It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around. They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway. It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

Previous prime ministers have tried to deal with Farage by pandering to his ideas, and it’s led to disaster. Starmer must avoid the same fate www.theneweuropean.co.uk/tom-baldwin-...

Starmer’s duty is to protect Britain from a US wrecking the global trading system.. but the greater, more lasting protection will come only when the free nations unite to resist a US president bent on destroying so much that we all value – & not only on trade. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The United States: "We refuse to join the International Criminal Court because it's an abuse of our sovereignty for other countries to tell us what to do." Also the United States: "Stockholm, Sweden, you must drop your DEI policies OR ELSE!"

global media coverage of climate continues to fall - but of what does get covered, the systemic impact of data centre expansionism on fossil fuel burning is a good chunk. Which is good! mecco.colorado.edu/summaries/is...

Busting up big corporations.  Tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

My takeaway from this: He is so fucked.

The world is on Zelensky’s side. Zelensky applauded by world leaders upon entering church.

You have been watching the greatest economic disaster strategy from an American President in history.

"Donald Trump and his children, cronies, allies, appointees, saboteurs, and fellow uber-rich will never stop trying to seize ever more power and make ever more money. This is almost always the simplest, most logical explanation for whatever is going on."

Dopey Don, again...

APOLLO: * consumer sentiment collapsing * US tourism collapsing * new orders collapsing * cost pressures UP 🇺🇸
