Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

You've found the start of my daily thread for Day 1149 of Russia's "3-day Special Operation" to capture Kyiv. Thank you for your continued support for my work, but more importantly for ensuring as many people as possible know the truth about what's happening in Ukraine.

A deal with a US that’s hostile to the EU won’t deliver growth “Starmer and Reeves have always insisted that growth, and a fairer distribution of its proceeds, is their central objective. If that remains true, then something will have to give. It may have to be the US deal. To govern is to choose.”

Glaciers in all European regions saw a net loss of ice in 2024. Record rates of mass losses in Scandinavia and Svalbard, likely due to warmer-than-average summer temperatures. European Alps among fastest-receding globally. More details in the #ESOTC2024 report https://bit.ly/3XVF695

“Only the people of Ukraine can decide on our territory,” – Zelensky delivers a firm rebuke to Trump’s envoy. A clear message to Witkoff, who’s been openly floating a “settlement on five regions” in Ukraine.

A brilliant Ted talk by Carole Cadwalladr, of the few journalists who reported facts in the face of the blatant lies fuelling the Brexit campaign and now Trumps coup of the US. The “broligarchs “ you allow to scrape your data are not your friends. #EvilCorp youtube.com/watch?v=TZOo...

Russia's war has been ongoing for 11 years. 13 April 2014: Ukraine launched its Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) as Russian paramilitary commando units were busy seizing cities, towns and regional administrations in Ukraine's Donbas region with help from Russian GRU, VDV and FSB special forces.

With all due respect to the President of France: A ceasefire won't stop the war - only suspend it for a short time while Russia gathers its forces again. We have seen many "Russian ceasefires" over the last 11 years. The way to stop the war is to help democratic Ukraine defeat fascist Russia.

We are further from peace today because of Trump, Witkoff, and their failed strategy of appeasing russia instead of pressuring it

Zelenskyy: “Only filthy scum can act like this..” I’d go further and include the appeasers, apologists and enablers of Putin - the leaders that give him an easy ride, the media personalities that push his propaganda, the governments that prop him up. They are all complicit.

Russian terrorist attack in Sumy, Ukraine today, Palm Sunday. Latest: 31 killed including 1 child, a further 84 injured. It is impossible not to conclude that Putin has been emboldened by Trump. This, just hours after Witkoff’s disgraceful pandering to Putin. (🎥 Euromaidan)

New colonialism. Trump ‘demands control’ from Ukraine of key pipeline carrying Russian gas to Europe. All part of US plan to takeover Ukraine energy and mineral assets; handing territory to Russia. Trump is no friend. Ukraine can pay back US aid over next 75 years, without being enslaved.

Mirroring Russia's 2022 invasion strategy of Ukraine, the US Trump regime will deploy troops along the Panama Canal for what it claims is "training, exercises and "other activities"" after months of threatening invasion. Panamanians say the US of launching a “camouflaged invasion”. #panamainvasion

The variables in my overly simplistic formula for who is going to "win" a trade war are: a) Economic strength b) Skill in wielding that strength strategically c) Your public's commitment to the cause and pain tolerance You can draw your own conclusions.
