Between now and Dec 21 Saturn & Jupiter approach each other on the sky until a mere tenth of a degree separates them. Last time this happened Galileo was alive.

This story is bonkers. It claims Chinese embassy officials beat up a Taiwanese diplomat in Fiji at Taiwan National Day celebrations. The diplomat "required hospital treatment." Police were called but the Chinese officials claimed diplomatic immunity

WATCH: Senator @amyklobuchar just asked Judge Barrett whether it's illegal under federal law to intimidate voters at the polls.

Barrett refused to answer. Then Klobuchar read her the law. Astonishing.

2) The UK is a rule-of-law state, and attempting to legislate domestically to override international law would be an incredibly dangerous step and bound to lead to conflict with the judiciary. It would also hugely damage our standing on the world stage.

At least 40% of the world’s 7.6bn people will probably become infected with covid-19, writes Yale professor Nicholas Christakis https://t.co/b160guKr0m

Let's not forget...Pew Research found that of the fewer than 50 million US adults on Twitter only 6% of those Twitter users account for 73% of tweets about national politics. That means fewer than 1% of Americans are frequently weighing in about politics on this platform.

Austria declares Russian diplomat PNG over spying at a Hi-Tech Austrian company for years. This is the first time Austria expels a Russian diplomat; it refrained from joining rest of EU in the wake of Skripal.

Trump is, in effect, leading in swing states. That does NOT portend well for November.

Nostalgia for European colonialism was the plot twist that I didn’t see the script writers of 2020 pulling off. A genius move.

A fascinating and worrying meeting with Mr Kono Taro, the impressive Japanese Defence minister. He outlined China’s extraordinary military build up, and said it must now be seen as an expansionary power. Japan and the UK should have closer ties. Tks for organising @TomTugendhat
