A reminder to the British press: Donald Trump just says stuff. Reporting what he says as though it’s fact will inevitably make you look like an idiot. There’s not going to be a US/UK trade deal imminently and Trump really doesn’t care about the UK, even if he likes being flattered.

Avdiivka, ruined by Russian nazis. Footage from a Russian channel. The nazis got what they wanted. Destruction spreads across the land like a disease, like leprosy, wherever the Russian foot steps.

"NATO is not the thing that Russia is afraid of. Russia is afraid of democracy expanding to Russia. Why are we in NATO? Its because we are afraid of Russia. And the only thing that really works – the only security guarantee that works – is NATO's umbrella," Kaja Kallas said in an interview with AFP

This is a travesty. They’re going to conjure up phony numbers to try and hide the fact that they are exploding the deficit with massive corporate tax cuts and tax cuts for the top earners. Tariff projections and Trump Gold Cards pay for everything! A complete fraud.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

What is even the point of being so stupidly rich and powerful if, and I genuinely cannot stress this enough, you're still scared of Donald Trump. That's just an unfathomable level of cowardice.

“In all, the US has spent just 0.19 per cent of GDP on military assistance for Ukraine... In return, it has gained the humiliation of what was once thought to be a powerful enemy and the vindication of the ideals of liberal democracy, for which Ukrainians are fighting and the US once fought.”

I was an expert witness in Huang v. Tesla, and I got to watch Tesla's hired expert try to defend their safety record. Even their expert in a multi-million dollar trial was limited to using whatever was on Tesla's website. It led to some bizarre exchanges. I assumed the internal data was worse.
