The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Enjoying the NYT Opinions podcast in which Jamelle Bouie (a very smart, well-informed guy) politely but firmly corrects Ross Douthat (a thundering idiot talking out of his ass). Extremely civil but gently damning

London Muslim’s mayoral candidate for Reform UK, Cunningham, declares an all-out war on crime - but not white-collar crime. Three of her firms were forcibly struck off for missing paperwork. Yet Farage calls her a ‘successful entrepreneur.’” #ukpolitics

That’s despite Reform UK criticising councils for raising it and implying they would freeze or reduce its

17 BREACHED MP code of conduct, and not declaring on time over £380.000. This man is literally worse than any Tory worse than Johnson. How can anyone think he's right to run uk?. Thought back to honest politics was the key............

Let's not blow this out of proportion. It was just an admin error. Two admin errors. A few admin errors. Seventeen admin errors worth £380,000.
… including payments for promoting gold, presenting on GB News and from his friend George Cottrell, within 28 days.

Reform UK leader apologised for what he described as administrative errors by his team.

Absolute belter of an episode on the hard right showing signs of fragmenting. The more Farage tries to present as "mainstream" the more he looks like an establishment traitor to his core bigots and the more Reform looks like a care home for bitter Tories to everyone else.

The idea that Russia - a state that has spent almost four years throwing everything it has at conquering its neighbour, and failing - is remotely capable of invading Greenland, or is going to be in the foreseeable future, is ludicrous.
