The Trump administration is preparing to impose sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court, according to officials
The move would ramp up the Trump administration’s attack on the court, cutting it off from much of the global financial system.

You could make a similar argument about political progress, too.
So many centuries of revolutionary ideologies promising to bring eternal peace, and what really worked for Europe was Brussels bureaucracy.

Certain kinds of smart people tend to have a "sexy apocalypse" problem when it comes to thinking about risk. E.g. skynet turning everyone in paperclips, while bad, is also *kind of cool and fun* at the same time. Where the reality is that most actual disasters are both stupid and disappointing.

Trump is going to ensure that US automakers fall fatally behind in the EV race, which will inevitably catch up to them, at which point we'll be asked to bail them out again. Nothing is more predictable.
Sure there's no transition? Check out global new car and light truck sales by powertrain. ICE vehicles have lost 1/3 of unit sales in the past decade. Dramatic decline, and quite obviously not about to reverse. Source: iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/a096b...

Trofimov is correct. A third to a quarter of the firepower expended by the US in Iran, transferred to Ukraine, would have meant a Russian defeat in 2024-25. The mistake is both Biden's and Trump's.

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025.

I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

Vlaams minister van Erfgoed Ben Weyts (N-VA) besliste om ruim de helft van het cultuurhistorisch landschap rond Fort Napoleon in Oostende niet langer te beschermen. De bescherming was al langer een doorn in het oog van recent veroordeelde bouwondernemer Versluys Groep.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

Look if you think it’s fine for Trump to corruptly get a red card revoked (or “suspended”) bc FIFA is already corrupt, maybe you understand the MAGA mindset better than you think. “All politicians are corrupt so it’s ok for Trump to be corrupt” is a very common maga rationalization

The embarrassment of celebrating Trump’s corruption and cheating at the World Cup.
Jeffries telling the world the Democratic Party also supports corruption at the world stage. Pathetic.
