WorkWork WorkTrump's astonishing battering of Brazil - The Economist (No paywall) Rarely since the end of the cold war has the United States interfered so deeply with a Latin American country.

WorkWorkWorkWorkTrump Redefines the Washington Scandal - The New Yorker (No paywall) If there is one Washington art that Donald Trump has perfected, it is surely that of scandal management. After two impeachments, four indictments, and more head-exploding controversies than anyone could possibly count, his playbook of denial, deflection, and distraction is achingly familiarthough it should be noted that, given how much of what he says and does is scandalous, the label has generally lost all meaning when applied to his Presidency. In his second term, Trump now benefits from the presumption of his own survival from even the most politically debilitating of stories. And how could he not? A man who can win relection after inciting a mob of supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol is hardly going to be brought down by more quotidian offenses like monetizing the White House for his own purposes or openly defying court orders. All of which raises a definitional question: Is it still a scandal if there is no possibility that the accused will face any meaningful consequences?

WorkWorkWorkMacron plan to recognise Palestine puts pressure on Starmer to choose a course “How many years can you talk about a two-state solution and only recognise one of them?” said Baskin. “There’s a need to break out of this duplicity of intentions and actions, so the French making that step is good. It needs to be done along with other G7 members, and members of the European Union that haven’t yet done it.
