Samuel Alito has recused himself from a Supreme Court climate case, after ethics watchdogs uncovered his fossil fuel stockholdings. Instead of relying on the justices to occasionally do the right thing, we need Congress to enact real SCOTUS reform.

Watchdog clears former US Fed chief Powell in renovation probe
The US Federal Reserve's Office of the Inspector General found no 'reasonable grounds' to justify criminal charges against the institution's former chair, according to a report published on Wednesday. The US president demands that Powell should be 'forced to resign' or 'sued, at the highest level.'

Pappas: It’s a golden age if you’re Don Jr. getting a Russian oligarch to pay for a wedding reception, but for the rest of us, it doesn’t feel like that. They can put out whatever numbers they want. The American people know that this is a totally incompetent president who is estranged from reality.

President Macron, "Brexit has cost the UK 8% of GDP.. Brexit is the biggest lie of the last 30 years" My view: Brexit was sold as a route to greater prosperity: less bureaucracy, more money, new trade opportunities Instead, Britain put new barriers between itself and its largest trading market.

Faragists rely on the narrative of "men on boats" creating a de facto Fifth Column in the UK to feed their agenda and to stir up hostility and to win votes and ultimately power. Suckers fall for it. Media boosts it. We've been here so many times before and you'd think we'd all wise up but hey ho
