Ha, Scott didn’t get the joke….
Bessent: “Trump and Xi Jinping both have great respect for each other.

“In Xi Jinping’s eyes, Donald Trump is a different kind of leader than he has seen in the past.”

I don’t think Xi means that in the way you think he does, Scott.

Every response from Republicans when you asked them about one of Trump's latest abuses of power is to lie about Joe Biden. bsky.app/profile/atru...
KARL: Do you support Trump banning news organizations because he doesn't like what they're reporting?

SCALISE: Look, Biden removed the press credentials from 400 agencies

KARL: That's not true. 400 reporters who had credentials didn't reapply. They weren't banned from the WH. That did not happen.

With the worst bit being that Americans dumb decision has damaged everyone across the world (apart from the Russia)
I said it at the time (and before!), but I truly believe that American voters electing Donald Trump for a second term in 2024 was the dumbest and most self-harming choice made by an electorate in the history of humanity

REMINDER: Trump has overseen a larger fall in coal-fired power than any other US president

(ie, other things equal, the EPA repealing power-plant CO2 rules means more coal power,…but other things are not equal, because most coal plants are old and expensive)

The kind of facts that need to be repeated more loudly, and more often….
Sikorski: “The Council of Baltic Sea States, without the rest of Europe and NATO, has a bigger GDP than Russia and a bigger peacetime defence budget than Russia's wartime budget.

“Russia has no hope of winning against us.”

A dark blizzard of disinformation is warping the public’s perception of our great city.

But we know the truth: our homicide rate is lower than every major US city, neighbourhood crimes are down and we’ve been ranked #1 city in the world 11 years in a row.

Seeing lots of people pronouncing the latest actions of the UK far right (Dover, Portsmouth, Glasgow) as indicating that we are now doomed to a fascist future. I could not disagree more. The feeling of this being a broken country is exactly what the far right seeks to create. But we CAN push back.

A very good question…..
On the JLP / Reform polling scandal - and the papers that are implicated:

"The polls are not presented as something specially created for this one (fake) rich family. How many other polls were published in similar circumstances, but involving real [secret funders] rather than fake ones?"
Pollsters and the media also have questions to answer after the Reform donations story
There are questions for the polling industry and the media following the Channel 4 broadcast about Reform.

Silver linings

“China’s carbon dioxide emissions fell by 1% after the outbreak of the US-Israeli war on Iran, thanks to a sharp reduction in oil consumption and a steady rise in the use of electric vehicles and public transport, analysis shows.”

Not sure if the numbers in this post are true or not…but the sentiment surely is.

Huge energy & emissions savings to be made from reduced shipping as we replace fossil fuels with local renewable energy sources.
FUN FACT

If we switched to all renewable energy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall almost in half, slashing global CO2 emissions. Because those ships are JUST carrying coal, oil and gas.
