Trump historically wore Brioni, an Italian luxury company that makes suits in Italy. Here he flashes a Jos. A Bank label, a US company that long offshored its production to China and Bangladesh. They carry an associated label called Joseph Abboud, which is made in US. Curious he didn't choose that.
Donald Trump in a navy suit. He's opening the jacket, so you can see the label. A close up of the suit label says Jos. A. Bank.

Zelensky says Ukrainian intelligence has updated information on Russian preparations for a massive strike and urged people to respond to missile alerts. He said Ukraine’s Air Force is ready, but its response is limited by available defenses and depends heavily on partners. #Ukraine

Y’all, Catholics don’t applaud in church. Ever. This is a thing. You don’t have to like the church or organized religion. You do need to understand that up until the 90s and the US church pivot to abortion as a primary issue, the Catholic Church has long been a powerhouse in immigrant communities

We all focus on Prop. 40, and that's not an accident. Villain-aires are funding a huge "NO on 40" campaign. But if their sneaky Prop 41 & 42 scams get more votes than 40, 40 fails. Then, as our state's medical care crisis unfolds, out comes the "government bad - time to privatize" stage of fascism.

As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)
Value of the
ECHR
Sir, In dangerous times, serious countries do not retreat into splendid isolation. They build alliances, multiply their influence and strengthen institutions. Key among those is the 46-member Council of Europe, at its heart the European Convention on Human Rights.As former independent reviewers of terrorism legislation we have seen at close quarters that the ECHR is not just a human rights instrument. It is a national security asset. Terrorist networks, hostile states, organised crime gangs and people smugglers do not respect borders. Tackling them requires arrangements for the closest possible co-operation with our neighbours, including through joint investigations and police access to European passenger, fingerprint, DNA and vehicle data.These arrangements expressly depend on internationally agreed human rights standards, applied by a supranational court. We detect no political willingness to excuse the UK from compliance with standards to which the rest of Europe already subscribes. As authoritarian powers grow more aggressive and democratic institutions face mounting pressure, Britain should not be abandoning one of its greatest postwar achievements.
The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the ECHR. It is whether, in an increasingly perilous world, we can afford not to.
