Trump's plan to send troops to Chicago is abuse of power, Illinois governor says The president said on Friday that he's planning to send troops to Chicago as part of a crime crackdown in several US cities.

Common theme. States with Govs who may be presidential candidates. Wake up America. Where next I wonder?

First Carney in Canada now Albanese in Australia. We educated our Dominions well. Perhaps we can do some relearning from their experience now! #Politics

Getting nervous! Too much election interference reported from south of the border. Not to mention posters suggesting seniors can vote tomorrow! Canadian friends get out & vote now! #Canada #elbowsup

What did Pope Francis think of JD Vance? His view was more than clear | Jan-Werner Mueller Francis was as outspoken as could be without naming names, when he criticized Vance in his February letter to US bishops

We should start worrying when politicians become theologians, assume to speak for Jesus, and tell us in which order to love.”

90 days and then we reprise the nonsense elsewhere!

Trump blinked! Not China though. Big mistake!

Thank you so much Donald!

To #ACH be careful what you engineer. You'll not remain leader for long! #DavidGreen The next Scottish Election will be 'interesting' with Highland List critical. Constituencies will be a 2 horse race! 😭😭😭 List reps will make the difference. Now, who to vote for there?? just 13 months to go! ❤️

2 days on and I'm a bit more sympathetic. What's a 'decent' Tory to do. The current Party is beyond the pale! Reform is beyond the field beyond the pale! Confess I've been watching #SLDConf - 2 comments. Jamie Green MSP is a fair fit. &

A meme of the infamous meeting in the Oval Office with Zelensky as Trump and Vance dismissively put their hands up to him. But he has been replaced with a penguin to mock Trump’s tariff against uninhabited islands, home to only penguins.

Meanwhile so many MSPs standing down & also sad to see my friend Maxine resign from Highland Council. Times are a changing!

Don't get me wrong, Andrew Baxter is a good, hard working councillor, but Party hopping for the sake of an opportunity doesn't sit well with me (though some would say that's now history given his previous bye-election victory).

"A former independent Highland councillor who defected to the Tories is the Lib Dem candidate to take on Kate Forbes at the next election."
Just .. reread .. that .. slowly.

Hmm. Marine Le Pen judgement. Not a fan of the woman & her politics but am I the only one who thinks this doesn't smell quite right? Don't agree much with Elon these days but this could backfire badly & it won't only be the French affected. & hearing the French PM uncomfortable with it.

Thanks #duolingo. I’m sure this will come in handy one day… 🤔😆🐳🐖🫶

It would be bad enough to see your country destroyed by an evil genius. But an evil moron, that's just embarrassing.

Hand over energy infrastructure to US and Trump (& therefore Putin) has control over European energy supplies. The reason we cannot let Ukraine fail! Let's start speaking honestly about what is at stake here!

I consider myself Ukraine strong & Canada angry. I may be deluded but increasingly I think not! #elbowsup
