Most Americans have no idea that there is no way back to pre-inauguration governance via online posts, TV hits, lawsuits and voting in maybe-free, maybe not-so-free elections. That ship has sailed.

“All this ‘shock and awe’ from Trump & Musk is overwhelming. But forced to defend all of this will stretch them thin. We have to be considered and strategic. Once the challenges start coming, it is them who will have to prioritise what to defend and what to junk. So take a breath and hold the line.”

Trump’s new world chaos offers possibilities for post-Brexit Britain. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. The UK's choice isn’t just between US & EU, it's about the new global divide, and it could finally change the stale politics of Brexit: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/02/trum...

Elon Musk, the unelected half-trillionaire who controls the Treasury and is taking a chainsaw to the government, is explicitly calling for “more immigration of White South Africans” because they are “fiscally positive.” Make Apartheid Great Again

NEW: Trump is going to force Americans to pay more for coffee because Colombia refused to accept his deportation flights. He announces immediate 25% tariffs on all Colombian goods, rising to 50% next week. Diplomatic bullying of a supposed ally and economic self-harm. It’s Day 6.

ICE-Gestapo agents have been detaining members of the Navajo Nation. This is MAGA white supremacy in full display.

I'm not sure anyone has seen this from a supposed whistleblower at X. Concerning, if true. "What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations." theconcernedbird.substack.com/p/elon-musks...

This is a superb piece of writing and analysis by @stephenkb.bsky.social in which he takes apart Tory opportunism and pandering to Elon Musk over the grooming gangs and compares it to Farage’s consistent red line on Tommy Robinson. Compulsory reading.
