Trump’s Board of Peace logo is basically the UN logo, except dipped in gold and edited so the world only includes America.

I’ve been reading Trump’s "Board of Peace Charter," and despite the name, this isn’t a multilateral institution, it’s a centralised structure built entirely around the authority of one person (Trump).

Full text: Charter of Trump’s Board of Peace
No mention of Gaza, which bolsters ToI's reporting that US also envisions panel helping resolve other conflicts worldwide; member countries must pay $1 billion for permanent spot

Trump confuses Greenland with Iceland, again. Says he wants "a piece of ice, cold and poorly located...it's a very small ask compared to what we have given them for many decades. The problem is NATO that we'll be there for them 100% but I'm not sure they'll be there for us."

For this post to be about the United States and not Russia shows that there has been an absolute diplomatic revolution.
I spoke to the Secretary-General of NATO, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Giorgia Meloni.
Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

If the figures we're getting out of Iran are in the right league, this weekend was, I think, one of the bloodiest state crackdowns of all time. People are talking 12,000-20,000 dead; for comparison Hungary in 1956 was about 2,500, Tiananmen - across country, in multiple cities - probably 1000+

I need to become less online because you shouldn’t find out about an illegal invasion because someone posted that it wasn’t very FIFA Global Peace Prizey of Trump to do that.

My kids woke up so excited this morning for the first night of Hannukah and now yet again we have a festival where I’m very conflicted about whether it’s safe to take them to synagogue to celebrate. Communities shouldn’t have to live like this.

A UK wealth tax sounds simple: "tax the super‑rich, fund public services"
But it's not.
Our 16,000 word deep‑dive shows revenues are fragile, it puts growth, investment and jobs at risk, and there's no revenue before 2029.
Here’s the evidence:
