He once mocked a crying cop. Now he may run the nation’s largest police force.

Zohran Mamdani will face a gauntlet of political pitfalls should he win the NYC mayoral race and find himself at the helm of the NYPD.

While every other country held out, knowing that Trump was desperate, Starmer and the UK, reflecting the decline of the country and Starmer's own ineptitude, conceded. While Starmer thinks this will help him politically, ironically, it is his very embrace of Trump and his capitulation here that

Trump, to his credit, has successfully anchored everyone, so that a total capitulation by the UK, when the US were actually desperate, is being sold by people as some sort of success.
The DST STAYS? That is an astonishing negotiating success.

Two leaders desperate for a deal, but Trump and co completely owned the UK
May 8, 2025 at 3:00 PM
This is it. Even many moderate Americans think Trump is right, he’s just being a bit overly aggressive.
When you read stories about the sheer number of folk in the US who have believed Trump's lie that the US has been badly treated by globalisation... backed up by some academics who should know better (isn't that always the case?)

Not much focus on the fact, that despite all the bravado, Art of the Deal, "i can stop the war in one day", Trumps promises of peace in the Middle East and Ukraine have utterly failed. In fact, I would say his policies have decreased the likelihood of peace.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis.

The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall.

It makes no sense for China to devalue. How much would they have to devalue to adjust for 145% tariffs? And Trump could just increase the tariffs. And it would kill domestic demand and confidence, which is exactly what they don’t want to do. They’re also not scared of the US.
Only one question matters now: "Why has China not devalued?" US tariffs have reached blistering levels and are a big negative shock on China's economy. The only reason I can think of is that China is scared of Trump. Devaluation will escalate the trade war further. China is afraid of doing that...

Trump’s new tariffs apply to every country in the Earth. But Russia.

obscene lying from Stephen Miller on Fox News as he claims the economy was in "depression" thanks to Biden when Trump took office (the American economy was in fact the envy of the world three months ago ... )

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me.

Trump Admin Nixed Contract Helping Kidnapped Ukrainian Kids: Sources
The fate of abducted Ukrainian children is a white-hot issue for peace negotiations—and it looks like the State Department may have just undercut the cause.

A second German tourist is being held in a detention centre after having her Visa revoked by the U.S.

It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks.

The U.S. is not a safe place to travel anymore

Trump just blamed Ukraine outright for Russia’s invasion. ‘You shoulda never started it,’ he said. What a lie, a Russian lie—from the President of the US.

We are in “Ukraine being thrown under the bus” territory. I hope I'm wrong. I don't wish to be alarmist. But the readout from today's US/Russia talks in Riyadh and the trajectory they imply for Ukraine, and for Europe, is deeply, deeply worrying
