"Early American history is full of examples of bilingual government, experts said. In the 19th century, Midwestern states translated laws and messages from their governors into Norwegian, German and Welsh." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/u...

Hilarious

A former spy and close friend of Vladimir Putin has been engineering a restart of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to Europe with the backing of US investors, a once unthinkable move that shows the breadth of Donald Trump’s rapprochement with Moscow. www.ft.com/content/dc9c...

This did not age well.

“Trump and Vance’s joint dressing down of Zelenskiy will go down in history — indeed, will live in infamy — as a shameful moment of American betrayal.” Read @andreaskluth.bsky.social on today’s Oval Office clash ⬇️

Trump has picked a side. Putin's.

Absolutely

Trump and Vance doing Putin’s work again today. Who the hell thought it a good idea to offer these people a state visit?

Two weeks ago, Vance lectured Europe for supposedly not tolerating free speech. Today he tried to bully Zelenskyy for not saying exactly what Trump wanted. A grifter and a coward.

Disappointed, but not surprised, Cardiff West’s Labour MP voted against devolving the Crown Estate to Wales. All of Cardiff’s MPs did! This would have ensured profits from Welsh natural resources were kept in Wales. Instead, the monarchy and London Treasury continue to profit from Welsh assets.

Mass corwardice has formed the worst Cabinet.

Bydd colled fawr ar Ă´l Sel Wilias. Roedd yn un o'r rhai a gyflwynodd sosialaeth gymunedol, Gymraeg a Chymreig yn syniadaeth y Gymdeithas, a gwneud cymunedau yn ganolog i'n hymgyrchoedd.

This is wild. Employees working in one arm of the US Government are instructed that “malign foreign actors” will access their responses to another arm of government. That ‘Civil War’ movie doesn’t seem quite so far-fetched…

The Jane Fonda speech is 🔥 👏👏👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_v0...

(Un) believable www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

"unexpected" - when has Johnson ever been anything other than a self interested shill. It is absolutely ludicrous that Ukraine should be made to pay reparations during conflict AND when it is not the agressor.

Sarah Jones, energy minister, replies to Richard Tice rubbishing Net Zero: “Here we go Mr Speaker, with the same old lines…in this place telling us Net Zero is a massive con, and yet he owns a company investing in electric car charging points….”

I wonder if there are other Reform/UKIP people who have been accepting Russian bribes over the years.

Unbelievable

😳

The economics profession presents an idealised version of the economy, as beautiful as Dorian Gray’s unchanging face. The actual economy is increasingly ugly, like his portrait: marked by oligarchs and the underclass, the looting of poor countries, and the industrial-scale gobbling up of the planet

Wales U20s beat Ireland for first back-to-back wins in five years

Oof

This is not an extra amount but a restoration of an element of the current budget. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There are those that have spent an enormous amount of money to get us to that point.

Champagne corks were popping in Moscow after U.S. President Donald Trump verbally flogged Ukraine and its leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

This part needs to be widely known: Musk has “received almost a billion dollars worth of new contract money from the US government in 2 weeks.”

Trump quacks like a Russian asset.

Absolutely.

Umberto Eco's essay about fascism and the warning signs. Now 30 years old and still bang on. www.nybooks.com/articles/199...

He went from "this platform will be politically neutral" to using it to buy a presidency and then using the presidency to market his platform.

Mitch McConnell is pushing back against President Trump’s most controversial nominees, becoming an unlikely — and sometimes lonely — face of Republican resistance.

Torrential rain is expected this week in Los Angeles, which risks producing flash flooding and landslides in areas stripped of vegetation by the recent wildfires.
