Trump: He was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. It was pretty good. Thank you to Elon

Just reflexively oppositional, YOU NEGOTIATED THIS DEAL! If you'd not held the election when you did, Rishi would have signed it. YOU WERE IN THE FOREIGN OFFICE AT THE TIME.
This is (1) disgraceful at a moment of national danger, (2) laughably unserious and (3) deeply unwise when the President is obviously becoming incapacitated and the most unpopular person in the whole UK. Utterly disqualifying.

Other than completely caving to Trump, there is no 'good way' to deal with him. He will go ballistic if he doesn't get 100% his own way.
Meanwhile, no one's talking about those files, so Trump's happy.

It is worth reading it: it grants extraordinary powers to the Chairman, such as authoritative interpretation, setting up subsidiary bodies, adopting resolutions. An authoritarian international Charter.

Whatever you think of the policy itself, and I'm a critic, today's press conference demonstrates two things:
Journalists can rise to the occasion and do their jobs properly;
Starmer is a person of principle who operates like the leader of a democracy
We should not take these two points for granted

Good to hear Starmer restating our commitment to international law
But his suggestion of a negotiated solution feels vague and unrealistic
The whole presentation underlines our weakness outside the EU

This is a huge problem: humans are not wired to cope with this daily torrent of disgust & dismay. It's exhausting & unbalancing.
It's tempting just to switch off the news. But that surrenders the political arena - & the lives of all those it affects - to the hooligans & vandals who are trashing it.

I'm perfectly aware this is by far not the worst thing he's done, but Trump's constant presence - day after day after day - in the lives and headspaces of hundreds of millions of people (billions?), in the US and outside, is so taxing. Every morning, we wake up and have to think about this asshole.

In a nod to Trump’s efforts on Ukraine, Starmer says he recognises the US president’s role in pushing for ceasefire there – as he says “we will work closely with the United States, Ukraine and our other allies to apply pressure where it belongs: on Putin.”
In his strongest criticism of Trump yet, Starmer goes on to say:
A trade war is in no one’s interest, and my job is always to act in the UK’s national interest. Continue reading...

one of the best things about this whole nightmare has been watching a whole bunch of folks who have clearly never been seriously political in their lives standing up and going, no, absolutely the fuck not, we’re not letting this happen
ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.
