Today, we remember all the victims murdered during the Holocaust, and we stand with those who survived.

We also mark the 81st anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.

This dark memory must be passed to future generations.

Never again.

The provocations of Vladimir Putin and the semi-detachment of Donald Trump are forcing the EU to radically transform itself.

This week's summit of European leaders will offer the starkest evidence yet the bloc as it once was is no more.
Leaders press to reshape EU under Putin’s aggressive shadow
Wednesday’s Copenhagen summit is a step toward turning the EU into a military power. But the bloc isn’t united and the risks are great.

The Supreme Court is slowly stripping Congress of its power. This isn’t just about Trump, precedents like this don’t vanish once he’s out of office. When the political winds shift, the same unchecked authority could just as easily be turned the other way. It’s a dangerous game.

Are we surprised that the ex-leader of Farage's Reform party in Wales was shilling for Russia while he was an MEP for Farage's Brexit party?

No.

We're really not.

Not even a little bit.
