The Senate appears to be on the verge of voting to dissolve the United States of America as a community united under the rule of law as we used to know it...
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayBooker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
Before you despair about European media, read Simon's @nixonsimon.bsky.social consistently superb weekly commentary.

Why are British pro-Europeans and anti-Faragistes treating the by-election as a joke by talking up Count Binface when there is a serious pro-European candidate on the ballot? My latest open.substack.com/pub/nixons/p...
This piece by @nixonsimon.bsky.social is excellent on this crisis, the exploitation (creation?) of it by populists & the failure of European govts to make a considered & cohesive response. open.substack.com/pub/nixons/p...

Events of the past few days in Europe have been some of the most disturbing in many years - and not for the reasons given by much of the mainstream media. My latest open.substack.com/pub/nixons/p...
"at a time when Europe is under sustained hybrid attack in multiple dimensions from multiple actors, European leaders have chosen to respond (.) not with solidarity and restraint, but with partisan politics that only underlines their fragmentation and weakness"

In all the excitement over Binface I'd missed that there's a Rejoin EU party candidate in the Clacton by-election, John Stevens. Here's hoping he gets more publicity before the 13th. @nixonsimon.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/nixons/p...

"European leaders have chosen to respond to an episode that raises profound questions about the security and stability of the continent not with solidarity and restraint, but with partisan politics that only underlines their fragmentation and weakness and gives succour to the pan-European far right"

I see the Tories are jumping on the Cueta provocation to trumpet their policy of leaving the ECHR. Here’s my post from earlier in the week as to why that would be a recipe for chaos, both internationally and domestically
Simon Nixon@nixonsimon.bsky.social · last wk.Not enough attention has been paid to just how destructive Kemi Badenoch’s plan to withdraw from the ECHR would be. It wouldn’t just be internationally damaging but would have profound domestic consequences too. My latest open.substack.com/pub/nixons/p...

Oil futures are once again spiking so I figure we're about 24 hours away from Axios reporting that a peace deal is imminent.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Fox correspondent: "President Trump tells Fox News about Iran, 'We are going to beat the f**king s**t out of them.' He went on to say, 'We'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating.'"
The biggrst mistake would be to treat recent extreme weather events as a series of misfortunes rather than a single systemic threat. My latest foe @euractiv.com on the emerging climate sovereign doom loop www.euractiv.com/opinion/euro...

The fact that the right-wing press and its political pals are having to make up policies that Burnham hasn't even proposed yet just so they can feign horror, tells us something They are struggling so far
How Europeans can limit their vulnerability to US and Chinese coercion is a defining challenge of our times. I don't think tht governments or markets have internalised the costs of the shift to a new paradigm that prioritises resilience over efficiency. My latest open.substack.com/pub/nixons/p...

I want there to be relatively more normal, sane conservatives, but the people who are supposed to be that can’t stop doing demented stuff either.

The market has reacted to reports that Trump won’t escalate against Iran “for now” as evidence of another TACO. But no matter how desperate Trump is to escape his quagmire, there are three reasons to think he will end up getting drawn in deeper. My latest open.substack.com/pub/nixons/p...
