The must-read by Martin Sandbu on EU-US deal. The deal demonstrated EU lack of leadership. Sandhu advises EU leaders to learn from Zelensky. I cannot agree more. Ukraine teaches that in the face of aggression the best way to behave is to hold to your values. www.ft.com/content/7560...

washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/01/r... Amazing article by Barry Lynn on liberty and democracy. Profound but also very personal. "If we are honest, we will admit that Trump sits in the White House thanks largely to the rage of citizens Democrats betrayed.”
