I try to bring you the latest on French politics on here, as longtime followers know... but the situation now is too bizarre to sum it up in 280 characters.

But basically, Macronist Prime Minister appointed 3 weeks & resigned abruptly on Monday is still resigning, & still no clarity on what's next.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

The Conservative party's treatment of David, who exposed the cash for questions scandal, is a former political journalist of the year, and has been covering party conferences for almost 40 years, is a disgrace

This one thing perfectly highlights the failure of the U.K. political process:

The referendum result was 52/48.

That is *not* a decision or a mandate. It’s basically a *we don’t know *.

Would you bet your family’s future on a 52/48 opinion? Of course not.

But Theresa May did. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

It is hard to believe GOP Senators just sit there and let Bondi lie, disrespect, and commit perjury and do nothing. It’s appalling.

It’s the US Senate. Act like it GOP.

SPOILER ALERT: Reform and several other parties across Europe (and elsewhere) are fascists.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

We can joke, but things are getting serious when Trump starts putting troops on the streets. The next stop is marshal law and then removal of free elections.

And to some extent, I agree with Katy Lam that the Brexit withdrawal agreement does need to be reopened or added to.

But not to remove rights; instead:

➡️ To add to it and protect *more* rights for *more* people 🇪🇺🇬🇧.

It’s the human thing to do.

Andrew Hesselden @andrewhesselden.bsky.social · 1d

The devastating logical conclusion of this kind of argument is that anyone daring to cross a border (including British people) deserve to have all of their future national insurance rights or safety nets removed.

It’s why EU membership mattered.
