineral wealth extorted by a fascist American government, watch for the British state trying to normalise and enable this disgusting behaviour, as it seeks to get its snout into the reconstruction trough.

Hope everyone in the UK remembers what Elon Musk is doing to the US government the next time Domminic Cummings writes a 30,000 word blog post on his plan to replace all the "NPCs" in Whitehall with 19 year old Nazi superforecasters.

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

Elon Musk fancies himself some kind of maverick technologist superhero. But he’s no Tony Stark. He’s PHONY Stark. He’s the one the Avengers defeat at the end of the movie.

Europe is still in the denial stage of grieving. There is no choice between defending Ukraine and another European country in a post-USA/NATO world. The defense of Europe’s free states is a whole and needs to be understood as such. www.thetimes.com/world/europe...
