Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

Proud to join the European Investment Fund, Quotanda, and leading institutions across Europe in a new €55 million InvestEU-backed initiative expanding access to higher education. A major milestone for the Hertie School and an important step toward more accessible student financing.

It was supposed to be curtains, or at least dominoes, for the EU. Then a Brexit "reset" because the dominoes had started to fall the wrong way, now there's a "tear the bloody red lines up" because it's a hopeless failed mess. All as foretold, and still just as full of self-interested opportunism. 👇

Watching Attenborough at 100 and reflecting on just how much the vast majority of Brits will absolutely hate and despise a Reform govt. It'd be contrary to their most basic values: care for each other; belief in protecting the planet and the future; collective responsibility; optimism; hope itself.

Worth noting that the polls, especially YouGov, have been spot on about this breakdown.

You wouldn’t marry someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t be friends with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t do business with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t work for someone who lied to u like this. You’d want nothing to do with someone who lied to u like this.

My thought on the moment is that he’s just a useful idiot being kept around, his information carefully curated, his health and cognitive decline managed by teams of professionals, in order to make obscene amounts of money for the world’s worst people, the human consequences be damned.

They call them "data centers" because “mass-surveillance centers” would be harder to sell.

'We limit screen time at home for the sake of children’s wellbeing, yet some schools are dramatically increasing it during the school day. It is almost impossible to enforce healthy boundaries when the very institutions educating our children are normalising constant device use.'

Europe is getting crushed on the social media battleground right now. Our democracies are wide open to attack because we rely on foreign tech. We cannot survive this unless we push through serious regulation and finally start building our own European platforms

“If you don’t think $400M of TAXPAYER money is a good investment to create a secure facility at the White House…” -Lindsey Graham We warned you that the taxpayers were going to pay for his ballroom.

The premise of the Reichstag Fire is to orchestrate a crisis that gives a public perception justification to do what you always wanted to do. To convince the public the extra security is necessary. Graham demanding $400m taxpayer $ for a ballroom 48 hrs after a crisis was staged is peak Nazi.
