I lost my birth certificate, and although I also have a passport, decided I should have a birth certificate available. I don't live in the state in which I was born. It took months for my birth certificate to arrive, and it cost me about $40. It's not simple, even if your name matches.

In case you missed it ... In 2019, outgoing EU Council President Donald Tusk described Brexit as the true "End of the British Empire". He predicted it would turn the UK into an "outsider, a second-rate player", with China, USA and the EU holding the balance of power. Everything he said came true.

This is worth keeping in mind in the days ahead. That’s a lot of leverage for some countries.

Today’s #Caturday didn’t end so well. My naughty tabby Geraldine knowingly did a little misbehaving and sauntered off when I discovered it. Later, she did what cats do when I dropped something: played with it. Being in a bad mood I admonished her. Now she runs away at the sight of me. Not good.😢

The so-called Defense Secretary has ordered 400 books removed from the Naval Academy library. This outrageous ban includes works about Slavery and the Holocaust, but not a book written by Adolf Hitler. The effort to whitewash our history must be reversed and Pete Hegseth fired IMMEDIATELY.

Putin’s meeting with Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, lasted more than four hours. Meanwhile, Reuters reports that about a week ago, Witkoff told Trump that the quickest way to achieve a ceasefire would be to give Russia four regions of Ukraine. www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

All the same people who did everything they could to help Trump win, now badly want Pierre Poilievre to win. Nothing else in this Canadian election will change that fact.

DOGE has quietly transformed into something far more sinister — not a system for streamlining government, but one designed for surveillance, control, and targeting. And no one’s talking about it. So we’re going to spill the tea.

Keir Starmer’s determination to save Britain's tiny steel industry contrasts with his continued refusal to offer meaningful help to the many more workers whose livelihoods still depend on the EU www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/keir-starm...

Does anybody else ever need to think hard what liberal means, given it comes in so many incarnations? Eg. Liberal Parties in different countries? Liberal views? I find it really confusing.

Turned on Radio 4, discussing today's recall of parliament "Reform calling for Nationalising British Steel". Plaid Cymru and the SNP (and many within Labour) have been calling for renationalisation of steel for years, but they don't get name checked. Do you see the problem here with coverage?

Removing these data silos almost certainly violates the post Watergate reforms passed into law after Nixon used the IRS to target his enemies

Witkoff touching his heart the moment he sees Putin to show admiration and respect is also nauseating. The representative of the most powerful country in the world fawning over a tyrant of an almost broken imperialist nation. That would have tipped the balance of power towards Putin in that meeting.

Eighteen months before the midterms, the Republican National Committee is litigating more than 40 cases aimed at making voting more difficult. In North Carolina, the GOP is literally trying to steal a state Supreme Court seat won by a Democrat last November.

This is the blindingly obvious thing about the China-US trade surplus: it exists because Americans want Chinese goods more than the Chinese want American goods. A trade war won't work for the simple reason you can't make the Chinese want what they don't want.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc. But it won't be DOJ. It won't be the SEC. It won't be Congress. You know who CAN investigate this? NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.
