Surely, you can't "deport" a US Citizen from the United States? You can only expel them, right?

When Trump's Ukraine peace bid fails (not if), it is highly likely the USA will be in direct disagreement, if not confrontation, with Europe when Trump announces the withdrawal of military support.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Despite everything that has gone before, I am utterly, UTTERLY astonished by this. It is almost as if it were translated directly from the German: "6 million trials would take too long."

Is anybody keeping track of the sales of printed copies of the US Constitution? I bet they're through the roof in the last month or so.

Trump/Vance have given the British people some inkling of what it feels like to be a "colony". Probably their only useful act to date.

RFK Jr's words on autism this week are no different from Trump's vicious "impersonation" of the disabled reporter at his campaign rally.

Just a reminder: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lacks formal education or professional credentials in critical scientific fields such as biology, neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, immunology, virology, epidemiology, genetics, pharmacology, or medicine.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

It seems the US Congress cannot actually believe what it is seeing. by the time it does believe it, it will be too late. It probably is already too late.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

In the past eight months, 3 cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) have been diagnosed in one Oregon county; 2 of them have died. CJD is the human form of mad cow disease. It’s caused by prions and it’s not known how they developed it. CJD is 100% fatal. There is no treatment.

“Market manipulation” and “insider trading” are euphemisms for “fraud”. “Fraud” is a euphemism for “theft”.

You know that story about adverts telling Australians they can buy the right to a UK state pension for life, even if they only lived here for three years and may not even have been working? My brilliant colleague Will Dunn asked HMRC about it. Their answer probably won't surprise you...

💥 "90 day delay except China" was leaked 1 day before the actual announcement. This is the biggest insider trading scheme in history.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

The Law of Unintended Consequences (aka Sod’s Law) is relentless. The major unintended consequence of the Great Depression was World War II. It’s only taken us 80 years to forget that.
