Tom was, all round, a scholar and a gent. My dad envied his quietly perfect artist’s wardrobe and treasured his friendship. As did I.

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

With his ultimatum that Ukraine surrender to Russia, Trump finally wins a prize:

Whether it's Barack Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference or Donald Trump calling for the execution of Democrats, both presidents engaged in norm-busting behavior.

Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

It's interesting to see how one's country is discussed abroad, but this take is very bad. If anything, the Frederiksen government is struggling with voters for being too soft on migration. Sure, Copenhagen gets a left leaning mayor, but many other communities moved to the right.
Denmark, voters punish PM Frederiksen’s Social Democrats shift to the right in local elections
Weighing on the disappointing SD result are the intransigent positions on immigration taken by the chief executive. And so Copenhagen goes to the left for the first time in over a century

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

There have been a lot of disgusting and surreal moments in the Oval Office over the last 10 months that disgrace the United States, but Trump publicly dismissing the brutal assassination of a Washington Post journalist as insignificant and blowing smoke up the ass of a despotic butcher is up there

The “Oops!” defense to murder remains wildly unpopular in criminal courts.

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
