Being alive for the "find out" portion of history is really tiring when I wasn't doing the fucking around ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Donald Trump, "The USA wasn't involved," also Donald Trump, "the next attack will be even more brutal."

You realize it can't be both.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ"It is hard to predict how this will end, other than badly. It will take years to rebuild Americaโ€™s constitutional checks and balances, institutions, and international standing, but possibly decades to restore political trust."

Candidly, as a civ-mil watcher, this scene at Bragg is freaking me out more than anything else that's happened so far. Just an absolute collapse of professional military norms.

We live in Britain, and there are now profound questions to ask our government. There's no conceivable bridge between Europe & this US administration. Whether we escape tariffs is a laughably parochial question. Yesterday is now an awfully long time ago.

Almost 20 European leaders, incl Emmanuel Marcon & Friedrich Merz, plus VDL, have posted in support of @ZelenskyyUa after White House showdown.

Notably, Keir Starmer has not. No 10 is referring reporters to PMโ€™s comments this week on a just & lasting peace, with Ukraine at heart of talks.

Good grief, is there anything more vomit inducing than watching Keir Starmer suck up to Trump ๐Ÿคฎ

This X account has been given a grey checkmark, verifying it as an official government account.

It also only accepts resumes be DM's, which are solely open to verified X users who pay Elon Musk.

This level of corruption is staggering.

Morning Bluesky.

The EU needs to move fast.

German MPs have been briefed by the Federal Civil Protection Agency that if Ukraine falls within the next six months, millions of Ukrainians will head West. Official estimate: 10 million. Unofficial: up to 18 million.

The truth about an archaic tradition Labour wants to abolish For centuries, Parliament has had โ€˜noblemenโ€™ sitting in the House of Lords, solely due to their ancestral lineage โ€“ but their days are numbered

Labourโ€™s Bill to remove hereditary peers from the House of Lords reaches Committee Stage soon. These titlesโ€”passed down by family lineageโ€”mean unelected power in Parliament, largely for wealthy white men. Jenny Rhodes reports.
