Erasmus mattered because it gave working class kids opportunities money usually buys. The Daily Mail’s owners and the wealthy can send their children anywhere regardless. Erasmus wasn’t for them, it was for students who’d never otherwise get that chance. That’s social mobility, not elitism.

So the plan is Don Jr. and Eric Trump corner the market to become the biggest drug cartel in the Western hemisphere.
CIA controls production, the US military kills the competition with Hellfire missiles, CBP controls drug routes into and out of the US, and ICE raids the local distributors?

The Democrats don’t have an answer to Trump. Do the neoconservatives? David Brooks on why the moral tenor of their political writings could be a tonic for a society in crisis:
Bring Back the Neocons
They could be an antidote to Trumpism.

Russia outlaws feminist protest band Pussy Riot
A court in Moscow said it had upheld prosecution submissions 'to recognize the punk band Pussy Riot as an extremist organization.' After the court's decision, founding member Nadya Tolokonnikova, now living in exile, said she was 'proud' to be labeled 'extremist' by Russia.

Non-zero chance Kash Patel's FBI learned/learns the shooter was MAGA and let/lets him go
Q: Has Kash Patel told you why it's been so difficult for the FBI to identify who the shooter is?
TRUMP: It's always difficult. So far we're done a very good job of it with Charlie, with the various times this has happened. You'll have to ask the school about that.
