Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

They don’t do it because it’s not about crime or justice or even following the law. It is about terrorizing brown immigrants. It is about keeping America as white as possible. They’ve admitted it.

This is why Vance, Musk & the rest of them talk about our ‘free speech’ being under threat while they fast track actual fascism in the USA. It’s a long con & their accomplices are far-right blue ticks with the brains of blancmange.

It was extraordinary. There is, for example, no earthly reason why a little-known radio presenter on a commercial station should have become a national rallying point for Brexit reality simply by telling the obvious truth. (He did have to step down from occasionally presenting Newsnight, though.) 😉

It's funny how the stupidest people of this year - the "Don't worry about what Trump says, he doesn't mean it" brigade - were also the stupidest people of all the Brexit/Truss/Johnson years. It's not funny how they still occupy almost all of the major roles in the commentariat.

Trump administration officials have fired workers for the main American aid agency who were sent to Myanmar to assess how the U.S. could help with earthquake relief efforts, people with knowledge of the actions said.

Brexit. Trump. Truss. Boris Johnson. Netanyahu… It never ceases to amaze me just how much of our media & politicians waltz away unscathed after being so catastrophically & hideously wrong about all the major moments of our time.

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

Listening to the Tim Harford radio 4 doc about how children suffered from a lockdown imposed to protect adults, straight after a news bulletin full of 'young people with MH problems need to get back to work to save us all a fortune' is I have to say fairly jarring

This is the kind of reporting the UK press should be doing on the far right administration on the USA. This is what governments need to bear in mind as they think about dealing with this lawless 47th president.

I do hope European leaders understand what is happening here. Trump and Putin are carving up Ukraine and making fundamental decisions on the future of Europe--and not a single European leader is taking part in the call.

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

JD Vance is currently claiming that his obnoxious comments about France & the UK planning to put 20,000 peacekeeping troops on the ground in Ukraine had, wait for it, nothing to do with France & the UK. Doublespeak, dipshit or both?

As I've been grumbling about certain BBC presenters, it's important to say that correspondents like Jeremy Bowen, Lyse Doucet and Steve Rosenberg continue to not just deliver the finest reporting and analysis but push back against daft questions. It's such a relief to hear them instead of [redacted]

I wonder if this will be Badenoch’s Salisbury moment? Like Corbyn’s desire to give Putin the benefit of the doubt, this is a statement of obvious, politically motivated myopia at a time of political crisis. Voters saw what Corbyn was doing and never forgave or forgot. Same could happen to Kemi.
