They're made for each other. Under Trump, the US is no longer an ally.
Will the UK stand up to the bully or become its servile lackey?

The third paragraph reads as if the Russians wrote it. Maybe they did. In any event, it is an atrociously big lie; 1984-grade, as Aaron Rupar rightly says.

War is peace. Russia is fully committed to peace in Ukraine.
Over the last two days in Florida, the Russian Special Envoy Kirill Dmitriev held productive and constructive meetings with the American delegation to advance President Trump’s peace plan on Ukraine. The American delegation included Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and White House staff member Josh Gruenbaum. Russia remains fully committed to achieving peace in Ukraine. Russia highly values the efforts and support of the United States to resolve the Ukrainian conflict and re-establish global security.

Thanks @deutschewelle.dw.com for including me in yesterday’s debate on Europe’s strengths - at a time of renewed attacks by Trump.
We could all agree that Trump is wrong - and that Europe needs to act in response to this new world

Letter to the FT that stingingly sums up Brexit and the shit creek we now find ourselves in.
A terrible idea (naive, prejudiced and uninformed) that has deeply divided us and left us poorer and less secure… but unwilling to face up to the damage we’ve done to ourselves. While the EU moves on.
FINANCIAL TIMES I was amused - and saddened - to read the latest instalment of the Brexiters' excuses for the poor performance over recent years of the UK economy and the UK's politics. In "Implementation of Brexit became a business fiasco" (Markets Insight, December 19), Paul Marshall acknowledges the cost of the UK's decision to leave the EU. But rather than acknowledge that his analysis was wrong - cutting ties with your biggest trading partner is never a good idea - Marshall blames bad implementation, and the fact that the EU didn't cut the UK some slack. Implementation of Brexit by the UK has indeed been poor, but that's a direct consequence of the political crisis that everyone should have expected following such a major decision on the back of one simple 52/48 referendum vote at the conclusion of a mind-bogglingly uninformed debate by both sides. That includes the Brexiters' naive insistence that the EU would bend to UK demands and grant it all sorts of privileges not enjoyed by others. So, the roughly 8 per cent of GDP loss in UK output since the Brexit decision in 2016 is easily explained by three perfectly predictable factors: it was a bad economic decision; it has split UK society politically; and the EU27 has moved on. It's time for those who led the UK down this disastrous path to stand up and acknowledge their wrong analysis and naive understanding of Europe. Until that happens, how can one even hope that the UK will begin to heal?

Time for Patel to answer for his lies.
Screenshot of a post on X by “Republicans against Trump” (@RpsAgainstTrump) stating: “So Kash Patel lied under oath. That’s a crime.” The post quotes Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25), who claims Kash Patel testified earlier in the year that internal files contained no credible information that Epstein trafficked young women to anyone other than himself, and says DOJ later released internal emails referring to “10 co-conspirators.” Below the quoted text is a video thumbnail showing a man speaking at a hearing and a partially visible document with redactions.

Pope Leo calls for kindness to strangers and the poor in Christmas message
Refusing to help those in need is tantamount to rejecting God himself, says pontiff during Christmas Eve mass Pope Leo has told Christians that the Christmas story should remind them of their duty to help the poor and strangers. In his Christmas Eve sermon, the pope said the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn showed followers that refusing to help those in need was tantamount to rejecting God himself.

NEW: last night, the US govt launched an assault on the ‘global censorship industrial complex’, aka European tech researchers/campaigners.

It’s a deeply chilling move & speaks as to why we need international solidarity more than ever.

Schumer: The law was written very clearly, and it did not allow all these redactions—this blacking out of everything. It did not say you can dribble them out over a period of months. These guys are full of shit. They should simply release it all now.

Carol of the Bells (Ukrainian Shchedryk) performed by a Swedish choir in Ukrainian.

The choir is conducted by a Ukrainian lady, the pianist and several young participants are also from Ukraine, and the rest of the choir learned Shchedryk in Ukrainian.

Beautiful!
