In (my corner of) UK think tank world, we talk of little else but getting our own democracy sausages

OMG, two of my favourite smart and funny people on one podcast. @mattbevan.bsky.social is my weekly go to of 'WTF was that about?!' explainer, and @emmashortis.bsky.social combs through the binfire of US politics to pick out the bits that matter. Listen to this one - it's a corker

I have no faith in SCOTUS to do the right thing in light of what they've already done to the voting rights act.

It’s no coincidence that GM has abandoned plans to end production of vehicles using internal combustion engines. But that just means the company will die as electrification takes off globally.

Oregon’s wildfire season exploded over the weekend, with the number of acres burned more than doubling. https://mrf.lu/2c0F6

As usual, ProPublica delves into an emerging, crucial situation and explains to us that it's even worse than we imagined. @defendpublichealth.bsky.social @standupforscience.net www.propublica.org/article/fede...

Eric bought a Trump watch and is very disappointed in the quality and customer service "If DJT really knew of the logistical issues this company is having in his name and the customer service problems, I don't think he would appreciate it"

the u.s. is bullying other countries into withdrawing from the i.c.c.

One of the remarkable things about this story is Senator Andrew Bragg, a supposed moderate, sounding very MAGA: “The No.1 priority is to beat the communist Labor government.” #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
