Marco Rubio on China:

China wants to become the most powerful country in the world, and they want to do so at our expense.

Obviously, we are Americans; we're not going to allow that to happen.

At the same time, we are the two most powerful economies in the world, probably the two most powerful militaries in the world, although ours is further along than theirs, but nonetheless.

And I think it's important for two big countries like this—the two most powerful countries in the world—to have a relationship, to have the ability to speak to one another, and try to de-conflict where possible because it could lead to some really bad things.

The foundation of that is the relationship that President Trump has with President Xi, which is a relationship of mutual respect, and they get along, and that really is important that our two presidents can speak to one another.

And it's okay. It's—I think it's almost irresponsible, by the way—to not have direct communications with the Chinese. We want stability in our relationship.

The most misinformation is peddled by legacy media. Not by reels. And young people are much smarter and more informed than we give them credit for. They cut through the BS. This patronising approach needs to stop.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma says his gov't is building a 5-star @Hyatt Hotel on gov't land.

Hyatt hotels say they are not even involved. Villagers say it's their land.

Assam gov't has arrested, the activist supporting villagers, Pranab Doley under the draconian National Security Act after he got bail in another police case hoisted against him.

When court made scathing remarks in that case giving bail, Assam gov't picked him up under NSA.

NSA permits gov't to detain someone for up to 1 year without charges.

@yield82 and @AnganaCk reveal the NSA orders and the records behind the dubious 5-star hotel case.

Parents who are forcing their children to post humiliating apologies online run the risk of dying hated and humiliated…please do not do this to our children. Let them live; let them form their views.

[Rohini Singh @rohini_sgh]

Again, Noida channel anchors, the IT cell and their affiliates seem convinced they can discredit Gen Z by circulating videos of student leaders partying after Pradhan’s resignation. But to many young people, grabbing a cold coffee, partying or unwinding isn’t a moral failing. A generation that can wear a lathi charge as a badge of honour also doesn’t believe activism requires perennial performative misery. They can protest fiercely, laugh loudly and celebrate victories- all at the same time. That isn’t hypocrisy. It’s their worldview. Just not a Victorian one like that of Noida anchors.

Men and women of law, you will never hear a better exposition of the Constitution than this.

[Sakshi Joshi @sakshijoshii]

It’s proven…
Independent media is the real ‘Mainstream Media’ today

In a protest where Noida channels weren’t involved, rather shooed away, the voice reached masses, to the world, and resignation happened for the first time in this government.

So Noida channels… you are all irrelevant now.

Extremely disappointing to see new US tariffs on New Zealand and 59 other countries.

The US investigation did not provide meaningful evidence to support claims in relation to forced labour. Tariffs are not the way - they drive up costs and uncertainty for businesses.

That’s why we’re pursuing trade agreements all over the world - to provide our exporters with security and keep growing our economy.

This is utterly appalling. Even in the days of the JP Movement leading up to the Emergency, there was no bar by the @UnivofDelhi on students joining any of his protests, and a couple of members of my Union Cabinet at St Stephen’s, including the late Chandan Mitra, openly did so.

If one of India’s foremost public universities is allowed to threaten its students and faculty with significant consequences if they attend a protest, it has a chilling effect on democratic speech and expression. Most DU students are not so privileged as to ignore such a sternly-worded warning without fearing that their academic or professional prospects might suffer if they attended the protest.

A university is meant to teach critical thinking and independent assessment of issues, not to stifle these very qualities. Shame on those at the @UnivofDelhi who saw fit to issue such a tweet. They are unworthy of holding any position at an institution of higher learning in a democracy.

The PELLET GUN story that has shaken up the political class and is likely to echo in Parliament : Good to see that tv news can still do stories that make an impact. Well done @vijaita of @the_hindu who was first to report this. And @InkSleuth of @IndiaToday who nailed it with documents. Asli Journalism zinda hai! 👍 https://t.co/rH8hTIiFs3

We are relieved and grateful that Sonam sir has ended his hunger strike after 26 days.

Thank you, sir, for your extraordinary courage and sacrifice. By putting your own life on the line, you awakened the conscience of an entire nation. Your life is far too precious to this country.

The Cockroach Janta Party’s peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar will continue until Dharmendra Pradhan resigns.
