For years I’ve noted that that the US is better suited to campaigning than for governing. Here’s a perfect example: the last election was 8 months ago, the midterms are not for another 16 months, but @GavinNewsom is campaigning for the 2028 Democratic nomination in South Carolina.

I might well be baking in the sun on Cape Cod but I’d much rather be in #Cardiff for the #OASISLIVE2025 gig

Biden claims he's 'getting calls' from European leaders wanting him to 'get engaged' in the Trump era? He was barely engaged in the #Biden era! .

Nice to see @oasis have taken a new picture of Berwick Street in London for the cover of (What’s The Story) Morning Glory’s 30th anniversary release to include London’s best record store, @SisterRayStore

This forms the central thesis of my forthcoming book explaining Trump, the Madman Theory, and strategic ambiguity.
The White House says Trump practices “purposeful strategic ambiguity” - what does that even mean?.Good story by @alexbward

Apparently the Democratic leadership suddenly believe in reading legislation BEFORE they pass it. This is quite the turnaround. Whatever changed their stance?.

I’ve written 2 books on @BillClinton & did a PhD on his policies but I no longer recognize him. He built his entire career refuting the politics of the old left and now he’s openly endorsing a self proclaimed socialist.
Congratulations @ZohranKMamdani on your victory in yesterday’s primary election and a well-run campaign. I’m wishing you much success in November and beyond as you work to bring New Yorkers together to tackle the city’s challenges and shape a stronger, fairer future.

Despairing at the news that we have lost @zacharyjacobson In a world where far too few people are supportive and kind, he was both. He wrote beautifully, cared deeply, fought courageously, and will be sorely missed by all of us lucky enough to have known him.

The very worst thing about landing back at Logan Airport is hearing @maura_healey and @MayorWu patronising you on the skywalk as you try to find an uber to dodge all the in-necessary bike lanes back to the city.

As forecast 3 days ago….
The airborne refueling aircraft have already been deployed. Keep an eye out for the B2 Stealth aircraft. If they deploy it will be with one intent: to launch the bunker-busters against the remaining nuclear facility at #Fordow.
