These are uncertain times in international politics. Last May, IO issued an open call for short essays on the Future of Global Governance and World Order. Many experts shared theoretically and empirically informed assessments on a wide range of topics. #IOFoGG

The court has confirmed our $7.4B settlement with #PurduePharma. The Sacklers are permanently exiled from the addiction industry. No money can undo the damage, but this settlement is a promise that we will keep fighting for victims, families, treatment, and prevention. #opioidcrisis #Connecticut

15 year old girls are children

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

European negotiators were personally targeted by their American counterparts during a brutal negotiation over green shipping rules, European Commission officials told POLITICO — a highly unusual gambit that left diplomats shaken after the meeting.

Thousands of you shared heartbreaking and maddening stories with me about rising health care costs. But the fight is far from over.

If you're willing to record your story, we can make sure GOP lawmakers see and hear the direct impact of their policy failures: wintheera.myctbl.com/share-your-s...

WATCH: “A MASTER PLAN”

Usually stoic Kushner silently panics as Witkoff spills the beans on the Trump regime’s war profiteering in Gaza - they’ve been working on for ‘TWO YEARS’🤔

(But don’t worry, apparently $50 Billion is “not a lot of money”! 💰🙃)

PSA: This slip-up should be a big deal.

With the passing of Jane Goodall today, we lost one of the most consequential voices in environmental science and animal behavior. In 2002, she said, “We have found that…there isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom.”

So, celebrating Kat Abu being abused by cops is fine, but quoting Charlie Kirk word-for-word is a fireable offense and also probably terrorism?

It's extraordinary how Trump is refusing to coordinate with Illinois leaders.

If he cared about fighting crime, he would double down on efforts like our FBI partnership — not putting our own troops on American city streets.

Chicago police data shows overall violent crime in the city is down by about 22% in the first half of the year compared to 2024. There have also been 31% fewer homicides and 36% fewer shootings betwee...

WOW. @marcelias.bsky.social goes off on the failures of legacy media: "We have an absolute collapse and failure by the institutions that have promised us that democracy would not die in darkness, that in fact, they stand for the proposition that democracy will die in plain sight of daylight."
