Been a good day today. From morning to evening, European leaders standing up, all around the world, one after another, and speaking clearly against the Trump/Putin agenda.

Hopeless. Nothing like enough. These are little kiddie figures. It should be funded by borrowing, not spending cuts. And those cuts should not be based on trying to make us as meanspirited and irresponsible a country as possible. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4...

Weird how I'm told that I facilitate the rise of fascism by dismissing people who have "legitimate concerns" about immigration but my views on how we should tax billionaires and corporations more have been dismissed for years and it hasn't resulted in billionaires and corporations being taxed more.

Good - UK and EU have to work together quite intensively on defence issues, and that is evidently happening. Still expect this to be the centrepiece of the May summit. But it should also facilitate other conversations, as is happening albeit in stumbling fashion. www.ft.com/content/1a82...

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

I'm less concerned about normal peoples reaction than that of the politics It seems many are in shock and denial. We are seeing our entire security and foreign policy strategy since 1945 collapse. NATO is quite possibly done. The US is no longer reliable. Multilateral action done. A new world

The most basic fact about a contract is that you can’t unilaterally rescind it; you can only unilaterally breach it. The Feds signed off on their part of the congestion pricing process. They don’t have unilateral authority to “rescind” anything.

1. The Senate confirmed RFK Jr at the same time as a massive measles outbreak was sweeping through areas of Texas with low vaccination rates. RFK Jr visited Texas yesterday. Not to address the burgeoning crisis but to continue to push anti-vaccine messaging.

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?
