I'll take the opportunity to put in another plug for the British election night tradition of having the candidates in each constituency gather together to hear the results announced. Basically the political equivalent of the hockey handshake lineup.

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE

Alaskans don’t need any help voting for their preferred candidates, and the State of Alaska has already handled this by clearly distinguishing the candidates on this year’s ballot. The Department of Justice should never have filed this lawsuit.

What’s going on between Trump and Putin? Why are they calling each other humanitarians? I explain why that’s the the point and the flattening of language and words under authoritarians.

🔴 Behind me, you can see Oleshky: the town no one wanted to hear about nine months ago.
Now, the world knows but the ordeal is not over.
The next week ceasefire will be used for a “press tour” to whitewash Russia's war crimes.
Don't fall for Russian propaganda.
When the world is run by asshole criminals, everyone suffers. All you can do is be kind. This isn't going to be pretty.
Dangerous happenings right now in #Czech. Government is making serious move to kill free, independent #Media. #democracy under threat

At a time when it’s more important than ever for Canadians to believe in their country I find it mind-boggling that the Carney government is slashing the LAC's budget

El- Sayed: "Here‘s the thing about it – no matter who you are, how you love, how you pray, how you identify, where you are from, it just should not be this hard.
Should not be this hard to afford a second bag of groceries. Should not be this hard to fill up your tank. Should not be this hard to afford a home. Not be this hard to see a doctor. Should not be this hard to pay your taxes and know that that money will be spent on you and your kids rather than dropping a bomb on somebody else and their kids. Should not be this hard.
Shouldn‘t be this hard to keep our money here. Spend it on roads and bridges here, build our schools here, provide healthcare here. Shouldn‘t be this hard. Shouldn‘t be this hard."
