You wanna know how low musktrump can low? It’s just cancelled the nugatory US support for KIND, which provides legal assistance to undocumented children caught in the immigration web. You could wish the worst on Stephen Miller, but you’d be better off sending KIND your money (SupportKind)

Kathleen’s starter at Le Petit Boutary in Paris on Saturday - thinly cross- sliced leaks bathed in a creamy leek sauce dotted with red caviar. Superb. Took the mind completely off you know who

Even 3,000 miles away you can’t escape Trump. At 975, our favourite Paris restaurant, last night, I was telling our old friend Matthieu, the manager, how depressing DC was under Trump. Every nearby table suddenly was all ears - and then voices in sympathy .

It is better for the soul and peace of mind to watch Nepal play Bhutan at cricket than to suffer through a Karoline Leavitt White House press “conference.” I’ve no idea why respectable news organs send reporters to it when it’s available on TV

Only the courts are standing up but Trump is threatening to ignore them and Vance to impeach them. And it may be doubted that the Thomalitosuch Supreme Court will do anything. Huey Long once said that when fascism comes to America it will have an American face. I fear he may be right

I’m never hysterical but the similarities between 1930s Germany and the US today are too much to ignore. Nationalists in control of government, a supine legislature, depressed political opposition, compliant greedy corporations, an impotent media run by oligarchs, a dumbed down population. Mf

And though I read in the FT no less that Kendrick Lamarr is without rap peer, I must say I can’t understand a word he says/sings in the half time show. I do apologize for such a sentiment but the missus, who has better hearing, agrees

Nothing. This Super Bowl is a rout. The commercials are incomprehensible to anybody over 18. Trump is allegedly present. Fox coverage fascist. Tom Brady a useless commentator. Bed beckons

Oh dear. According to a well reported piece in the Atlantic Trump is planning to take over the Kennedy Center, maybe including appointing himself as chairman. Farewell Mozart, Beethoven, Baryshnikov.Hello Lee Greenwood, the Village People and Carrie Underwood, whomever she may be

It is hard to take Netanyahu grinning like the Cheshire Cat while Trump proposes what amounts to the ethnic cleaning of Gaza ( and later the West Bank). Back in Israel Smotrich and Ben Gvir must be dancing with joy

So Senator Cassidy is just like another GOP colleague , Susan Collins. Always “deeply troubled “ about voting for a patently unqualified nominee, yet caving in the end. Thus are Louisiana and Maine linked in cowardice. Their French forbears would not approve

As a freshly minted US citizen I was genuinely looking forward to the new experience, for me, of jury duty. Today I was summoned but they never got round to calling my number. “See you in two years,” the judge said as he ushered us out. And it was an actual murder trial. I could have been H Fonda

As someone who likes country music, even knows quite a bit about it, I am appalled, but not surprised the Grammys grovelled and awarded the best album to Beyoncé for Cowboy Carter . It is, at best , a poor pastiche of the genre. Also not worth listening to more than once

Watching the Grammys ( and I’m sorry Cole Porter) I’m struck how big pharma, previously saturating the geriatric TV viewership, now has its hooks into the innocent younger generation. If only it had its addictive hooks into Elon Musk. Perhaps it has

I am at a loss for words. Musk has posted “USAID is a criminal organization. It is time for it to die.” Yet this nasty little Afrikaaner fascist bigot seems to be declaring war on legitimate US institutions . Surely it is time for DOGE to die

Caroline Leavitt, the new WH press secretary, is pure Barbie. I can envisage her opening a future briefing like this. “isn’t it a wonderful day under our glorious leader. I have an announcement. president Trump has signed an executive order declaring Barack Hussein Obama an illegal alien. Mf

I’ve long pegged RFK Jr as something between a crank and charlatan, trading on his famous family name. Today’s hearing reveals him to be something far worse - a political whore willing to sleep with anybody who gives him the time of day
