For 80 years, America's strength has come from standing shoulder to shoulder with our allies. That partnership has kept Americans safe, kept our economy growing, and kept thugs like Vladimir Putin in check. European leaders spent months trying to flatter this president, and they're done playing along. As the White House teases a big new security deal, our closest friends are holding back. They've watched this president cozy up to Putin again and again, and they're asking whether America will keep its word. Every family in this country is safer when our alliances are strong. So are our servicemembers. Trust like that takes generations to build and only a few years to squander. I'll keep working in Congress to rebuild that trust and stand with the allies who have stood with us. https://t.co/1K5gB97Iyn

Black woman shares that she voted early in Georgia. “[Democrats] were hoping to leave the border open long enough, so that a large majority of foreigners could come in here & overcrowd us black people out.” “We have been played.” “We have been played for fools.” “We have been misused.” “We have been abused by the democrats.” “I went red all the way.” TikTok: @ geebabyteaup3

🚨🚨🚨EXCL Catherine West speaks to the New Statesman about her leadership bid, including: Party leadership begged her to delay this move until Tuesday, after the PM’s reset speech On triggering a contest: “I haven't actually even looked at the rules because I don't actually want to do this” She says she has been “inundated” with support from MPs but “I haven't actually looked at who they are” Dismisses anger from leadership camps that were blindsided: “some people will be upset with me because of the risk, because some of them had a plan about, you know, in six months time, we're gonna do this, and then we're gonna do that. Sorry, that's just too late.” Says Andy Burnham cannot be PM: “I'm sorry for people who had a big plan about particular candidates who one day will be, you know, an MP and all that sort of thing… I really like Andy, but he's not here on the spot, so he can't really do it” She says she is both a “lone wolf” and a “stalking horse” but that: “You know what sometimes happens to stalking horses? They become the candidate” She will not back down until other candidates publicly announce - not private assurances or backroom deals: “They've got to be open, they need to be upfront like me.” Thinks next PM could be an unknown MP and even one from the 2024 intake - thinks her shock move could trigger a more interesting contest A friend losing her council seat was part of her reason for going now

The really hilarious thing about this is it completely sidelines Andy Burnham & Angela Rayner... & given that Wes Streeting *has no chance* of becoming PM, that's going to be a huge problem for whoever ends up leading. And none of those 3 will want to take over in Opposition
