Just sent out this piece. The whole idea that Trump's sanctions on Russian oil were meant to hurt Putin is collapsing on all fronts. Indian and Chinese purchases are up and there are no secondary sanctions to be found. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Nope. Because this is all about the short and long term. We have to cull these people now or put the pressure on them and see if they'll change or else we all screwed.
You're not wrong, but can we please wait until after the midterms before we start the internal war? We always shoot ourselves in the foot and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with the in-fighting. Why don't we put 100% of the attention on them and their failures and win first then cull?

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

Q: "There were new Epstein photos released today showing you…What was your reaction?"
Trump: “There are hundreds and hundreds of people that have photos with him, so that's no big deal. I know nothing about it.”

Starmer has zero convincing arguments for a £1.6bn policy that wasn’t in the manifesto. But if you’re a billionaire Silicon Valley bro - as Blair’s financial patron, Larry Ellison is - building a centralised database has many enticing possibilities

If Keir Starmer's digital ID is the question, Tony Blair is the answer
The government's wildly unpopular new policy is backed by Britain’s wildly unpopular former PM. It’s also a techno-authoritarian’s wet dream, argues Carole Cadwalladr

”Se, että vaikutusarviot jätetään käytännössä tekemättä kokonaan, on todella poikkeuksellista. En edes pysty sanomaan, onko koskaan aiemmin ihan näin tapahtunut.”
Susilaki sai arviointineuvostolta huonoimman mahdollisen arvosanan – Puheenjohtaja: ”Todella poikkeuksellista”
Asiantuntijan mukaan poliittinen ohjaus on kasvanut lainvalmistelussa 2000-luvulla. Siitä huolimatta lakiesitysten taso on hieman parantunut viime vuosina.
