Trump false claims about DC this morning: - It'd been "years" since DC had a previous 11-day murder-free stretch. (The district had a 16-day murder-free stretch *this* year) - Crime in DC was "at its all-time worst" under Biden. (It had been nowhere even close to its ’90s peaks)…
Mariam, killed by Israeli strike today, had the chance to leave Gaza to be with her son but she chose to stay to report and to look after her parents, her friends told us. She gave a kidney to her father. Her mother, unable to get proper treatment, died from cancer 4 months ago
This is not a slight, but the White House Rose Garden redesign has the unmistakable aura of a midrange British seaside hotel courtyard - Weymouth, or Torquay. I’ve had a Stella under those umbrellas in another life.
So Vladimir Putin, who has an ICC warrant out for his arrest, gets a meeting with the U.S. president on U.S. soil without having to give up or even promise anything—after ignoring and insulting Trump. One more win for Putin, one more loss for Trump.
To be fair, Trump has probably never said anything in his life that would piss off Putin more than this.
Together with several Guardian colleagues, as part of a large journalistic consortium, we investigated the torture and death of Ukrainian journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna in Russian captivity. theguardian.com/world/2025/apr…
Term 2 Trump foreign policy - from tariffs to NATO to soft power to China and Russia - is an epic mess. One reason seems to be that the administration is operating with two conflicting, equally flawed, views of the world and the US's place in it. 🧵

I talked briefly with the attorney representing the Salvadoran man who was wrongfully deported after an "administrative error." In court docs today, they're asking a judge to force the Trump administration to ask El Salvador to return him. the-independent.com/news/world/ame…
Can Russians and Americans be friends?
The scheduling of a Musk meeting at the Pentagon is deemed classified information and leaks about it will be investigated. But the scheduling of a secret military strike is not classified and its disclosure on an unsecured text chat has prompted no announced investigation.
More than five years ago, I wrote about the US conservatives who admire Russia dictatorship. Now they run America theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
He literally canceled AIDS medicine and anti-starvation nutrition packets for the world’s poorest.

“His feed is more in the neighbourhood of InfoWars… Musk is somehow more reckless: the things he regularly promotes lack even that kind of nexus to something based in reality.” unherd.com/2025/03/how-el…
I just got back from 36 hours in Ukraine with my brother Scott. Wanted to share a story from while we were there. At a hospital, we talked with a wounded Ukrainian soldier. I asked him what he thought about the change in US policy. His response in English was, “What the fuck.”
Reporter: Why not provide Ukraine with air defences? Trump: Because I have to know that they want to settle Trump’s peace plan appears to involve exposing Ukraine’s civilian population to Russian bombardment until the country agrees to capitulate
“I was lucky to escape any real fighting,” JD Vance wrote in his 2016 memoir about his time as a Marine Corps journalist in Iraq. I was part of British forces fighting in highly kinetic operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the latter in response to Article 5 following 9/11. The…

A comment from a friend in Kyiv with government connections: “Zelensky doesn’t need Trump’s help to give Putin four regions, downsize the army, and abandon NATO aspirations. If he wanted to surrender to Putin, he would have gone to Moscow, not Washington.” Well said, btw.

A reminder that this is the same administration that was last week lecturing the UK about "free speech"
Word of the day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (19th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.
