Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

Ruben Amorim:

2.5 year contract. Only here because of Mendes connections. Been told to bin the two highest earners (who will be back in the team very soon anyway). Ashworth wanted nothing to do with him or this mess. Feel sorry for Amorim. Good manager + seems a good man. Set up to fail.

Whether it's Republicans refusing to accept the legitimacy of Joe Biden's presidency or Democrats refusing to accept the legitimacy of Elon Musk's presidency, both sides have thrown our government into a legitimacy crisis.

The fact that Elon Musk wanted to give Nigel Farage and Reform UK $100m but couldn't because it was illegal should be the death of Reform, who supposedly are all about sovereignty and the 'working' man.

But it won't be because they are all stupid.

That Lossiemouth performance today... Crikey. It looked like they went very steady and turned into a sprint which would obviously suit her, but for her to kick a horse as good as Teahupoo out the way like that is special.

By my estimation Sir Gino has run to his rating (152). We've learned he's worth his juvenile rating which wasn't a given, but he's not quite proven he's Champion Hurdle class. It did look like there was more in the tank, tho. Not sure we'll find out how much more until Cheltenham...
