Instead of trying to rein in Trump’s authoritarian urges, the justices have become his accomplices.

President Donald Trump’s new tax and spending law will likely force more than half the states to reduce payments to doctors and hospitals that treat Medicaid patients, a change critics warn will be particularly harmful to rural hospitals https://t.co/ruSRZZfpYx

1. The public doesn’t trust Reform to govern

Just 32% think Reform would improve how Britain is run, according to YouGov.

Even fewer (24%) believe a Farage government would govern competently.

TWO authenticated letters from @realDonaldTrump that sold at separate auctions. Compare with the signature on the Epstein birthday letter.

🚨 NEW: The Lib Dems have launched a “Balance the BBC” petition to address “wall to wall” Reform coverage

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Now that @ZackPolanski is the leader of a party with the same amount of MPs as Reform UK, but more councillors, he should get as much media coverage.

RT if you agree!

BIG MISTAKE BY DOZY DON!!!!! SPACE COMMAND BELONGS IN SAN FRANCISCO, NOT ALABAMA (A TOTAL DISASTER OF A STATE). EVERYONE KNOWS SAN FRANCISCO IS THE FUTURE HOME OF "STAR FLEET ACADEMY" ("LIVE LONG AND PROSPER"). THAT’S BECAUSE CALIFORNIA IS #1 FOR AEROSPACE, #1 FOR TECHNOLOGY, #1 FOR AI (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, VERY SMART PEOPLE, MUCH SMARTER THAN JD “JUST DANCE” VANCE, WHO HAS LOW IQ). SAN FRANCISCO IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD FOR ENGINEERING AND INNOVATION... ROCKETS, SOFTWARE, "THE STARTUPS.” ALABAMA’S GOVERNOR “KRAZY” KAY HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON. JUST LIKE LITTLE HANDS, SHE IS SLOW AND BURPS A LOT. SHE HAS DONE NOTHING FOR HER PEOPLE AND MADE THE STATE VERY UNSAFE!!! A MURDER RATE 190% HIGHER THAN CALIFORNIA’S. "SPACE COMMAND" MUST BE HERE IN CALIFORNIA, THE GREATEST STATE IN AMERICA, WITH ME, THE YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL GOVERNOR GAVIN C. NEWSOM. THE SLEEPY GOLFER IN THE WHITE HOUSE DIDN’T MOVE IT HERE. HE HAS NEWSOM DERANGEMENT SYNDROME (NDS). SAD!!! — GCN

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky.

So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵

[Louis Turner @LouisTurnerFal]

Very like people like Boris Johnson in the run up to the Brexit vote in the UK. It was all going to be seamless with no
Downside at all.

[Art Candee 🍿🥤 @ArtCandee]

No, Rick Scott, Donald Trump didn't run on promises of "a little disturbance."

He promised to "lower prices on day one."

He inherited a booming economy from Biden and he's running it into the ground.

Powerful from Zelensky

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Zelensky: I blocked the agreement with Trump on mineral rights as it does not protect Ukraine interests.

Then he goes diplomatic. It must be legally correct regarding investments and security guarantees. I don’t yet see in the document. 1/

Another Russian Air Force Il-76 heavy lifter is inbound to Latakia, Syria.

Likely participating in the Russian airlift from the airbase, as signs continue to increase that Russian forces are evacuating their key eastern Mediterranean holdings.

Zelenskyy never misses a diplomatic trick. He’s been treating Trump with great respect ever since election night. If you want Ukraine to come through, this was essential. Will it work? I think it could.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I had a good and productive trilateral meeting with President @realDonaldTrump and President @EmmanuelMacron at the Élysée Palace.

President Trump is, as always, resolute. I thank him. I also extend my gratitude to Emmanuel for organizing this important meeting.

We all want this war to end as soon as possible and in a just way. We spoke about our people, the situation on the ground, and a just peace.

We agreed to continue working together and keep in contact. Peace through strength is possible.

5/ As Clausewitz said, "War is merely the continuation of politics by other means." Jolani has flipped this—using politics to prepare for war. Years of diplomacy with historical enemies have paid off. In northern Hama, HTS secured peaceful takeovers and defections.
