As world leaders brace themselves for another potential Trump presidency, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is quickly re-establishing the UK's global influence
AOC lays out the stakes In an hour-long live-stream, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) attempts to lay out the plusses and minuses of Democrats swapping out their presidential candidate (Joe Biden) this late in the election season. The election isn’t in November, she reminds viewers, it’s in September when the first ballots go out. The end of September to early October. She’s not seeing Beltway influencers gaming out the consequences of swapping out a presidential candidate without closely examining their watches and their calendars. Making a radical decision like this based on July polling, she reminds viewers, is unwise. She’s won elections where polling showed her down by double digits. An open convention at this point is convention is “crazy.” People considering one are not gaming out how that would play out. I’ve said repeatedly here to those who say, “Joe needs to go,” get back to me with a candidate and a plan and we’ll talk. AOC is in some of the rooms where these discussions among leading Democrats take place. When she asks the “Joe needs to go” faction for their plan, she gets back blank stares.
The hills across the valley of the Ebro were long and white.
“They look like white elephants,” said the girl.
“Whatever,” shouted the man, not bothering to look up. “Waitress,” he shouted to the señorita behind the bar, “nueve cervezas.” He thought that “nueve” meant “two” in Spanish.
“Do you think things will be the same when… Sorry. The hills just moved.”
“Don’t be silly. Hills don’t move,” he shouted.
“I know hills don’t move. That’s why I was so surprised. Look for yourself.”
The man turned to face the hills. “Jesus Christ!” he shouted. “Those are elephants!”
“White elephants,” said the girl, vindicated. “That’s what I said.”
“And not just elephants! Elephants the size of hills! God help us all! Also, they’re white.”
“I just said that.”
“Nueve cervezas,” said the waitress. She was carrying a tray full of beers.
“Señorita,” said the girl. She pointed toward the horizon. “Look! Giant elephants!”
The waitress turned her head. “Jesus fucking Christ!” she exclaimed. She dropped the tray on the table and ran back into the bar.
“I’m going to shoot them,” shouted the man.

Modern day Brian Eno is dancing to a Fela Kuti track playing from YouTube at his office desk. The writer Paul Morley is vox-popping members of the 1990s British public about who exactly is Brian Eno.

Not that they require fascism, but they’re OK with it:
David Zaslav, the CEO of CNN’s parent company, at the Allen & Co. media conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, on Tuesday:
Asked about the upcoming Presidential election, Zaslav said it mattered less to him which party wins, so long as the next president was friendly to business.
“We just need an opportunity for deregulation, so companies can consolidate and do what we need to be even better.”
One of the few things Biden has been good on is anti-trust, so this means Trump.

Women in America, even the majority of pro-lifers, do not think they should be forced to give birth to their abusive father’s child. They don’t think they should be denied medical care when they’re having a miscarriage or carrying a fetus with fatal anomalies . They don’t think they should be denied IVF if they want to have a family. They don’t think they should be treated as if they are nothing more than a vessel for the purpose of birthing some man’s offspring. We stopped believing all that a very long time ago. Whatever happens in the next few days with this election, it’s important that we all keep in mind the stakes. We’re not up against Trump alone. He is the figurehead for a fascist movement that places natalism and patriarchy as one of their highest priorities. Here’s just one example of what we’re dealing with: “Because liberal states have now become sanctuaries for abortion tourism, [the U.S.
The short answer is yes—but it hasn't proven easy.
