Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Describing a society that can produce this level of science and also elect a guy who says your neighbours eat your dogs and cats would never work in fiction.
NASA just captured a comet from another solar system, from nearly every angle. 🛰️🧪
Comet 3I/ATLAS isn’t just any comet, it’s interstellar, formed in a different star system and now offering a rare look at alien material passing through ours.

All PMs are flawed but I think if you have no coherent vision, no ability to make decisions quickly, no humour or charisma when addressing the public, no strong roots in your party, no talent for charming MPs and no control over your own office, then you are unlikely to be able to turn it around

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

UK leaders/politicians/press rubbished and railed for decades against the thing EU citizens believe is the most important strength of the EU, thought they could easily replicate the thing in second place, and never mentioned the 3rd most important aspect - solidarity with other member states.
Just going through some new Eurobarometer findings that have just been posted by EUC.
And thinking of this thread again with that "s" word that (some/many) Britons don't want to hear about coming up again in position #3 🙂

Zohran Mamdani showed the Democratic party exactly how to win, but I fear they will totally deny the lesson. Meanwhile, ballroom boy has already pivoted to affordability. Please don’t let the old guard lose yet another election due to corruption and incompetence.
