Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

A powerful speech on the Nobel Peace Prize but I suspect it will send Trump into a frenzy today. Especially the pointed remarks about democracy and integrity.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

Not sure who needs to hear this but your “physical” isn’t “annual” if you need it twice in six months.

Also, if you're "in bed with flu", it's almost certainly Covid.

US deports hundreds of Venezuelans "despite" court order.
Meaning, of course: "in breach of".
On the face of it, it looks like there is now a full constitutional crisis in United States, in that the executive is now freely ignoring court orders.

It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

Did J.D. Vance expect Europeans to take this eyewash seriously?
Today the US vice president vented at European leaders, telling them the biggest threat to their security was “from within,” rather than from China and Russia.

Free speech "is in retreat" in Britain, says JD Vance, who is part of a Government which is now targeting critical news organisations with politically-motivated investigations, while banning others from the White House for the crime of referring to the Gulf of Mexico by its actual name

European leaders are uniting against Vance’s “weird” speech to them where he attacked Europe and said “There’s a new sheriff in town.”
These little MAGATS don’t realise that outside America’s borders everybody laughs at their embarrassing swaggering and strutting.

Zelensky is being forced to plead with Trump that his own country, which has spent so much blood and endured so much horror, is allowed to be at the negotiating table about its own future. That's where we're at- a return of great power politics.

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945.
The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.

You think it can’t get any worse. But it will. Every day. Until enough GOP members decide to pushback (no sign so far); Supreme Court backs the constitution (not hopeful); markets crash; or American voters rise up.
