There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

“Washington has become the court of Nero,” Senator Claude Malhuret declared before the French Parliament this week. His speech, whose dark urgency and stark rhetorical force made it a social-media sensation, has been translated and adapted by The Atlantic:

You perhaps have read. But I am preparing key news for tomorrow’s letter and want to share this pain. 11 people were killed in Dobropillia (Donetsk Oblast) and 47 were wounded. 3 people were killed in Bohodukhiv (Kharkiv Oblast) and 7 were wounded. 💔 This is the outcome of appeasing barbarians.

"The United States government took some dramatic steps this week to help Russia and weaken Ukraine—the intended result of which will be more Ukrainian deaths, fewer Russian losses, and the undermining of Ukrainian democracy" from @phillipspobrien.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Trump and his policies are responsible for 14 Ukrainian deaths. Trump and Putin need to be charged with war crimes. Trump is a monster!

“Frightened for the safety of their families.” America, 2025.

That is exactly true.

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days. That is beyond unacceptable.

NEW: I helped Brian Krebs trace the background of one of Elon Musk's top loyalists, Branden Spikes, head of IT at X, who spent 2 mo at DOGE. Spikes and his ex-wife were involved with Russian diaspora websites and groups linked to pro-Kremlin KSORS players, Russian state media while he was at SpaceX.

As Trump now actively helps Russia kill Ukrainian soldiers and civilians, the silence of Republicans who used to say they were staunch supporters of Ukraine is deafening.

Ironically, Trump's attempt to humiliate Zelensky may have woken a sleeping giant in Europe. The unity and love that they are showing are undeniable. 🇺🇦

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

Period.

Trump is a Russian asset. Putin’s stooge. Trump is a traitor! Shameful scum!

Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir Minister for Foreign Affairs of Iceland 👏

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Simon Harris Deputy Prime Minister of Ireland 👏

Trump and Vance showed a level of crassness and vulgarity never seen before in the White House with a foreign leader and guest. They were the worst kind of ignorant disgusting bully. They’ve turned our nation into a global embarrassment. And a global threat.

Even the people working at DOGE say it is a lawless nightmare for America. In fact, they know it better than anyone. Thanks to these true public servants who won’t stand for such a dangerous betrayal of the American people.

Continues... "The challenge was certainly ‘Foul Play’ but it obviously could not, to the mind of the Commission, be categorised as ‘Serious Foul Play’. "MLS had obviously not endangered the safety of his opponent or used excessive force or brutality, nor had he ‘lunged’ in at his opponent."

The FA have published the written reasons as to why Myles Lewis-Skelly's red card was overturned. "The Commission members were unanimous in their opinion that the referee had made an obvious error in sending off MLS for the challenge that he had made."

It feels a lot of fans still aren’t appreciating game volume and our injuries. Yesterday was our eighth game in 25 days; it was Wolves fourth. And, #Arsenal have six key players out injured, with three players only just returning. It’s about digging deep, not entertaining. #AFC

Shoutout Riccardo Calafiori clearly wanting to take off his shirt when he scored yesterday but quickly realising he'd get booked and Arteta might have to kill him for it.

Michael Oliver with a ridiculous straight red! Softest red card I have seen for years!

Kai Havertz has more goals this season than Luis Dias, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Diogo Jota. He also has more goals than Mbuemo, Cunha, Semenyo, and Nico Williams.

Just saying.

Donald Trump’s filling his cabinet with billionaires and industry insiders. If he wants to show that they’re not just working to line their own pockets, he should start with a strong ethics pledge.

Cold light of day, the number of injuries and the amount of energy Arsenal are putting into every game, every three days. I just can’t be hugely angry with players or coach. I think they’re short and they’re giving absolutely everything. The guys upstairs need to help them now. I need their energy.

Such powerful words. Biden quotes Eisenhower’s ‘military industrial complex’ & then christens what’s happening as the ‘tech industrial complex’. ‘The free press is crumbling…truth is being smothered by lies’

Myles Lewis-Skelly is roaring at the home crowd, pumping his fists and kissing the Arsenal badge. The youngest player to start a north London derby in the league since Cesc Fabregas in 2005. Best player on the pitch. #AFC

Get in there you reds!!!

I drew North London

Zubimendi is understood to have a €60million (£51m) release clause which Arsenal will formally trigger. www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba...

Jack Smith’s report is damning. Gift article and link to the report. https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/special-counsel-says-trump-would-have-been-convicted-for-efforts-to-overturn-2020-election-f2ecf0fa?st=F6wHHY&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think we should reward criminals and allow them to get away with their crimes just because they’re ultimately successful. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ? Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world. Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

Looking back at it, maybe we should have let him score a hat trick earlier.

Jesus has 5 goals in the last 51 minutes.

The Free Press is dead. Long live the free press. Donald Trump finally pulls the plug on a 45 year strangulation of free speech www.salon.com/2024/12/19/t...

Hoping he is going to keep scoring now he has some confidence back
