It is very difficult to defeat the government on any terrorism judicial review

It is also very difficult to defeat the government when challenging a statutory instrument, terrorism or otherwise.

Legally this is a *huge* achievement for the applicants.

We don't need you. But don't you dare stop lending us money.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Attn news commentators: Trump saying he could use force to obtain Greenland but won’t is not Trump saying he won’t use force to obtain Greenland. It is Trump using force as a threat to obtain Greenland. That is why he mentions it.

I think the medical term is "dying".

Right: Bessent does seem like the smartest person and coolest head in the Trump cabinet. He also managed to engineer a solution and calm the markets in April during the tariff rollout capital markets crisis (also, by telling people to ignore Trump).

The Economist, April 8th 1933.

(The territorial dispute between Norway and Denmark over parts of #Greenland was decided in Denmark's favour by the International Court.)

The “seismic” geopolitical shocks currently taking place should push the EU to “change permanently” and seize an opportunity to build a “new independent Europe,” Ursula von der Leyen has said in a veiled rebuke to U.S. President Donald Trump.

".. we continue to waver between a realization that one has NOT, thus far, been incentivized to fight the Administration in the markets, and a growing knowledge that we are living amidst unprecedented amounts of policy risks, most of which are underpriced." (1/2)

Wow — New YouGov / Economist poll:

46% support abolishing ICE
43% oppose abolishing ICE

This is the first time that abolishing ICE has received net positive support

Trump: Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP 8 ReTruths 38 Likes 1/13/26, 6:43 AM

Trump encourages the protesters in Iran and writes: “Save the names of the killers and abusers.”

What a great idea! Let’s all do that globally!

Not the editing quality, and scientific/environmental reporting rigor I would expect from @theguardian.com Merchants of doubt stuff.

By using Roger Kuhlman's, former Dow Chemical Company, "bombshell" quote in the headline, The Guardian effectively frames a technical methodological discussion as a dramatic "debunking."

Undermines legitimate methodological concerns raised by serious scientists in the article.

please can we stop pretending that any of this is remotely normal, and not alarming

Meanwhile, in Blighty, lotta tough talk in Parliament but we'll see if they actually follow through with it. Would love to hear a comment from MPs on why they're still actively using a site that is actively committing an offence via abusive image creation.

Where have all the "libertarians" gone?

Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.

Trump’s Immigration Nightmare: It Is Happening Here With astonishing speed, the administration has toppled the most cherished pillars of a free society. And the experts agree: It’s all going to get much, much worse.

I read @radleybalko.bsky.social’s magisterial New Republic cover story on Trump's immigration crackdown over the Xmas break and it's an even more (depressingly) essential read now in the wake of events in Minneapolis newrepublic.com/article/2042...

What could go wrong?

State capitalism ftw

capitalism how does it work?
