And of course - next time Trump supporters storm the capital, the police will clearly be told to stand down...
On that stage you have a convicted felon, you have an FBI Director who pled the Fifth in a grand jury investigation, you have a SecDef who had to pledge to sobriety to get confirmed, and you have a US Atty who helped saddle her former employer with an $800 million settlement.
“This is Liberation Day in DC and we’re taking our Capital back,” says President Trump, announcing the DC Metro Police with be under federal control and National Guard being deployed. “You don’t want to get mugged, raped and killed” in Washington.

Happy Daniel Hannon Day to all who celebrate it. I hope you all enjoy the fireworks as we mark perhaps the worst piece of political forecasting going.

Morning of the NATO summit: two key train lines in the Netherlands are down (Amsterdam-Schiphol; The Hague- Rotterdam) due to power cuts caused by “unidentified” fires along the tracks.
Accidents? Maybe. But we see similar “incidents” all over Europe, and no clue of scale.

Tot de avond geen treinen tussen Schiphol en Utrecht en Amsterdam door stroomstoring
De NS verwacht dat de overlast nog tot de avond zal duren. Aangeraden wordt gebruik te maken van de metro tussen Amsterdam Sloterdijk, Amsterdam Lelylaan en Amsterdam Zuid.

I fear it will come out that Trump/Musk manipulated the election, that he is illegitimate and his response will be to deploy the army and quell 'dissent'
I've never been a fan of American exceptionalism - but I recognise the importance of American Democracy. It is in danger of being snuffed out.

If Russia wants all of Ukraine, it can try and take it. In three days or less.
