What analysis like this misses is the most obvious point: laws don't matter in an autocracy and that's where we are headed

It feels not everyone realises what just happened, so let me bring you up to speed: Ukraine just hit a very deep seated - more than 870 miles away (!)- Russian missile factory producing the infamous Oreshnkik intercontinental nuclear-capable missile Russia is constantly threatening Ukraine with.

Chyron of the day

It is pretty telling that it comes as something of a surprise that the Supreme Court sided with the Constitution over Trump.

A popular app in Denmark identifies American products so that Danes know not to buy them www.independent.co.uk/tech/us-boyc...

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

💥Since last July, Viktor Orbán’s odds of winning Hungary’s election fell from 62% to 37% on Polymarket, while opposition leader Péter Magyar’s jumped from 38% to 59%. Big moves today after a key Orbán minister admitted they are indeed trailing by as much as 10 points in the polls.

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage. I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong. Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole. Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you... (Photos AP)

Free piece just released. Marco Rubio called on tolerant, democratic, liberal Europe to destroy itself and embrace a Trump-like future. He received a standing ovation and we are told some people are reassured. If so, Europe will deserve everything coming its way. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Did #Rubio also mention that the US civilization is at risk from loss of freedom, democracy, human rights, healthcare and economic well-being?

This is blackout poetry to me

‪Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think we should be taking scientific advice from a demented pedophile who tried to redraw a hurricane chart with a sharpie.

The US disappeared as an aid donor to Ukraine in 2025 as Europe filled the gap. European support rose 67%, ensuring a stable amount of military and humanitarian aid as Ukraine held back the Russian threat. Actions matter more than words. Thank you, Europe, for your actions.💙💛

This may become a defining photo of our time.

If Vance isn’t able to attend an Olympic event without an entourage of armored vehicles that looks like he just landed at Normandy in 1944, maybe he shouldn’t go.

Enemies of Europe from the Kremlin to Silicon Valley oligarchs spend billions fueling anti-EU movements. Why? Because a unified bloc of 450 million people with strong regulations is their kryptonite. They can bully individual nations but can't bully a united Europe

Not only did they bring a small private army, but among the waste of taxpayer money was BRINGING A FULL PLANE OF FOOD. To *Italy*.

In our version of The Emperor’s New Clothes- no one says a peep but they all start taking off their clothes.

The story here is not the unsurprising revelation of Trump team contact with hostile foreign intelligence (normalisation of treason?), but rather the way in which the whistleblower report of same has been covered up.
