Per @occrp.org : Good news for the world’s dictators – the EU's new anti-money laundering rules don’t take effect until 2027 & non-EU Switzerland is outside their reach. So nearly a third of all aircraft tracked by the Dictator Alert project visited aircraft outfitters near Basel in a 3-year period

Israel’s PM posted doctored image of Trump receiving Nobel Peace Prize. Ukraine's Zelenskyy said he’d nominate him if he got Russia war to ceasefire. Taiwan’s president said 'same' if he works for HIS country. Trump reduced to status of performing monkey? www.rashmee.com/trumps-nomin...

@thenewworldmag.bsky.social ed @sanglesey.bsky.social on how "abrasive Kemi’s charm offensive ended up being just offensive": Tory MPs invited to lunch in Kemi's Westminster office were offered shop-bought sandwiches while their sandwich-hating leader “had something hot brought in” for herself!

CBS: "America," "American," "all of the tools of the digital era," and speed. MSNBC: Press freedom, the First Amendment, and ethics.

Spot on @vermontgmg.bsky.social : "The Republican Congress and the Trump administration made this bed; they, across all three branches, are fully responsible for the crash of our constitutional system..." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...
There is no budget "deal" to be made
President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.
