🚀 Elon Musk has shifted focus from SpaceX to UK politics, amplifying far-right voices to his 240mn followers. We found a third of Musk's recent posts focused on the UK, a 10-year high, raising concern about his political influence ahead of a critical by-election. as.ft.com/r/b1cb096a-e...

Russia’s full-scale invasion began 4 years ago. It began in winter, and so this winter is the 5th. And, for civilians, the worst. Russia launches missiles and drones at energy infrastructure to force Ukrainians to endure the freezing cold. Here's how you can help snyder.substack.com/p/the-long-u...

Alaska officials gave false info to American Samoans, telling them they can vote. (They can’t, due to a unique status.) Now, the state is threatening them with years in prison, part of GOP’s voting fraud panic. @burness.bsky.social spent months reporting the story; spend some of your w-e with it.

My father was a Nazi hunter, until he was killed in the Lockerbie bombing, when I was four. Now, a man will stand trial for the crime. What does it mean, after nearly forty years, to seek justice for the crimes of history? My new cover story for the Times Magazine: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/m...

Not the first time but still shocking to hear comments from the US president that echo those from the Kremlin. Trump falsely blamed Ukraine for starting the war (Russia invaded) while also wrongly claiming Zelensky has just 4% approval rating (its 52%). www.ft.com/content/2506...
