An really important thing a lot of people don't realize about Trump is that he doesn't bully people he doesn't think he can bully.
Let’s be clear.
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social got Trump so charmed that Trump posted two photos of the two of them with Franklin Roosevelt’s portrait behind them AND one of just Mamdani and FDR’s portrait.

More later, perhaps in a column, but Marjorie Taylor Greene, like so many loons who have coat-tailed Trump, feeds off the attention economy. She’s betting the attention is going to shift from “Trump is amazing” to “Trump has failed us,” and she’s putting herself on the leading edge of that wave.

Tonight should remind everyone: As destructive and dangerous as Trump is, he's a trust fund kid who inherited a fortune and went bankrupt six times. He's going to crash and burn. A new generation of strong bold leaders will rise from the ashes. Tonight is only the beginning if we work for it.

Do Israel’s supporters know it’s over for them? Like, they know they’re going to be despised for the rest of their lives, right? That they will never, ever live down the fact that they supported a live-streamed genocide?

I pitched Hind Rajab’s story to the BBC while she was still alive. I will never stop fighting for the newsroom conditions in which her story would have been told long before she was killed by Israel. We’d have seen immediate wall to wall coverage of a 5-year-old white girl.

Just a reminder:
There's 650 MPs in the Commons and only 427 seats. All sittings begin with Anglican-led prayers. MPs who attend prayers are more able to get seats and more likely to speak in debates. This has been common practice since 1567.
Is this the way our democracy should be in 2025? No!

It is remarkable how quickly "disruption" has transformed from a theory of progress to an excuse for regression, though with equal profits for its proponents.

the real reason Trump’s victory broke American liberals is because they still believe in American exceptionalism. Corruption and incompetence are things they expect in “lesser” nations - you know, the ones America destabilises - not in the country that puts flags on the moon.
