Gordon Brown compelling, persuasive and principled on R4 Today this morning and gosh I miss that.

The god of small things: celebrating Arvo Pärt at 90 The Estonian composer’s music of simplicity, spirituality – and silence – is universally appealing and enduringly rewarding. We pay tribute ahead of his milestone birthday

The god of small things: celebrating Arvo Pärt at 90

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

The Remoaner cranks are finally giving up Gina Miller’s True and Fair party has been dissolved – let’s finally make the most of Brexit’s opportunities

This is absolutely evil from @thetelegraph.bsky.social seeing what Gina miller has and is going through, and as well we Rejoiners are not giving up!!

Yep.

I’m hopeful that he’ll learn something from the market rebounding when he paused tariffs, but the fact is that he’ll probably only learn how easy it is to manipulate the market.

I didn’t want this to happen.

I voted for the smart black lady.

Want to know how Trump gets in? Just look at the coverage of Le Pen The press takes a leading role destroying the rule of law

Great piece in true Ian Dunt style re the way Marine Le Pen’s illegal actions are being reported

The truth of the Marine Le Pen story is simple. She fu*ked around. She got found out

It was not an administrative error. It was systematic, organised embezzlement. It was corruption, pure and simple

The Department of Government Efficiency, for example

If you’ve wondered if anyone is going to stand up for you in the middle of this coup, Senator Corey Booker is doing it right now along with help from Murphy, Warnock, Warren and others.

Support him with your views and your dollars.

If Trump was President in 1940

Every single one of the Trump supporters sounds like a domestic abuser. "You should've let him hit you, you shouldn't have complained in public, you're never grateful, you never say thank you."

No point engaging in further rhetoric. The truth of the matter is now plain to see. America has sided with Russia and against Ukraine. It is on the side of tyranny. The fundamental questions from this point out are practical, not political.

Trump and the GOP are counting on Democrats to play by the old rules while they bulldoze democracy. It's time to up your game and start using gorilla tactics to gum up the works and slow down this coup! I'm one of your constituents. Do EVERYTHING in your power to stop this nonsense!

Pieter Breughel's The Triumph of Death: an army of skeletons ravages an apocalyptic landscape, putting people to death in a variety of ways

Well, to begin with today: 21 years ago, Facebook was founded. And everything’s been great ever since.

As far as I can see, the team at @wired.com is doing best journalism in the USA right now.

Congressman Jamie Raskin: "We don't have a fourth branch of government called Elon Musk. And that's going to become real clear." We need all @housedemocrats.bsky.social to be like Rep Raskin. Speak out and act!

At the heart of Canadian national memory is the awareness that Canadians twice came to the UK's aid in world wars years before the Americans showed up.

It will not be forgottem if the Brits now hide in a corner and say nothing when Canada faces existential threats.

Trump's tariffs = politics-by-other-means - macroeconomically senseless but politically potent. Domestically, they furnish him with an income stream independent of Congress. They enable him also to blackmail Mexico (Canada) to accept expelled migrants (to become the 51st state!)

Would like to have heard much more just now from @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social on #bbcwato #wato

Hadn’t cottoned on before that the tariffs are a way for #felontrump to avoid Congress.
