The JFK assassination.
It was the first story I tried to read in a UK broadsheet (aged almost 7), and my poor Dad had to field countless difficult-to-answer questions.
It's the origin of my enduring fascination with US politics.

An absurd media narrative in runup to the election said Dems must choose between being "anti-Trump" and running on substance.

The lesson from this election is that anti-Trump politics *is* affordability politics, and affordability politics *is* anti-Trump politics:

David Bowie. He was always a fascinating, witty and entertaining interviewee/conversationalist, whether in print, on the radio, or on film or TV. 💕

Soon, not knowing anyone or anything will be a prerequisite for GOP membership of Congress and cabinet.

So let’s be absolutely clear here - the BBC said he incited violence at January 6th. If you read his speech, that is true. If you read coverage of his response to the attack, that is true. If you read the Congressional report on January 6th, they recommend criminal charges for it.

So can I suggest to anyone who is reading from the UK at the moment and is unsure about what to believe - just read the damn speech. It’s not in any way unclear that he’s telling everyone’s their democracy is being stolen and they should fight against it. www.npr.org/2021/02/10/9...

The former president's remarks are being used by Democrats hoping to convict him for incitement of insurrection — and are being defended by his lawyers in the Senate proceedings.
