Huge victory for Zohran Mamdani in the Oval Office. He stuck to his guns, spoke about affordability, proudly declared himself a Democratic Socialist, condemned genocide in Gaza, did not back down from calling Trump a “fascist,” and still got Trump to praise him, undermining months of GOP attacks.

At a weather station in the US, management installed motion-activated lights. But the weather observers needed darkness to study the weather at night.
"We all have to stay completely still for 15 whole minutes before the lights will turn off," said one.

The Mayor of London has told me in public just now he supports scrapping the two child benefit cap - when the Chancellor can afford to do so.
I asked him if he'd support a wealth tax on assets - and he refused to answer the question.
Labour always supporting the 1%.

Covid inquiry live updates: UK did 'too little, too late', leading to thousands more Covid deaths, says inquiry
The inquiry says an earlier lockdown could have saved 23,000 lives in the first wave in England - and lockdown could have been avoided altogether with earlier interventions.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about the pollution that will surely have spoiled most viable farmland in Ukraine, which used to produce lots of food for the rest of the world. At some point this will start again and even after de-mining do we want to have all the chemicals of war in the food chain?
Ukraine is demanding nearly $44 billion from Russia for climate damage caused by the war, Reuters reports. Kyiv says the invasion has produced around 237 million tonnes of extra CO2, from fuel use, destroyed industry and wartime fires. It’s the first claim of its kind. Moscow has offered no comment.
