"The US Supreme Court..has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160...cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances." A British King just rightly checked the entire Republican Party on the Floor of the House.

What the hell did Lafayette and Rochambeau support the American Revolutionary War for? For a king that imposes tariffs on his people to fund his ballroom?

Europe, too, can use economic leverage to its advantage. What changed the U.S. calculus on Greenland was the threat of retaliatory measures worth up to $93bn, making the markets jittery & Trump fold, writes @rosabalfour.bsky.social in the @theguardian.com. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

EU prime ministers and presidents are about to arrive at the emergency 🇪🇺 #EUCO summit on transatlantic relations. Europe's three camps - the hawks, appeasers and collaborators - are each trying to claim victory for Trump's retreat. Only one camp is right. My curtain-raiser:

Meloni was wrong, Macron was right

The Italian prime minister is trying to claim victory for Trump's retreat. But it was Europe showing its teeth through retaliation threats and troop deployment that spooked the US government.

Trump’s fixation on filching the island territory from Denmark may seem like the demented ravings of a mad king. But to a cohort of plutocrat weirdos, it makes perfect sense.
